Boon Keng Chicken Pot



Foodpanda delivery of marinated side dishes from a Chinese eatery that sells those skewers of tripe & meat in a spicy or non-spicy soup base.


Drinks are Snow Pear and Honey Pomelo, both rarely seen on supermarket shelves. It tastes a little like bananas.


From over a dozen different types, I ordered 5 kinds of side dishes $6 to $8 each : mung bean noodles, shredded potatoes, kelp, preserved century egg and beef.


The preserved century egg is very good and tastes like mee rebus without the nuts. This was completely eaten up in an instant.


The mung bean noodles are non-spicy and mixed in a garlicky peanut sauce with cucumbers, carrots, black fungus. This can only be kept overnight at best coz the mung bean noodles turn hard & dry.


The shredded potatoes are very much like crunchy radish, in a spicy vinegar sauce. 


The beef slices hold well together and mixed with garlic and chilies, ready for a salad or sandwich.


Kelp that is a pricey delicacy most times but here it tastes a little swampy, after about a week or so it tastes better coz the garlic chili really overpowers everything else.

Fayidha Restaurant



Foodpanda delivery from Fayidha Restaurant, that corner coffeeshop along Kim Keat Road. The food is always good.


I ordered Murtabak Emirates Mutton that is a wrap all rolled up with fresh salad and dressing inside. The dhal curry is like a dip for the wrap.


Teh Halia or ginger milk tea and mango lassi drinks, cold. Iced teh halia tastes better than the hot version.


Mee Goreng Seafood, I like that its in dark soya sauce so its sweeter even though its not Chinese style mee goreng.


The food was soo good I ordered it again, murtabak emirates chicken, mee goreng mutton, teh halia cold and teh o limau cold.



They sent prata instead with prata curry, still good.

82 Western Food



Foodpanda delivery from 82 Western Food @ Whampoa. It's nearby and yet I have not tried the food from this stall yet.


Fish & Chips, Mixed Grill and an extra side order of onion rings. Free can of Coca-cola with every mains ordered.


The fish and chips are really soft, I think its called milkfish and it just melts in the mouth.


The mixed grill was just chicken chop, a bit of steak and that fried fish fillet again.


An extra side of gravy with that extra side of onion rings.

Famous Long House Big Prawn Noodle



Foodpanda delivery from the famous prawn noodle stall @ Food Centre on Balestier Road. The prawn soup is still amazing.



Large size bowl of big prawn noodles costs $15! This is from a foodcourt not cafe.


Also ordered the Teochew Fried Prawn $10.30 and Teochew Oyster Omelette $8.30. Both pretty good with sour chili.

New Restaurants @ Zhongshan Park



Stackz, a new pancake place. I ordered Creamy Mussels as an after thought and it turned out to be unbelievably delicious. 


Passionfruit cooler, I like this fruit after trying out all the tea mixes, its not soo good on its own.


Salmon Avocado Crepe with cream on the side and no cheese. It's ok I guess but for $16.90 that's the same price as in Europe and avocado toast is the latest food trend there right now.


NewUbin @ Ramada Inn promises to be the best Zhi Char in Singapore and its about the same standard as any seafood restaurant in Singapore. I ordered Red Dot mocktail $9 just a dollar more than fresh coconut.


Punggol Mee Goreng $15 had just the right wok hei flavor even with fish cakes inside its still pretty tasty. And the Squid YouTiao $10 is stuffed full of meat, it's crispier coz its cut smaller than usual.


Something a little different is the Foie Gras Satay, just one stick served with raspberry sauce that goes nicely with it $9.


There is now Starbucks and McDonald just outside my place, no need to travel to Orchard Road / Shenton Way for it anymore. I actually stumbled in on opening day 👌🙌🙏. Now this place is like any other generic shopping center.

Gong Cha / Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf



Foodpanda delivery from Gong Cha @ Tan Tock Seng Hospital. $25.50 for 4 large size cups of bubble tea.


I ordered for myself Ginger Milk Tea with pearls, herbal jelly and red bean. It's Teh Halia with red bean and the herbal jelly is very mild tasting, pretty good dessert. The other one is Earl Grey Milk Tea with 3J or pudding & aiyu jelly & pearls.


Lychee Oolong Tea with Aloe Vera one of my favourite teas especially when mixed with fruits. And Passionfruit Green Tea with Rainbow Jelly, similar to the one at LiHo lots of seeds from the passion fruit. 


Foodpanda delivery from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf @ TTSH too. Its a pasta set lunch for one person $25.30 and an extra sandwich $10.90 for later. Portions are kinda small-ish.

Original Herbal Shop



Foodpanda delivery from the Original Herbal Shop @ Balestier Road. I ordered Kwai Leng Guo or herbal jelly one of its signature desserts $8 and Mango Sago dessert $4.50. 


I ordered regular herbal jelly and they sent along the mentholated version that just adds to that TCM flavor. Needs more sugar syrup but I managed to finish it in one sitting. This tastes more like Aussie food than anything else, not meant to be minty.


More Aussie food, the mango is fruity and not soo sweet and there is no "soup" or pudding here, just fresh milk and boiled sagos.



From Breadtalk there are desserts in a cup (2 for $10) and snow cake ($10.90), just needs a rabbit sweet wrapper around it.


I ordered Sakura Aiyu Jelly Yuzu Tea and Korea Tea. The sakura jelly is very mild and the white tea is quite light, tastes more like a mixed drink than tea.


 Passion Green Tea and Korea Tea again. There are lots of seeds in the passion fruit and the green tea used is slightly floral, not bad might order it again.
