It was crowded this time as we were there after 1.30pm and not around noon like the last time.

Where I Used My CDC Vouchers #7: My first Visit at Toa Payoh Lorong 1 Block 127 Dough Fritter Stall, 02-05
Extremely rare for me to find green bean ham chin pang (hum chin peng) and the owner here is so nice and friendly. Even after I run out of CDC vouchers, I would definitely revisit. The owner only makes a … Continue reading

Where I Used My CDC Vouchers #6: Teochew Handmade Pau, Toa Payoh, Lorong 1, Block 127 Hawker Centre
Honestly we wanted to try the famous carrot cake here at this Toa Payoh market and food centre on level 2. (The ground level is the wet market so you got to take the lift or climb up to this … Continue reading

Favourite Noodles: Kok Kee Wanton Mee
A truly satisfying lunch for S$4.50. Pity you can’t use the CDC Vouchers here, but I think they don’t need the extra business perhaps and that scheme is probably to help hawkers not on our radar yet. This was at … Continue reading

Just One Of My Favourite Places where the Coffee is not Bitter & the Service is Good
Every time I find a cafe I like it tends to close down. It’s mostly because I like places that are relatively empty, at least at off peak hours. The service at the Gastronomia Da Paolo VivoCity Branch is great. … Continue reading

My Mostly Bad Experiences at RK Prata & I Don’t Get Why People Rave About this Place
Usually come if there’s a parking lot right in front of the stall. Just seems convenient. However, service is very inconsistent. Mostly rude, often ignored and you are made to feel invisible, even when the place is relatively empty. There … Continue reading

Old Fashioned Cream Cake
I found out at Fun toast they charge 30 cents for a tiny cup of hot water. Here at Toast Box they charge 40 cents but the mug contains thrice the amount. I wish water was free, and there were … Continue reading

Where I Used My CDC Vouchers #4: Mee Rebus at Dju Dju Nasi Padang
Was debating whether to post this or not as I’m not really a fan of mee rebus and I found this version a tad too starchy and sweet. I added the two kinds of chilli provided but it still wasn’t … Continue reading

My Favourite Teh Halia at Tekka: Mubarak Ali Kopitiam
In my subjective opinion the best teh halia (ginger milk tea) in Singapore. I like my tea, sweet, milky, smooth, not tannic and the ginger doesn’t need to be overpowering .

Where I Used My CDC Vouchers #3: Serangoon Garden Carrot Cake & Wanton Noodle

Where I Used My CDC Vouchers #2: Creamier Toa Payoh
Although you’ll run out of vouchers fast if you use them all here, it felt worth the splurge. Some of the best waffles and ice cream I’ve had. Second time here, and as a creature of habit I stuck to … Continue reading

Dining Out In Singapore During Chemo
I would have never given this a second thought before, but it’s awful to never get a chance to dine out. During my first chemo cycle when my drastic hysterectomy (including removal of womb, Fallopian tubes, ovaries, 21 lymph nodes … Continue reading

Favourite Drink: Avacado Juice
More accurately it should be called a shake. The one at Alexandra Village hawker centre is truly the best. Fragrant, creamy and refreshing. It’s a meal in itself.

Millennia Walk: Not Crowded on the Weekend
It’s hard to find a place to sit and have a chat that’s not crowded on the weekends. The coffee joints tend to be filled up with students hogging seats. The Joe & Dough at Millennia Walk was surprisingly empty. … Continue reading

Tony’s Pizza: Sadly Disappointing
B has been complaining that he has been unable to have a real american style pizza with a dense chewy crust as health conscious folks have made all the crusts so thin and almost biscuit like. I too feel that other … Continue reading

Dum Briyani: Yakader at Tekka Market
Back the millionth time to Yakader at Tekka Market which is a testament to how much we like it. Messy looking, but extremely delicious to us. You can go back to the stall for a top up of the ‘talchar’ … Continue reading

Finally tried out the famous frozen yoghurt from Spain. I wasn’t impressed but it’s definitely zero fat. I prefer my yoghurt full fat and no sugar (and I like to have it with my South Indian rice meal) instead of … Continue reading

Venchi Chocolate Gelato
This was one of the best chocolate gelatos I had (during a trip to Rome) and I was excited to see that Robinson’s had a counter (wish it was a cafe though). The chocolate was so thick that the way … Continue reading
