Toa Payoh Lorong 1 Block 127
Hope to explore this market and food centre more. The hawker food is located on the second floor and there seem to be many stalls that have been there for years.

Best Spicy Handmade Noodles
Whenever we get a craving for handmade noodles, Lenu has the consistency that doesn’t disappoint. They didn’t charge for hot water which is great. I like the water almost boiling hot, cos it cools down very fast with the air … Continue reading

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

Where I Used My CDC Vouchers #5: Seng Kee Mushroom Minced Meat Noodles
Got the bigger portion at S$6 each and have S$44 of vouchers left. (Opted for no liver). Somehow we both felt the broth wasn’t as rich as it used to be when the elderly man was at the helm. But … 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

Tomato Soup at Saybons
Didn’t like coming here as the service is often abrupt (partner would say rude & what can you expect as F&B staff are paid a pittance), but today there was a patient, polite, older person at the cashier. I recall … 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 .

Kay Lee at Suntec: Kinda Pathetic Portions and Not As Fantastic as the Original

An Old Favourite: Yakader Briyani at Tekka Market
Somehow the chicken is not as soft as I recall and the curry not as tasty but it’s still one my favourite in Singapore. The ginger milk tea (Teh Alia) at the nearby stall is really good too with a … Continue reading
