Dumpling Darlings, Amoy Street
Go!! Dumplings Darlings. An amusing name that translates into a fun mealtime experience with the main stars being none other than dumplings. If you’re strongly loyal to traditional dumplings or guo tie however, this place is not quite made for you. (Screenshot from Dumpling Darlings’ Facebook page) The menu. So cute right! Judging by the Continue reading

Pot Yummy Yummy, Telok Ayer Street
Go!! [Update on 3 Sep 20] It’s been more than a year since I was here and I must say they are currently one of the stronger hotpot+BBQ buffet shops around! Pot Yummy Yummy is a place to scream about for one simple reason: where else can you find a hotpot + BBQ dinner buffet Continue reading

Forbidden Duck, Marina Bay Link Mall
Go!!! Situated on the second floor of Marina Bay Link Mall, Forbidden Duck may be a little too hidden from the general crowd. Fortunately, this also means a feeling of exclusivity and prestige, especially when you have a direct lift to the restaurant. (Screenshot from Marina Bay Link Mall’s website) The menu can be a Continue reading

Upin, Orchard Gateway
Worth a try. Upin is rumoured to be opened by ex-HDL staff, so I had some expectations that it would be somewhat similar to Shang Pin in terms of food quality and service standards. The soup bases are charged the same way as Shang Pin; choose any combination and they’ll charge you the price of Continue reading

COCA Dinner Buffet, Kallang Leisure Park
No. COCA is easily the creme de la creme of steamboat when I was a kid. I have held high regards for it since then as it was one of those places you go on a very special occasion. Disappointed to say this is no longer true. I tried the buffet dinner (works out to Continue reading

8 Prosperous Snacks to get from Takashimaya CNY fair 2019
With less than 3 weeks to go, it can be quite nerve wrecking for some people to buy Chinese New Year snacks for their friends and family. You don’t want to buy the same old flavours from the same old brands, and you don’t want to push your way through the huge crowd just to Continue reading

Wanton Fu, Arc 380
Go!!! This is one place that caught me by pleasant surprise. For its location, I did not expect the wonton mee here to be outstanding. So good that it deserves an entry on its own! You’ll quickly notice upon entering that they have a bottle of chilli on every table. I like to refer to Continue reading

Shang Pin Hot Pot, Marina Square and Rendezvous Hotel
Go!!! Step out of the comforts of Hai Di Lao and Beauty in the Pot. Shang Pin Hotpot at Marina Square and Rendezvous Hotel is arguably the most affordable alternative to the two big players. As a bonus, there’s hardly any queue especially at the Marina Square branch because the floor area is huge! I’ve Continue reading

The Salted Plum, Circular Road
[CLOSED] When my friends suggested The Salted Plum for dinner I was afraid it’ll turn out to be one of those exorbitant priced eatery along Boay Quay. Turns out they have a very unique business proposition. All their items are priced at $5, $10 or $15, which doesn’t seem too overly pricey and to be Continue reading

Imperial Treasure Steamboat, Ion Orchard
Go!!! Having tried big hotpot brands like Beauty in the Pot (BITP) and Hai Di Lao (HDL), how does this good ol’ skool steamboat compare? For starters, the sauce station is brought to you. You can mix your own concoction, or have them mix one for you depending on your preferred level of spicyness. I Continue reading
