There is a Hole-In-The-Wall zi char located right next the Hole-In-The-Wall steak house I wrote about recently. I guess it comes as no surprise that if you have two eateries next to each other and one is a “Hole-In-The-Wall”, then the other must be occupying another hole in the same wall! What is surprising is that […]

Here is another old school prawn mee to add to that list of prawn mee places that include Blanco Court Prawn Noodles, Beach Road Prawn Noodles, Jalan Sultan Prawn Noodles and Blanco Prawn Noodle House. Their style of prawn mee is the very familiar old school broth which is clear and light brown in color […]

The Covid 19 pandemic has seen quite a few casualties especially in the fine dining category. Thankfully, Restaurant Jag had managed to weather the storm. During the initial lockdown, the restaurant managed to stay afloat through home delivery of classic French home cooked meals like coq au vin and boeuf bourguignon. In phase 2, the seating capacity of the already small restaurant had to be reduced further.

This little oasis of chaos in Joo Chiat is a nice escape from the orderliness of modern Singapore and is the perfect spot for the members of the Hainanese clan association to conduct a lunch meeting!

Simpang Bedok is a Mee Pok Tar warzone. Everywhere you look, there seems to be a mee pok tar claiming to belong to Ah Lim or Lau Lim or linked to Jalan Tua Kong. But, if you step out of the crossfire and into Wanton Noodle House, you will find yourself in an oasis of calm to enjoy old school wanton mee accompanied by some really nice side dishes.

When I first got the invite to dine at Restaurant A380, I thought it was just a gimmick. But then Lisa said that it is probably a once in a lifetime experience since it is highly unlikely that we will experience another pandemic like Covid 19 in our lifetimes. So we went… And I am […]

You don't need fancy white tablecloths and a big hole in the pocket in order to experience a seriously good steak (at least not a BIG hole). In fact, some of the best steaks I ever had where at a friend's BBQ or even in my own home! All you need is to get your hands on a great piece of meat and know how to cook it properly!

I think most Singaporeans get their Teochew Porridge fix either at home or at one of those late night coffeeshop stalls like Yue Shang Hai where all the cooked dishes are laid out for your picking. Places where dishes are cooked to order are less common. The one which I always remember fondly was Xu Jun Sheng at Joo Chiat. They had the most incredible tofu prawns, cold crabs and even simple dishes like fried cabbage was superb!

Tucked in a remote corner of the newly renovated basement of Great World is a hidden gem which you might easily miss when you are hunting for something to eat. It is located where the old food court used to be, but is now a smaller, cosier space which has been turned into a Japanese Dining Hall.

This colonial curry recipe is a family favourite. I learnt the recipe over 20 years ago in Sydney from an old Hainanese uncle. We usually cook this as a curry, but today I will cook the chicken first to give it a crispy skin and then serve it with the sauce! If you are in […]

Steelpot Vermicelli
Goong Ob Woon Sen, (prawns baked with vermicelli) is one of my favourite Thai dishes. It can be found in the menu of most Thai restaurants here. However, in Bangkok, there are restaurants like the very popular Somsak Pu Ob that actually specialises in the dish.

If you are looking for a silver lining in this whole Covid 19 situation, then this is one of them. We would never have the chance to eat this old school grandma bak chang if not for the fact that the virus has forced some individuals to make abrupt career switches! Such is the case […]

Attended the media preview of Luke’s Lobster which will be serving their famous lobster rolls this Wed 23 Sep at the entrance of Isetan at Shaw Centre. I am sure some of you here would have lined up for their lobster rolls in Tokyo and NY before.

The secret to an amazing Zi Char meal is "Wok Hei" (breath of wok) and the key to finding that elusive "Wok Hei" is to find a good chef with a well seasoned wok! That might sound quite intuitive, but the reality is that it is difficult to find an established chef who still cooks all the dishes himself! Most of the time, the arduous task of wok cooking is designated to a lower ranked cook.

A nicely charred ribeye steak with a luscious mushroom sauce is a gourmet dish which you can easily make at home with a few simple ingredients available with several taps on your keyboard! And it really doesn't take a lot of time!

What is it about Eng Kee’s chicken wings that is so good that it causes people (and even PM Lee) to wait in the queue for an hour for? The answer is self evident when you bite into it. Something inside you just wants to take the next bite, and the next until you finish […]

I usually get more than a meal every time I visit Chef Damian D'Silva's restaurant. I always go away feeling like I have just spent a day at the museum, but with a full belly to boot.

I had my most memorable Pau encounter years ago when my friend David brought our family to Wee Hoi kopitiam for the “grandma” pau. The paus were big, fluffy and rustic looking — something you would expect grandma to make. We arrived at the kopitiam at 12.30pm, sat at the table and waited. There was […]

Nothing is going to get between Singaporeans and our food! This year, the Singapore Food Festival (SFF) will go virtual for the first time from 21 – 30 August. There will be no need to jostle with the crowds (ironically, this is something I kinda miss) or wait in the queue for your favourite dish […]

This is one of those really frustrating recipes which took me a long time to get right even though I was using a tried and tested recipe by veteran culinary instructor Irene Yip. A lot of it has to do with technique. In the end, Irene had to show me how to make it step by step so that I got to appreciate all the minor details in the recipe. I have included everything I have learnt here so that you don't have to go through all the heart aches I have had to go through! So, make sure you read the detailed instructions at the bottom of the post!
