Still not fully recovered, but longing to dive into this pile of crispy, golden chicken parts. Using only fresh, not frozen, meat, this dish has the poultry marinated for 6 hours in a proprietary seasoning before being battered and deep-fried. You'll find the meat is immensely tasty from skin to bone – great on its own or complemented with the accompanying salsa and honey mustard sauce. Also available as wings or boneless tenders.

P.S. - Wash down all that yummy chook with the Ladykiller! It's a boozy drink built for sharing: an upsized mojito with an upside-down bottle of beer that replenishes the cocktail as you sip from it.

Super shiok, slippery mee tai mak with savoury sauce, crunchy cut long beans and a half boiled egg!

Toa payoh outlet closes at 1130pm, for late and hungry comfort food!

One of the best thing I had in awhile! All these yummy morsels of pork plus flavourful rice with a shiok haebeehiam kinda chilli and pickled veggie and the must-have for any ethereal rice bowl-the honorable onsen egg for just a mere $11.80. Just take my money already!!

At @kinsasushi HillV2 Not exaggerating, this was one of the best beef bowl I had. The glistering slices were luxurious with their marbling, perfectly cut, tender and flavourful that would leave traces of happiness in your mouth and belly.

Dessert platter ($18.80): choice of three counter cakes, 1 cupcake, 2 macaroons, 1 glass dessert: chocolate guanaja, rainbow cake, salted caramel, carrot cupcake, blueberry macaroon, pistachio macaroon, tiramisu. All super delicious, but perhaps a tad sweet. This is a portion for 5-6 people after a lunch. Such a good deal and you get to sample so many desserts! Super attentive and friendly waitresses! Place is small hence super crowded whenever I pass by, whether day or night. Simple and nice wooden decor. Definitely worth a return visit! Highly recommended!

This place is actually the sister store of the very popular Lola's Cafe. Was there at around 8pm plus and it's actually not very crowded. It's a better alternative for people who are staying in the west, central or south. There were quite a number of seats and they were pretty spaced out so it's not like some of those cramp up cafés. Price wise is actually the same as Lola's. About $15 for an eggs Benedict and $16 for an aglio olio. When you're here, the honey wings ($9) are a must try. Their service was good too. After we finish our meal at about 9, we wanted to order waffles with ice cream. However after paying for it, one of the staff told us that they ran out of batter and ask us if we wanted to change it to a brownie instead. But we were craving for waffles so they refunded us and gave us a scoop of ice cream for the inconvenience. Hooray!

The tender slices of marinated pork belly are good, but the limelight is almost entirely stolen by the incredibly fragrant garlic fried rice – you can catch a whiff of its mouthwatering pungency before it even reaches the table. The well-separated grains of rice are swathed in a delicious aroma of wok hei, making me want to chase every bite with another.

We love the Tomyam Wanton Mee here, the noodles texture is great and has a fiery tomyam kick! Noodles are priced at $5 each, there are also pork trotters rice for the big appetite.

Comnam is the sister outlet of the expanding Namnam noodle bar chain. This probably tells you two things for sure- decent quality and pocket-friendly prices. However, I must admit the service here is less than decent and leaves a lot more to be desired. But who is to complain when your rice bowl of goodness is less than $15. I ordered the rice bowl with lemongrass pork and pork rib and the marinated meats were flavourful and perfect when paired with the broken rice which absorbs the accompanying gravy like thirsty hippo (bad reference I know). The heavy flavour of the meats were balanced by the provision of refreshing pickles and veggie. I also had the steamed rice dumplings thing which had the texture of 水晶包 and the other one was like a cross between Otah and Chwee kueh. Worth trying if you want something new but taste wise, it's more of acceptable rather than exceedingly good.

Hansik Korean family restaurant sits just above McDonalds in Queensway shopping centre. This place is rather huge which translates to an abundance of seats and much less a queue. Their ala carte menu is more on the pricey side. However, they do have a lunch menu which goes easy on the pocket. Ever since I came back from summer school in Korea, I've been trying to find a rabokki (ramyun noodles with the famous rice cakes) that could momentarily bring me back to the days of huddling in a neighborhood eatery in Seoul. Rabokki is like the ultimate carbo-heavy comfort food. I would say this version was rather satisfying and super duper filling! Would have loved it more if the gravy was spicier. Nonetheless, this would probably be the place to satisfy my rabokki fix till I fly off to the land of kimchi again.
