Even though parts of Punggol are incredibly inaccessible, the residents there are amply provided for by the multitude of food options conveniently situated close by. One of these options is @sin_chao_culinary, which offers all kinds of homely Chinese classics. The bulk of their focus is on zichar staples served in little claypots, but they do 菜贩 (rice with a variety of meat/veg), double boiled soups which greatly pleases my Cantonese sensibilities, and distinctly Taiwanese inspired bentos.⠀

Sin Chao Culinary has a tasty trio of bentos served in a nostalgic tin lunchbox, and they’re all priced quite reasonably at $6.50 nett. The only thing that differentiates these bentos from each other is the main meat option, all come with a whole lotta rice, a whole braised egg, some stir fried cabbage & carrots, and a couple of slices of Taiwanese sausage. The Braised Pork Belly Bento has a sizeable slab of savoury braised pork belly aa the centrepiece, while the Crispy Fermented Beancurd Pork Belly starred sliced up deep fried pork belly, marinated with fermented beancurd paste for an extra deep umami. The sauciest selection is a Singapore staple: curry chicken. Curry chicken on rice is elite, I tell you what.

Thank you for having us @sin_chao_culinary & thank you to @eatwithkeat & @laoniangagency for the invite!
