Affordable and quality cafe-style food at a food court might seem impossible, but The Pasta Boutique has proved us wrong. The Pasta Boutique is a newly-opened stall at New Century Food House in Bedok North. Don’t be fooled by their name as they serve up more than just homemade pasta.

Homemade pasta is a rare find, especially for small hawker stalls which may not have sufficient manpower and the luxury of time. Therefore, we know right from the start that The Pasta Boutique is a gem. Their handmade prawn ravioli is freshly made in-house by Chef Eddie who used to work at Marriott and Four Seasons.

Along with his ex-colleague, Mark, he set up this small hawker stall to cook what they love to eat for the heartlanders at reasonable prices. Diners can expect Seabass with Spicy Salsa Verde($12.80) and Mediterranean Style Stripling Steak($18.50).

One of the dishes we tried was their highly recommended Salted Egg Prawn Ravioli ($13.80). 4 large pieces of homemade prawn ravioli come coated in salted egg sauce, with sprinkles of chilli padi and curry leaves. The portion of ravioli doesn’t look like much, but it was surprisingly filling because of the thickness of the pasta.

There was a good prawn to pasta ratio, and I enjoyed the prawn paste very much. The salted egg yolk sauce was a tad too grainy but tasty nonetheless. You might get a little sick of the sauce towards the end because of its heaviness so I will recommend that you share this with at least a friend. For the amount of effort and time that went into making this, the price point is really reasonable.

The other main that we tried was the Chilli Crab Pasta ($10.50). It features pasta tossed with crabmeat and chilli crab sauce. You have a choice of spaghetti, linguine or fettuccine.

It is labelled as ‘spicy’, so it might not be suitable for children. However, I think it is quite manageable for most Singaporeans.

The highlight of this bowl was the amount of crab meat nestled between the pasta. Genuine crab meat is APLENTY, and it definitely felt like this dish was value for money. The pasta was too hard for my liking, and could have been cooked for a longer time to get that perfect al dente texture.

I expected the pasta to get dry towards the end, but that did not happen. I would suggest getting linguine instead of fettuccine as the sauce, which is more on the watery side, might pair better with a thinner pasta.

The Pasta Boutique offers a variety of sides too. Their Mashed Potatoes go for just $2! We tried the Sautéed Button Mushrooms ($4) where were fragrant and not too greasy. You can always add them into your pasta for some extra ingredients!

All in all, The Pasta Boutique carries an appealing range of pastas and mains. Longer waiting times are to be expected here as there is only one chef cooking.

The post The Pasta Boutique – Awesome Homemade Chilli Crab Pasta for just $10.50! appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

I won’t lie, it was pretty tough finding good food within walking distance from Simei MRT(apart from the typical fast food outlets). Even my friends who stay at Simei were sceptical that I could do a write-up on good food in Simei. Let us know if we have missed out on any hidden gems.

J-Story

This casual Korean restaurant with another branch at Capitol Plaza specializes in Porridge. However, they ran out of porridge when we were there on a Sunday night, despite it being only 7.30pm. Undeterred, we tried the Cheese Dak Galbi Hotplate Set ($10.80) which comes with peach tea.

Our sizzling hotplate arrived promptly, with lettuce, slices of chicken, rice cakes and of course, cheese. The cheese was quite evenly spread over the top of the ingredients and was nicely melted (perfect for the #cheesepull shot). The cheese complements the meat instead of overpowering it. Save those rice cakes because there are only 2-3 on one hotplate.

Sakura Halal Thai Chinese Restaurant

This halal-certified Thai restaurant is more like a Muslim-friendly tze char place. It serves up a huge variety of dishes, which ranges from the popular Oyster Omelette ($12/$16/$20) to Chilli Crab (from $29).

We tried the Golden Oats Chicken ($10/$15/$20) which comes with a generous portion of fragrant smelling oats. The chicken comes in popcorn-sized chunks. They look tiny, but they weren’t coated with too much batter nor were they fatty. The curry leaves provide a subtle curry fragrance, but the amount of chilli padi was lacking. Could have been more spicy, in my opinion! 

三宝板面 (San Bao Ban Mian)

This stall in Hola Cafeteria, just beside Simei MRT, is rather popular. We tried their Dry You Mian ($3.80) which comes with a fragrant sauce with fried onions. While the noodles were too starchy and got dry quickly, I thought that the chilli was satisfying enough to make up for it. It would have been better if the egg wasn’t overcooked, to allow the creamy yolk to mix with the noodles. The fried anchovies stayed crispy despite having been tossed around in the noodles, and were extra savoury after soaking up the sauce at the bottom of the bowl. 

Snack Shop Chicken Rice

Come here if you’re on a tight budget, because their chicken rice is so affordable! At just $2.50, you get a decent portion of chicken on top of fragrant, savoury rice. Sure, there isn’t any free-flow cucumbers or achar here, but the yummy rice which can be eaten on its own sure makes up for it. While the ingredients are simple, this makes for a fuss-free meal that can be eaten in less than 15mins. If you’re craving for a more hearty meal to fill your tummy, you can add on extra dishes(they seem to be a cai png store as well). Also, get some of their chilli – its addictive!

Jiaxiang Pancake

This place has one of the most impressive min jiang kueh menus I’ve seen. They have Black Sesame ($1.40) and Corn ($1.10) for those with a sweet tooth and even Cai Po + Egg + Spring Onion + Carrot ($1.80) if you want a heavier snack or a quick meal replacement. We tried the classic Peanut ($1.10) because I wanted a clear taste of the chinese pancake without all the frills! The lady manning the store is extremely generous with the portion of peanuts. Do get a plate because its going to get really messy. I liked that the batter of the pancake was done just right, and it was made to order, making it crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The peanuts weren’t too sweet as well. If you’re eating this on the go, consider getting the Peanut Paste ($1.10) as it is a less messy option.

Cantonese Porridge @ Hola Cafeteria

You might spot a long queue at this store which sells Cantonese-style porridge. We tried the Sliced Fish Porridge ($4) which comes with a whole stick of youtiao (dough fritters)! The fish was well cooked and did not have a fishy smell and went well with the generous ginger slices that came on top of our bowl. The porridge could be smoother and creamier. Although it isn’t of the highest quality, it is still a bowl of comfort food that is almost perfect for a cold day. Add an egg($0.50) for extra happiness!

Metta Cafe

Established in 2014 by Metta Welfare Association, Metta Cafe aims to provide vocational training for students with mild intellectual disabilities and/or autism who have graduated from Metta School. The menu changes every four weeks and they have daily specials. With vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, dietary restrictions are well taken care off here. We tried their best-seller – the Olive Fried Rice ($4). It comes with carrots, peas, corn and mock meat. We thought that it was rather tasty, but lacked wok-hei and was too oily for us. They offer whole cakes and other bakes such as homemade eggless cookies as well! The public may access Metta Cafe via the main gate or the side gate near the bus stop.

The next time I’m around Simei, I’ll be sure to grab a min jiang kueh to munch on from Jiaxiang Pancake. The impressive range of toppings certainly sets them apart from the quintessential pancake store. Other than that, Sakura Halal Thai-Chinese restaurant is a good place to bring your Muslim friends for a hearty meal!

The post 7 Great Places to Visit The Next Time You’re at Simei appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

If you’ve been planning where to go and what to do with your family this school holiday, you should definitely include Quayside Isle @ Sentosa Cove on your list. The picturesque views here make for an unforgettable experience. The large variety of cuisines here will make sure that even the pickiest of eaters will find something.

Schmear

Schmear is an New York slang usually used to describe spreading cream cheese on bagels. Jason, the owner of Schmear, is from New York and he specialises in his own hand-rolled bagels.

Jason started from a small oven in his home in Sentosa Cove. His bagels received good feedback from his neighbours and he decided to set up Schmear with his sister, Stacey, who moved all the way from NY to help him in late 2016. With a recipe that has been tweaked nearly 50 times, you’re sure to get bagels of the highest quality here.

You can expect American-sized portions at affordable prices. Their Bagels go for just $3, and if you want to add on their signature ‘schmears’, simply top up $3. Go for exciting flavours like chipotle avocado and jalapeno cheddar or stick to the classics. We heard that the bagels here have been touted the BEST in Singapore, so you really should not miss out on them!

We tried their signature The New Yorker ($8), a bagel sandwich which comes with two fried eggs and melted American cheddar cheese. We would recommend adding on crispy bacon ($3). Bacon just makes everything better, doesn’t it? This was my favourite out of the three that we tried! The slightly salty bagel was chewy and satisfying.

The Southwestern ($11) is an interesting breakfast bagel that contains a dash of sriracha with two eggs, homemade guacamole and tangy pepper jack cheese. We loved the slightly spicy kick from the sriracha and the creamy homemade mashed guacamole. The Central Park ($14) is made for those who prefer seafood. With a generous coating of scallion cream cheese, a hearty helping of lox (smoked salmon) and a light sprinkle of capers, this combination is a crowd pleaser and one that will certainly leave an impression.

We loved their Not So Short Pancake Stack ($16) that comes with two fluffy pancakes, addition of blueberries, strawberries or chocolate chips would require a top up of $4. Those who love their berries and pancakes will naturally gravitate towards this option.

Other than the hearty items, Acai Bowls ($14), Smoothies ($9) and Cold Pressed Juices ($8) are available too. All their ingredients are made from scratch (the burger patties are made from 10kg chunks of beef that’s ground in-house!), guaranteeing an authentic American experience. They will be adding an expanded dinner menu in July after their new executive Chef arrives, so stay tuned!

Blue Lotus – Chinese Eating House

Blue Lotus Chinese Eating House is different from your usual chilli crab hotspots and is definitely a recommended dining destination.

Their Signature Chilli Pomelo Crab ($8/100g) is simmered with lemongrass and ginger flower. The thick gravy has got just enough heat, and appears to be fiery on the first mouthful, but you will start to love it. A whole Sri Lankan crab is stirred into the delicious gravy. The addictive part is paired with pomelo which helps to extinguish the some of the heat. Other crab options include HK Style Bei Fung Tong Crab, Claypot Crab Vermicelli Noodles, Wok Fried Salted Egg Yolk Crab and Steamed Crab with Egg White and Fragrant Oil.

To complement the chilli crab, we had the Braised XO Mee Pok ($34). We couldn’t resist the Mee Pok which comes with jumbo king prawns as well.

Let’s Eat!

Psst, this is the only Let’s Eat! outlet in Singapore that has Seafood Fried Rice ($8)! This item was added into the menu due to popular demand. Diners can look forward to classic Singaporean dishes like Laksa ($6) and Teochew Fishball Noodles ($5) as well.

For the days you’re craving something a bit more hearty, get the Laksa which has a rich and flavourful broth. Authentic traditional local fare is known for its spicy flavours and this bowl of laksa satisfied my craving for something spicy.

We also got the Teochew Fishball Noodles to share. The fishballs were springy with a nice bite and the noodles did not have an alkaline taste. I especially enjoyed the robust chilli that coated the noodles.

Greenwood Fish Market

Greenwood Fish Market is famous for their yearly Oyster Festival that happens every July. Not only do they have a large selection of oysters, they have a whole lot of seafood as well. They pride themselves on their “sea to table” philosophy, so freshness is an absolute guarantee.

The Cold Seafood Platter ($99) features half a steamed Boston lobster, marinated yellow-fin tuna with furikage, freshly shucked Irish regal oysters, New Zealand green lipped mussels, littleneck clams, cooked live tiger prawns and in-house cold smoked salmon. The platter is good for sharing between 2 pax as a main course and 3-4 pax as an appetiser.

For the mains, we tried the Fresh Atlantic Cod (under Trawler’s Catch – $34.99) and the Grilled Spanish Octopus ($18.99) which is served with Artichoke and Green Goddess Dressing. The delicate flesh of the cod possessed a pristine freshness and subtle sweetness which won our hearts instantly. The Fresh Fish ($26.99) includes Red Snapper, Sole Fillet, Atlantic Salmon, Barramundi and Tuna Fish. The pan seared Atlantic Salmon tasted extremely fresh. It retained its firmness after cooking and was marinated well.

Greater Lot by Cedele

Greater Lot by Cedele aims to serve natural and wholesome food. Instead of categorising food items under Pasta, Mains or Sandwiches, Greater Lot groups their offerings under ‘Seafood’, ‘Meat’ and even ‘Plant’.

Have you ever tried TURMERIC in your latte? Greater Lot by Cedele offers Turmeric Honey Latte ($5.50) as one of their signature items. The latte has a dark yellow hue and comes with an accompanying pineapple puff pastry which is available on a while stocks last basis.

The Buckwheat and Berries Pancakes ($15) is both a vegetarian AND gluten-free (apart from the superfood granola) option. It comes with chia, almond butter from The Hunters’ Kitchenette, maple syrup, and seasonal fresh fruits.

Under the ‘Plant’ category, we tried the Mixed Mushroom Garlic Tossed Grains ($14) which is also gluten-free. It has grilled pumpkin, button mushrooms, shimeiji mushrooms, poached egg, sprouts and 3 types of grains – organic brown rice, sorghum and tri colour quinoa tossed with aromatics. The grains were so flavourful that I could eat them on their own!

Super Good ($11) is a comforting smoothie bowl that contains the Amazon superfood acai, seasonal berries, yogurt and raw honey. The smoothie base is then topped with their oven-roasted granola, more fresh fruits, toasted nuts and shredded coconut. It was a refreshing addition to our meal, and undoubtedly a great pick-me-up on hot days!

Mykonos On The Bay

Mykonos is known for their summer party atmosphere and the iconic white and blue shades that blanket the city. While the Mykonos On The Bay is more of a place to chill-out, it is still covered in white and blue.

We started our meal with Tzatziki ($14), a yogurt spread salad with garlic, cucumber and dill, Melitzanosalata ($14), which comprises grilled eggplant “caviar”, fresh herbs, garlic, olive oil and greek yogurt, and Taramosalata ($15.50), a traditional fish roe spread salad served with herb prawns, “lagana” bread and olive oil. Our favourite has got to be the traditional fish roe spread that was slightly salty and creamy.

Originating from the Middle East, Mousaka ($27) is a Mediterranean dish served warm with top layer of creamy béchamel sauce. Layers of beef and eggplant are cooked separately before being put together and baked till the top layer is browned. We loved the creamy béchamel sauce that brought the layers of the dish together.

“Gyro” in Greek means ‘going around’, which essentially stands for the way that the dish is cooked. The Pita Gyros ($27.50) comes with thin and crispy melt-in-your-mouth pork belly shaves, sweet onion, and creamy tzatziki wrapped in pita bread. The whole combination worked well together and was gratifying to bite into.

SolePomodoro Trattoria Pizzeria

SolePomodoro Trattoria Pizzeria, specialises in pizzas and pastas. They bake their pizzas in a traditional wood-fired oven!

We tried the Crudo E Rucola ($25) which comes with tomato sauce, mozzarella, Parma ham and rocket salad. They were really generous with the portion of Parma ham and arugula.

The Spaghetti Al Frutti de Mare ($24) contains a wide variety of seafood and might just tickle the fancy of seafood lovers.

Museo

Museo has a unique dine-in-a-cup concept, where food is served in glass cups. We were served a complimentary appetizer of fried popiah skin, which was surprisingly tasty! While waiting for your food to arrive, unleash the inner child in you and get creative by doodling on the placemats with the markers provided.

The Smoked Roast Pork Belly ($12) was served with hot sauce and German mustard and is one of the most highly recommended dishes here.

Fried to perfection without being too oily, the Soft Shell Chilli Crab ($14) with sweet and savoury Tomato-Chilli Sauce was a winner. We couldn’t stop mopping up the ‘chilli crab’ sauce with the soft shell crab!

How does capellini tossed with tobiko, truffle shavings, chives and Shio Konbu sound? The Cold Pasta ($11) has a strong truffle aroma that hit us before the dish even arrived at our table. Remember to toss the mixture well to distribute the flavours evenly!

Lastly, we had the Grilled NZ Lamb Rack ($16) served with Pineapple Salsa. I am not a fan of lamb as it usually is too gamey for me. However, the well-executed lamb at Museo surprised me with its tenderness and absence of that distinct gaminess.

Joe & the Juice

Founded in Denmark in 2002, Joe & The Juice has 3 outlets in Singapore, and 2 in Hong Kong. They focus on both nutrition and entertainment. Think nutritious juices, paired with a personalised touch by the baristas.

We tried the Sports Juice ($7.20 for 12oz/$9.20 for 16oz), which is one of their most popular juices, especially with gym-goers. It is an after-workout drink consisting of pineapples, passion fruit and apple.

As pineapple and passionfruit aid in protein absorption, we recommend that you grab a cup together with the protein-rich Tunacado ($11.50) sandwich. Made with rye-grain bread, the Tunacado comes with tuna, avocado and slices of tomato. Simple, but delicious.

Another popular juice is the Pick Me Up ($7.20 for 12oz/$9.20 for 16oz), a blend of raspberry, banana and apple, which contains 16 different types of vitamins. I was really sleepy after lunch and Ginger Shot ($3 for 2 oz) is a surefire way to wake up the senses! When juiced with sweet apples, it increases the nutritional content while adding a pleasantly spicy taste.

Miska Cafe

5-year-old Miska serves up Mediterranean food and its name means ‘gift from the God’. It is a simple restaurant with a surprisingly extensive menu.

The Doner Chicken ($21) is one of their signature gourmet wraps. It is a harmony of grilled chicken slices, romaine lettuce, onion, tomato, tzatziki sauce and spicy sauce (optional).

The Seafood Grill ($44) is a tantalising outfit of marinated and grilled salmon, fish fillet, squid, king prawns and 2 sides. The salmon was grilled to a crisp finish and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Look forward to Miska’s new menu, which will include Chef’s Specials such as a 15-inch pizza with classic toppings like pepperoni, Hawaiian, vegetarian and BBQ chicken. The pizza had a crisp crust and doughy insides. Our favourite was the BBQ chicken with succulent chicken slices and juicy button mushrooms.

Two Chefs Bar

Mexican and Italian flavours came together to form the foundation of Two Chefs Bar. While you indulge in the unique combination of hearty Mexican and Italian cuisine here, be sure to check out their impressive bar menu and don’t forget to grab a craft beer, or two.

The popular Chicken Fajitas served with guacamole, red salsa, shredded cheese and warm flour tortillas ($25) stood out especially. I liked that they let us wrap the sizzling chicken slices ourselves, as we could control the amount of guacamole and red salsa to add to our tortillas. Also, the chicken slices were kept warm throughout our meal!

The Classic Crab Pasta ($26) is one of their signature pastas. It sees linguine cooked in a sweet and spicy tomato vodka sauce with chunky crab meat.

Corleone Pizza ($26) features a crispy thin crust pizza topped with tomatoes, mozzarella, parma ham, rocket salad and parmesan cheese. Their dough is handmade fresh everyday without compromise.

Sabio by the Sea, Tapas Bar & Grill

Sabio By The Sea, Tapas Bar & Grill focuses on Spanish tapas, seafood and grilled meats. Their Paella de Pescado ($29/$49) comes loaded with calamari, sea bass, clams, mussels and shrimps. The best part was the slow-cooked Spanish short-grained rice which was moist but firm.

Gambas Pil Pil is one of the most popular tapas at Sabio. It consists of prawns served in a sizzling mix of chilli, olive oil and garlic. I believe that you will fall in love with the crunchy prawns, like I did!

The Chorizo Salad is yet another item that you should not miss out on.The combination of sundried tomatoes with chorizo is a match made in heaven. The flavours is balanced with crisp croutons and soft egg.

Both the Gambas Pil Pil and Chorizo Salad are also available on the a la carte menu at $19 and $18 respectively, in addition to being part of Sabio’s Hangover Brunch ($59.90++ per pax) served every weekend from 11.30am-3.30pm. Other items include Grilled Tuna Steak and Deep Fried Oysters.

Gin Khao Bistro

Did you know that watermelon fried rice is an authentic Thai dish found commonly at roadside stalls? Frankly, warm watermelon sounds rather strange. However, the watermelon balls add a sweetness that might just dazzle you.

Brought in by Gin Khao in 2015, the Khao Phat Dtaeng Moe ($14.80/$25.80) is the most famous dish here. Served in a carved watermelon bowl, the fried rice comprises chicken floss, cashew nuts, fried beancurd strips and fresh seafood. The fried rice had plenty of wok hei, and we would be lying if we said we didn’t enjoy it.

We also gave the Kang Ob Woon Sen ($20.80) a go. The glass noodles soaked up the Thai garlic and pepper sauce really well and the juicy crayfish was adequately flavourful. I liked that they used authentic Thai garlic, which is smaller and stronger compared to the local version.

The Deep Fried Sea Bass with Thai Sauce ($23.80) was crispy on the outside yet soft and flaky on the inside. Perfect as an appetiser for a hungry family!

Earl of Hindh

Located on the 2nd level, Earl of Hindh is an Indian fine dining restaurant serving quality North Indian cuisine. It sports a colonial look, and even the flooring rocks a traditional pattern.

We tried the Shahi Lamb Chop ($43) which is marinated with a special potli masala and malt vinegar. At $43 for 4 pieces, the meat is grilled just right with lovely pink centres and a nice roasted glaze on the exterior. I will also recommend the Malai Chicken Kebab ($29).

Their signature item, the Earl of Signature Rampuri Paratha ($8), is an exotic multi-layered bread stuffed with red chilli flakes and baked in Tandoor, a clay-type oven used in Northern India. If you like cheese, go for the Olive Chilly Cheese Bread ($10) which is thicker and chewier.

Butter Chicken ($35) is a must-order at Indian restaurants. The one here is no exception. Chicken Tikka is tossed in tomato, butter, cream and cashew gravy, and served with ginger juliennes and a swirl of cream. I liked that it wasn’t too thick or heavy.

The practice of fasting during Ramadan means that Muslims may not eat or drink anything, including water, while the sun is shining. Besides indulging in the usual nasi padang, or mee soto, after you break fast, here are 7 interesting international Halal cuisines you can consider trying with your friends and family.

Muk-Bang Korean Restaurant

You can expect an array of Halal Korean dishes such as Budae Jjigae ($36) and Haemul Pajeon ($16) here. The former boasts a fiery spicy army stew which contains chicken, chicken ham, chicken sausage, Korean rice cakes, baked beans, an assortment of mushrooms, tofu, kimchi, ramen, and a slice of cheese. The latter is a seafood pancake with fresh prawns and squids. The batter is not too dense, and the pancake has a nice bite to it.

Hararu Izakaya

Hararu’s lunch menu offers diners a variety of 4 different donburi sets. When night falls, Hararu changes into a Japanese bar and their dinner menu showcases Japanese skewers and other ala carte items. The Unagi Don ($13) features grilled eel with Teriyaki sauce, tamago, pickles and rice. The eel is grilled just right and the meat is tender, boasting a rich and sweet flavour. The Salmon Teriyaki Don ($12) contains grilled salmon with Teriyaki sauce, tamago, pickles and rice. The silky salmon skin with slightly charred edges is very enjoyable.

The Dim Sum Place

You will find Halal Cantonese-style cuisine infused with local flavours here. The Vermicelli Roll with Lamb Rendang ($8.90) is unique, and the thick gravy intensely flavoured. We also like the Pan Fried Taro Cake ($2.90 / 3 pieces), Pan Fried Carrot Cake ($2.90 / 3 pieces), as well as the Traditional Egg Tarts ($3.90 / 3 pieces). They look so dainty in an oriental-looking “basket”. The slightly flaky pastry encased a sunny yellow egg custard which tasted as good as it looks.

Pho 4 U

This Halal Vietnamese eatery serves a variety of pho, and other Vietnamese dishes. Pho 4A ($10) is a beef noodle soup with half-cooked steak, well-done brisket, flank and meatballs. Add some fresh greens in for a nice textural crunch in every bite. They are quite generous with the serving of beef, but we thought the broth could have been more robust and flavourful.

The Ramen Stall

You’ll be spoilt for choice dining at The Ramen Stall. We went for their signature Volcano Ramen ($11) which allows diners to choose their desired level of spiciness – 1 being the least spicy and 3 being the most. We had level 2, which we would only recommend for chilli lovers. Each mouthful caused an eruption of fiery flavours. Unfortunately, the natural flavours of the original chicken broth were masked by the chilli. We would have liked the broth more if it had a better balance of spiciness and its original flavour.

Koh Nangkam

Koh Nangkam is an island located in the Southern part of Thailand. The majority of settlers there are Muslims. Owner Madam Chamchiyah Hodsub was brought up in Koh Nangkam, and she has brought over her own family recipes, and other popular Thai dishes to her restaurant located near Bugis. The Tom Yum Soup ($8/$13/$16) comes with fresh prawns, squids, and sweet, juicy tomatoes. It wasn’t as spicy nor as tangy as we expected. Perhaps, we should’ve tried other dishes.

Afterwit

Afterwit was inspired by an afterthought of pairing Mexican-influenced fare with an indie café experience. The interior is decorated with a vibrant Mexican flair(think bold colours and rustic furnishings). It’s a great after-work hangout, especially for those with a penchant for spicy flavours. From quesadillas to tortilla pizzas, to tacos, to burritos, there is definitely something for everyone. On weekdays, you can look forward to their Locos Lunch that’s available from 12pm to 3pm.

We hope you’ll enjoy the food at the places that we’ve shared with you.

The post 7 Interesting International Halal Cuisine (Which is your favourite?) appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

Makis are often overlooked in favour of sashimi, tempura, or even the more common sort of nigiri sushi. The word Maki comes from the word ‘maku’, which means to roll or wrap ingredients, usually in seaweed (nori). Choose from this list of 7 Makis when you’re craving something more unique than California Makis!

Senmi Sushi

First up on the list is Dynamite Maki ($16.80) from Senmi Sushi, a store inside Emporium Shokuhin at Marina Square. The Dynamite Maki contains torched wagyu beef, ebi tempura, and avocado, drizzled with Senmi’s secret sweet and smoky sauce.

I like that the flakes on top did not get soggy and provided a nice crunch. The thinly sliced and torched wagyu beef had melted cheese on top, which went well with the beef. The beef was cooked well without being too tough. Inside the maki, the avocado is wrapped around the ebi tempura.

Japanese Curry Express

“Maki only after 12.30pm!” And our faces fell. Note that even though this small eatery in Fortune Centre opens at 11.30am, their makis are only available after 12.30pm, as they are preparing the rice. Well known for their affordable Salmon Mentai Bowl ($10), they have other affordable options as well. We tried their Mango Ebi Maki ($10), which had thick slices of mango laid upon a maki with fried ebi inside. 

The mango was sweet enough to give the maki a refreshing taste, but it doesn’t overpower or distort the taste of the fried ebi. I especially loved the rice, which is extra sticky and seasoned well. Scoops of tobiko sit on top of the mango slices, and mayo is drizzled over the entire masterpiece. Definitely one of my favourites on this list!

P.S. Do say hi to the friendly sushi chef!

Kinsa Sushi

We tried the popular Salmon Mentai Maki ($16.80), which has crabmeat and cucumber topped with aburi salmon mentai, and ikura. 

The coolest part of this maki is not that it has a Healthier Choice symbol, or that it is delivered to you by a robot called Techi, but that it has PURPLE rice!

Purple rice has loads of health benefits. It is a source of iron, which helps the body to metabolise proteins and prevent anaemia.

Though it is a healthier choice, taste is definitely not compromised. I enjoyed the extra bite that the purple rice provided, and they were generous with the crabmeat and cucumber.

Koh Sushi Grill and Bar

This is one of the hottest makis in Singapore. There are 2 ‘generations’ of the Shiok Maki – the original with unagi and avocado and the ‘2nd generation’ with fried ebi and wakame. Everyone gets to order their favourites here. We tried the original ($16.80), which had firm yet tender slices of unagi and avocado nestled together within the rice rolls. The lightly seared salmon pieces were placed on top, along with a generous portion of tobiko for extra crunch.

To complete the whole package, the entire maki is drenched with their special sauce that tastes like a cross between mentaiko and mayo. Doesn’t sound particularly appetising, but the sauce is REALLY shiok. It is creamy and savoury-sweet, the perfect accompaniment to the maki.

By the way, each maki roll is made to order here. We could take apart the warm individual rice grains easily. It’s definitely not the cold, pre-made Japanese sushi rolls. Shiok!

Makisan

The Maki Lemak is a Ramadan Special by Maki-San, a go-to maki for students and working adults alike. A thin egg wrap holds Japanese white rice, boiled egg, shredded cucumber, roasted peanuts, anchovies, tempura otak, and roasted dessicated coconut. The Shiok Sambal, Makisan’s special sauce of the month, brings the ingredients together.

Although it does not exactly remind us of Nasi Lemak, fans of rojak will appreciate the thick and nutty sauce.

The individual ingredients and the Maki Lemak will be available till 31st July 2017.

Tanuki Raw

Perhaps you’d want to give their makis a try the next time you’re at Tanuki Raw! Unlike the other makis which come in 6-8 pieces, Tanuki Raw’s Golden Kani Maki ($18.90) comes in 4 huge pieces. Each piece features deep-fried house-seasoned soft shell crab, fresh snow crab, cucumber and crispy mozzarella. It is then garnished with toasted seaweed and doused with golden salted duck egg hollandaise sauce.

I thought that the portion of crab was great, and the soft shell crab was crispy but not greasy. The rice could use some work though. 

Standing Sushi Bar

After hearing my friends rave about this place, I decided to try one of their signature makis, Under The Sea ($18.90). Think torched scallop with mentaiko sauce on crab stick, avocado and cucumber.

The scallop is lightly seared, and the rice coated evenly with tobiko. Mayo was included to prevent the insides from getting too dry, but I felt that it was not needed because the mentaiko sauce was sufficiently creamy..

They have 50% off all signature rolls on Wednesdays, which means getting a cheap fix of maki rolls! The Rockstar Roll ($16.90) which has a fried mozzarella cheese centre with torched salmon and mentaiko sauce is something I would consider returning for.

*Other branches : Raffles Place and Singapore Art Museum (with different opening hours)

Our favourite Maki was the Dynamite Maki from Senmi Sushi! Its a good alternative for our friends who prefer meat over seafood. However, if you’re looking for a maki with no frills, Japanese Curry Express would be your best bet with their affordable yet scrumptious makis.

The post 7 Awesome Places to get Unique Maki (that isn’t California Maki!) appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

For as long as I can remember, Simpang Bedok has been a food haven for supper-goers staying in the east. I grew up in the east so Simpang Bedok is not unfamiliar territory but instead something close to my heart. Besides the abundance of mouth-watering food, Simpang bedok also offers Karaoke, a small shopping mall (East village) and numerous cafes for you to kickback and chill after work. Included in the list are some of my personal favorites that I usually hit up when I want to unwind or to just hang out with friends.

Sarah’s the pancake cafe

Nestled in East Village, Sarah’s The Pancake Café offers affordable and interesting pancake creations. For something savory, try their Wild Mushrooms ($12) that comes with wild mushroom ragout and veggies on pancakes or the Benedict ($15) that features smoked salmon slices, poached eggs and pancakes all covered in homemade hollandaise sauce. If you’re looking for something to sweeten your day, the Ala Dol ($12) will definitely make your day! It consists of red bean paste-filled crepes dressed with pandan chendol, corn, attap seeds and gula Melaka sauce!

Ambeng Cafe

Just in the vicinity of Sarah’s is Ambeng Café. As the name suggests, they specialize in Nasi Ambeng. We were especially impressed with their rendang and the sambal chilli. We tried the Classic Trio Set D ($48) which is good for 3 or 4 people. It comes with 10 side dishes – ayam kalio, beef rendang, sambal sotong, ikan sambal bali, urap kencur, terung garem asam, sambal goreng, sambal kachang ikan bilis, begedel, telur belado, paru, ikan kering, serunding and sambal belachan. If you’re planning to dine in, remember to make reservations before heading down to avoid disappointment.

Spize

Many supper-goers would be familiar with Spize which is well known for their extensive menu of Asian and Mediterranean delights. They are open all the way till 4am to ensure that you’ll have a warm satisfied tummy before you go to bed. Unlike any of the other places featured in this list, Spize offers a delivery service ($5-$16) depending on distance so you can enjoy your supper in your bed. We tried their Chicken Pesto Linguine ($14.50) and was a tad disappointed. The pasta was well cooked and the servings generous but we felt that the dish lacked the aroma and flavor you’d expect from the pesto sauce. Overall, the dish was a little bland and we would have preferred it to be slightly less oily. However, we’ll definitely go back to try the more popular choices which include their Penang Char Kway Teow($6.90) and Sriracha and Honey glazed chicken wings ($9.50)!

Fish Tales

Tucked behind the bus stop opposite the Simpang post office is a cozy restaurant that serves up some affordable C-food(comfort food) in a comfortable air-conditioned setting. Fish Tales is famous for their Beaurre Au Citron Fish and chips($9.90) and the Cheesy Affair fish and chips($10.90) amongst many other interesting items on their menu. We ordered their Tom Yum Seafood ($12.90) and polished the plate clean! It comes with 2 medium-sized mussels, sotong, prawns and small bits of fish drenched in a rich creamy seafood tom yum sauce. Unlike traditional tom yum soups where the sourness is prevalent, their tom yum sauce leaves only a mild sour aftertaste. The sauce complements the fresh assortment of seafood with a fiery punch. The spice takes a bit of time to set in but when it does, its pretty legit. Fret not, because they offer free flow water to extinguish the flames. Phew! Even though they don’t open for supper, we’ll definitely be back for dinner in the future.

Mahmoodiya restaurant

Perpetually crowded through the night, Mahmoodiya restaurant is a popular hangout place for many. They serve hearty Indian dishes like butter chicken, tandoori chicken, biryani and, of course, prata. I’m a regular patron of this restaurant. I go there for my prata fix every week. For just a buck, you get a thick piece of plain prata with 2 different curries. What I like is the crispy crust and the buttery soft center. If you observe carefully, you’ll also realize that the prata is devoid of any burnt parts! Since they’re open 24 hours, you have the luxury to get your prata fix at any time of any day.

The Burning Oak

If you’re in the mood for Japanese, The Burning Oak is the way to go. They have excellent value-for-money choices like the Waygu Beef Rump Cap Don ($13) which is sure to satisfy your tummy without breaking the bank. We also liked the Wagyu Rump & Iberico Pork Combo Bento ($15) which features tender and juicy slices of meat that really hit the spot. If you’re just looking for a snack to round up your scrumptious dinner, get the Angus Beef Short Ribs Skewers for only $6 per stick.

Tang Tea House Hong Kong Café

It is now common for restaurants to open past midnight due to the budding supper scene here in Singapore. Tang Tea House Hong Kong Café is a Halal-certified restaurant that opens till 2am. They offer more than 200 different items on their menu. Crowd favourites include local delights such as Assam Curry fish head and Char Kway teow. We ordered their signature pan fried crispy bee hoon ($11) and were not disappointed. Fresh lime and chili were served on the side of a satisfyingly rounded omelette filled with sotong, prawns, fish cakes and bee hoon. The crust was light, yet crispy, and it complemented the soft moist bee hoon. Remember to add in the lime and chili for that extra oomph. This is a must try!

Soon Huat Bak Kut Teh

Manned and run by a team of ex-convicts, Soon Huat Bak Kut Teh offers an amazing rendition of the popular Bak kut teh dish. The dry and soup versions are both top-notch in their respective fields. We liked the dry bak kut teh ($6.90) because of the dried cuttlefish which lent a nice crunch and rich flavour. If you’re less adventurous and prefer the soup version ($5.90 for 1 pax, $11.90 for 2-3 pax, $22.90 for 4-5 pax), you won’t be disappointed too. Albeit comparatively milder, the broth offers a rich full-bodied flavor with a hint of sweetness. We liked that the pork was tender and firm. We all need second chances in life, but this bak kut teh won’t need one. 

Badoque Café

Featuring an international menu consisting of Asian, fusion, Mediterranean and even middle eastern cuisines, Badoque is bound to excite your taste buds. Amusingly, Badoque which sounds like Bedok, is in fact a Malay slang for eat. Generous with their portion, this café is well known amongst the Malay community because of the quaint ambience and tasty food. The Badoque ribs ($36), which is their bestseller, comes with a succulent rib lavishly drizzled with a savory brown sauce. We also recommend the Greek salad, seafood pasta, lamb shanks and especially the potato wrapped prawns.

D’zerts Café

Although it’s not in the immediate vicinity of Simpang Bedok, D’zerts café is just about a 5-minute walk away. Opened in 2013 by an ex-navy chef, Lemuel runs this quaint and secluded café that specializes in handmade desserts. They do serve other mains like pasta, juices and coffee too. Their desserts cater to different palates, not just the sweet-toothed café-goers. I was informed that they change up their dessert selection every couple of months to keep things fresh. We decided to get their lemon tart which is an outfit of lemon mousse, lemon curd, almond cream and a roasted marshmallow! As the name suggests, it was really sour. The lemon curd was mildly sweet but was easily overpowered by the tangy bright yellow sprinkle on it. The light lemon curd complemented the crumbly tart really well and helped to balance out the sourness. Overall, I loved the refreshing dessert and I strongly recommend that you visit them for a sweet or sour fix.

For east-siders like myself, Simpang Bedok is irrefutably the quintessential supper place to satisfy your wee-hour cravings. I hope that this food guide will come in handy if you’re new to Simpang.

The post Excite your tastebuds with these 10 hangout spots in Simpang Bedok appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

Stretched along the iconic Singapore river is the popular night spot, Clarke Quay. Beyond the night clubs, rooftop bars, and live music lies a great deal of hidden gastronomic delights. If you’re looking to nosh to your heart’s content or are on the lookout for nibbles to pair with your drinks, here are 9 dining joints to visit this June.

VLV Singapore

VLV Singapore is housed in a heritage building along the Singapore riverfront. Within the century-old structure is a contemporary setting with colours of red, orange and gold that are reminiscent of the oriental era. Modern Chinese cuisine awaits and you have to go for their Dim Sum Extravaganza.

Be intrigued by the Fish, Celery & Mushrooms Dumpling ($6.80 for 3pc), which is wrapped with a black dumpling skin naturally coloured with squid ink. The fish filling is soft and fresh with the celery and mushroom adding a crunch. The Lobster Dumpling ($9.80 for 3pc) comes in a beautiful green and orange skin which is made from natural food colouring as well. Encased within the delicate and soft skin is a lobster filling which is slightly sweet and succulent. There is also chopped chestnut in the filling. Locals can opt for the familiar Singapore Chilli Crab Bun ($6.80 for 3pc) which holds shredded crab meat in s sweet and tangy sauce.

Dim sum lovers must not miss the Crispy Seafood Rice Roll ($8.80) – a seafood fritter wrapped in a rice noodle roll in XO sauce. VLV Singapore also puts a modern spin on the classic siew mai with the Crab Roe Kurobuta ‘Siew Mai’ ($5.80 for 4pc), which has a fragrant and light pork filling. Every Sunday, VLV dishes out a 4-hour long champagne dim sum brunch buffet which is perfect for families. Don’t miss it!

Catch Beer & Batter

Catch Beer & Batter is a cosy fish and chip joint that offers a variety of fish and seafood served in an assortment of batters. I particularly enjoyed basking in the cosy ambience. Patrons can also chill out with a beer, or two, in their alfresco dining area.

Get ready to dive into their newly launched Fusion Platter, which is an enormous seafood sharing platter ($38++). The platter is replete with oceanic delights such as crisp fried halibut, succulent king prawns coated in a tantalizing sambal sauce, fresh clams, fried calamari, juicy chicken sausages, cut potatoes, tomatoes and sweet corn on the cob. Catch! is certainly the place to go if you’re looking for awesome food and a great ambience.

Tang Music Box

Forget about your usual karaoke spots. Tang Music Box is definitely your next go-to place to sing along to the latest hits or croon to timeless classics. I was very drawn to the pantry concept at the entrance which sells a myriad of imported snacks, candies, as well as big bags of potato chips. The visual gratification continues when you are led into one of their karaoke rooms which features stunning wall murals depicting the streets of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Tokyo.

Fancy some light bites to go along with your karaoke session? Tang Music Box serves Golden Fish & Chips ($17.90) which features a portion of fried fish coated in a delicious batter, fries, chilli sauce and mayonnaise. For a kid-friendly option, families can opt for the 2 Piece Chicken Sliders with Chips ($17.90) which is equally palatable. Tang Music Box also welcomes you to celebrate your private parties, functions or corporate events with their new party packages. Remember to look out for their daily promotions!

Da Miao Hotpot

Da Miao Hotpot offers an authentic Chengdu hotpot experience which guarantees a treat for all of your senses. Begin with a Damiao Traditional Yuan Yang Soup Pot ($20.00++), which comes in a metal base filled with 2 strongly-flavoured soup bases – Special Spicy Soup and Fresh Mushroom & Pig Bone Yuan Yang Soup Pot. Besides the usual hotpot ingredients, such as Enoki mushrooms, freshly-minced meat paste (from $18++) etc, Da Miao’s menu offers premium ingredients like Australian Prime Beef ($32.00++) and my favourite Fresh Shrimp Paste ($18.00++).

Venture into some of Chengdu’s exotic foods, including the crunchy Swine Trachea ($16.00++), and succulent Boston Butt ($13.00++) – a playful term for pork neck. You have got to dip all their ingredients into their flavourful condiments, especially the sesame oil which is presented in a curious little red can.

Interestingly, their sesame sauce is the only condiment stored in individual can packaging because it is most at risk of unhygienic food handling due to it being the most popular condiment. Whilst relishing in the sumptuous hotpot feast, you can also enjoy traditional Chengdu performances on a glamourous stage.

The Pump Room

The Pump Room, a bistro that incorporates elements of a microbrewery, bistro and bar promises a memorable drinking, dining and partying experience. I was excited to hear about their new menu which will be launched some time in the month of June. Fret not, crowd favourites will be retained in the new menu.

For a heartier option, go for the Australian Tomahawk Beef ($98 for 800 to 900 grams) that comes with thick cut French fries, salad and a choice of Red Wine Sauce, Tasmanian Bush Pepper Sauce or Diane Sauce. The beef is seasoned well with smoked sea salt and freshly crushed pepper. If you like something to go along with their craft beers on tap, I will recommend the Crispy Pork Knuckle ($38.00) that is paired with a bowl of sauerkraut and beer sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by The Pump Room’s selection of dessert. The moist Sticky Date Pudding ($12.00) drenched in caramel sauce is a must try!

Quayside Seafood

Quayside Seafood is a riverfront restaurant serving up a variety of Singapore’s unofficial national seafood dishes. Enjoy the cool river breeze under the stars in their spacious alfresco area.

You have to get the Sri Lankan crabs in the signature Popular Chilli Sauce or Black Pepper Sauce ($7.50++ per 100g). Digging into a mantou dipped in tangy chili crab gravy hit all the right spots for me. Another seafood contender is the highly acclaimed Indonesian Style Prawns in Claypot ($11.50++ per 100g). The light and aromatic broth possesses a hint of sweetness from the fresh and succulent prawns.

Another must-try is the Quayside Seafood’s Signature Fried Calamari with Fragrant Salt & Pepper ($30++ for small, $40++ for regular, $55++ for large). This appetizer has a super crispy batter that’s fried to a golden hue. If the weather gets too warm, grab a serving of refreshing coconut juice ($12++) to beat the heat.

Beer Xchange

With a host of entertainment options such as darts, pool and live band performances, Beer Xchange is exceptionally popular. For a bar, their standard of food is outstanding. I was impressed with their rendition of Truffle Mushroom Cream Pasta ($21++). The pasta was al-dente, with a strong truffle aftertaste that lingers in every bite.

I found myself pretty satiated after the Xchange Burger ($24++), which is a massive assembly of beef and pork patty, caramelized onions, tomatoes, cheese and mushrooms. Enliven your dining experience with the Teriyaki Beef Pizza ($24++), made from Australian Wagyu Beef, or the novel Nan-ru Pork Belly Strips ($15++), which sees pork belly deep fried in fermented bean curd. Complete your meal with the sweet Chocolate Lava ($14++) which is served with biscuit crumbs, a scoop of Movenpick vanilla ice cream, and fresh strawberries.

Shiraz

Shiraz is renowned for delivering a truly authentic Persian experience with added buzz. Shiraz has been offering a heady mix of delectable Persian cuisine since 2007. The Shandiz ($47++) is a Mashhady-style charbroiled lamb chops.

What really stood out, for me, was the Morasah Polo with Chicken ($38++), which sees a tender juicy chicken baked with saffron rice and an assortment of nuts and dried fruits. You will not leave Shiraz hungry because most of the mains come with a generous portion of fluffy basmati rice spiced with saffron.

If you stay past 8pm, you will be treated to an elegant belly dance that is best enjoyed while you sip on their Shiraz Special Cocktail ($17++).

Red Tail Bar by Zouk

Red Tail Bar by Zouk is the newest pre-game restaurant and bar concept recently launched by Zouk Singapore to complement their signature dance stages – Zouk, Capital and Phuture. You will be dazzled by red neon signs and a sexy and chic interior decked out in bold colors of red and black as you walk into the bar.

Red Tail Bar by Zouk also boast a pong table, a shots roulette chest and many more drinking games, intended for an all-round package of fun, after work hangout and pre-drink sessions to kick off the party nights. Kickstart the night with a combination of gingerly crafted cocktails inspired by iconic nightlife destinations. Float Like A Butterfly ($17++) is a combination of gin, cinnamon, lemon and artisanal tonic that was conferred an award as Asia’s Best Gin & Tonic at the East Imperial Gin Jubilee 2016. For a stronger flavour profile, opt for the Cold Brew Lover ($18++) which is a concoction of dark rum, orange bitters, honey water and homemade cold brew coffee. What is interesting about the Cold Brew Lover is that a polaroid film of you and your friends will be taken by the staff and attached to your drink.

Prepare for a full night of non-stop hits and dancing with Zouk’s Signature Sausage Mash ($10++) – a mix of fluffy garlic mash, housemade mushroom sauce and a chicken and cheese sausage. Red Tail Bar’s desire to impress is clear from its tipples right down to its nibbles. Be part of ‘The Drama Before The Party’ with a thumping playlist curated by Zouk’s resident DJs playing in the background. Here’s your cue to get the party started!

Since their launch 20 months ago, 99 Bistro and Kitchen has dedicated themselves to serving authentic and delectable Indian cuisine. Head chef Syed Shah has revolutionised the biryani dish by introducing bamboo biryani on 19 April 2017. After graduating from SHATEC in 2004, head chef Syed Shah amassed a wealth of experience from working in different hotels like Marina Mandarin and Mandarin Oriental. He also further honed his skills during his stint at The Landmark Restaurant. Now, he doubles as a head chef of 99 Bistro and Kitchen and a celebrity chef who teaches young aspiring chefs.

I ordered the famed Bamboo Biryani set ($24) which comes with a cup of hot honey lemon ginger drink and a cup of iced blueberry soda. The set is good for 2 people and for good reason. The generous 450-gram lamb shank is served atop a mountain of basmati rice, and flanked by 3 different sauces. The bamboo lamb biryani consists of fresh Australian lamb shank, Pakistani Karachi spices, Indian basmati rice and a hard-boiled egg, all cooked together in a south Indian bamboo trunk.

The dish is served in a bamboo trunk wrapped in banana leaves. This serving method locks the flavor of the spices into the meat and rice. Before knocking the lamb biryani out of the bamboo trunk onto a plate, a staff will offer to explain the preparation of the dish. I appreciated the effort taken by the staff to explain the dish.

Lamb is an acquired taste for many because of the gamey taste that it often possesses. As a beef lover, I must admit that lamb is not one of my favorite go-to meats. The lamb is first braised for 2 hours before it is cooked with basmati rice and spices in the bamboo trunk for 30 minutes. Much to my surprise, the lamb did not taste “gamey” and was luxuriously tender and flavorful. I also liked that the lamb shank was quite fatty and adds some texture to the dish. Owing to head chef’s Syed Shah’s connections as a butcher previously, the lamb shanks are directly import from Australia.

When asked about the difference between regular biryani and the bamboo biryani, head chef Syed Shah jokingly discloses that he chose to use Pakistani Karachi spices because of its milder flavor in comparison to regular Indian spices used at other Biryani stalls. The spice was not overwhelming but instead contributes an aromatic fragrance and rich flavor to the dish. Albeit a little spicy, the spices help to bring the lamb and rice together.

The rice was fragrant and was embedded with roasted cashew nuts and cherry tomatoes. The cashews and cherry tomatoes were, however, scarce and it would have been nice if they had been more generous with them. Nevertheless, the perfectly cooked basmati rice more than made up for it!

If you’re a biryani fan, you might realize that the bamboo biryani is served without any curry. In traditional biryani dishes, the curry helps to marry the masala together with the rice and the meat. The bamboo, however, replaces the need for curry in this dish.

Head chef Syed Shah also recommends completing the meal with a cup of the hot ginger drink which will only be served once you finish your meal. Made from ginger, honey and hot water, the drink is supposed to aid digestion since the biryani is heavy on the stomach. I liked how the honey ginger drink wasn’t spicy and it helped to take some of the heat from the spice away. Personally, I find the drink very soothing and thoroughly loved it.

To sum it up, the bamboo biryani was simply shiok and the personalized dining experience was a real game changer for me. I was thoroughly satisfied and will definitely be back. If your loved ones aren’t free to dine with you, I’ll be more than happy to oblige.

The post 99 Bistro and Kitchen – NEW bamboo biryani in Singapore! appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

We’ve wanted to try Chindamani Indian Restaurant’s prata ever since we came across rave reviews of their crispy prata. We were told that the queue on weekend mornings could get quite crazy, so we decided to have our breakfast here on a weekday morning. There was still a queue when we arrived around 9am, but it was manageable as the servers were quick and efficient.

We ordered 4 kosong, 1 egg, 1 plaster, 1 egg and onion prata, and their signature chicken curry. The bill cost around $12. After trying the different variations of prata, we understood why customers queuing in front of us only ordered the kosong prata. It is the best among all.

The prata dough had been kneaded well before it was cooked to a beautiful golden brown. It is thinner than the usual prata you get elsewhere, and very crispy indeed. The only downside is the lack of a buttery aroma. Remember to dip the prata into the curry that is moderately thick and consistent. The tinge of sweetness you get from the curry cuts the level of spiciness, making it very palatable.

We recommend their chicken curry which comes with a generous portion of chicken thigh. The meat is well prepared, and fork-tender. It soaks up the curry nicely, and you get to enjoy a mix of spices in every mouthful.

My personal favourite is the plaster prata, as it consists of a fried egg with an enticing runny yolk. The plaster prata is a little more doughy and thicker in texture as compared to the crispy kosong prata. It is also not as greasy as the prata you get elsewhere.

We’re pretty sure that this stall has many loyal supporters, especially those who stay around Serangoon North. The prata is decent, but it might not be worth traveling from the far east or west for. Moreover, if you prefer doughy prata, this wouldn’t be your cup of tea.

A piping hot bao for breakfast, anyone? Just Dough is conveniently located at Suntec City, just beside the Fountain of Wealth. It’s the perfect spot for the working crowd to grab a quick bite before work, as they open at 7.30am in the morning! They make their own fillings, and you can find interesting flavours such as Durian and Pumpkin Salted Egg. The colourful buns are so pretty!

Owner, Vincent Koh, believes in using natural colouring from vegetables to dye the dough. The dough and fillings are made from scratch in-house. The staff then wrap a generous dollop of filling in the vibrantly coloured dough before steaming the buns. The texture of the buns here is slightly denser as compared to the traditional cantonese baos, but the buns are equally fluffy.

Just Dough has a range of flavours that cater to those with a sweet tooth, and those who prefer something more savoury. We tried a few of their most popular flavours.

Their best-seller is the Purple Sweet Potato ($1.90). Purple sweet potato mash is encased in a light green and black coloured bun, with a walnut on top. The quirky colours come from green tea powder and bamboo charcoal powder! We liked that the sweet potato mash was not overly sweet and tasted natural and light on our palates. This flavour is especially popular among the older generation and those who prefer something more traditional.

The Banana Chocolate ($1.90) is favoured as a dessert after meals. Rich chocolate filling is encased in a green and yellow bun. The decadent chocolate is slightly molten after being steamed, and is extremely satisfying when paired with the bun. Our bun only had one slice of banana and the staff told us that it is primarily a chocolate bun. This means that it is perfect for an afternoon snack or an after-meal dessert. It might be a tad too rich to have for breakfast unless you’re a chocoholic!

If you’re looking for a grab-and-go meal, the Curry Potato Chicken ($2.60) is the bun for you. Grouped under their ‘Big Bun’ category, it is larger in size as compared to the Banana Chocolate bun. It is filled with a generous portion of chicken, half a hard boiled egg, and mini potato cubes. The curry is creamy and rich. After being steamed, the fragrance of the curry that wafts out after you take a bite is captivating! Those looking for a healthier meal will be pleased, as there are no fats or skin on the chicken bits inside.

Just Dough has a cafe-restaurant style concept. They offer both takeaway options (steam it for 10 minutes before enjoying it) and dine-in options. If you’re having your buns on site, the friendly staff will prepare a freshly steamed bun for you. Do get their Chilli Crab Soup ($7.90) which is only available in store. It comes with a plain mantou, so be careful not to over order!

They frequently update and change their menu. Currently, their other flavours include Pumpkin Salted Egg, Coconut, Wolfberry, Yam, Durian, and Peanuts. They also have a new menu which includes items like Chicken Burger Set ($6.90) with sweet potato fries.

By the way, this is the complete list of the natural ingredients that Just Dough uses to get the unique colours for their buns.

Yellow: Carrot juice
Black: Bamboo charcoal powder
Green: Green tea powder
Red: Red yeast rice
Dotted black: Black sesame
White: Wholemeal,
Chocolate: Cocoa powder.

During other seasons, they might bring back tomato juice which is slightly pink, and chilli juice which is orange in colour.

This place might be called Just Dough, but it definitely has more than ‘just dough’ to give. Do drop by Just Dough for a healthy and delicious snack or meal.

The post Just Dough – Healthy Colourful Steamed Baos with Delicious Fillings appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

Mr Lor Bak only serves one dish, and they do it exceptionally well. This humble stall at a coffee shop in Ubi is helmed by Mr William Liou, who was previously the general manager of a restaurant group. He has a wealth of experience after having worked in the kitchen of Copthorne King and Swissotel The Stamford. He is also trained in culinary arts and has a diploma from Shatec.

Mr Liou wakes up at 7am to prepare his signature dish. He believes that the hawker trade is something that should not be allowed to die out, and has thus adapted a family recipe from his Grandmother.

The pork belly is left in a stock with around 20 types of herbs and spices including cinnamon, aromatic galangal, star anise and dried ginger for 3 hours, before being braised for 14 hours to ensure that the meat is seasoned evenly. The pork belly becomes nearly gel like and is extremely tender. The wobbly chunks of meat are then served atop a bowl of rice, before the entire mix is drizzled with more of that dark brown robust stock. As the pork belly is made in small batches, do be prepared to wait if they run out.

Each bowl ($3.50) comes with two halves of a braised egg and black fungus. Diners have the option to add preserved vegetables, tau pok or mushrooms at $0.50 per portion. The rice grains were distinguishable and well cooked and went excellently with the braised gravy. It is not too salty and makes for a comforting and heartwarming meal.

The pork belly was mouthwateringly tender and had a good ratio of meat to fat. The meat was stringy and came apart easily. One unique point of Mr Lor Bak is that they serve black fungus along with the dish. Mr Liou told us that the crunchy black fungus helps to reduce the ‘heaviness’ of the dish due to the contrast in texture that it provides. I would recommend adding on dry pickled chinese vegetables for $0.50. Cooked with orange peel and old garlic, it has a light and tangy taste that is refreshing.

Actually, scrap that. Order ALL of the add-ons. The braised mushrooms ($0.50) are succulent and tender. The tau pok ($0.50) is braised for 10 hours and has a spongy texture. As the tau pok soaks up the braised sauce easily, a single bite of it results in an explosion of gravy in your mouth. Shiok!

I would definitely bring my friends back to this stall in Ubi. I really admire Mr Liou for venturing out of his comfort zone and opening a hawker store. By the way, his career change was inspired by his frequent trips to Taiwan and his Nyonya heritage! At the moment, Mr Liou is experimenting with the chicken version of Lu Rou Fan. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to try it out.

The post Mr Lor Bak – Comforting Lu Rou Fan for a Happy Belly appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

Laksa, a bowl of noodles packed with a spicy punch, is commonly found in Singapore, and Malaysia. There are different variations though, and the key difference lies in its soup base, which contains either coconut milk, or fresh and sour assam. Last weekend, my friends and I decided to drive up to Malacca, and our goal was to suss out all the best nyonya laksa there. This type of laksa boasts a strongly-spiced coconut gravy which gives the dish a distinctive richness.

486 Baba Low

It was hard for us to locate 486 Baba Low as this rustic food stall is hidden beside a mosque, under the cover of trees. The menu is simple and straightforward, and written with chalk on black boards. We reached around 9.30am and it was already full house. Their signature Nyonya Laksa (5RM) consists of taupok, boiled egg, and fishballs. Infused with excessive coconut milk, the laksa is fragrant, with a mild level of spiciness. Add their special homemade sambal chilli that is made fresh daily for that extra kick!

Calanthe Art Cafe

Besides being famous for their offerings of coffee from 13 states of Malaysia, Calanthe Art Café is also frequently patronized for their laksa. Calanthe Laksa (12.80RM) features a delicious broth made from coconut milk, lemongrass, turmeric, dried prawn paste, shallots and other secret ingredients. What we enjoyed most was the crispy fried beancurd skin and mini fried fish balls that were served with the laksa. These ingredients are not commonly found in laksa served elsewhere, and gave the dish some texture. 

You can also go for something more unique such as the Claypot E-Mee Laksa (14.80RM). Thin fried noodles are served in laksa gravy, in a claypot. We preferred this version as the flavours were more outstanding and rich – so shiok!

Yung Lai Siang

At 5RM per bowl, the laksa here is served with a mixture of yellow noodles, meehoon, and some kuay teow. The hawker is very generous with the amount of toppings which include fried prawn crackers. This was certainly a first for us, and we were surprised that the crackers added a tasty crunch to the dish. The broth is not as thick and rich as those that we have tried elsewhere, but the flavour is just right. It’s light enough to be enjoyed more regularly.

Jonker 88

Although Jonker 88 is well known for their cendol, we thought that the Nyonya Assam Laksa (7RM) fares better. It tastes slightly similar to the sourish Penang Laksa with Assam broth, and is fiery spicy that we couldn’t finish our meal without breaking out in perspiration. If you prefer a heavier broth with a strong coconut milk fragrance, go for their Baba Laksa (6RM) which tastes similar to those that we have in Singapore. Want to have the best of both worlds? Well, the Baba Laksa Kahwin Nyonya Assam Laksa (7RM) is made for you! This broth is a combination of the soup bases from both the Baba and Nyonya Laksa.

Jeta Groves Nyonya Delights

We were very excited to try the nyonya laksa at Jeta Groves Nyonya Delights, as this stall is highly raved about by the locals. However, when we arrived around 11.30am on a Sunday morning, we were told that the laksa was sold out. We could only indulge in dessert. After one mouthful of their Durian Cendol, we decided that this stall is worth returning to. If their cendol is already so good, we believe that the standard of their laksa will live up to its reputation.

We also drove 45 minutes to Klebang area, and were so eager to try another recommended place for laksa – Nyonya Delight Homestyle Cooked Food. Unfortunately, they were sold out too. We learnt our lesson to go really early next time! If you’ve read about JOM Coffee, another café that serves laksa, do take note that they have removed this dish from their menu. Hope our list will help you in the planning of your trip to Malacca, and save you from making wasted trips, like we did. Enjoy!

The post Michelin Bib Gourmand Award 2017 – 38 Eateries Awarded! appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

Started by Uncle Ong, Zai Shun Curry Fish Head used to be located at one of the hawker stalls at Yuhua Food Village. They have been in the business for 37 years, and only shifted to the current coffeeshop(just a block away) 14 years ago. Uncle Ong learnt the recipes and cooking techniques from his brother. When asked how he felt about receiving the Michelin Bib Gourmand Award 2017, he humbly said, “I have to thank my loyal customers for their support all these years, or I wouldn’t have made it to where I am today”.

The order system is quite disorganised, and the place can get chaotic during lunch hour. We went ahead with the Curry Fish Head, priced according to the portion that’s ideal for the number of persons you dine with. We paid $26 for a 3-pax portion. 

Wild caught Red Snapper from the South China Sea is used at Zai Shun for the Curry Fish Head. The fish head boasts many different textures, and is much sweeter than the flesh. Uncle Ong isn’t stingy when it comes to the size of the fish head. Nowadays, the fish heads you get elsewhere are shrinking in size, but Zai Shun’s portion will not disappoint. 

The fish is so fresh, and there’s no fishy odour at all. The curry at Zai Shun is done Assam style. The light gravy is addictive, and it has an alluring tanginess.

The Braised Pig’s Trotter ($8) is another highlight for our lunch. The pork trotters are stewed for hours in a pot with Zai Shun’s secret ingredients. They are soft, tender, and actually quite sweet. We would have loved for the taste of vinegar to be stronger though. A delicious dish like this is best paired with a bowl of piping hot white rice. 

We also ordered a plate of Prawn Paste Chicken ($8) to share. Each golden-brown winglet is armed with a good crisp. The flesh within is quite tender, but we thought that the winglet could have been tastier. It would also have been better if the flavour of the prawn paste is more prominent.

Do note that they are closed from 27 June to 6 July 2017 for renovation.

The post Zai Shun Curry Fish Head (Michelin Bib Gourmand) – Popular Among West-siders appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

JW Marriott Singapore South Beach prides itself on being the next go-to food and beverage destination. The newly opened luxury hotel boasts a number of unique restaurant and bar concepts – including Beach Road Kitchen which is an epicurean all-day dining establishment that offers both a buffet and an a la carte menu.

While I consider the price of the buffet ($58++ for lunch, $78++ for dinner) to be considerably affordable, you can be assured that you will be greeted with nothing but first-class continental cuisine.

Replete with an exquisite selection of cuisines displayed along beautifully marbled walls and glass cabinets, Beach Road Kitchen rocks an elegant and romantic ambience with its high ceiling, warm lights and hues of brown, black and white.

The most noteworthy section of the restaurant is the cold Seafood Room. The man behind the menu, Executive Chef Stefano di Salvo, attempts to offer a curated seafood experience that borrows liberally from the Chef’s Italian roots and love for the cuisine.

Having watched chefs do their thing on television for so long has instilled in me a slight fascination with live cooking. If you’re like me, you might quickly become infatuated with Beach Road Kitchen’s chefs-on-show concept where chefs whip up a storm in an open kitchen. We will now bring you the top buffet highlights from JW Marriott’s Beach Road Kitchen.

1. Eat to your Heart’s Content at the Seafood Room

The Seafood Room is a custom-built, temperature-controlled space that features a remarkable selection of seafood antipasti, an array of smoked fish selections and fresh seafood options. Diners can look forward to Spanish mussels, French oysters, Maine lobsters and fresh crabs sourced from all around the world.

For starters, I had the Tuna Tataki, which is lightly seared and served with a citrus-based soy sauce. The texture of the tuna was buttery yet light, which made it the perfect appetizer to start the night with. The Canadian Lobsters were succulent and sweet, and I couldn’t help stuffing myself silly. Don’t forget to grab at least half a dozen of French Oysters that are freshly shucked on the spot. We promise that you won’t be disappointed.

2. Pick the Freshest Catch and Charcoal Grill

The interactive dining experience follows through to another highlight of this upscale restaurant – the Charcoal Grill. Choose from handsome cuts of meat, such as the Iberico Pork and L.A. Galbi short ribs, and other grill-to-order seafood items like prawns and squid. The Roasted Beef was done to a gorgeous medium rare, and had a slightly sinewy texture.

We were recommended the Sea Bass which was just one of the options apart from sole fish, trout, and more. I like that I was given the opportunity to pick my preferred fish. The chef first seasoned the fish on a separate tray and then grilled for a good 15 minutes. A food thermometer is used to ensure that the fish is cooked just long enough to retain its moisture. Indeed, the char on the Sea Bass was superb and the flesh soft and impeccable.

The King Prawns were also grilled to perfection, holding a crunch and firmness that will definitely catch your attention. The chefs at Beach Road Kitchen even acceded to our request of slathering the prawns with sambal chilli!

3. Design Your Bowl of Laksa at the Noodle Bar

The Noodle Bar serves up hearty bowls of Asian-style noodles with BRK’s signature homemade Seafood Laksa Broth. Infused with Asian spices and a touch of seafood, the Laksa broth had a rich texture with discernible sweet and spicy notes. Beach Road Kitchen injects an element of personalized experience by allowing us to select from an assortment of ingredients and noodle choices before having the chef prepare the Laksa right in front of our eyes.

4. Order a plate of Chicken Rice

To accommodate diners with a penchant for local cuisine, the Local Favourites section is where you can find familiar dishes such as the well-loved Signature Chicken Rice. Relish in the ginger fragrance that permeats the rice. The texture of the rice was really interesting, akin to sticky-rice, We believe that it might just tickle your palate! The chicken, which was tender and lightly seasoned with soy sauce left an impression too. Other local favourites, such as roasted pork and roasted duck, are available as well.

5. OMG, It’s TRUFFLE pizza!

Right smack in the middle of BRK is an eye-catching Pizza Oven – a section bringing out a rotation of freshly made pizzas and other baked dishes. The Signature Truffle Pizza is to die for. It is topped with a generous amount of truffle oil, mushrooms and stracchino cheese. Fresh out of the oven, the slightly crisp and chewy pizza is simply outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the slight garlicky aroma and the richness of the truffle oil and cheese combination.

6. For the salad lovers

Don’t forget to visit the Vertical Salad Bar and Charcuterie and Cheese display. The vertical salad bar offers the best selection of fresh greens, including full, plump tomatoes sourced from France. For the self-proclaimed turophile, the Charcuterie and Cheese display’s wide selection of cheeses, such as Pecorino and Brie, and cold cuts from regions across Europe will make your jaw drop. The variety of cheese and cold cuts is personally handpicked by Chef Stefano.

7. Instagram-worthy Cookie Ice Cream

Step into a world of decadence in the Dessert Showcase, where you’ll find beautiful homemade desserts and pastries, fresh fruits and nonya kuehs in a glass cabinet. The in-house chef also prepares fresh waffles and crepes that you can pair with compotes and sauces that are made in house too.

One of the highlights is the Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich, which appears to be a favorite of Chef Stefano. It was fun pumping the soft serve (Chocolate, Vanilla or both) in between two huge chocolate chip cookies. If you’d like, you could have the soft serve ice cream on a cone, and choose from an array of sugary and fruity toppings to go with it. Hidden in a chiller is Beach Road Kitchen’s very own artisanal ice cream, including classic flavours like White Chocolate and Green Tea.

An engaging feature of the dessert showcase is a panning machine which coats freshly roasted nuts in cocoa dust, making it the perfect snack to end off a good meal. The kid-friendly section features a candy parade, where you can find jelly beans, marshmallows, as well as fruity gummies.

The Beach Road Kitchen experience was nothing but phenomenal. From the hot and cold seafood collection, to the live cooking stations, Beach Road Kitchen has so much to offer. I would be lying if I said the buffet was good, because it is amazing.

The Seafood Buffet is currently available during Lunch ($58++) and Dinner ($78++) from now till August. In addition to the lunch and dinner buffet spreads, the hotel’s flagship dining venue also serves up an all-day a la carte menu, breakfast buffet ($42++) as well as a Sunday brunch buffet ($108). DBS Cardholders can get 50% off for every second paying diner.

There is an ongoing wine promotion too. For a small fee of just $30++, you can enjoy unlimited glasses of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon from Michel Lynch, and Piccini Italian Prosecco that will go just hand in hand with your luxurious dinner.

Amongst the list of the 38 eateries featured in the Michelin Bib Gourmand list 2017, New Lucky Claypot Rice is a new entrant featuring traditional claypot rice cooked over charcoal fire to bring out the smoky flavours from the charcoal.

Owing to the fact that each claypot rice dish takes 45 minutes to be ready, expect at least a minimum waiting time of 45 minutes for your claypot rice if you don’t call to place your order. We called in at 4pm so we only waited 10 minutes for our claypot rice to be ready at 530pm.

Depending on the number of people you invited, they offer a regular size and a large size for big eaters which costs $5 more. For us, we got the regular sized version at $10 for 2 people and the servings were pretty generous. We also got the oyster sauce vegetables ($4) and a bowl of preserved vegetable soup ($4) to complete the hearty dinner. You also have the option to add ingredients like chicken meat or Chinese sausages for a minimum of $5.

The claypot rice is served with huge chunks of chicken, salted fish and Chinese sausages. If you listen carefully, you’ll also be able to hear the rice sizzling in the claypot when served. New Lucky Claypot Rice also allows for you to customize how much oil and dark soya sauce you want to add into your rice so that you can enjoy it just the way you like. Make sure to mix well so that the entire dish gets evenly coated with the soya sauce and oil.

As we mixed the rice, we also observed some crispy charred chunks of rice which were crackly and contrasts the soft fragrant rice on top. The rice was sufficiently moist without being overly dry and carries small bits of meat to ensure that every bite you take is filled with some ingredients not just plain rice. The salted fish is added in moderation so that the saltiness doesn’t overpower the dish. The chicken is cooked till firm but be careful of the bones. One thing that stood out would be the smoky charcoal smell from the dish that you don’t get everywhere. Overall, I felt that the rice was cooked through evenly with a consistent flavour throughout.

We also ordered the oyster sauce vegetables to balance our diet by adding some fiber to our meal. For $4, the vegetables were sufficiently crunchy and fresh, garnished with shallots and oyster sauce.

To top our dinner off, we also got the preserved vegetable soups with pork ribs. It is served in a huge bowl of soup with tomatoes and preserved vegetables. The flavour from the preserved vegetables is prevalent in the soup with a slight tanginess. I liked that the soup helps to take off some of the heaviness from the claypot rice and would highly recommend it to go with the claypot rice. The pork ribs were chewy with a nice bite but I would’ve preferred to be softer.

Not surprisingly, New Lucky Claypot Rice has little to not like but a lot to love. It wouldn’t hit me as the best claypot rice in Singapore but I think it really doesn’t get much better than this. The Claypot was well executed with generous servings for an affordable price and if you call early, this makes for a splendid lunch or dinner.

As Europe’s oldest city, Athens is an ancient beauty with tradition and history. There are incredible monuments, museums and centuries-old structures around every corner.

Acropolis, one of Athens’s most popular destinations, is a wonderful place to get lost in. Visible from almost everywhere in the city, Acropolis is a world of its own. It manages to surprise and dazzle regardless of how well-documented it is.

Besides the historic spots that is plays host to, Athens has become a foodie destination in the last few years. There are all kinds of eateries all ready to deliver authentic Greek cuisine to you.

I met my tour guide, Maria Synodinou, who brought me to places on and off the beaten track. We tried a whole range of local delicacies and visited shops with premium Greek products. I even had the chance to speak with a few talented budding chefs.

Athens has long been a dream destination for many but the cost of flying there is always a concern. Now, we can fly to Athens easily and most importantly, affordably and safely, thanks to Scoot. Scoot has just launched their first direct long-haul flight to Athens, Greece! You get to fly on the spanking new Boeing 787 Dreamliner with All-in Fares from just SGD 268! With that, let me present to you my BEST FOOD FINDS IN ATHENS!

Food Truck

Take a short walk around the city and you will discover that Athens has joined the street food revolution. At the newly-opened Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, which is home to the National Library of Greece and the National Opera, we met Georgios Glinos who started a mobile ‘Food Truck’ that serves delicious and healthy Turkish Gözleme. Even though he has a degree in astrophysics and an MBA, he decided to jump into a totally different career.

Gözleme is a flatbread filled with delicious ingredients. Georgios gets his produce from small producers, and every item on the menu is carefully crafted by him. I shared the feta cheese with greens with my guide, as we enjoyed the view of Stavros Niarchos Park. If you’re short of time, and only have limited time to try out the food available in the city, don’t miss the Feta with Greens here.

Jimmy’s Fish

Located along the coast of Microlimano Piraeus, Jimmy’s Fish is a restaurant famous for fresh fish, seafood and Greek cuisine in Piraeus. Owner, Babies, took over the business 2 years ago from his good friend Jimmy. He used to work on a ship and knew nothing about F&B. However, he picked it up along the way and now Jimmy’s Fish is one of the most popular restaurants in Athens.

Only the freshest supply from local fishermen is served here. Our order of grilled grouper was firm but tender, the wine-braised octopus bursting with flavour, and the fried shrimps crunchy and fresh.

Classic Greek dishes are available at Jimmy’s Fish too. It may sound silly to you, but it was my first time eating Greek salad in Greece so I was really excited about it. It’s such a beautifully simple salad with sweet red tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, rich olives and salty feta cheese. Enjoying such a timeless Greek classic while admiring the view of the harbour was nothing short of enchanting.

O Gyros pou Girevis

Plaka, the oldest district in Athens, is built at the foothill of the Acropolis. We thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful view of the picturesque neoclassical houses, and the abundance of cafes and restaurants in the area. Roaming the streets is a delightful assault on the senses.

My tour guide, Maria, told me that the gyros here is one of the best in Athens. I did not doubt her as the aroma of the roasted meat was truly inviting. Gyros is a Greek dish made of meat(traditionally pork, or chicken) cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The moist and crispy meat is served wrapped in a flatbread with tomato, onion, and tzatziki sauce (made from yogurt, garlic and cucumber). If you are only heading to Athens for a really short period of time and wondering what is one restaurant that you absolutely cannot miss, O Gyros pou Girevis is it.

Froots Juice Bar

This is a lovely corner near the Acropolis Metro station. Froots Juice Bar serves freshly cold-pressed juices and sandwiches. Michael opened this juice bar 2 years ago. There are energy-boosting juices, stress-reducing juices, and more. I picked the apple, carrot, ginger and lemon combination, in the hopes of a quick juice cleanse after a day of indulgent feasting.

Here’s a fun fact! Froots has two entrances. The one from Porinou Street (pictured) has a little secret garden amongst the surrounding apartments. Sipping on a cup of refreshing fruit juice in the garden is a great way to recharge after a long day.

Takis Bakery

This small bakery located near the Acropolis Museum is an eye-opener. Artemi’s and Theodori’s Grandfather started this bakery in 1971 after working in a “koulouri” shop in Thessaloniki. Koulouri Thessalonikis is the most popular street food that one can find in Greece. This sesame seed-encrusted bread ring is a traditional snack that Greeks have as breakfast-on-the run.

Today, more than 50 different kinds of bread are produced here everyday. You will find sandwiches, cookies and cakes in the bakery. They also supply to many cafes in Athens.

Drupes & Drips

Coffee joints are bringing new buzz to the once languishing areas. The owners of Takis Bakery has opened a café “Drupes & Dripes” beside the bakery. They serve specialty coffee and juices in the morning, and fine wine and tasty Mediterranean bites later in the day. As Drupes & Drips and Takis Bakery are both owned by Artemi, food from Takis Bakery is allowed to be brought over to Drupes & Drips. We got apple pie, koulouri and brownies from Takis Bakery to go along with a cup of coffee here.

This is where I got to try Greek coffee. A strong brew (just like our kopi-gao) is boiled in a tall, narrow pot with foam on the top. It is traditionally served black, though some young people prefer to order a “double” Greek Coffee and add milk to it. This is the perfect venue for coffee-sipping and people-watching.

Melilotos

Melilotos started out as a delivery service of home-cooked meals before they decided to open a restaurant in downtown Athens. This family-run restaurant uses regional ingredients to whip up simple and traditional Greek dishes.

For a start, we shared a plate of salad with figs, French soft goat cheese and pastrami deli meat. I had the black tagliatelle made with cuttlefish ink from Chios Island. It is cooked with smoked trout from Orhomenos, cherry tomatoes and ouzo sauce. Cooked al dente, the pasta is striking in both flavour and color. The salmon baked in paper with celery, leek and fennel, is moist and tender.

Scholarchio Restaurant

Scholarchio Restaurant is one of the older restaurants in the Plaka area, closer to the base of the Parthenon. I met my Greek friend, Michael, for dinner on my last day and we managed to snag a nice table by the window.

I was honestly very impressed with the moussaka at Scoot’s meal presentation and I wanted to try it again at a local restaurant. The moussaka sees thin pieces of fried potato and eggplant layered with meat sauce, and topped with béchamel sauce. I have to admit that the moussaka was absolutely brilliant.

Noel

It feels like Christmas when I entered Noel. One of Athen’s hottest bars, this space exudes a warm and welcoming holiday charm all year round. The red walls are accented with golden touches, and chandeliers dangle from the ceiling. Do try their range of uniqe cocktails such as the Windmill Fizz – a concoction made from vodka, raspberry syrup, lemon, love bitters, cider and egg white.

Central market

Athens Central Market is where you get to see the real Athens. I enjoyed walking around the market with a carnival of smells, colors, people and activities. The best part was sampling a wide variety of fresh produce and local products along the way. There are excellent cured meats and cheeses, herbs, spices, sweets, honey, liqueurs and anything you can think of from every corner of Greece.

Throughout my few days in Athens, we tried a good range of Greek food from places only the locals knew. Maria was passionate and knowledgeable about Greek culinary heritage and shared with me a great deal about how food has always been an important part in the lives of the Greek.

Weather in Greece

To be honest, I think anytime is a good time to come to Greece because there is always something to see every season. If you really want to be specific, spring and autumn are probably the perfect times to see Athens. Between March and May, and September and November, sunshine is pretty much a guarantee. The skies will be a gorgeous azure blue and the temperature very pleasant.

Scoot to Greece

Low-cost carrier Scoot has launched their first ever long-haul flight between Singapore and Athens. The route will be serviced by Scoot’s fleet of Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner and it is a non-stop, direct flight from Singapore to Athens. The planes are fitted with eight crew bunks and a total of 329 seats, including 18 in ScootBiz.

There will be three to four flights from Singapore to Athens per week (depending on the season). During winter season (October to February), they have 2 flights a week. The planes are scheduled to take off at 2.45am (Singapore time) and land in Athens at about 8.45am (Athens time). Don’t miss the sale that runs till 30 June! To book, visit Scoot’s website.

The post Athens Food Guide – What to eat in the capital of Greece? appeared first on Miss Tam Chiak.

Ang Ku Kueh is a small oval-shaped Chinese pastry that has chewy and sticky glutinous rice flour skin wrapped around a sweet filling that fills the centre of the pastry. Traditionally, it is red in colour. However, the ones at Kueh Ho Jiak come in an array of colours – purple, brown, yellow and even BLACK.

Rest assured, for there is no artificial colouring and preservatives added to the ang ku kueh here. The skin gets its colour from the sweet potatoes that it is made from. 5 different types of sweet potatoes are used in the creation of the skin. Think Hannah sweet potatoes, Japanese sweet potatoes, Jewel sweet potatoes, Purple sweet potatoes and Garnet sweet potatoes. The skin of the kueh is freshly made by the creative Chef Sandy Hannah Tan.

Compared to the usual ang ku kueh, the skin is softer and slightly thinner with fillings that are not as sweet. They have a range of fillings for you to pick from. Flavours include classics like mung bean, red bean and yam, as well as more premium flavours like fresh durian, fresh jackfruit and hae bee hiam.

The Sweet Potato Ang Ku Kueh with Red Bean fillings go for $1.20 per piece, and was my favourite out of the lot, as the filling was not too sweet and tasted rather natural. The skin was a bit too oily and left a greasy shine on my fingers after popping the kueh into my mouth. However, we liked that the skin was thinner compared to the usual ang ku kuehs out there.

You might also recognise a certain cartoon character on their kuehs! The Hello Kitty-shaped Sweet Potato Ang Ku Kueh ($1.20) contains a peanut filling. The sweet ground peanut filling is sure to be a hit among children. We liked that the ground peanut fillings were tightly packed together in the core of the plump kueh.

The Yam ($1.20) filling is made from scratch by mashing yam together. It is made using Chef Sandy Hannah Tan’s own recipe, and is healthier as it is less sweet.

If you’re wondering how to differentiate between the different kuehs, here is a short guide to help you. The Bear-shaped ones have coconut fillings, full purple-coloured ones have yam fillings, Hello Kitty-shaped ones have ground peanut fillings and the flower-shaped ones have either red bean or mung bean fillings.

Other than their classic Ang Ku Kueh, Kueh Ho Jiak also offers unique items like Bomb Puff. They currently have Curry Potato ($1.50), Extra Spicy Lime Sardine ($1.50) and Egg Mayo ($1.50). The bomb puffs have crispy laters that are handmade with love with the use of top quality butter.

King’s Laksa Steamboat might have earned a reputation amongst locals, but did you know that it’s previous management has since been replaced by a husband and wife duo in October 2016? Regardless, the duo preserves our all-time favourite steamboat by adding their homemade Laksa gravy, as a soup base, into their menu.  

We arrived at King’s Laksa on a weekday afternoon, and it wasn’t packed. Beyond the entrance, we caught a glimpse of the leftover waste by previous patrons. At first glance, I thought the staff were idling. However, it turns out that there was only one staff tending to the preparation for dinner, as well as attending to the needs of patrons whom were still having their lunch steamboat. I was very impressed with the chef’s ability to accede to our multiple requests for uncooked meats and cooked dishes, despite not having sufficient help. Thankfully, the rest of the staff came in halfway during our steamboat experience.

The wallet-friendly steamboat includes free-flow drinks and ice cream (Lunch: Adult $20.80++, Child $16.80++; Dinner: Adult: $25.80++ Child: $16.80++). Patrons of the restaurant are entitled to 2 types of soup bases in the steamboat session. However, you can top up an $8 if you prefer to have 3 types of soup bases. We got both the mild tasting Chicken Soup base and of course, the Laksa soup base.

“We use shrimps, lemongrass, garlic, chilli and a lot of ingredients in our homemade Laksa soup, which requires more than 8 hours of preparation time. Frying the Laksa paste alone already takes about 4 hours,” co-owner Emily shared about their Laksa. The taste of the Laksa soup truly reflects the amount of effort that has gone into concocting the soup. The Laksa soup is fragrant and has a rich coconut milk aftertaste. A word of caution, the coconut milk within the Laksa soup burns easily if left heated for too long. So, remember to constantly stir the pot of Laksa soup to prevent it from getting burnt!

For starters, you might like to help yourself to their self-serve section if you desire some of the traditional steamboat ingredients such as broccoli, crab meat sticks, seafood tofu and eggs. Though this section contains only a limited variety of ingredients, the selection changes everyday so you might get new ingredients and vegetables the next time you visit. Not to worry, King’s Laksa assures you that local favourites such as Enoki Mushrooms remain in their self-serve section.

You can order fingers food, noodles, meats, seafood and more to complete your steamboat experience. The Noodles section offers classic Wholemeal Yellow Noodles and Laksa Noodles, as well as uncommon choices such as Brown Rice Laksa Noodles and Hand pulled La Mian. We opted for the Laksa Noodles, which paired really well with the Laksa soup.

I didn’t really have any expectations of the finger food, but King’s Laksa delivers cooked food that is surprisingly satisfying. You must order their Fried Tofu, which comes covered in sweet chilli Thai sauce. The combination of its silky soft interior, crispy skin and sweet chilli made it highly addictive. I also recommend getting their Golden Mantou to dip in the Laksa soup. Absolutely delish!

The restaurant offers a variety of meats and seafood that is familiar to most steamboat veterans. For the meats, some of the regular ingredients include Sliced Pork, Chicken, Beef and even Lamb. You could also sample their Beef Tripe, which is the lining of a cow’s stomach. King’s Laksa also offers a selection of seafood such as sliced fish, fresh prawns, mussels and flower crab. I’d usually drench my cooked meats and seafood in the given condiments, but cooking the ingredients in the Laksa soup really added a layer of rich, “lemak” flavour which is sufficient for me to leave my usual soy sauce-garlic mix out.

“We only source for quality ingredients that are fresh!” Emily guarantees. It’s no wonder this place is mad packed with diners on Friday evenings and weekends. With such affordable prices, I’d definitely return to King’s Laksa Steamboat to satisfy my Laksa cravings.
