Rochor Beancurd House at Geylang

After my previous mention on the excellent beancurd place from Rochor Original Beancurd at Selegie, I was informed by a reader to try out this Geylang beancurd stall as well.

They look very similar to the one at Selegie, except they have a different signboard and slightly different stall name.

Mei Zhen Hakka Delicacies With Video

During our visit to Shunfu Market for our char siew feature, we also discovered that next to it was also a very popular hakka snack stall called Mei Zhen Hakka Delicacies.

It serves various hakka specialties like soon kueh (mushroom and turnip dumplings), glutinous rice, suan pan (yam balls and garlic) and many more.

Curry Favor With Video

It is always a delight when you chance upon an eating gem when you least expect it, and Curry Favor found in Stamford House is just once of those delightful surprises.

Pauline and I were on our way to a beef appreciation session hosted by the ieat folks, when we needed a quick bite near her office in Capitol.

Chung Wah Chicken Rice Ball in Malacca, Jonker Street

Alas, my great chicken rice ball hunt has taken me all the way up to Malacca to find the holy grail of all rice balls, and did it live up to expectations?

Well, yes and no. But let me backtrack a bit. I have already had the best of the chicken rice balls here in Singapore, namely the ones in Jalan Besar and Braddell.

Traditional Fu Shi Roasted Wanton Mee With Video

Within the confines of Shunfu Market, lies hidden one of the best kept secrets when it comes to char siew, or honey glazed barbecued pork.

Personally, I have never been a big fan of char siew, and very often I will ask them to be replaced by more wantons when I order my usual plate of wanton noodles.

Po Piah Lwee in Malacca Near Jonker Street

When we were in Malacca last week, one of our food objectives was to visit a classic Nyonya eatery called Nancy's Kitchen just off Jonker Street.

Unfortunately, we were a bit late and it seemed the place was not accepting any new customers for the day, so we were left to hunt somewhere else for our Nyonya fix.

Cafe De Hong Kong With Video

There are moments when you find immense joy in new discoveries, and discover we did in this gem of a cafe introduced by cactuskit from ieat forums.

From its unpretentious exterior, sitting on the edge of Balestier Road, one would not expect such an unassuming cafe to elicit such a treasure trove of culinary delights.

Duo of Scallops with Fermented Tofu and Chinese Greens and Apple Pear Curry Foam

Over the weekend, I had the idea of doing a scallop dish and wanted to do it two ways to present it with a certain contrast.

I also wanted to give it a nice east and west balance, so I basically came up with 2 different sauces and garnishes to signify the 2 different regions of flavors.
