Rubato With Video

2012 Latest update: Chef Peter has moved on and started his own restaurant called Pietro at Jalan Kelulut.

Pauline came home one night with a very excited look on her face, and this was due to the fact that she had just discovered a delightful new Italian restaurant near her workplace.

Rubato was the simple name of this place, and it is run and owned by a very young yet remarkable young man by the name of Marcus. It is located within Jalan Peminpin, just about 10 minutes walk from Marymount MRT.

Kok Kee Wanton Noodle With Video

After going to 51 Kovan Wanton Noodle, winekaki was anxious to bring me to his personal favorite wanton noodle place, found in Lavender Food Market.

Kok Kee Wanton Noodle is run by an elderly couple, and has been quite notable. This was pretty much endorsed by the fact that there was always a queue when we were there during the off peak hours of 3pm in the afternoon.

Punggol Noodles In Kovan With Video

I have long heard of this very remarkable noodle place in Kovan called Punggol Noodles, and had been waiting to try their noted meatball noodles for quite some time now.

Unfortunately, their business is so good that they usually close after lunch, which means we had to get there very early one weekend just to savor this noodle delicacy.

Xin Yang Thai Food in Woodlands

Winekaki who lives in Woodlands has always been asking me to try out this quaint little Thai stall situated on a 2nd floor of a food court there, and I had never been able to do so until last week.

On the evening that we were there, and despite a heavy downpour outside, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this stall was attracting quite a large queue. Larger than the zhe char stall next door.

A Silver Valentine - Valentine's Day 2011

Although we have been together for many years, we have always celebrated Valentine's Day one way or another. And in our younger, more gullible years, we have always gone out to restaurants on this day.

In recent years, perhaps due to work, and also due to the realisation that V-Day can be very commercialised, we have veered towards simpler meals to celebrate.

Bobcat PhD, Persistent Hawker Detective

Today, I am taking a break from the usual food posts, and would really like to acknowledge someone who has been very influential to this blog.

And that person is none other than Bobcat, who is really one of the best resources for hawker food in Singapore.

Futhermore, he is also someone who has a great palette and has a great affinity with people.

Jiang Ji Traditional Hainanese Chicken Rice 江记 With Video - The Best Chicken Rice

There are very few certainties in life, and what's more, there are very few definitive hawker food out there that can stand head and shoulder above their every competitor.

So, when it comes to our beloved chicken rice, there has always been great debate on who is the best in town. Wee Nam Kee, Boon Tong Kee, Kampong Chicken, Tian Tian, 5 Star etc, the list is endless.
