Autumn Capellini with Tomato and Onion Celery Sauce

Pauline had really enjoyed last week's capellini dish, and really wanted me to do another capellini plate this week.

The thing is, she had never used to like pasta dishes, and so it was rare that she enjoyed pasta this much, and hence, I relented.

Mei Heong Yuen Dessert - Black Sesame Paste and Green Tea Snow Ice

Tong Shui (糖水) outlets have sprouted like wildfire in recent years, in particular, in town areas like Orchard.

The best of these, however, still resides within Chinatown, and my favorite one is the one referred by my friend of 20 years, called Mei Heong Yuen Dessert at Temple St.

No. 18 Zion Road Char Kway Teow

Char Kway Teow, which is really wok fried rice cake noodles, is one of our most famous local concoctions. And what better place to have a plate of this than at Zion Market.

Zion Market itself has a couple of char kway teow stalls, but the one that is most notable happens to only operate at night, to cater to the partying crown nearby.

Hainan Chicken Rice Ball at Jalan Besar With Video

Thanks to my friend working nearby, I was introduced to this wonderful chicken rice place very near Sim Lim Square, and just opposite Sim Tower at the end of Dickson Road.

It is situated at one corner near the main road, and despite the less than adequate surroundings, we were treated to a wonderful concoction of chicken rice balls and Hainan Chicken Rice.

Poached Red Snapper with Chilli Lime Capellini

This week, we made a conscious decision to create a fish dish, and wanted to do something simple as well.

I wanted to do a simple recipe for some of you out there who have recently taken to cooking (thanks for the emails!), and I encourage you to try this out.

Victoria Peak Chinese Cuisine

We had wanted to try out another restaurant at Orchard Central recently, and by some chance, we ended discovering Victoria Peak instead.

So, funny enough, the other place did not turn out positive, but we were intrigued by the seemingly unending traffic that was resonating at this chinese outlet just nearby.

Favorite Nasi Lemak at Caili Cooked Food

To find nasi lemak for breakfast has always been very convenient, but to find really good nasi lemak is another thing.

A good friend of mine who lives in Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 brought me to this corner stall at Kebun Bahru market one morning and I was hooked.

Kim's Seafood Place - Best Hokkien Prawn Mee

One of the most unique and original Singaporean dishes ever is fried hokkien prawn mee.

It is one of the most distinguishable local dishes, and one that not many can get it perfectly.

The one place where we really fancy our hokkien mee is the one at Joo Chiat Place called Kim's Seafood Place, and in fact, they have a sister branch very nearby as well.
