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.

Tip Top Curry Puff With Video

In our second part of our Double Puff Feature, we will be focusing on what many consider to be the very best curry puff in the whole of Singapore.

Tip Top Curry Puff can only be found in Ang Mo Kio in a coffeeshop. Unlike Selera or Old Chang Kee, they only serve curry puffs and nothing else, which means they are really focused!

Selera Famous Chicken Curry Puff With Video

In the first of silverchef's Double Puff Feature, we are going to touch on Selegie's Selera Curry Puff, just opposite Rex Cinema.

This has been one of the classic curry puff stalls in Singapore, and for those who still swear by Old Chang Kee, this is one you should check out.

Soon Kee Prawn Noodles at Keban Bahru Market

I recently blogged about my favorite nasi lemak store in Keban Bahru Market in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1. Turns out the stall next to it is quite fascinating as well.

As I was consuming my nasi lemak the other morning, I noticed that there was a very steady line of people queuing up for the prawn noodles next to it, and I was intrigued enough to try one myself.

Authentic Malacca Chendol at Famosa Chicken, Jonker Street

Remember my recent post on Thomson Plaza's Jonker Nyonya Deli's chendol which I raved about?

Well, this one in Malacca beats it hands down. And of all places, I found it in Jonker Walk's Famosa Chicken.

I will not dwell on the chicken rice balls here as I will talk about a superior version in a later post.

Meera's Curry Banana Leaf Restaurant - 24 Hour Prata With Video

Seeing how this has been a Deepavali weekend, I thought I would mark this occasion with another excellent prata place.

This one is also near Upper Thomson, but more towards Mandai area. It is opened 24 hours around the clock, so this makes it a great choice for those looking for a prata fix in the middle of the night.
