Okay, now starting my track down of Laksa Siglap in Singapore.

Who Invented Lou Hei Yu Sheng? History of Chinese Prosperity Raw Fish Toss 好运鱼生• 什锦鱼生• 十感鱼生
How did the annual Chinese New Year ritual of lou hei yee sang or prosperity toss of raw fish and salad come about?

The custom of eating dumplings during Winter Solstice go even further back by a few centuries. How did the dumpling custom come about and why are Chinese dumplings or jiao zi 饺子 shaped like ears?

James Chua, third generation of Song Kee.
I am a long time fan of Song Kee and grew up with their fish balls and fish dumplings (her kiao 魚餃). Song Kee is today, one of the top fish ball brands in Singapore and still among my favourites.
I don't say this lightly. It's literally my hawker dish growing up - let me explain.

Why are Bhutan & Singapore Both Called "Switzerland of Asia"? Same Same but Different
On my first night in Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan we stayed in Swiss Boutique Hotel.

Haa Valley Bhutan Buckwheat Momo • Hoentey • Dumplings📍Kuenphen Restaurant ☎️ +975-17889641 ☎️ +975-77307753
Ema datsi or chili cheese is the national dish (and best known Bhutanese dish to foreigners). Chili cheese is a side dish in most Bhutanese meals while momo, a dumpling dish less known outside Bhutan has a strong presence in the country as a staple dish. The dumpling dish is widely popular and momo joints are everywhere in Bhutan (in the same way chicken rice is ubiquitous in Singapore).

I don't know the names of any of these favourites. I just know where they were located along Upper Bukit Timah Road. They were my reliable places of habit 老地方,习惯的味道.
