Mr Grumpy by Fiie's Cafe Nasi Ayam Goreng Fried Chicken Rice Marsiling Woodlands Outlet

After running an errand near Marsiling MRT station, I walked around looking for lunch. Spotted this Mr Grumpy by Fiie's Cafe Nasi Ayam Goreng stall.

Fiie's Cafe at Lucky Plaza had extensive viral media coverage a few years ago. I have never had it before and since I am already here 来都来了, I decided to give Fiie's a try.

Super Star Original Famous Penang Laksa @ People's Park Food Centre • Halal Certified

You know.... I am not really a big fan of Penang asam laksa because I don't like sour tasting things - most of the Penang laksa that I've had so far made me cringe. (I've had a few in Penang.) I've seen a lot of media coverage about Super Star Original Famous Penang Laksa before but that still doesn't move me 😬 But, when buddy Milton jio-ed (invited) me to join him there, I went along more to lim kopi (drink coffee) nia nia (only) 😬

Warung Selera Masakan Kampung • Nasi Campur by Kak Ani📍60 Changi Road near Joo Chiat Complex

History of Laksa Siglap • Origins of the Other Singapore Laksa & its Johore Sultanate Roots

When you ask Singaporeans about laksa, most will immediately think of Nyonya or Peranakan laksa. It is the Malay - Chinese fusion curry laksa attributed to Peranakan (Malay for "local born"), exemplified by Katong laksa. Katong laksa has an interesting history.
