History of Read Bridge ● Cha Chun Tau ● Singapore River's Party Bridge 柴船头

 Read Bridge 2006

Read Bridge which spans the Singapore River connecting the north and south banks at Clarke Quay, is truth be told, not a pretty bridge nor any architectural marvel. Neither is it the oldest, youngest, longest or anything. The 280 metres short bridge's only credential is it is at Singapore River's most happening place, the party central of Singapore River since the turn of the century till today 💃

Rahim Muslim Food. Mee Rebus vs Mee Soto. Which One More Power?

We came here drawn by the hype stellar online reputation of Rahim Muslim Food's Mee Rebus Power in Ang Mo Kio's Chong Boon Market. It was nice but we thought their Mee Soto is a sort of unsung hero. Truth be told, their mee soto is my number one choice at Rahim Muslim Food.

Whampoa KuoTie XiaoLongBao Menu & Review @ Hong Fu Ling 81 Eating House 黄浦锅贴小笼包

Humble Chinese dumpling stall in a Whampoa kopitiam that probably serves the best cheap and good xiao long bao, pot sticker (kuotie) and wantons in Singapore. The corner stall run by a couple from Qingdao, China had been here under the social media radar for over 6 years.

Kwai Luck Mee Siam @ Chong Boon Market. 40 Years Perfecting 1 Dish

Kwai Luck Cook Food serves an excellent mee siam kuah with a rich, well balanced sauce full of savoury, umami, sweet, sour and underlying spice flavours. The sauce has a lot of flavours, all in "a bit, a bit" portions playing hide and seek with your tastebuds, if you are attentive. I really enjoyed this little traditional treat.

Wai Hai Lou Casual Chinese Restaurant Menu & Review. Satisfying Simple Staples 外海楼

I was blown away by the depth of savoury beefy sweet flavours of this soup. The beef brisket was soft, juicy and beefy sweet. The noodles had a nice light crunch to the bite. This ranks in my mind in the top band of beef noodles in Singapore.

Honest Review of Lee's Confectionary. HDB Cafe & French Patisserie Worth a Journey to the West until Jurong

Lee's Confectionary is a walk-pass kind of nondescript HDB shop lot place but once you discovered it, you will want to tell your friends, if not jio them to go over. The decor is bare bones minimalist, the coffee is pretty good but the stars here are the fine handcrafted French style cakes. If you are a cake person like me, you will be making excuses to journey to the west until Jurong.

Sinar Pagi Nasi Padang Menu & Review @ Geylang Serai Market. Good but Pricey

Sinar Pagi Nasi Padang at Geylang Serai really needs no introduction. It is one of the most famous Nasi Padang stalls in Singapore and the busiest stall at Geylang Serai Market. It has a wide range of Nasi Padang dishes including all the classics like rendang meats. Spice use is comprehensive (no missing spices) and their flavours, aromas and intensity are finely tuned for balance. Delicious but prices are higher than average hawker centre levels.
