126 Wan Dou Sek

I heard about this dim sum outlet in Geylang but never actually been there. Until now. As per the grapevine, there was a long queue outside the small little shop. Thank goodness a friend was there earlier and he queued up for us first. The place is a tad too small with long table instead…

Johore Bahru Bau & Tim Sum

Almost all Singaporeans are familiar with the Malaysian’s tim sum and especially their version of bao or pau.   So I was excited when I chanced upon this shop in Changi Village that proudly proclaimed “Johor Bahru Pau” one evening.
