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…

Chinese New Year Makanathon

Over the course of the Chinese New Year period, I had the opportunity to eat and eat and eat. From super expensive to totally forgettable food, from Chinese to Western, set meal to buffet I tried them all. Luckily in the lead up to my race next week, I had lost some weight and so…

Food in Kota Kinabalu

Was in Kota Kinabalu a few weeks back and had a great time eating the local street food. We stayed in the Gaya area and there was absolutely the best food around. We went with the flow and ate mostly at the crowded shops although we did dine at some of the not so crowded…

Swatow Seafood Restaurant

After watching Buffet Buffet 2 on Channel 8, decided that since I was going to Toa Payoh, to check out the dim sum buffet at Swatow Seafood Restaurant. That despite the rather negative review on Hungrygowhere.    We were early and didn’t qualify for the high tea buffet which starts at 3pm. But since we…

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. Will it taste like those in Malaysia? As it was about 5pm in the afternoon, there…

Smallest Kong Bak Pau

Paus have been getter bigger like the Gozilla bao or smaller like this one but kong bak pau (stewed pork bun)? Was at Toa Payoh and went and got the miniscule pau and saw that they have this whole tray of what looks like the yong tau foo roll. It turned out to be the…

Battle of the Baos

Not that type of bao…. but the real edible type. Was at Red Star Restaurant at Chin Swee Road last week and of course we had to have their Big Bao. Those in the know will know that it is no ordinary big. By big, I mean big big as in humogous. Here it is…

Yong He Beancurd

Since this Saturday morning is temporarily out for running, went in search of good food. Sorry Dr Loo, the procreation thing leaves me cold. Went to the relocated Yong He beancurd at Geylang. Have not been there since they relocated to this corner. Somehow the place seems quieter. We ordered:Toasted bun with you tiao, xiao…

Swee Choon

After the Shape Run, the ladies wanted to eat dim sum. Remembered watching Snack Attack on tv which featured this place in Jalan Besar so decided to make our way there. Quite easy to find just along Jalan Besar Rd before Desker Road and opposite the Jalan Besar Food Centre. The place, simply named Swee…

Gozilla Pau

What is a Gozilla Pau? So what so special about it? It is huge! Much bigger than the pau available at the rest stop in Yong Peng, Malaysia or the steam bun in Japan. Just look at its size next to an ordinary char siew pau, a sew tao and a coffee cup. What’s inside?…
