Everything about Food and Wine
Deng Wen Ji
I used to frequent East Village for Eng's Wonton Mee and Geylang Ah Ching Calypot rice before we started working from home due to the pandemic.
Shun Feng Roasted Delight
This stall took over Kay Lee Roast Meat in the same coffeeshop as the popular old-school 昇记 Sheng Ji Fishball Noodle in Bukit Merah View about 3 months ago.
VENUE By Sebastian
We used to frequent Restaurant Ember at Hotel 1929 for Chef Sebastian's contemporary European creations. He took a break from the local F&B scene and returned 3 years later to open this bistro-style restaurant.
Compared to Ember, the setting at VENUE is much more casual. There is no pressed tablecloth and you are seated in an open dining hall that opens up to the kitchen on one side and the walkway on the other. With such open concept and the location on the ground floor of a downtown mall would also mean busy human traffic passing by making it difficult for an intimate conversation.
They have deviated from the sharing concept which started when the restaurant first opened due to the COVID situation and are currently offering lunch set on weekdays (2-course for $38++ and 3-course for $46++).
While I prefer the cosier ambience at Ember, the food here is still very “Sebastian”. We are reminded why we have always enjoyed Sebastian's cooking - honest and quality; mod
Itaewon Jjajang
The restaurant's name reminded me of the famous Korean drama Itaewon class!
Mr & Mrs Nasi Lemak
Mr and Mrs Nasi Lemak has relocated from French Road to my hood at Tiong Bahru effective today, 1st April.
Griglia Open Fire Italian Kitchen
Opened its door along Craig Road six months ago, Griglia is an Italian restaurant that aims to showcase the culinary essence of the Grigliata (Italian Barbecue) in a modern way.
Tiong Bahru Lien Fa Shui Jing Pau
This Shui Jing Pau (水晶包) was one of my must-haves whenever I visited the old Tiong Bahru Market decades ago.
NBCB
That’s what I had for dinner. Cheese burger from Nothing But Cheese Burger (NBCB) that @ashinthekitch brought home after covering the new cheese burger house at Orchard Central earlier.
Is this just an innocent acronym for their brand or playing mischievously with the same acronym for a vulgar Hokkien expletive to capture attention?
Swearing is not always a good idea but sometimes it is cool to experiment and have some fun. Anyway, I don’t care. To me what is important is the cheese burger taste decently good.
Hor Fun Premium
Impressive Beef Horfun ($5) with smokey wok hei and tender beef slices. Definitely worth a visit.
