PuTen Thai Bistro is operated by Chef Junna (also affectionately known as Pamela), and she sells amazing Thai-style Seafood such as Deshelled Flower Crabs, Salt-crusted Grilled Fish, Deshelled BBQ Prawns, Squid and Shellfish 🦀

The Crabs and Prawns are all deshelled, which makes it super easy for consumption. No gloves needed, no work needed at all 🦐

The PuTen Chilli does pack a punch 🌶️

Mookata and Alcohol sold on site. There is space for live band singing and karaoke for a great night! Oh yes, Pamela sings too 🎶

Hup Chong Yong Tau Foo Blk 203

One of the most innovative Yong Tau Foo that we have eaten, with reasonable pricing and delicious flavours.

Honestly, the article written by Cherlynn Ng of SPH (STOMP) is rather biased and tarnished by past negative experiences.

Hup Chong Yong Tau Foo has creative items such as Scallop Yam Ring, Pumpkin Potato Rosti , Prawn Dumplings and Pork Tau Pok. If you do not like processed food like the Mozzarella Cheese Luncheon, just do not pick it!

Find us another Yong Tau Foo Store that offers these items!

Each item costs between $0.80 and $1.00 and the prices are transparent. If your total bill comes up to $9.20, that is entirely on you picking that many items. The rates are totally reasonable.

We are sad that Hup Chong Yong Tau Foo is closing in January 2026. Do give them a final support while you can!

Upon learning that Hup Chong Yong Tau Foo at Block 203 Toa Payoh North would be closing for good, I decided to have one final meal there.

𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗸𝗸𝗶𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗴 🆕

Following renovations at Block 435A Hougang Ave 8 Coffee Shop, Born Hokkien Prawn Mee took over the stall that was previously Tian Sin Vegetarian 🔄

Reviews for Born Hokkien Prawn Mee are really good, so we decided to try it for ourselves 📝

We got the $6 and the $10 portion. Unlike most famous Fried Hokkien Mee chains, the amount given is very generous for the price! We got a shock that the $10 portion is huge!!! You can get additional ingredients (Pork Belly, Prawn or Squid) for an extra $2 🤩

The Hokkien Prawn Mee is full of wok hei, and it is pretty saucy and gooey. Every spoonful is flavourful, although it can be even better if there was more crustacean flavour 🔥

Definitely an above-average Hokkien Mee that won the hearts of residents living nearby. If you have not tried Born Hokkien Prawn Mee, you really should! 🦐

Hokkien Mee Hunting is a Facebook Group that has a whopping 83,000 members! That just shows how much Singaporeans love Fried Hokkien Mee. One of the most well-loved Fried Hokkien Mee brand (with multiple posts weekly in the group) is Ah Huat Hokkien Prawn Mee 🦐

Founded by OK Chicken Rice boss Daniel Tan Boon Huat, Ah Huat Hokkien Prawn Mee sells umami-rich Fried Hokkien Prawn Mee, Fried Rice, Fried Oyster and Char Kway Teow 🥢

We are huge Hokkien Mee lovers, and we ordered 2 sizes: $6 and $10

The fry of the noodles is good, and we like that it is garlicky. The fried lard cubes are yummy and crisp, and it is definitely fresh. For chilli lovers, their chilli is quite shiok. Definitely a yummy Hokkien Mee, and we ate up everything 🧄

However, we also find that the portion is small for the pricing. The squid pieces are tiny, and when they are that small, they do not add much value to the dish 🦑

Yes, there is room for improvement, but we will still eat this again when we can 👍🏻

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗞𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲! 🇰🇷

There are quite a number of Korean Cuisine F&B operators in Singapore, but few actually make authentic and good Korean food. Most of them make food that resembles Korean food, but if you have tried good Korean food in Korea, you will know that most Korean food that you get in Singapore hardly taste like the real deal from Korea 😐

GAHE Traditional Korean Cuisine opened in February 2024 in a coffeeshop at Fernvale. They are one of the more popular stall in the coffeeshop (which also houses Lala Story Claypot), and the staff is always on their feet whipping up bowls of orders 🥣

Every order comes with a serving of Banchan (Kimchi, Zucchini and Fishcake Strip) 🥒

We actually got the last portion of Ginseng Chicken Soup Set ($9.90 for half chicken) at 7:30pm (an hour before their official closing time), so if you really want to have this, come way before this timing! 🐔

The taste is rich and yummy, with all that essence from the chicken being boiled out with the ginseng. The soup is quite close to an authentic and good one, unlike all the other watery and bitter tasting ones that you typically get elsewhere in Singapore. The glutinous rice is stuffed into the chicken, and it tastes pretty good 👍🏻

The Army Soup Set ($7.90) is one of the Must Try item from GAHE Traditional Korean Cuisine. It has a generous amount of Luncheon Meat, Sausage, Tofu, Zucchini and Beans. While it is nice and comforting, it is slightly on the salty side with a decent amount of spiciness 🫘

Overall, one of the better Korean Cuisine food spot in Singapore! Definitely come here for their Ginseng Chicken, and make sure you come early! 🏃🏻‍♂️

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗸𝗲𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲!!! 😋

Xiao Yu Cun Chinese Restaurant is a hidden restaurant located at Upper Paya Lebar Road. They occupy the last unit along a row of shophouses in a private estate area 🏘️

Many photos with celebrities are pasted on their wall 📸

While their Firewood Chicken and Dough Buns are their signature dishes, they also serve a variety of classic Chinese dishes such as Chongqing Grilled Fish, Mapo Tofu, Skewers and Rice dishes 🐔

These are what we ordered at Xiao Yu Cun Chinese Restaurant:
1️⃣ Egg Fried Rice
2️⃣ Fried Corn with Salted Egg Yolk
3️⃣ Sour and Spicy Shredded Potato
4️⃣ Special Marinated Beef Skewers
5️⃣ Lamb Skewers
6️⃣ Grilled King Oyster Mushroom
7️⃣ Kang Shi Fu Pear Juice with Rock Sugar
8️⃣ Kang Shi Fu Honey Pomelo

The Skewers are really the best thing to order at Xiao Yu Cun. They are very well seasoned and cooked. We love the spice rub on the meat! The Lamb Skewers are our favourite, and we ordered 2 portions of it. Be warned, the Special Marinated Beef Skewers are very spicy!! 🌶️

The Egg Fried Rice is well fried, but it lacks a touch of seasoning (or as what Uncle Roger would add, MSG). The Fried Corn with Salted Egg Yolk could be a good dish if they go stronger on the Salted Egg (or just salt), and the Shredded Potato ought to be cooked till softer 🥔

Come here for the Meat Skewers! They are absolutely fantastic, and they are very fairly priced! 🍖

Prices are not subjected to tariffs by Trump 🇨🇳

𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗮𝗹𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 😂

Have you tried Lala Hotpot? Lala Hotpot is an extremely delicious way of enjoying hotpot, made popular by the renowned Lala Claypot restaurant at Mount Austin, Johor Bahru 🇲🇾

Videos of the mouthwatering dish has gone viral, and the popularity of the dish has led to many establishments creating their own rendition of the Lala Claypot 🔥

Lala Story Claypot is located in Fernvale, Sengkang. Conveniently located in a coffee shop next to Kupang LRT, the family owned food stall sells a mean charcoal-fire Lala Claypot Hotpot priced starting from $16 (500g Lala Hotpot) 🚝

The price for the hotpot is excluding hotpot ingredients, which are are priced between $1.00 for Noodles to $30 for a Mud Crab. You can opt for the Deluxe Lala Story Set for 2-3 pax at a discounted price of $39.80 🥢

If you want something more premium, Crab and Lala Charcoal Hotpot goes for $45 (which seems to be $1 cheaper than $16+$30 ala carte) 🦀

We like the taste of the soup, which can be enhanced with free-flow Hua Diao Wine, chopped Red Chillies, Garlic and Spring Onion from the counter. The taste of the Lala really comes through, and the red chilli really gives the soup a nice spicy kick 🌶️

The Mud Crab is not pre-cracked, so you will need to borrow the shell-cracker from the stall. Be careful when cracking the crab shell! ❗

Good Lala Hotpot from here. We can see ourselves becoming a regular here! 👍🏻

𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗲𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗢𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 🦪

6 years ago, somebody recommended us to try Meng Kee Hougang Fried Oyster at Lao Zhong Zhong Eating House. It took us that long to finally give this Fried Oyster Stall a try! 💬

Auntie unashamedly reminded us that the smallest plate of Fried Oyster costs $8, pointing to her signboard with the price stated clearly. Definitely steep pricing! 💸

The $8 plate of Fried Oyster has a modest and regular portion of Fried Oyster. It looks decent, and the taste is slightly on the saltier side. Oysters are of a decent size. Nothing mind-blowing, but not too shabby🧂

If you like your food more savoury that usual, you might appreciate the Fried Oyster from this stall 🫤

𝗪𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿!💧

Everybody loves to have hot and cold water instantly. Boiling water and making ice cubes is troublesome, so having a Water Dispenser that dispense hot and cold water instantly definitely provides a lot of convenience! ❄️

Oxyliving is a company in Singapore that provides Water Dispenser, Filters and installation services! Their tankless Water Dispenser is sleek (18cm wide, 27cm deep and 39cm tall), and is able to dispense water at 5 different temperature [15°C to 98°C, the temperature is adjustable (increase or decrease as per your liking)]. Water can be dispensed in 3 different volume (150ml, 300ml and 500ml), and the dispenser also has a child-lock function to keep your little ones safe 🔒

The Korean Filters are large capacity (1-year usage), and there are 4 different filters (Sediment Filter, Ultra-Filtration Membrane Filter, Carbon Filter and Anti-Oxidant Filter). The Anti-Oxidant Filter is available on 2 variants: Alkaline and Non-Alkaline variant to suit your preference. Honestly, the filters do not take up much space at all 🚫🦠

Getting the Water Dispenser from that is a breeze. All you have to do is to make an appointment with them, and their sales representative will head over to your place and let you know more about their product and pricing (no hard selling). If you are interested to get their Water Dispenser and Filters, they will then install it for you in the best possible manner (no mess created) 🛠️

Once a year, the Oxyliving Team will head to your place to help with the Filter changing. It can be technical (e.g., flushing of the Carbon Filter, testing of the water) so it is best to let the experts handle that. Be sure to change the Filters for best water quality (avoid using Filters that are past their lifespan as there may be bacteria build-up) 🔄

Installation Payment Method is available (up to 24 months) so there is very little cash payment upfront 💵

We have been really satisfied with the device (no leaks, no break-down) and after-sales service, so we will recommend it to you! Contact them via WhatsApp at 9182 6855 to find out more! 📱

Su Yuan is a popular Vegetarian Bee Hoon/Noodles stall located at Telok Blangah Crescent Market and Food Centre. They sell their Noodles with standard items, and it comes in 2 sizes: $4.00 for small and $5.00 for large. The Bee Hoon is paired with Vegetables, Vegetarian Goose, Char Siew and a Gravy. Additional ingredients cost an extra $1.00, and a Spring Roll costs $1.20 🥢

Auntie picks the ingredients, while Uncle handles the transactions. Uncle is not that fast with his hands, so do be a little patient with him 👴🏻

The food is decent, and you just can't find any fault with it. The Gravy with the Noodles makes it a little special, but it's not gonna blow your mind. Thus, we aren't sure why the queue exists. Perhaps it forms because service is too slow?🚶🏻‍♂️
