Anchovy rice balls from Masizzim Singapore. Essentially a feisty chilli padi-ikan bilis rice experience, with the mucky fun of sculpting and playing with balls – you get served a big bowlful of rice with gloves to do as you please – absolutely on the house. 3.8/5 This was a hosted…
Swicy Hot Chick from Black Nut – sweet and spicy gochujang chilli wings. Essentially chicken wings coated in a sticky, carrot cake chilli-esque sauce that will cheekily (chickily?) find its way all over your mouth. 3.6/5 Black Nut 2 Emerald Hill Singapore 229287
Spicy Chicken Stew (Spice Level 1 of 4) at Masizzim Singapore. When you taste the stew on its own, powdery ashes float lazily in the wind and land ever so gently and quietly on your tongue, and you will dismiss these innocuous-seeming embers, but seconds later they register with white-hot…

Lemon Steam Squid from Haha Thai. A love gift for those who itch for flirtation with oral danger – a highly citric flare blitz assaults your senses, the soup marvellously imbued with the essence of squid so thoroughly leached that the squid lies lifelessly shagged from all the flavour extraction.…
“Pasta X Chicken X Green Curry = ??” from Som Tam – pan-seared pasta with sweet and savoury Thai green curry. Essentially a most scintillating extra-marital jungle romp between instant noodle curry powder, mee rebus and green curry…if you request for it to be more spicy. The picture on the…
After You toast with Thai basil and Chocolate Chip ice cream from Som Tam. Compared to Tuk Tuk Cha’s golden crumbliness, the saltily buttery toast here is of a notably softer, gentler ilk and elsewhere, the Thai basil and chocolate chip combination tasted like chippy tropical jungle. 3.9/5 Som Tam…
Green tea bingsu from Nunsaram Korean Dessert Café. The choice of whipped cream to collar the bingsu was rather bizarre, but once said collar was scrapped off the mountain the green tea dessert was quite the hot weather delight, with the combination of sauce and ice cream somehow lasting long…
