Club Nasi Lemak from The Tiong Bahru Club Singapura – fragrant coconut rice served with chilli sambal accompanied with 2 pieces of Truck Stop Fried Chicken, seafood otah, sunny-side-up egg with fried anchovies and peanuts on the side. Unlike the travesty that was the Hainanese Chicken Rice Balls, this nasi…
Hainanese Chicken Rice Balls from The Tiong Bahru Club Singapura. The dark rage that this $16.80 dish ignites is equivalent to the feeling you get when you realise that obnoxious, Phua Chu Kang mole-above-her-lip, banshee-esque secretary from the other department who once stomped on your shoes while queuing ahead of…
Fish head curry from Na Na Homemade Curry. More piquant and clear than your usual coconut-heavy curries, with the generous portion of taupok playing sponge rather admirably.

Char-grilled Ribeye Hor Fun from Gardenasia. Essentially your standard hor fun dish, done competently and given a classy Western upgrade with enjoyably chewy ribeye. A generous sprinkling of black pepper flavours the beef rather well and the little black runts somehow find their way onto every spoonful of gravy or…
[NEW] [Telok Ayer] [Opened: TODAY] I haven’t eaten breakfast and I WAN 吞 some wanton (leave the Chinese puns to the pros, bro – Editor). Well, I’m in luck because the gourmet wanton noodle bar Wanton opens TODAY. Lunch menu is straightforward while the dinner menu allows you to customize…
