This is the place to go for your nasi lemak cravings for people in the North/Central. Why bother traveling all the way for Punggol nasi lemak with an hour long waiting time just to get the same standard?
Or perhaps I'm just not one of those people who would queue because the long wait just puts me off.

They are generous in their servings, and a set consisting of rice and 3 other ingredients cost about $5, which is way cheaper than the $10 a plate at Punggol Nasi Lemak. Today, I ordered their chicken wings, sambal lady fingers and sambal prawns. The chicken wings were fried to the right crispiness, and the meat was tender too. The prawns were a good complement with the chicken but the lady fingers were ordinary. I would have preferred it to be more spicy.

Always ask for an extra dollop of sambal chilli, because that should be drenching your rice and chicken wings for the ultimate nasi lemak experience!
Most people come to this outlet for takeaways, but if you're in no hurry, there are always seats available.

If you love your burgers big, you'll love chilis. This is by far my favourite American franchise in Singapore. Okay, this and Tony Romas.

See, no other restaurants serve their burgers this big, and I love em big! The more fillings, the more meat, the better! This is definitely a burger that burger lovers will love!

My standard order is the Southern Smokehouse Bacon burger, because who can resist bacon & onion rings in their burgers?! And they hardly do this anywhere else. Apart from their fantastic burger, they load the whole basket full of fries. I often skip lunch when I know there is a dinner at Chili's, because how else are you supposed to finish this giant of a burger with that bed of fries!

If you're going with a big group, order their bottomless tostidos with salsa, its thin and crispy, just the way I like it. Plus, the salsa is refillable too.

And only for those with a huge appetite, definitely do not miss out on their molten chocolate cake. It is a fantastic cherry on top of a perfectly good meal! Don't attempt to finish it on your own though, the chocolate is really rich, and two spoons will make you quite sick. Desserts are always meant to be shared.

My favourite outlet is the one in RWS, only because there are stores still opened after dinner for you to wander around. The shops around Tanglin were closed once we were done with dinner, so we had no choice but to wander off to the more crowded area of town. Definitely opt for the one in RWS!

There are just some afternoons when the weekend has gone by too quickly, and I just want to get away from the buzz and people. This is where I shut myself off from the world and enjoy some me time.

Of all the canele outlets, this is by far my favourite, because it is out of the way. Its not impossible to get here, but most people would opt for the more convenient outlets, which is why the crowd isn't that crazy here. I can at least hear the music & enjoy my book without getting distracted by unintentional evesdropping of the table beside me.

This time, I decided to give their tiramisu a go. The spongey bits soaked up the flavourful coffee syrup, and it was a perfect balance between being too soggy vs. being too dry. If you simply must get fabulously good cake, go to canele.

The other thing I love so much about canele is their macarons. I never fail to buy some home for the family, and their vibrant colours are too tempting to leave without getting any.

This little quaint cafe is one of the many gems that still remain undiscovered. I haven't seen many people visiting it, nor many photos of it. Perhaps because of its price, because it was rather pricey, but it comes at a justified cost.

I ordered the white truffle ravioli, and expected perhaps a little more than the usual standards, because of its price. But it was all worth it. The pasta was cooked just right, and the filling within was impeccably delicious! It was a fine mixture of truffles, cream and some type of garnish which brought out the fragrance of it all. Every bite was a little piece of heaven!

Their desserts were good too, but most of all, its the sort of place where you want to enjoy a slow brunch with your girlfriends and talk for hours. I love it that there wasn't too many people so there is no pressure to finish your meal and leave! Nope. This is a great place to chill and have those good long catch-ups.

The waiters were really friendly as well, always refilling our cups with a smile, and they never attempted to pressure us to leave.

Lovely place, great food, I highly recommend it!

This is your normal tze char stall which can be found all over Singapore, except, they offer affordable prices for an air-conditioned setting, and no queuing needed!

It is also a great place for families because of the prawning pond located right beside this restaurant, which always makes for good pre or post dinner activity. I personally recommend post because it has a bar there as well, so while the kids are having the time of their lives prawning, parents can still enjoy the night with a cold beer.

The food was pretty decent, but nothing extremely fancy. I simply enjoy the place because there isn't a long queue or a crowd. The sambal sotong was yummy though, it wasn't too tough or chewy, and their sambal chili was good. I wouldn't recommend the cereal prawns though, or perhaps it was just our luck, but they weren't very fresh. We had much more luck with the barbequed prawns from the pond.
