Zou san Tim Ho Wan (早晨! 添好運)
But of course, that’s not it for new restaurant openings. The super famous Michelin-starred Hong Kong restaurant, Tim Ho Wan, is set to wow our taste buds with affordable dim sum in the month of April as well. For an average price of about $4 for say, a BBQ Pork Bun or Pan Fried Turnip Cake, we can see why everyone’s getting all excited for the grand opening on April 10.

Well, with unique grub like Sea Urchin Pudding and Beef Tongue Escalopes, we can see why.

Heard of the latest fad, ‘Chope Food for the Needy’?
Singapore’s latest fad is for a good cause, and it’s growing. The purpose of ‘Chop Food for the Needy’ is simple: help the less fortunate out by ensuring they have something to eat.
The steps? Go to any food stall, coffee joint, etc. you frequent, pre-pay for servings of food or drinks and finally, ask the staff to give the food/drink out to needy people when they see them.
