My husband has been eating their bak kut teh since their Hill St Food Centre days so we are a tad biased. Theirs isnt the typical thick herbal style or the ultra peppery broth. Just light yet flavorsome soup that isnt oily. You can order the vegetables blanched in the meat broth. Nice traditional comfort food. If you look around Zion St Food Market on the weekend mornings, you'll find many families there, eating Ba Kut Teh and drinking the kungfu tea with a hot kettle boiling on every table!

Plus they have very nice fresh fish in the mornings too. Nothing better than enjoying good food, sipping chinese tea and reading newspaper on a cool Sunday morning by the canal. This is the upstream of the Singapore River and is old school affordable and accessible waterfront dining for everyone! Sometimes you can even spot herons and other wildlife stopping in for a rest along the canal. The stall is right beside the waterfront so it offers a great view. The perfect food on a rainy morning especially in this humid and hot climate of ours! Speak teochew to the stall owners for extra friendly ga-gi-nang service ;) Do note that it can get pretty expensive if you start ordering the fish and other extra servings of kidney, intestines and other side dishes. My favourite is the mee sua, a must have for me!

This is really the perfect family Sunday Breakfast tradition and I can only hope it continues to be there so I can bring my children there in the future.

We went to 7atenine at Esplanade on 8 August last year, a day before national day and it was just worth every penny. Originally, we intended to go there for a performance at the Esplanade's Outdoor Amphitheatre. While there, we discovered 7atenine serving draught stella artois on tap and excellent tapas such as "organic beef sashimi" to tempt our palettes! At the same time, we chose a seat nearest to the amphitheatre so we can hear the performance while enjoying the ice cold beer! If you go during the national day period, during rehersals, there are also free fireworks to watch over the view of the marina bay! We were also lucky there were YOG rehersals ongoing and more displays to enjoy! The ambiance is also very romantic and I'd definitely consider it again for intimate celebrations!

At lunch in the CBD, there is often a long queue of health-conscious ladies at the counter of Red Mango at 8 Shenton Way. Either as a main course for lunch or a healthy dessert, it provides value for money through its use of fresh ingredients. And not to be bored by mono-flavour selections, Red Mango offers different flavours of yoghurt every day. Unfortunately there are only 2 flavours a day, and an option for a "twist" of both flavours. I tried the blueberry toppings and they used fresh blueberries! It was fantastic! The funniest thing my friend and I noticed though was that the girl serving us counted as she placed every blueberry evenly over my yoghurt. No worry about being short changed A strong standard for aesthetics and presentation too! Fantastic! Too bad, like every other food outlet in CBD, they close rather early. Too bad no yoghurt for dinner!
