I don't usually eat cha kway teow but something told me I had to try the one at Tiong Bahru Market. The stall is owned and run by an 82 year old man, who has spent his entire life frying noodles; so it was no surprise that my plate of noodles was really good! It was really flavorful, I could taste the garlic and the noodles didn't have an overpowering "starchy" feel/ taste that some other places have. It wasn't too oily either. My only complain is that there was too little "hum" haha but that's just me. Will definitely eat this again!

I fell in love with korean cuisine ever since visiting korea last year and since then I've always been drawn to korean dishes, especially that of kimchi. Tried the kimchi fried rice here I must say it's really addictive as I ended up eating this almost every week! The kimchi fried rice alone is $4.50 and if you add meat (chicken, beef or pork) it's $5.10. Pretty worth it as they give a generous amount of rice and meat. The rice is slightly spicy and the kimchi can get a little salty at times but I love the sticky consistency of the rice. A staple for me!

p.s. their other dishes are good too but i'll save those for a separate review ;)

I've been to Simply Bread only once, at their Sixth Avenue branch, and I remember their bread being really fresh and tasty and the atmosphere really suitable for brunch. Went to the Cluny Court branch with my friends for brunch and its a much quieter, smaller place. The bread seems less fresh and a lot lesser in variety. I was initially quite disappointed that we didn't go to their other branch instead but the Beef Sandwich (i don't remember the exact name, there are two beef sandwiches, this is the one that has some "rare" beef in it) saved the day!! Look at the photo - generous amounts of good quality beef in a sandwich. Pretty pricy (about $10) but quite worth it as I rarely come across such good quality meat in a sandwich. The beef reminded me of beef jerky which I used to eat in US. Yum Btw that's just half of the sandwich (shared with a friend). Coffee was decent, and it was a quiet/ empty enough place to chill out with my friends on a Sunday afternoon. If you want fresh bread, go to the other branch. Otherwise, this place is good for chilling and their sandwiches. Recommended!

Went to Maxwell for late lunch and tried Tian Tian because it was the first stall to turn up on Google (there's too much good food to choose from, had to resort to technology lol). Only bai ji is served at Tian Tian. The rice was very fragrant and tasty, not too oily too. The chicken slices were generous and really silky and soft. I don't think its anything really special or "wow" but I am 100% satisfied with this; simple and good quality food. Yummy!

Was at the Duxton area with my friends for brunch and we HAD to try out Flor as we love Glace (Chef Yamashita, the man behind the yummy cakes at Glace, opened Flor). The cakes were all about $6-7. The Cacao Royal was good, chocolate was rich and dense, but nothing special. The Earl Grey Chocolat was surprisingly sweet (I had expected a tea cake to be not-so sweet), but my friends loved it. There was a slice of banana inside the cake too, which was an interesting addition. However the unanimous favourite was The Vert (the green in french, i think). Its a green tea sponge/mousse cake, and it was sooo good. The green tea is flavourful but not overpowering, and its neither too sweet nor bitter, given a really fragrant aftertaste. The combination of sponge and cream makes this an easy cake to eat. Really interesting and recommended! Will definitely be back to try their other cakes, especially the much raved about strawberry shortcake.
