黑社会 is a Chinese restaurant that specializes in Cantonese food. It was my first time dining there and definitely not my last We ordered fried noodles and frog leg porridge as our mains to share (I love frog leg porridge) and 2 other sides - xiao long bao and the spicy chicken; and custard bun for dessert! Overall, I felt that the fried noodles were mediocre, and so is the frog leg porridge (its the boiled type not spicy so maybe that's why it isn't that flavourful). Xiao long bao was not bad. It's spicy chicken was really good and I love the custard bun!!! A rather expensive place to go just for the custard bun, so maybe one day I will try Swee Choon as well ;)

My family decided to dine out for lunch and we went to try Kim Gary, which is a hong kong inspired restaurant that sells affordable food.
I didn't know what to order, so I chose their Korean spicy noodles. A very hearty meal indeed with the large variety of ingredients with the noodles. And it comes with 2 free dumplings My sis chose the fish with rice which she says was really delicious. Extremely tender fish *thumbs up*!My aunt chose fried noodles which tasted very ordinary and dry. Not very appetizing huh Dish of the day!!! Blask Pepper Steak with spaghetti! My dad absolutely loves this! Tender and juicy beef that goes well with the spaghetti. The black pepper is a bit spicy though.Would recommend this place for family dining if you are looking for affordable hong kong food, but do note not all dishes are that tasty

Remember Singapore's very own hawker heroes? Where our local hawkers and Gordon Ramsay had a face-off? Well, I decided to take a visit to 328 Katong Laksa (which was one of the contestants who won) to see if their Laksa had improved since I had last visited it 6 years ago.

We ordered 2 bowls of their laksa and some otah to go along with it. I must say, the laksa has improved over the years! 6 years ago, I remembered my bowl of laksa to be extremely powdery but now the gravy is not only less powdery but it also tastes pretty awesome But because of their popularity from the hawker heroes challenge, the queue at 328 Katong Laksa do get considerably long sometimes. So if you don't mind dining outside with the heat then do go there to try their laksa!

When my friends first introduced me to this place I was rather confused as to why we were dining at a place where a plate of ayam penyet dish would cost more than $7 when we could have gone to any other hawker centre which sells them at $4 or less. However the first bite I took of that dish really blew all my doubts away. It was one of the best ayam penyet I have ever tasted.The chicken was crispy and tender and moist. And the most attractive part about the dish was it's chili - which was spicy in a good way I think I'm becoming addicted to this place, and if the price is a little more affordable I'll confirm make it one of my regular hangouts.

Astons used to be and is still currently is one of my favourite "affordable dining places" with friends. Available in many malls, Astons offers meal combos that are not only affordable, but also value for money. My roomie and I head over to bugis+ astons and it was really crowded not only during lunch but also during dinner hours! We each decided to order their combo meals - my roomie ordered Fried Fish with fries and salad as sides, while I took the Black Pepper Chicken with mashed potato and mac & cheese as sides. One thing I just love about astons, is that this whole meal is just < $10 per pax!! Awesome right?
