Whatever your gastronomic desire or budgetary requirement, one thing for certain is that you won’t go hungry at KungFu Paradise. KungFu Paradise is a cheery café that offers a kaleidoscope of east meets west cuisines at friendly prices. Some of you may already be familiar with the Paradise Group which has restaurants such as Paradise Dynasty (with the colourful xiao long bao) under its wings. Compared to the other Paradise […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/kungfu-paradise/feed/ 5 https://sparklette.net/food/prata-wala/ https://sparklette.net/food/prata-wala/#comments Mon, 21 Feb 2011 06:29:43 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1084

Night owls on the prowl for places serving late night supper, mark down Prata Wala. This Indian eatery operates 24 hours daily at Jurong Point and remains open till late at Tiong Bahru Plaza as well as the new NEX Mall in Serangoon. The food and clientèle are decidedly casual, with the menu comprising of common Indian fares such as roti prata (pancake), naan and biryani (a rice dish cooked […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/prata-wala/feed/ 12 https://sparklette.net/food/tom-n-toms-coffee/ https://sparklette.net/food/tom-n-toms-coffee/#comments Thu, 01 Jul 2010 10:29:37 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=984

Fans of Korean drama shows and handsome Korean actors would be pleased to know that another Korean export has hit our shores, in the form of coffee. Boasting over 100 outlets in Korea, the Tom N Toms Coffee chain has arrived to grab a slice of the espresso coffee market in Singapore. While Korea isn’t exactly known for her coffee, our caffeine-loving population would certainly welcome an additional option to […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/tom-n-toms-coffee/feed/ 12 https://sparklette.net/food/resorts-world-sentosa-dining/ https://sparklette.net/food/resorts-world-sentosa-dining/#comments Sun, 24 Jan 2010 17:31:36 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=926

Update: The Dining Room is open only to Crockfords Tower Hotel guests. With all the buzz surrounding Resorts World at Sentosa, some of you may be looking to spend some time over here. Perhaps you are also curious about the dining options. What restaurants are there? Are they affordable? After watching movies like Ocean’s Eleven, casinos give me the impression of being brimming with tycoons and rich people that have […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/resorts-world-sentosa-dining/feed/ 23 https://sparklette.net/travel/malaysia/stevens-tea-garden/ https://sparklette.net/travel/malaysia/stevens-tea-garden/#comments Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:58:37 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=856

As I was strolling along the huge Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur, the sign from a brightly lit eatery caught my attention. It screamed, “Best teh tarik in the world!” (or something to that effect). The place is Steven’s Tea Garden, a mamak restaurant chain. As a teh tarik lover, I had no choice but to go in. Right? Okay, actually it’s really the cute sarong-wearing lunghi-clad guy at […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/malaysia/stevens-tea-garden/feed/ 7 https://sparklette.net/food/altazzag-egyptian-restaurant/ https://sparklette.net/food/altazzag-egyptian-restaurant/#comments Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:51:49 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=756

Tired of the usual Chinese, Japanese or Western cuisine? Well, I was feeling that way one afternoon and decided to go for something off the beaten track – Egyptian cuisine! Is there anything more otherworldly than that? I enjoyed this unique meal at Altazzag Egyptian Restaurant, hidden in one of the tiny streets of Kampong Glam.

And what a “fresh” experience this […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/altazzag-egyptian-restaurant/feed/ 13 https://sparklette.net/food/mr-teh-tarik-cartel/ https://sparklette.net/food/mr-teh-tarik-cartel/#comments Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:11:18 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/mr-teh-tarik-cartel/

Calling all night owls! If you’re looking for a nice supper place to grab some chow, you can visit Mr. Teh Tarik Cartel! As the name suggests, you can find teh tarik here plus a gazillion other drinks. There’s Milo Dinosaur, teh halia (ginger tea), various ice blended drinks, just to name a few. Read my earlier review on Mr. Teh Tarik Cartel to find out more about the drinks!

One of my favourite local delights is chicken satay (meat skewers), and it has to be the Muslim version. Somehow satay made by the Chinese just don’t seem to taste as good, perhaps due to a different use of spices. The best place to get good satay is probably Lau Pa Sat, where there is an entire street dedicated to satay stalls! Competition is fierce; satay sellers from the various […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/best-satay/feed/ 37 https://sparklette.net/food/station-kitchen/ https://sparklette.net/food/station-kitchen/#comments Fri, 09 Feb 2007 15:38:34 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/the-station-kitchen-3-in-1-restaurant/

St James Power Station is the clubbing hotspots in town. It has been refurbished from an old power station. And that’s not all. This power station is also Singapore’s first coal-powered power plant and was built in 1927! That’s quite a bit of history isn’t it? Located at the Sentosa Gateway and across from VivoCity, the largest shopping mall in Singapore, this formerly functioning power station is now home to […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/station-kitchen/feed/ 10 https://sparklette.net/food/zi-yean/ https://sparklette.net/food/zi-yean/#comments Thu, 20 Jul 2006 06:57:07 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=427

Despite its humble location at a quiet neighbourhood, Zi Yean Restaurant certainly does not have humble beginnings. It is run by Hong Kong-born chef Fok Wing Tin who made his name in the 1990s at Empress Room in Raffles Hotel and later Xin Cuisine Chinese restaurant at the Holiday Inn Atrium hotel. Occupying the entire ground floor of a HDB block in Lengkok Bahru, this brightly lit restaurant will not […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/zi-yean/feed/ 7 https://sparklette.net/food/niqqis-the-cheese-prata-shop/ https://sparklette.net/food/niqqis-the-cheese-prata-shop/#comments Wed, 05 Jul 2006 14:07:03 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=411

I have been missing Niqqi’s the Cheese Prata Shop ever since graduating from NUS. All NUS staff and undergraduates, especially the hostel residents, would no doubt be very familiar with the eatery. As it is open 24/7, this is a popular place to grab late night supper. When I paid a visit to NUS recently, I made use of the opportunity to pop by here for my favourite roti john.

Each time someone asks me to recommend a place for awesome grilled seafood, Rong Guang BBQ Seafood is the first (and only) name that comes to mind. And each time, the person would come back and thank me for my recommendation. Yes, that’s how good the food really is. I have been patronising the stall since 2003. Update: Note that this original stall has moved to Makansutra Gluttons Bay, and […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/rong-guang-bbq-seafood/feed/ 8 https://sparklette.net/food/sakae-sushi-buffet/ https://sparklette.net/food/sakae-sushi-buffet/#comments Sun, 05 Mar 2006 09:31:23 +0000

Sakae Sushi has a fabulous sushi buffet promotion going on. We were there last night and the all-you-can-eat buffet was only S$16++ per person. And it was inclusive of one red plate too! I love the salmon, love the unagi, love the fried scallop! I love the fried gyoza, love the fried tofu, love the fried crabsticks! Play the best friv games website.

I had a delicious meal of all my favourite food at Geylang last night, to celebrate my full recovery from flu and sore throat. In my opinion, the best foods in Singapore are still found at hawker centres. First there’s my favourite frog porridge from Sinma at Lorong 3. They always create the false impression that they are offering customers a great deal by selling their frogs with “buy 2 […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/geylang-dinner/feed/ 2
