Salted Egg Crab |
Restaurant: Most Chinese restaurant selling crabs
Location: ---
Price: $30 and above
To be honest anything cooked with salted egg is automatically uber awesome. It's just even better with crab cos you get to lick it all over the shell. XD |
|
Spicy Ramen |
 |
Restaurant: Ippudo
Location: Level 4 of Mandarin Gallery @ Orchard Rd
Price: ~$20
I'm not a fan of Japanese ramen and I've only ever tried this once, but I sure liked it =) There's not much in it though, just noodles, minced pork and soup. |
|
Mango Sago |
 |
Stall: Ah Chew Dessert
Location:
Liang Seah St @ Bugis
Price: $3+
Best mango sago in all of Singapore. |
|
La Mien |
Restaurant: Paradise Dynasty

The only place I'd actually bother to have Chinese ramen. I love the soup...!!! Sorry I don't know the full real name of the dish. |
|
Lasagne |

Price: $12++
Creamy with a Singaporean flavor. |
|
Prawn Mee |
 |
Stall: (Dunno the name)
Location:
Red Hill food court
Price: $3~4
I never liked prawn noodle, but this one's actually good cos of the soup. The prawns are also big and de-shelled. |
|
Katsu Curry Rice |
Restaurant: Lai Lai
Location: Bugis area
Price: $8++
Japanese curry can be so addictive sometimes, even if the katsu (fried pork) is unsatisfying half the time. |
|
*Super Fav* Lamb Chop |
Stall: Kallang Western Food
Location: Bedok Central food court
Price: $6.5
In my opinion, the BEST lamb dish in Singapore next to Liu Da Ma @ Geylang (see below). The chewiness and the chili sauce is what makes it so unique. |
|
Beef Noodle |
 |
Restaurant: Just Asia (???)
Location: Iluma, etc
Price: $7.9++
This pic looks so darn unappealing, I know, but it's actually nice! LOL. I don't quite remember what's so nice but it just is. The meat is fat and chewy while the noodle is nice by itself with the sauce. =) |
|
Iced Mango Dessert |
 |
Stall: (Dunno the name)
Location:
ABC foodcourt @ Alexander Road
Price: $2
A sinful dessert, but damn nice nevertheless. Basically sweet mango with ice and condensed milk. =D |
|
Baked Chicken Leg |
Restaurant: IKEA food court
Location: Bukit Merah, Tampines
Price: $8
The chicken leg is actually quite okay. I like it enough but it's not the best thing in this dish. Instead, it's the mashed potatoes @_@!! For some reason it's just really REALLY GOOD!! I didn't know mashed potatoes could taste so different at all!! |
|
Chocolate Croissant |
Store: Petit Provence

|
Chicken Noodle & Es Teler |
 |
Stall: Es Teler 77
Location:
Cineleisure basement, Payah Lebar

The only Indonesian food I've actually bothered to go for in Singapore. I actually like it lots! Simple but yummy! |
|
Gindara Set |
Restaurant: Ichiban Boshi
Location: Parkway Parade, Suntec, Esplanade, CenterPoint, etc
Price: $22
Everything in this set is nice! Well okay the cold tofu is average and the mushroom/egg rice is sliiightly bland but the gindara (fish) is awesome! However, if you fancy nothing else in this set but the gindara, I would recommend ordering the gindara side dish at MOF (Ministry of Food @ Bugis Junction) instead. That one's even better. =D But it's also the only tasty dish at MOF altogether. |
|
Spicy Lamb |
Restaurant: Nabins
Location: Arab street near Bugis
Price: $17
It was a friend who ordered this so I didn't get the chance to try the whole thing but a bite of the lamb is enough for me to say it's good! It may seem expensive for a few pieces of meat and bread but the best thing about Nabins is that the setting is AWESOME. Your table is practically a bed (with pillows!) and you can sit on it however way you want with your shoes off. It's very comfortable, you could literally sleep right there! |
|
Quesadilla |
 |
Restaurant: Chili's
Location: Tanglin Mall, Sentosa
Price: $20
My favorite Mexican dish!! Love, love, love it!!! The one only problem is that it costs a lot. Believe or not it's an appetizer on the menu, though it's got the portion of an entree. |
|
*Super Fav* 烧烤 BBQ Meat on a Stick |
 |
Restaurant: Liu Da Ma
Location:
Geylang Lor 12
Price: 80¢ per stick
You'd eat sooooo many sticks of meat here you prolly can't shit them out the next day. XD!! It's that good!! And it's so cheap!! The seasoning they use is so mouth watering!! Personally I recommend the beef and lamb sticks; they're my favorite. XD!! |
|

Laksa Yong Tau Fu |
 |
Stall: The yong tau fu store at Bugis Junction

 |
Stall: Certain fruit stores (gotta try your luck)
Location: ---
Price: ~$7 for 3
This is my #1 favorite fruit in the world. This mango's specifically from Indonesia and it's very sweet and prominent in taste, which makes it SO MUCH MORE tasty than any other mango in the world. Unfortunately, it's not always available in Singapore any time. |
|

|
Mushroom Beef Steak (?)
|
 |
Restaurant: ???? (The western food stall)
Location: Marina Square foodcourt
Price: $8~10
The first time I had this it was nice, but after that the steak got really salty. I'm not sure if it's still as good today, but right now I'd recommend Astons' steak over any other steak. =D So I'm scratching this off the list. |
|
Nasi Briyani |
 |
Restaurant: Some hawker centers (?)
Location: Bedok, etc
Price: $4
I've only had nasi briyani (Indian dish) at the hawker center across the road from my work place but it's really good! Lucky me and all the people who work/live around there! The curry and chicken is really nice and it's so filling it's actually sinful. >_<! It's cheap too, only $4~ |

 |
Stall: Gindaco
Location: ION basement 4
Price: $5 per box (6 takoyaki)
The old pic to the left is from Takopachi and not Gindaco, but basically they're octopus balls/dumplings. Those they sell at Gindaco are much, much nicer than anywhere else. You'll never wanna eat any other brand once you've tried Gindaco. |
|
Black Pepper Beef Chop |
 |
Restaurant: Hong Kong Cafe
Location: Bugis
Price: $15~17
I've only had this once but it was so good I ate the entire dish clean, despite the usual habit of restricting myself from eating a lot for dinner! However, the second time I went there the beef chop isn't as nice, altho' the fries are still great. |

Mochi Icecream
|
 |
Store: Beard Papa Sweets

I loved this... until I'm convinced they turned yucky. I gave it 3 chances but 3 times it failed me. Eventually, though, it got better.... and then the shop stopped selling it altogether, hence the reason it's off this list... =( |

A must to order when I go for dimsum! Dimsum-style pork ribs taste different from the porb rib dishes so it has to be order at a dimsum restaurant. But if I were to compare, the champagne pork ribs from Por Kee (see below) is definitely better. |
