Tiong Bahru Lien Fa Shui Jing Pau
This Shui Jing Pau (水晶包) was one of my must-haves whenever I visited the old Tiong Bahru Market decades ago.

Minced Pork Bros
The taste and noodle texture are on point but the noodle portion is really small. I need double of this!

Looking for comforting food that will fill your body and soul with warmth on a cold rainy day?
Qing Feng Yuan Fish Soup
Who says healthy food cannot taste good?
You don't have to give up your taste buds to eat healthily with this blue cod fish soup by Qing Feng Yuan at our Tiong Bahru FC.
The fish meat tends to be flaky due to the thickness it is sliced into but the meat is creamy and tasty. The Teochew-style soup looks plain but it is far from bland. A great comfort food that's easy on the tummy in this cold weather.

Bamboo Nasi Rendang
Cooking rice in bamboo pole is not uncommon in South-East Asia and amongst certain minority ethnic groups in China Yunnan Province. In most places, sticky or glutinous rice is used just like the popular Malay festive lemang that uses glutinous rice and coconut milk.
Lately, we heard about this new stall in Chinatown market selling Nasi Rendang cooked in bamboo and decided to check it out. We pre-ordered the Bamboo Nasi Rendang few days in advance as advised by the owner. True enough, the “Sold Out” sign was up even before the stall started operation when we arrived.

The rendang meat is tender and has a good depth and complexity of flavour. Each plate of the bamboo nas

Thailand Chicken Rice
This is @makoeats' current favourite "roasted" chicken rice which is served by a super friendly and hardworking single mother.
86 Lor Mee
I have lots of respect for the many immigrants who left their homelands and journeyed to this part of the world. Like our forefathers, they have shown hunger and drive to seek a better life in this new land. They work hard in search of new opportunities and many have turned to hawking in many of our food centres.
While most of them have introduced interesting dishes originated from their countries of origin, others have picked up skills to cook and mastered familiar local dishes that even we Singaporeans are proud of.
This relatively new Lor Mee stall at Beach Road food center is helmed by a Vietnamese lady who had never heard or tasted this popular gooey noodle until she came to Singapore years ago.
The Lor (gravy) gives off a balanced five-spice aroma. Combined with the minced garlic, black vinegar and chilli, it smothers the yellow flat noodle with multiple layers of flavours and shiokness. In addition to the usual ingredients like eggs, braised pork and Ngoh Hiang,
