Founder Bak Kut Teh Restaurant

ED: There are numerous varieties of bak kut teh with its cooking style closely influenced by the prevailing Chinese enclave of a certain geographical location. (In case you’re wondering why some bak kut teh soups are so dark in colour where as others are pale) In Singapore, there are three types of bak kut teh. The most common variety is the Teochew style, which is light in color and uses more pepper in the soup. The Hokkiens, who prefer saltier food, use more soy sauce, which results in a darker coloured soup. The Cantonese with a soup-drinking culture would add medicinal herbs hence creating a stronger herb flavoured soup. Which is personally my favourite type cause I don’t really like over peppery soups. But after trying Founder Bak Kut Teh, my allegiance to the Cantonese was swayed.

Pizza Memoirs (Advertorial)

ED: Pizza Memoirs is located at The Foundry, where its it home to the most creative and interesting hand crafted pizzas. Its alfresco seating is perfect for chilling after a drilling day at work or school and to enjoy delicious pizzas in your slippers and shorts. Its also an interesting place as you can enjoy 3 other types of cuisines like Western, Indian and Mexican as they house 3 other stalls- The Better Burger, Tiffin North Indian and Tomatillos Mexican. Although honestly I would end up ordering burgers or pizzas every time I stop by.

IKEA Restaurant & Cafe (Tampines)

ED: IKEA needs no introduction for sure as for some reason everyone seems to like IKEA. Yeh its a pretty great place to take the kids out, to walk around(in fact maybe you could even do a 2.4km jog there) or for some serious hardcore budget furniture shopping. But lets cut the crap and be honest you people go to IKEA partly, or mainly for the cafe food! Which I don’t really quite understand why! You people love it so much, you would probably celebrate if your IKEA-bought chair collapsed under your a*s because its a good excuse to visit IKEA, again! So you make your way down to replace the broken chair with the exact same one and order yourself a plate of 20pcs Swedish Meatballs.

132 Mee Pok

ED: The digits 132 have a very special place in my heart, but only when followed up with 2 words, “Mee Pok”. Since the day I discovered 132 Mee Pok at a tender age, I fell in love, and made a life long commitment to this Mee Pok. 132 Mee Pok was practically my staple diet growing up when they were located at a coffee shop in Kembangan where one has to queue from a minimum of 30 minutes to 2 HOURS at that time! The legend is true so you know. But still I had to eat it few times a week.

The Hand Burger (313 @ Somerset)

ED: The Hand Burger serves the gourmet burgers crafted from the freshest and finest ingredients such as New Zealand grass-fed prime beef patties, a range of home made sauces and home made buns! Yes everything at The Hand Burger are made by HAND. Credits to that. So naturally I was drawn to this joint.
