Swee Heng Wantan Mee
I was at Chomp Chomp Food Centre today for dinner. I decided to have Wantan Mee from this stall called Swee Heng Wantan Mee. I ordered a plate of Wantan Mee for S$3.80. The doneness of the noodles was just nice, not too soft nor too hard. The chilli sauce goes well with the noodles and brings out the flavour of the Wantan Mee. The noodle was absolutely fantastic but the char siew was kindof tough and would be better if it was a a little more charred and thinly sliced. Overall, I find that it's still one of the better Wantan Mee around.

Koung's Wan Tan Mee
I was around Geylang and had a craving for Wantan Mee. I decided to head down to Lorong 21A Geylang along Sims Avenue to have my Wantan Mee at this stall called Koung's Wan Tan Mee. This stall was previously located at Lorong 13 Geylang and before shifting to the current location. I ordered a bowl of Wantan Mee with extra noodles and chilli for S$4.50. They add lard in the noodles making it more fragrant but I think they added a little too much lard making it kindof oily. However, the chilli sauce goes well with the noodles and the char siew is nicely roasted till it's lean and tasty. The sweetness of the char siew makes the whole dish complete. Not forgetting the soup, it is filled with the goodness from the dumplings, is tasty and not bland like some Wantan Mee soup. Although it's kindof oily, I think it's one of the better ones out there

San Yuan Vegetarian
Heard about this San Yuan Vegetarian Food at Clementi West Food Centre. Decided to check the stall out. I noticed that there was a long queue at this stall. I ordered a bowl of Lor Mee Hoon. I'm not a fan of Vegetarian Food but this Lor Mee Hoon sure tastes good. The Lor Mee Hoon consist of ingredients like mock meat, fried tau kee, bean sprouts and chilli. The secret lies in their sauce, it's tasty and when I added black vinegar into the Lor Mee Hoon, the taste was appetising and very delicious. This is definitely one of the best Vegetarian Lor Mee I have ever tasted.

Soon Heng Fish Ball Noodle
Today I decided to make my way to Clementi West Food Centre to have my all time favourite Fishball Noodles at this stall called Soon Heng Fishball Noodle. This stall has been around for more than 20 years and it is one of the best in the west area I can think of. There is always a queue at this stall and the waiting time ranges from 20 to 45 minutes. As usual, I joined the queue to order a bowl of Fishball Noodles with extra noodles and chilli for S$3.50. Something different about the noodles is that you cannot find any other ingredients except a bowl of fishballs and noodles garnished with spring onions, lard and chilli sauce. The doneness of the noodles is just nice, not too soft or too hard and it goes well with their homemade chilli sauce. The fishball is small but bouncy and fresh. The only thing I find could be improved is the amount of oil in the bowl of noodles. This could be due to the lard. However, the oiliness usually does not affect me much because I always ask for more noodles. With more noodles, the amount of oil is seemingly reduced. If you are the kind that will ask for more noodles or if you do not mind it somewhat oily, this is definitely one of the better Fishball Noodles around.

Guan Kee Fried Kway Teow (源记)
If you ask me for the the best Fried Kway Teow, I would say it is this stall at Ghim Moh Food Centre called Guan Kee Fried Kway Teow. This is one of the best and my all time favourite Fried Kway Teow that you must definitely try. There is always a queue at the stall and the average waiting time estimated is about half an hour. I had craving for it that day and as usual I would join the queue and ordered a plate of Fried Kway Teow for S$3.00. The Kway Teow is delicious and the taste is just right, not too salty or sweet. The lard makes the kway teow fragrant and tasty. The stall owner has mastered the art of controling the fire and amount of sauce that needs to be added. This is the most important culinery skill when it comes to frying kway teow. The Fried Kway Teow has ingredients like cockles, vegetables, bean sprouts, chinese sausages, fish cake, lard and eggs. One thing special about this Fried Kway Teow is that you will not find it 'gelard' as there are lots of vegetables and bean sprouts to give it that crunchy taste. You must try it for yourself to believe, this stall is definitely not to be missed.

Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House (林成利鴨飯餐室)
If you ask me where the best Braised Duck Rice or Porridge in Singapore is, I would recommend this Braised Duck Rice located along South Buona Vista Road called Lim Seng Lee Duck Rice Eating House. This not only my childhood favourite but they serve the best Braised Duck I have ever tasted. I had craving for Braised Duck Porridge today and decided to go there for dinner. I ordered the Braised Duck, Stir Fried Kang Kong and Porridge. The duck is being deboned and the meat is thinly sliced. The secret lies in the special braised gravy that is poured over the duck to make the dish complete. The gravy not only makes the duck even more tastier but its sweetness and rich flavour complements the porridge very well. You can always ask for another bowl of gravy if you don't get enough of it from the plate of duck, The Stir Fried Kang Kong is a simple dish fried with lots of pounded dried shrimps. It tastes like home cooked food. This is one Braised Duck not to be missed.

Min Nan Pork Rib Prawn Noodle
I was at Tiong Bahru Market and Food Centre for dinner today. I decided to order from my favourite Prawn Mee stall called Min Nan Pork Rib Prawn Noodle. This stall might be familiar for some of you, they were shown on the variety show on Channel 8 called Buzzing Cashier. As usual, I ordered my favourite Pork Rib Kway Teow Dry with Chilli. The pork rib is nice and tender, even the fat melts in your mouth. The lard and chilli makes the kway teow taste extremely delicious. Not forgetting the fried spring onions, bean sprouts and kang kong that added more variety of texture to the this dish. This is one stall not to be missed if you happen to be around the vicinity.

Dean's Cafe Live Seafood
I was having dinner today at Dean's Cafe Live Seafood. This place has became a hotspot for reasonable and good seafood. I ordered a Crispy Duck, Stir Fry "Nai Bai" Cabbage, Tofu and Bee Hoon with Gravy. As the place was packed with many people, it took about 45 mins for the first dish to be served. For the Crispy Duck, the skin was very crispy indeed. The Tofu was silky and smooth covered with gravy. The gravy has seafood like prawns, sotong, green peas, carrots and eggs. The Stir Fry "Nai Bai" Cabbage is fresh and crunchy. Lastly, the Bee Hoon is tasty especially with the gravy adding more flavour to the Bee Hoon. Overall the total bill come up to S$46.00. Heard that the Crab Bee Hoon and Chai Por Hor Fun is also one of the highly recommended dishes you must try. If you are looking for good seafood at reasonable prices, you can check out this place.

Kyo-Nichi Japanese Ramen (Marina Square)
I was at Marina Square today for lunch. I decided to have Ramen at this place called Kyo-Nichi Japanese Ramen. This is one of the Top 10 Ramen in Singapore. One of the uniqueness of the Ramen here is the collagen in the soup base. I ordered one Standard Char Siew Ramen, Spicy Char Siew Ramen and a plate of Char Siew. The Standard Char Siew Ramen is served in richly flavoured collagen soup and the texture of the noodles were just nice. The Char Siew is delicious and will melt when you put it in your mouth. The Spicy Char Siew Ramen is also rich in flavour like the Standard Char Siew Ramen but the only difference is that it has added chilli oil that adds more flavour to the noodles if you like it spicy. As for the Char Siew, the pork is thinly sliced and even the fat melts in your mouth. This is definitely one of the best Ramen I have ever tasted. This is one Ramen not to be missed.
