Hungry Ghost

  RE&S, the F&B group behind   Kuriya Japanese Market, introduces Tsukimi Hamburg in Jurong Point. Each hamburg steak is handmade, following the golden ratio of US beef, pork and Miyazaki Wagyu beef. This combination ensures the optimal flavor and juiciness. Tsukimi Hamburg Don   [S$12.80] is the star of this restaurant. The hamburg steak sits on top of fluffy hitomebore rice from Tohoku, Japan. On top of the hamburg steak is grated daikon radish and Japanese egg airflown directly from Japan. The sweetness of the rice, the juicy hamburg steak, the refreshing daikon radish and creamy egg yolk all comes together to form this perfect bowl of donburi. If egg is not your thing, there are also other options such as Spicy Sakura Ebi Hamburg Don [S$11.80], Classic Hamburg Don [S$11.80], Wasabi Hamburg Don [S$11.80] and Spicy Nanban Miso Hamburg Don [S$11.80].

  Dong Bei Cai Guan 东北菜馆 is probably the most under-the-radar restaurant I have ever been to. I was looking for Northeastern Chinese (dongbei) restaurants in Bukit Batok and this restaurant keep popping up. So I decided to give it a try. Location This restaurant is located inside Midview Building in Bukit Batok industrial park. Midview Building is not near to any MRT station, the nearest bus stop only has bus 189. The best way to reach this place is by taxi or car. Once you reach Midview Building, go to the main entrance and take the passenger lift to third floor. After exiting the lift, turn left and walk all the way straight and you will reach Dong Bei Cai Guan 东北菜馆. The restaurant is very spacious with huge round wooden tables.   There is both indoor and outdoor seating and a huge television at the back blasting out Chinese songs. The Food Homemade   Skin Frozen 自制猪皮冻  [S$7] is a classic cold dish that I remember eating as a child. This is made by simmering pok sk...

  I had my first taste of Turkish cuisine at   Derwish   and it was such a delight. When Cappadocia Turkish Restaurant invited me for a food tasting, I accepted without hesitation. Decor In contrast to   Derwish’s grandiosity, Cappadocia’s decor is more contemporary and modern. One side of the wall is covered with iconic hot air balloons in Turkey. Iron patterned boxes frames elegant blue wall lights, casting a brilliant blue glow onto the tables below. I especially love the blue lamp hanging from the ceiling, they are so pretty. There are both indoor and outdoor alfresco tables and two huge televisions showing soccer matches. Soothing Turkish music in the background and lively atmosphere makes the restaurant feel more authentic than ever. The Food The   menu   at Cappadocia Tur Restaurant has beautiful photographs of every dish so you know exactly what you are getting. Meze Tabagi   [S$32.90] allows you to try four Turkish dips in one seating. There i...

It has been more than half a year since I last met up with Mariem and our meetup is long overdue. Mariem suggested we try out Tipo Gnocchi, a new concept store by the Tipo group. I remembered loving the handmade pasta at   Tipo Strada  so I believe I will be in good hands at the new Tipo Gnocchi. Gnocchi is a type of Italian dumpling. They are made of small lumps of dough most traditionally made of wheat flour, egg, salt, and potato. Location Tipo Gnocchi is located around 10-minute walking distance from  the Sultan Mosque in Kamping Glam. The restaurant is within walking distance from Jalan Besar, Rocher, Bugis and Nicole Highway MRT stations. Buses 7, 32, 51, 61, 63, 80, 145, 175 and 197 stop at the nearest bus stop. Decoration The restaurant is classy with shades of grey walls in contrast to wooden tables and black chairs. The minimalistic decor gives the place a touch of elegance. There is a seating capacity of around 30 and it's quite a popular restaurant so reservat...

  La Jiang Shan in 321 Clementi Mall takes   City Hot Pot’s personal hotpot concept to the next level. Not only do you get your own personal mini hotpot, you have your own mini barbecue grill too. Prices start from $18.80++ per adult, which is quite a reasonable price for free-flow hotpot and barbecue buffet. There are 9 choices of soup bases to choose from. There is an add-on of $2.80 for single and $4.80 for double soup bases. The choice of soup bases are spicy beef butter, mala, homemade fragrant, pig trotter, mushroom, Thai tom yam, herbal chicken and sour spicy soup. Each diner gets his/her own mini pot and grill with 2-tier metal shelve in between where you can put ingredients to share with your dining partner. You can pick hotpot ingredients from the chiller fridges but barbecue ingredients have to be ordered by scanning the QR code provided.

I noticed Tianfu Sichuan Restaurant 天府川菜 when I was on my way to   I'm Kim Korean BBQ & Shabu Shabu   the other day. I asked along a few spicy-lover colleagues and we checked out this restaurant together. This restaurant is located right besides the escalator in Grantral Mall. It's a little cramped inside the restaurant, the "outside" seats are slightly more spacious, as long as you don't mind seating next to the escalator. You can see Tianfu Sichuan Restaurant 天府川菜's full menu   here . Spicy Cumin Potatoes 孜然味土豆   [S$10/S$15/S$20] is perfect for those who love spicy food. I can definitely taste the cumin, as well as chilli and peppercorns which gives the dish a fiery kick. Claypot Eggplant with Salted Fish 咸鱼茄子煲   [S$12, S$18, S$24] is technically a Cantonese dish. There is just enough salted fish to give the dish a little saltiness while the hotpot keeps the eggplant sizzling hot. Sweet & Sour Pork Tenderloin 糖醋里脊   [S$12/S$18/S$24] is one of the ...
