ieat writes: Roast Duck $32 eachFans of Fatty Ox Hong Kong Roast Duck can rejoice that their favourite Hong Kong Roast Meat man is back after a one and a half year hiatus.Unlike some other stalls whose "comeback" is claimed by a relative or an ex-employee of the place, this one is a proper return to the pugalistic world (Chuang3 Hui2 Jiang1 Hu2) of the famed roaster, Fatty Ox. The last time I met Mr Fatty Ox was just before he closed his shop at Murray Street. Since then Mr Cheung, who is neither fat nor bears any resemblance to an Ox (The only truth in the stall name is ... read more

ieat writes: A5 Matsuzaka Beef Steak 270g 12,800 YenUp till last month, my gastronomic holy grail had been to partake of the legendary Matsuzaka beef in Japan. I alluded to this when I was interviewed by Teo Pao Lin in the Straits Times last year when she asked me what my last meal would be. Now, in my post-Matsuzaka state, I have to reset my culinary sights on my next holy grail which is to have a meal at El Bulli.When I found out that I had the opportunity to visit Tokyo last month, the very first thought that came to mind was to find the best place ... read more

ieat writes: Pizza Bianca $24.90 12 inch (Pizza Night every Tuesday, 10 inch pizza $12.90)Now, I am sure everyone here knows about the Hungrygowhere website right? Well, I had the opportunity to work with the boys from Hungrygowhere recently on the Heritage Hawkers project. During one of our lunch sessions I casually asked Hoongy the $64K question: "Ay, so tell me, you've been eating at all the best restaurants in Singapore for almost two years, Hungry REALLY Go Where?"His answer was really quite unexpected. Rather than spewing out the names of some of the really well known restaurants in Singapore, the first restaurant he mentioned was ... read more

ieat writes: With DamienSteamed Lohti with Peanut Butter 50 cents per sliceNostalgia is a precious commodity in Singapore. In our fast paced society where "Land is Scarce" most places only have a limited lifespan. So you are not likely to find the old oak tree where grandpa was supposed to meet grandma and run away together. A lot of the significant spots that Amagada and I fondly remember from our dating days have either been renovated or demolished altogether. Heck, even SM Goh's old dating hotspot, the National Library, is no more.Bread steaming over pot of boiling waterSo when ... read more

ieat writes: Jo Rosu Katsu (Special Pork Sirloin Tonkatsu) 1600 yenFor Tonkatsu, we made our way off the tourist route to the town of Meguro where there is a famous Tonkatsu restaurant called Tonkin. However, according to my internet research, there is a smaller restaurant which the locals favour called Tenshin which sounded more interesting to me. Rumour has it that the restaurant is run by the wife of the chef who can be quite a Food Nazi, so I might not be able to take any photos. Shudder.....I always had the impression that Japanese society is one where the women are being ... read more

ieat writes: A big thank you to all readers who came down to support the inaugeral Heritage Hawkers' Fair which was jointly organized by Hungrygowhere and the National Heritage Board with the help of ieatishootipost.During the fair, I met some members of the National Heritage Board and suggested that they should really make a concerted effort into trying to preserve some of these well known and well loved Hawker Names. I am sure we'd all love to be able to continue to taste the original recipes of our Heritage Hawker foods rather than just seeing them displayed in an exhibit somewhere! Hopefully something ... read more

ieat writes: Pan Fried Chicken Breast wrapped in ProciuttoWith all the financial doom and gloom being reported in the news daily, a lot of people are making the extra effort to look for great deals. So much so that we even have a thread in the forum for people to share information on great deals called "Hang Cheng Pai Lobangs", hence the title for today's post.For the benefit of those who don't understand the above phrase, which is a typical Singaporean fusion of Hokkien and Malay words, "Hang Cheng Pai" means "Bad Situation" in Hokkien and "Lobang" literally means a hole in Malay. But how can a "hole" help ... read more

And even more delightfully surprised that it tasted so shiok!The Pork Ribs, more accurately Pork Chops were wonderfully tender with a melt in your mouth quality about it. But ... read more

ieat writes: AdvertorialWe all know the importance of the blood bank in Singapore and I am sure a lot of us wouldn't mind giving blood. But usually the thing that holds us back is the lack of opportunity as well as the fear of the needle.Well, one good way of overcoming this is to rally a couple of friends together and do it as a team effort. Safety in numbers is still quite a strong survival instinct, so when you go with others, it is usually less daunting and a lot more fun.To make it even more fun, Nuffnang is organizing the first bloggers ... read more
