Singapore

Spicy Roasted Mushroom Garlic Linguine
superfinefeline writes: Dim Sum Dolly, Nibble & Scribble, Skinny Epicurean and I met for a late lunch over the weekend at Cedele, Wheelock Place. I had suggested Cedele as its been a while since I last ate there, plus I had a slight craving for pancakes. Spicy Roasted Mushroom Garlic Linguine @ S$12.90++Your choice of pasta tossed in aglio olio sauceI was famished (as usual) and was aching for savoury carbs. I ordered a Spicy Roasted Mushroom Garlic Linguine. The linguine was overdone and was disappointing in terms of texture because of the ... read more


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


Sushi Tei @ West Coast Plaza

Singapore

keropok man writes: Three colleagues have gone to recce (or reconnaissance) the newly refurbished and renamed "West Coast Plaza". They saw a few restaurants opened for business and told us, we found a new place to eat. We will go next week.So the next week arrived. (ie few days ago) I got an early morning SMS to remind me to bring my Sushi Tei card. A colleague had $40 worth of vouchers and with the Sushi Tei card we can get another 10% off.Ah. West Coast Plaza looks different. But there's still hint of the old Ginza Plaza all around. If your memory's good, you can remember which shops were in which lots too. :-)The manager ... read more


Mondo Mio Japanese Italian

Singapore

Antipasto
camemberu writes: I like Japanese-style Italian, so I was naturally curious about Mondo Mio ("My World"), which has roots in Japan, with sister restaurants Piccolo Mondo ("Small World") in Osaka and Kobe. Mondo Mio is a casual little eatery offering Southern Italian cuisine, which leans more towards the use of olive oil than butter.We saw very value-for-money S$12 set lunches (soup/starter, main, dessert, coffee/tea) but opted to go a la carte. Our antipasto (small, S$12) comprised this mix above. Smoked salmon, ham, potatoes, chickpeas, greens, asparagus, melon slices and some really great olives and pickles on skewers. A good deal but I can't help thinking ... read more


All I Want For Christmas Is…

Singapore

Jolie's two front teeth are peeping out!
camemberu writes: It's December already! What do you really want for Christmas? Time to daydream and have a fun poll (see right sidebar).LG recently did a light-hearted survey in six countries to find out what people really want for the holiday season. About 650 Singaporeans participated. Results?* A vacation was ranked top gift, followed closely by latest electronic gadget.* More people preferred to spend time with Santa Claus than the President of the United States (maybe they should have put President-elect!), the Queen of England or the Pope.* Brad Pitt trounced Orlando Bloom and David Beckham as celebrity most wanted for under-the-mistletoe kisses. Jessica Alba beat Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman for those honours.* Most ... 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


Dinner @ Aunt’s Kitchen

Singapore

keropok man writes: Every other weekend or so, the whole extended family will meet at Aunt's place for dinner. Aunt and her sis will whip up some dishes for the rest of us to enjoy. I have not taken food photos at her kitchen for some time, and this is last weekend's dinner. :-)The pork leg and sea cucumber dish. It was served in two bowls. One bowl with all the lean meat.The other bowl with the 'fattier meat'. LOL.Everyone in the family got own preference.With a bottle of her homemade sambal sauce ready, cooking the sotong dish is easy. Just have ... read more


Sri Sujana Nasi Lemak

Singapore

kensongs writes: Changi Village is well-known for its nasi lemak, not one but three stalls. Besides the famous International nasi lemak, two other stalls Mizzy's Corner and Sri Sujana have found their way into the Makansutra forums and stolen some customers from the long queue of International.I have intended to have International nasi lemak but it was closed on a Saturday night, so I settled on Sri Sujana instead.The standard chicken nasi lemak set which costs $3, comes with a fried chicken wing, a fried egg and ikan bilis. Adequately coated with a layer of coconut milk, every grain of rice has a distinctive aroma and ... read more

EAT at Centrepoint

Singapore

Bak chor mee
camemberu writes: Ah some food at last! I forgot to post this earlier. This was right after the Bobby's Christmas set menu food-tasting session, which left us still ravenous since the portions were merely bitesize tasting portions. Southernoise and I went looking for more food nearby, but most good places like Noodle House Ken had closed for the afternoon. We ended up at a cheap eat. Well, it's called EAT, literally. The bak chor mee (above, S$4.30) was decent. Good for non-fussy, hungry people who want food fast!... read more
