Website: http://www.spize.com.sg/index.php


On New Year Day 2010, we went to this restaurant for supper and concluded that the MaMaMia Murtabak and Mee Goreng Pattaya was great.

Today, my dear and I had went to this restaurant again.

The standard for MaMaMia Murtabak and Mee G Pattaya remains great. Yum Yum :)

MaMaMia Murtabak @ $9.50 (inclusive of GST)





Mee G Pattaya @ $5.80
(inclusive of GST)






Ice Teh Cino (Grande) @ 3.50 (inclusive of GST)








This time round though, we avoid ordering the western food as the earlier experience shows that the westen food fare average only.

In conclusion, this is a good place for supper if you don't mind your waistline getting thicker. And yes, the
MaMaMia Murtabak and Mee Goreng Pattaya taste better than Jalan Kayu and Feng Seng. Yum Yum (^^)

面亭 Men-Tei Ramen

Address: 61 Robinson Road #01-01 Robinson Centre Singapore 068893
Opening Hours: Monday to Friday 11 am to 3 pm, 6 pm to 9.30 pm
Website: www.men-tei.com

Conveniently located nearly Boon Tat Street (Lau Pa Sat), the ramen @ 面亭 is a die-die must try. Dishes are limited to 4 types of Tonkotsu Ramen ranging from non-spicy to super spicy versions, Shio Ramen and Shoyu Ramen. There are other side-dishes such as Gyoza which we didn't try due to limited capacity of our stomach. hee!hee!

Noodles' texture is unique and totally absorbs the soup (difficult to describe the taste, your really need to try to know), literally 'melt in your mouth' tonkotsu, unique 'look', texture & taste of egg.

Conclusion: The 6 of us finished almost everything in the bowl leaving some room for 'something else' later.
So the answer is simple: You will regret if you don't try those ramen @ 面亭. No joke! :D
Yummy!Yummy!Yummy! all the way.

Good to the last drop! :D

Carl's JR's Texas Toothpick

Address: Carl's Jr's all over Sg!

New dish introduced by Carl Jr recently.
Excellent finger food to fill your hungry stomach... Seaweed covered under potatoes with a taste of spicy.
Shiok! Shiok!

The Eastern Restaurant 东方

Address: 176 Orchard Road #01-57 The CentrePoint Singapore 238843

This restaurant's 小笼包 is supposedly one of the better ones you can find in Sg. The  soup in the 小笼包 is tasty and fulfilling together with the vinegar and sliced-ginger, it is quite difficult not to go for another piece. Yum! Yum!

We also tried it's 麻婆豆腐 (Tofu with Spicy Sauce) which tasted alright but not spicy enough for me personally. Not much of a crowd even during lunch time during weekdays. 

Conclusion: Eat it when ONLY you have a strong urge for 小笼包. :D



Teochew Cuisine Restaurant (Blk 132 Bukit Batok West Ave 6)


This restaurant is definitely a NO-NO return for all of us.

First is the sourish crispy tofu they served (lucky they changed a new set for us but one piece still went inside my stomach -.-!), then it's the below-average Yam Paste with Ginkgo nuts that failed to meet the mark. The Imperial Pot, Claypot Chicken Dice and Vegetables are all average. Last but not least, the service quality is thumbs-down. So don't waste your time travelling to this place for good Teochew food, no chance that you will be satisfied. See photo below for our receipt for a meal for 5.
