Tajarin (Casa Tartufo)

Tajarin (Casa Tartufo) $34.00

Casa Tartufo, Scarlet Hotel, 33 Erskine Road

My favorite dish ever. Fresh seasonal black truffle from Italy, generously shaved over handmade Piedmont egg noodles. This is last-dish-ever sorta awesome!

Garlic soy Korean fried chicken (Woorinara)

Garlic soy Korean fried chicken (Wo... $20.00

We used to get this delivered to our place all the time. Such a sinful treat! The fried chicken's not at all greasy and it's still crispy even after getting coated in the sweet, gooey sauce.

Pineapple tarts (Glory)

Pineapple tarts (Glory) $19.00

One of our favorites during Chinese New Year. You can buy Glory pineapple tarts at the main shop at Katong or at pretty much any major NTUC Fairprice supermarkets. Some years they're a little off-form, but they're on point this year!

JAPANESE RAMEN (Ramen Tonkotsu Keisuke King)

JAPANESE RAMEN (Ramen Tonkotsu Keis... $10.00

1 Tras Link, Orchid Hotel #01-19

My favorite ramen joint in Singapore! It's a really customized experience because you can choose how light you want your soup to be and how much oil you want in there, and also how firm you'd like your noodles to be. I also like the smoky chashu (says a lot as I normally ...

Beef noodles (Scotts Hwa Heng Beef Noodles)

Beef noodles (Scotts Hwa Heng Beef ... $5.50

Ion Orchard Food Opera

This is a childhood favorite of mine. It used to be at the basement of Scotts food court and was such a treat for my sister and I, growing up. It tastes as awesome as it used to be, but it's a lot more expensive now! The dry version is the best!

Nasi Lemak (Selera Rasa)

Nasi Lemak (Selera Rasa) $5.50

Adam Road Food Center

Stood in line for a super long time for this and I don't even like nasi lemak lol. But it was totally worth it as Jabez and Aston gave it the thumbs up!

Prawn noodles (Hong Yuan Prawn Noodle)

Prawn noodles (Hong Yuan Prawn Noodle) $5.00

Bestway Building, Tanjong Pagar

Legit prawn noodles in a broth that's been stewed for 18 hours. This stall is opened by a friend of mine and his ex-commando buddies - another hawkerpreneur venture very worth supporting in Singapore!

S'mores pie with nutella ice-cream (Island Creamery)

S'mores pie with nutella ice-cream ... $5.00

Serene Center, Bukit Timah Road

The institution of my youth. When we were in school I t used to be really cool to go for ice-cream at Island (yes, the short form is the legit way to call it) and it still churns out the best ice-cream on the well, island! I love the nutella ice-cream and other flavors I ...

Sliced fish soup (Leng Kee Fish Soup)

Sliced fish soup (Leng Kee Fish Soup) $4.00

#02-192 Bukit Timah Food Centre

Very generous and fresh sliced fish steamed to perfection for a healthy meal. There isn't any fishiness at all and I really enjoyed the tasty broth with loads of preserved radish bits.

Fish maw ban mian (Top 1 Noodle House)

Fish maw ban mian (Top 1 Noodle House) $4.00

Beauty World Hawker Centre

We usually have to wait at least 20-30 minutes for our noodles every single time, but it's worth it. You can also choose prawns, meatballs or sliced fish to go with a wide choice of noodle types, all handmade and served perfectly al dente with none of the usual starchy te...

Black pepper crab (Hua Yu Wee Restaurant)

Black pepper crab (Hua Yu Wee Restaurant)

I prefer the signature salt-baked crab at Hua Yew's, but this was pretty yums nonetheless.

Gula Melaka pancakes (Revolution Coffee)

Gula Melaka pancakes (Revolution Coffee)

21 Media Circle, #01-03A

Gula Melaka is caramelized palm sugar that is very synonymous with many Malay and Peranakan desserts. Revolution Coffee has done an east-meets-west creation here and drizzled Gula Melaka syrup over pancakes. Yums!

Arrowroot chips

Arrowroot chips

Fried arrowroot chips, another Chinese New Year favorite! Technically, this version isn't from Singapore because my mom's friend got it in Malaysia, but it's easily available in many places around our little red dot at this time of year.

Kueh Lapis

Kueh Lapis

This literally means thousand-layer cake. And it is as challenging to make it as its name suggests. Every year, we get a whole kueh lapis cake from our neighbor upstairs during Chinese New Year, and honesty, she does a mean rendition of this Peranakan classic.

Lohei (Mayim Chinese Restaurant)

Yam cake

Yam cake

My grandma makes a mean version of this, but this is a popular breakfast option available at many hawker centers in Singapore. Chinatown food center on Smith Street has the best!

MUAH CHEE

MUAH CHEE

Rice flour mochi with ground peanuts. A super yummy snack you can pretty much find everywhere in Singapore.
