I'm a massive chocolate lava cake lover with a love for desserts, so of course I had to try the chocolate lava cake at Haha Thai. The texture, temperature, and ooze-factor was perfect and the coconut ice cream complimented the flavors well. I really enjoyed that the cake was warm and soft, compared to more and more establishments that have hard exteriors and lava that is almost solid by the time it is served. A bit less sweet than the Red Velvet version, which is just nice for my tastes!

Tried the Tom Yum Talay in red soup the other day and everyone in the group liked it. The soup isn't as spicy or sharp as some of the more hardcore options in places like the Golden Mile, which is a good thing for most people as many aren't able to fully finish or enjoy that level of spice. Can't comment on the seafood as I don't like prawns, squid, or mussels - my fault for ordering I know, but really wanted to try the red soup. Overall a good choice to start off your meal.

The Lemongrass Steak sandwich ($12, or upsize to $16 as in the photo) was much better than I expected. This is some real quality beef with seriously awesome texture, not the sliced ham or roast beef crap you get from the likes of Subway. The bread was nice and crispy too.
The food, drinks, and especially staff at The Hangar are great. Would definitely give it 5 stars if not for the price, which seems to be a touch on the higher side (though to be fair, you're paying for quality).

I've been looking for a good Indian option in the area for about 6 months, so it was very exciting to hear about Yummy Punjaby just a few minutes away. The setting is very unassuming and casual, with no air conditioning though the open concept keeps it from feeling stuffy. The food is definitely good and value for money, with the Thursday butter chicken meal being a clear winner to me. They were also generous with the naan and rice. Will need to come back and try the other choices.

I know Aston's isn't anything new or special, but sometimes you have a craving for a decent steak that is somewhere between a hawker centre and a fine dining establishment, and Aston's scratches that itch very well. The Prime Ribeye meal ($17.90 w/ 2 sides) was obviously not as great as higher end establishments, but for the price was quite satisfying and noticeably better than hawker fare. Cheaper meals options (e.g. fish or chicken) are also available in the $10 range.

I never really ate Thai food that often in the past, but having such great choices just under my office has converted me to a big fan! The consensus favorite amongst my friends is Diandin Luluk, with our typical dishes being the green/red curry chicken ($12), pineapple rice ($12), tom yum soup ($12), and mango sticky rice ($6). Beware the food coma after stuffing yourself with all the delicious and flavorful food!

There is a little mini-hawker centre right next to the main 2-storey one, which houses a couple of stalls in a less crowded and hectic environment. One of these is an economical rice stall which always has my favorite dishes such as fish, crispy chicken, tofu, and leafy veggies. The food is always great, the servings are generous, and the price only runs about $4.50 - $5.50 depending on what you order.

The western food stall in the middle of the 2nd floor is quite good (the one closer to the CBD, as there are 2 right across from each other). Roughly $6-8 depending on what you order, the lamb and chicken are both good.

When I am in the need for something quick, light, or healthy (relatively speaking, as you can tell from my choice of toppings), SunMoon is always at the top of my mind. The $5.40 price point is unbeatable for a good salad with quality ingredients - being a fresh fruits company helps to ensure this. They are quite generous with the servings as well. Absolutely a top-tier value lunch option!

A lot of friends in the area frequently suggest lunch at Mrs. Pho, and for good reason - the pho here is excellent. You can get a fantastic bowl of pho and a unique drink for about $10, which will satisfy you just the right amount without making you feel bloated after lunch. The soup is light yet flavorful with a few condiments you can add if you need an extra bit of punch. My usual order is the special beef combo noodle soup ($8.90) with a homemade yogurt drink ($2).

I eat here probably once every 2 weeks or so. The burgers here are big, fresh, and satisfying, but something about the meat texture feels a bit more rubbery than it does juicy. Nevertheless, these are one of the better gourmet burgers in Singapore and I always enjoy having a meal here.

Went for after-work drinks tonight and found it to be quite a cool place. Very casual setting with friendly staff. We had a few rounds of London Pride beer ($13 per pint) and a cold cuts & cheese platter ($36) which were both very satisfying. Definitely a nice place to just chill out and have a good conversation with some friends.

Love coming to House of Kebab for a Friday treat. All of the meats are quite good, though the lamb sticks out as the best in my opinion - just the right mix of crispy, flavorful, and meaty. The meal at $12.90 with fries and a soda is a nice deal relative to similar options in the area. All around a great lunch in a very casual setting, though you may want to arrive before noon or after 1:00 / 1:30 PM to avoid a long line!

Had MexOut for lunch at the suggestion of the wonderful Lucy Miles and was very happy with the choice of venue. The variety of food and ingredients was excellent and everything looked fresh and clean. I got a rice bowl meal with a few add ons which quickly put me past the $20 mark, though in return I got a TON of food and was super stuffed afterwards. The carne asada is in strips of beef whereas I prefer the steak-cube style, but overall was a very good meal!

Love the vibe and decor at Dimbulah. Not a big coffee fan in general but their Strawberry Lolly drink is pretty fantastic!

I've been here once before and loved the vibe, atmosphere, and especially the food. Highly recommend the burratina cheese ball ($18) as well as the Secreto Iberico pork ($28), whereas the lamb rack ($36) was also good but didn't quite justify the price. Prices are on the high end relative to the serving size, but for an occasional treat I'd say definitely give Moosehead a try.

Almost everyone who has been to Bali knows and likes Potato Head, so there was a ton of buzz when they opened up a branch in Singapore. The atmosphere is definitely unique and the staff are great, though it gets very crowded after 6 to 7 pm - mostly with tourists and expats it seems. Prices are on the higher end as well, which is in line with their customer base. Overall a cool place to bring overseas visitors or to have an occasional drink.

A very nice and convenient way to get your burrito fix in the CBD, especially if you're already in the area. The cost is about $10-15 depending on what you get and what size, and the taste is quite good (though not the best I've had in Singapore). Overall I'd definitely recommend this if you're nearby and are craving a burrito - you won't be disappointed.

When I lived in California I would have Chipotle literally 2-3 times a week, so coming back to Singapore and not having anything like it was a big disappointment. Since Muchachos opened up, it has been my go-to place whenever the burrito craving kicked in. The food started off decent but not great, but over time I've noticed the quality of meat and ingredients has steadily improved and it is pretty damn good now. I'd say it is about 80-90% of Chipotle, which is the best I've had so far in Asia.

The laziji at Si Chuan Duo Hua is an excellent balance of crispy, tender, and flavor. You can definitely tell they put thought into the dish by not going overboard in any one area, though some may find the spiciness level a bit on the high side. Overall a fantastic dish at a great restaurant!
