I believe most of us have read that the government had pledged to build twenty new hawker centres in Singapore. Ci Yuan Hawker Centre, a 24hr hawker centre located in Hougang Avenue 9 is the first out of the twenty and it opened in August 2015.
Lao Beng finally had the chance to visit this hawker centre which is co-located in Ci Yuan Community Club one early evening. Read More
Want to eat tasty food and do good at the same time? Crossings Cafe along Waterloo Street is the answer.
Lao Beng and his mother visited Crossings Cafe for what would be the third time as my mother was craving for the Chicken Parmigiana we shared the last time round. Read More
The Char-Grill Bar signboard/logo always looks so familiar and that is because you had probably seen one in your neighbourhood as it has 20+ outlets in Singapore.
Well, Lao Beng chanced upon this particular outlet in a coffee shop located in Hougang Street 21 one evening. Seeing so many people browsing the gigantic menu made me decide to give it a try.
Lao Beng had been reading/seeing/hearing for sometime on Social Media, Radio and TV about McDonald’s new dining experience that allows you to build your own burger.
However, every time I went into a McDonald’s I always did not see this option available. I always thought to myself that it might be only available at some upmarket areas/neighbourhood of our small little country, Singapore.
Lao Beng eats hawker food most of the time but there will be occasions when he will also try out food in cafes and restaurants. This is especially so if he does not need to fork out a single cent. Yes, Lao Beng is a cheapskate.
My friend decided to treat me to lunch for returning a favour that I had helped in previously.
Arnold’s Fried Chicken, I have read/heard this name umpteen times be it online or with friends who say that they are the Singapore’s answer to Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).
Lao Beng happened to be around Hougang Green Shopping Mall and decided to check out the Arnold’s Fried Chicken outlet there. Like KFC, Arnold’s Fried Chicken has Halal certification as well. Read More
Apart from local hawker food, all of us like to have western food every now and then. What deters us is usually the high cost of eating western food, this is especially so if we eat in restaurants or cafes.
Thus it is a godsend that we have western food stalls in coffee shops and hawker centres in Singapore. Lao Beng was at Old Airport Road Food Centre on a late afternoon to check out the Western Food from a stall named Holy Grill. Read More
