A staple for many since decades ago, we admit that finding yourself a decent fried carrot cake to kickstart your day with isn’t difficult to find here Singapore but to find one that isn’t overly greasy coupled with an insanely generous pour of sweet dark sauce is a bit of a rarity. Thankfully, on one of our recent trips to...
What differentiates memorable chicken rice from a forgettable one is well-cooked chicken, fragrant chicken rice, and sharp and spicy chilli.
