Teo’s noodle ticks off all the right boxes when it comes to that and their aim is to serve up solid bowls of fishball minced meat noodles at wallet-friendly prices....
Chicken rice survives the endurance test in terms of being one of Singapore’s national favourites. There is no shortage of it being served hot, fragrant and tender for enjoyment but aside from the most convenient stall-next-door, it’s difficult to agree on which cook did it right—because many of them do. For Easties though, Jefri – The Original Botak Chicken Rice serves an interesting variation of the...

Inspirasi was one of those that many heaved a sigh of relief over when they reappeared with their signboard up a few weeks before the centre’s reopening. Established in 1970, the Inspirasi name is familiar to many and is the first name that comes...
Lor Bak (braised pork) is a dish that reminds many of us of our mums’ cooking. William Liou took inspiration from his mother’s recipe to set up Mr Lorbak. This man is a fourth-generation hawkerpreneur who gave up his white-collar profession and started out by selling lu rou fan (braised pork rice) as his only dish.
