We love our roasted meats; roasted duck, roasted pork, char siew, you name it. It is a type of food that is appropriate regardless of occasion; it could be a simple lunch, a dish we add into our Chinese New Year feast or part of our Christmas platter. It is a simple, yet hard to do-it-right kind of dish because it requires good...

Tucked away in the corner of the centre stall of the Kopitiam at Tampines Mall, they’re almost too...
Makanista is a local dining place located in Tampines Mall. If you were to just walk by, Makanista would seem like an ordinary food court. They serve a range of typical food court delights such as Western food, yong tau foo, chicken rice, prata and desserts. However, upon closer inspection, one would see that in addition to the typical food served, Makanista has added their...
The Japanese takoyaki needs no further introduction—this delightful wheat-based snack can be found at many food stands and Japanese restaurants in Singapore. Given how ubiquitous takoyaki is, it is almost impossible to imagine that a food establishment is able to rise to fame by specialising only in that. But here comes Yummy Takoyaki—a halal takeaway stall in East Village opposite...
