The Makansutra forum monthly dinners are a great way to discover and enjoy good cze-char restaurants. When I heard that the March dinner was going to be at Wo Peng, I knew it was going to be good. Crispy Fish Skin Hong Kong style - deep-fried eel skin accompanied with a superior stock dip (see bowl behind). The crackling fish skin is addictive enough on its own, but when … 
When I was given the chance recently to interview the guys from HungryGoWhere, I jumped at the chance. I like the site and think it's the best of the food-related user review sites out there. Plus the founders have remained a really nice bunch! Here are my quick and dirty dozen questions for them. 1. You get around 670,000 unique visitors a month. How many user reviews do … 
I have to post this. During my last Japan trip in 2007, we hunted high and low for Go!Go!Curry! in Shinjuku. We saw the signature yellow logo but for the oddest reason, could not find the right staircase or lift to go up. It was late and we were tired, so we abandoned our quest. Little did I expect the yellow Go! Go! Gorilla to come to Singapore. OK, this is what the … 
Bonchon is a Korean chain that's a hit in the U.S. A group of four friends (hence "4 Fingers") brought the franchise to Singapore. What caught my attention (besides the NYC subway style wall-tile decor) was the media attention it had garnered. In the U.S., Esquire and GQ lauded Bonchon as "best fried chicken" and The New York Times also did a feature on it. So now, is it … 
The heavens have opened up and I hear cherubs singing! Supremely moist, dense and sticky - all the qualities I have been looking for in sticky date pudding...found! If anything, this one probably over-delivered in these respects. And as if that's not decadent enough, the warm pudding comes with a gob of buttercream and creamy (real) vanilla ice cream, and then the whole thing … Most Popular Pings
Chai Chee Noodle Village Bak Chor Mee, originally uploaded by Camemberu. This is the famous Chai Chee Noodle Village bak chor mee, with 14 outlets islandwide (six of which are open 24-hours, the rest in food court locations). They boast 18 ingredients in their soup, including old hens, white turnips and luncheon meat. I'm not their biggest fan but sometimes it's a …
Creamy chendol ice-cream, originally uploaded by Camemberu. Gorgeous pictures on Amandalwh's blog inspired me to concoct my own ice-cream. No ice cream maker required! After a successful trial batch on plain vanilla, I decided to try a flavour I really like. Chendol! Well, technically, this should be called Gula Melaka-Coconut ice cream, since it contains none of the green …
Ayam Penyet - flattened fried chicken, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Ayam penyet - that Indonesian flattened fried chicken that seems to have taken Singapore by storm. Personally, I'm not a big fan, even though the concept appeals to me. My few encounters with it so far have been disappointing. From Ayam Penyet Ria in Lucky Plaza which left a grease-laden anchor in my …
Since I have accummulated over 250 food-related posts, I thought it'd be fun to add a "Feeling Lucky" random post generator on the top left of the sidebar. It's simple but nifty. From phydeaux3. Take a spin and see what you get!
Philips demo of Ambilight and Ambisound features, originally uploaded by Camemberu.I have an interesting post today. Got an invite to a bloggers breakfast hosted by Philips Electronics. The event showcased "next generation high-definition and fully inclusive high-fidelity surround audio" movie and gaming experiences, based on Philips' new range of HDTV and audio products. …
