A Decent Yet Fulfilling Meal At The Chicken Rice Shop

In this post, I would like to share my makanperience at one of the most available restaurant in Singapore, The Chicken Rice Shop.

The first time I came across The Chicken Rice Shop was in Malaysia. My first time entering The Chicken Rice Shop in Singapore was at Vivocity more than 5 years ago. For the list of outlets, you can find it at the end of this post.

I went to the outlet at Causeway Point. There weren't that many people there so it was quite a good place for a family with 2 young girls and a pram.

Delicious Duck At Dapur Penyet

On every Eid, I always look forward to eat my aunt's lontong and rendang. Her rendang is no ordinary rendang. It's duck rendang.

I remembered the first time I had a taste of duck meat was more than ten years ago. I was passing this stall at Mackenzie and decided to give its duck rice a try. It was terrible.

A few years later, I tried another duck rice from another restaurant. It was not to my liking. After a series of disappointments, I concluded that maybe duck was not my thing. Maybe, it was just my taste buds way of saying no to duck meat.

And I also concluded that maybe the spices used in my aunt's duck rendang is more my kind of thing.

One fine afternoon, my wife and I went over to Centrepoint Metro as there was a sale there and my wife wanted to buy some 'high tech machine' for her baking. Centrepoint was under some major renovation at that time and the number of eateries was rather limited, especially the halal eateries.

There were 2 restaurants opened for business on that day. One was Desa Kartika and the other was Dapur Penyet.

I've tried Desa Kartika and you will get to read about it on a different post. At that time, I think there was a wedding reservation at Desa Kartika and so we decided to try the other restaurant, Dapur Penyet.

The GreaThai Restaurant - The Thai Styled Steamed Fish Specialist

These days, we have so many restaurants selling Thai food. One of the common dishes of a thai cuisine is non-other than Tom Yum. I have eaten tom yum on many occassions but it was only recently I learnt that there are two types of tom yum...

I went to the GreaThai restaurant for lunch and I realised that there are two types of tom yum soup; red and white. I asked the waitress and according to the waitress, the red variety contains coconut milk and both are just as spicy.

Kookie Krumbz - Freshly Baked Cookies That Is Simply Worth The Wait!!

I love cookies, especially if it fresh from the oven. I love the sweet aroma that is lingering in the air once that oven is opened. It really teases the tastebuds. One of the common place we get cookies from is Famous Amos. Recently, I have found another cookie bakery that, to me, serves better cookies.

Seafood By The Sea Revisited - Rasa Istimewa Woodlands Waterfront Restaurant

In Singapore, we are really blessed with tonnes of good food. Having a small local market did not seem to stop budding foodpreneurs from whipping their specialty to the market. However, one of the main issues that bug customers big time is drop in standard; service standard, quality of food, taste and the list goes one.

So it is important that food bloggers make a return visit just to see where the standards lie.

This week, my wife and I decided to dine at Rasa Istimewa Woodlands Waterfront Restaurant. While we were walking on the jetty, my eldest daughter said she wanted to eat Chilli Crab. Since there were so few of us, we decided to drop the steamed fish (which my wife wanted) and go for chilli crab instead.

So we ordered the following;
1. Fried rice with seafood and salted fish
2. Sweet and Sour Fish slices
3. Chilli Crab.

Potluck Restaurant in IMM

Have you been to IMM in Jurong East? Right at level 1 is a very unique restaurant that offers affordable and home-style dishes in claypots. The restaurant settings were set in a nostalgic old Chinatown design that will bring you back to the 60s.

As I entered the restaurant, I was attended to a young, Chinese lady who handed me a 'newspaper' which turned out to be the menu. I thought it was a creative move, to make your menu into a newspaper and let your customer bring back and even pass it around to others.

Title of the newspaper.. lolz

Seafood By The Sea - Rasa Istimewa Woodlands Waterfront Restaurant

Whenever I think about dining seafood by the sea, my thoughts will bring me back to the early 90s where I had my seafood dining at a restaurant in Kukup, Malaysia. Today, that memory is overtaken by a brand new experience right on the shores of Singapore!

Right on the shores of Woodlands Waterfront is a jetty which leads you to this restaurant, Rasa Istimewa Woodlands Waterfront Restaurant.
