Roland Restaurant

Roland Restaurant

No trip to Singapore is complete without crab. Unfortunately, my favorite place (Momma Kongs) closed. So I used Google again and found Roland. Unfortunately, Google is very bad at locating the restaurant itself. Roland is on the top floor of a parking garage! The restaurant itself is huge and very busy (most of the tables … Read more

Ah boy durian

Ah Boy Durian

I visit ‘Ah boy durian’ almost every day, usually after dinner, as a finale, so to speak. They serve Musan King durian here, just like in Malaysia.

Dai-Ichi Fishmart

I then went to Wang’s and got Xiao Long Bao, dumplings in chili oil, and a Park Bun. The Xiao Long Bao (soap dumplings) weren’t bad, but once you’ve been … Read more

84 Marine Parade Central Market and Food Centre

84 Marine Food Centre

The address is a cluster of Hawker stores, or small shops that offer food. There’s one in Chinatown that even has a Michelin star. The problem with that one is that I’m always a bit late, as I usually arrive in the evening, and some are already closed or out of everything. But I’ve been … Read more

Birds of Paradise Gelato Boutique

Birds of Paradise Gelato

Since I don’t start work in Singapore until 3:00 PM local time, I have a bit more time to walk around and see what’s available. I passed by an ice cream parlor where someone was baking ice cream cones. I thought, let’s try the ice cream and the cone :D. The ice cream selection is … Read more
