Ampang Niang Tou Fu, Singapore
This is a supposedly famous shop in Katong, a foodie enclave in Singapore. What is Yong Tau Foo? Imagine soy bean products and vegetables stuffed with a mixture of minced fish and minced pork. It is a traditional dish of…

Fullhouse Theme Café, Singapore
OMG!! This place is so overpriced. A very ordinary White Coffee costs S$7.90. With the 10% and 7% GST, it works out to S$9.30 total. Not good value for money at all. A new player in Singapore, this chain already…
