Back again at Yan’s Dining.
No. 56070 · Orchard
At MODU Samgyetang Specialty Korean Restaurant. Korean cuisine is so much more than greasy barbecues and fiery dishes.

Ippoh, Osaka’s oldest premium tempura restaurant opens Ippoh Tempura Bar by Ginza Ippoh, at COMO Dempsey. Ippoh’s first Southeast Asian outpost.
No. 55626 · London
Mandarin Kitchen is an establishment in Queensway London and the genesis of the lobster noodles craze for me since the late 1980s.

Nadu Bistrol One of the best curries in Bristol. And that’s saying a lot- the Brits know a thing or two about curries.

London has a few Chinatowns. The one is Leicester Sq is oldest and arguably the largest. It is here that places like Wong Kei have earned their stripes.

Yes, yes the Peking Duck at Imperial Treasure Cantonese Cuisine is famous and top 3. However it’s rekindling romance and joy in simplicity - like and salt grass prawns.
No. 55275 · Holland Village
Back at Paradise Classic Holland Village. The pork trotter beehoon is a 7/10. The noodles drenched in the dark sauce is just mind blowing. Good for two to share.
No. 55259 · Pasir Panjang
The murtabak sardine at Paradise Restaurant in Pasir Panjang Road is 6.5/10. Not my usual gig in Singapore, where prata = canai.

Ma Maison Mandarin Gallery is another staple for the past 3 decades. Ma Maison never disappoints. Tonkatsu is a firm north Asian favourite and I can see why.

Pho shops are everywhere. And this is my neighbourhood Viet. Just a short note to say the beef balls, tripe and tendon are above average.
No. 54622 · Bugis
At Eleven Fingers Eu Kee Scissors Curry Rice. Nothing beats a plate of ‘banjir’ Chinese curry rice or chapfan. This is quintessentially Southeast Asian - economy rice.

One surprise entry in the 2019’s “Michelin Plate” recommendation should be New Rong Liang Ge Cantonese Roast Duck Double Boiled Soup.
No. 54490 · Central
Mak's Noodle Central is a place that I have been visiting over the past 4 decades. Easily 7.5/10 each visit over this period. Effortlessly consistent, rain or shine.

Tsui Wah Restaurant Central. Love it or hate it - HK has localised many Western and Southeast Asian flavours, made their own.
No. 54307 · Hokkaido
At Fuji Sushi Niseko Branch. Niseko is not Japanese, but Australian. Over the years the Southerners have terraformed this ski village into a ‘global’ powder run destination.

At Toppi in Hokkaido. Otaru is a seaside, fishing village that had the height of its herring boom in the early 21st century.

Not my usual post but Hokkaido dairy produce (as I’m sure everyone knows) is world class. The best ice cream in the whole of Japan is found at Yamanaka Dairy Farm.
