End of an Era: Visiting Boh Geh Uncle Canteen One Last Time

Sitting outdoor under the trees As bus 117 rolled through Seletar, Singapore's modern aerospace hub, I took a moment to just look out the window and enjoy the unusually serene greenery. My destination was 398 Piccadilly,  home to the legendary Boh Geh Uncle Canteen or Canteen 398 . I wouldn't have rushed down this week if not for my dad. He had forwarded a picture of the canteen from a friend's group chat with a urgent reminder: 'Go visit and record down the place before it's gone!' Since I live nearby, I knew I couldn't miss out (or FOMO maybe). With their last day of operation officially set for 18 September 2026 , I headed out on its final week to experience this rustic piece of history for the first and one last time on 14 September 2026 . Will never see such sights in Singapore again Stepping off the bus onto Piccadilly felt like stepping straight into a time machine. Hidden within distance from Seletar Camp,   Boh Geh Uncle Canteen  isn't just an o...

Culinary | OREO No Bake Dessert by JELLO

Bought 2 boxes of the pre-mix before our hse-warming and only now I decided to do it. Picked up the courage because I was afraid that such simple no-bake recipe I also can't manage then I'm totally useless bum. But surprisingly, I can. Okay lah. Because I did no bake cheesecake before but still no confidence. Quite happy now.  



So I bought this box of JELLO Oreo No Bake Dessert at Cold Storage. Can't be more happy to buy all these baking stuff there. Because is no bake recipe thus that time before hse-warming I bought it as I don't have an oven and if I wanna bake, I have to use my Philips Airfryer.

Inside the box, you can find the Crust mix, Filling mix and Oreo cookies crumbs. And all you need is butter and milk. Just like any cheesecake recipe.

So my procrastination starts here. I couldn't figure out how much is 4 tbsps of butter and 1 1/3 cup of milk. Today I finally went to google how much in grams. This is definitely god send. I found 1 whole list of measurement from a blog. So thankful for that. 

So now I can tell you:

4 tbsp of butter = 56g
1 1/3 cup of milk = 330ml

Let me know if this is not accurate. Oops...



I used SCS Unsalted butter (227g). How I get 56g of butter is by dividing into 4 portions. Simple as that. Get it melted at high heat for 1 min on microwave. 


Ta-daaa.... Here's how it looks after mixing with melted butter. Why look more like caviar? And then I put it to refrigerate for 15 mins (adopting the method from Betty Crocker's No Bake Cheesecake) and proceed to do the filling.



I used HL Milk with the Filling mix. Follow the instructions closely and woohoo... I did a good job like how I manage for other cheesecakes. Feeling good by now.



After beating, I mix half a pack of cookie crumbs with the mixture. Taste sweet. And pour it into the base which I have put in fridge for 15 mins.


Top it up with the balance cookie crumbs and refrigerate for a day before having it. Suppose to freeze it but probably I will get Oreo ice cream cake instead so I decided to just chill it. Probably I will change my mind later. Lets see how.

1 day later...



The appearance doesn't look very nice but then finally, it is up! Time to attack the whole cake. Sweet. 

Hope you enjoy reading this post. Kthxbye.
