Beyond Marina Bay: Most Tourists Miss These 6 Hidden Places in Singapore

BOOKMARK THIS SINGAPORE TRAVEL GUIDE! Ask any local in Singapore where they spend their weekends, and you’ll quickly notice something: we almost never go to the Merlion, Sentosa, or Marina Bay Sands, unless special occasions maybe. While those glitzy landmarks look great in travel brochures, they miss the authentic soul, quiet heritage, and rich local food culture that make Singapore truly special. If you want to experience the island through the eyes of a true-blue Singaporean, born and breed, I have picked up 6 off-the-beaten-track locations to add to your itinerary on your next visit to Singapore.  Stop following the mainstreams! 1. Kampong Lorong Buangkok: The Last Mainland Village Tucked quietly between tall modern public housing blocks in the northeast, Kampong Lorong Buangkok is mainland Singapore’s last surviving kampong (traditional village). Walking down its gravel paths feels like stepping into a time capsule from the 1960s, complete with wooden houses, zinc roofs, and ...

Food Review | Tiong Bahru Yong Tao Hu


Went Leisure Park Kallang after work to get a new washing machine from Mega Discount Store. Once done, time for dinner. Walked around in search for food and happen to come across this Tiong Bahru Yong Tao Hu. A lousy foodie me who didn't even know of this existence. I only know the one at People's Park Food Centre that always have a long queue and sold out even before lunch time end.

This place served authentic Hakka Yong Tao Hu that are freshly made and in their menu, there are different combinations to choose from; dry, soup or laksa base, yellow noodles, beehoon or kway teow or any two. Sides like otah, prawn rolls, veggie and big fishcake. Here our picks:


Signature Yong Tao Hu (Dry) with Yellow Noodles $7.20

Simple bowl of YTH, mixed with sweet and chilli sauce. Just like any YTH. But here, you don't get to choose the ingredients but take what is given. Tofu, fishballs and beancurd skin wrapped with fish stuffing. But the noodles portion was not a lot even though we got a Large one. 



Yong Tao Hu Laksa with Beehoon + Yellow Noodles $6.60

This laksa base was good and not diluted. Same amount of ingredients given like their Signature. Always love having yellow mee, sometimes adding beehoon to it. I always believe that yellow mee has this good absorption of taste when cooked.





Big Fish Cake $3.50

According to the culinary instinct of my husband, he said that in order to achieve such crisps on the outside without losing the taste and moist on the inside, it required the hot oil and fast frying. Nice and I love it so much. 


For thirst quencher, we ordered a Iced Barley and Lime at $1.80 each. 

Overall, it was alright but the noodles portion isn't that filling and definitely not worth the price. But apparently, it seems like by 8+ at night, their food were sold out. So probably it was good in others' opinion.
