Mention mala, and one brand that’s sure to pop up in conversation is A Hot Hideout. If you didn’t already know, they’re a popular, local-born mala chain that went viral a while back for their unconventional toppings, scrambled eggs, and an assortment of deep-fried items. What first started as a passion project by two NTU students, A Hot Hideout now operates a whopping 11 branches in Singapore.

Home to China’s largely Muslim Ughyur population, Xinjiang has a unique cuisine that blends Central Asian, Middle Eastern, and Chinese influences to great effect.

The food, for the most part, lives up to the hype.

If you love a good burger as much as we do, you’ve probably heard of One Fattened Calf. When the homegrown joint first opened at a quiet spot in One-North five years ago, it gained a lot of fanfare for its consistently delicious burgers, made with fresh, premium ingredients. We recently visited their OG West-side outlet to update our review—here’s how it went.

There is much contention for the title of best briyani in Singapore, what with the myriad of options available around at hawker centres and restaurants. On a recent food hunt around Joo Chiat Road, we chanced upon a clandestine new contender—Cilantro: The Biryani Club.

The menu consisted mostly of Indian tandoori classics, curries, and their signature dum briyani. Visiting on an empty stomach, we ordered a few of their signature dishes to put them to the test.

Prince Noodles currently has five outlets across Singapore, though the one at ARC380 in Jalan Besar remains its flagship. If you’re thinking of checking out this acclaimed eatery, we hope this review will convince you that it’s very much worth a try.

MTR Singapore belongs to the highly acclaimed restaurant chain Mavalli Tiffin Room, which began life in Bangalore, India back in 1924. Its branch here in Singapore is also similarly lauded, having racked up many awards over the years, including TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence.

One of Singapore’s most storied Indian restaurants, Samy’s Curry was founded by the late Indian-born chef Mr. M. Veerasamy, who first set up shop along Tank Road in River Valley in the 1960s. As demand for its offerings grew, the restaurant later relocated to Pearl’s Hill Centre before settling at its current home in Dempsey Road in the 1970s, where it continues to draw diners from all corners of the island to this day.

With so many zi char restaurants in Singapore, it’s common to find overlapping dishes and similar influences. That’s why the very best usually have unique items, or they simply do the classics at a very high level. Por Kee Eating House 1996 belongs to the latter category.

As its name suggests, Por Kee first opened in 1996, and quickly became one of the most popular eateries in the Tiong Bahru area. There are more than 40 Cantonese-style dishes to choose from here, but our recent visit saw us order just three—and yet we were able to thoroughly enjoy our meal.
