Our Eat Drink Asia team spends a lot of time debating what makes a truly unforgettable meal. The team has previously published articles exploring the redefinition of comfort food. That is exactly what led me to The Malayan Council at 71 Bussorah Street. I visited on a Friday around 7:30 pm, just as the weekend…
Few Japanese dishes have travelled as successfully across Asia as sushi. What began as a culinary tradition deeply rooted in Japan has evolved into something remarkably diverse in Singapore.

Over the past six months, I’ve navigated the sprawling, sometimes disorientating corridors of Suntec City more times than I can count. What started as a simple quest to find decent spots for post-meeting lunches quickly turned into a genuine culinary journey. I have tried over a dozen venues within this massive complex, and I’ve found…

I vividly remember standing over my stove a few years ago, staring into a wok full of what can only be described as a greasy, grey disaster. When I first tried this dish at home, I assumed that tossing chopped eggplant into a hot pan with a generous glug of cooking oil would naturally yield…
When we first tried the notorious Samyang 2x Spicy Buldak noodles, we treated it exactly how the internet told us to: like a dare.
