Yong He Eating House @ Geylang

When you mentioned 永和豆浆油条大王 probably a lot of people will know where it is. It has exactly moved further down the road to a new location at Lorong 27A from Lorong 9.

I do not like to eat beancurd with sugar syrup. I find it too sweet.  I prefer beancurd with soya bean drink which I think is the right balance to go with the silky smooth beancurd.

Beancurd with Soya Bean Drink 4/5

The Youtiao (油条) seems bigger than others. It was quite oily but crispy and nice. The other reason I like my beancurd with soya bean drink because I can dip the Youtiao into it. I like soaking my Youtiao (油条) in the soya bean drink before eating it.

At Yong He (永和), they also sell Taiwanese snacks. The Shao Bing (烧饼) with Egg is one of my favourite.

Pizzeria Mozza @ Marina Bay Sands

This restaurant is owned by the renowned by Nancy Silverton, Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich in the United States and it is great to have the dining experience brought to Singapore. You can check out their profile on the Pizzeria Mozza website. I am more familiar with Joe Bastianich as he is one of the judges for US Master Chef.

The first thing that greeted me was an envelope on the dining table from Pizzeria Mozza. This is interesting and unique to me. In the envelope was exactly your cutlery and serviette.


I had the Bruschette Ciccioli for the starter. The Ciccioli had a taste of saltiness (properly from the aging) when eaten with the crispy toasted bread was a good combination of flavour and texture.

The best try here is definitely the pizza! It is one of the best pizzas I have eaten and the price range of $20-$28 for a pizza is quite affordable considering this a celebrity chef restaurant. I can't wait to go back to try to the rest of the pizzas in the menu.

The pizzas were unique with its extra large crust and shape. I tried both the Stracchino and Burrata pizzas. Both pizzas were distinctly differently in flavours but they were so good that I cannot judge each was better.
