[CLOSED] Fatburger Singapore @ KINEX (Formally OneKm Shopping Mall), Paya Lebar – The Last Great Burger Stand in America Lands in Singapore

1 Comment

Update 19 Jan 2025: Fatburger has closed.

This is a trip that’s long overdue. Fatburger, coined as “The Last Great Burger Stand” , made its home in Singapore at KINEX and Velocity @ Novena Square back in September, with the gargantuan Quad (XXXXL) Burger making waves among foodies. Hailing from Hollywood, this famed burger chain has enjoyed a massive cult following in America, with celebrities like Kanye West and Pharrell among its clientele and partners.

With its famed reputation preceding its arrival, expectations were high when I visited Fatburger’s KINEX outlet for lunch.

Located a five to ten minute drive from Tampines and Tanah Merah MRT stations, The Bedok Marketplace is often overlooked by food seekers in favour of its neighbours. Which is shame really, because of the myriad hidden gems among its selections, such as The Chop Chop Selections.

[MOVED] Hei Kim Cafe @ Changi Road – $7-10 Eggs and Pasta in the East Feat. xHundredfold Shop & Studio

Leave a comment

Update 19 Jan 2025: Hei Kim Cafe has moved to Far East Plaza.

In a time where 8 out of 10 cafes charge an exorbitant $20++ for a mediocre eggs on toast, Hei Kim Cafe‘s crazy affordable prices for a simple eggs or pasta dish is incredibly refreshing. Located along the cozy stretch of Changi Road, this lifestyle cafe, which also houses xHundredfold‘s shop and studio, is a pretty new addition to the cafe scene in the east.

Haikee Soy Sauce Chicken Rice @ Changi Road – The Secret’s in the Sauce (Invite)

Leave a comment

“A chicken rice stall on Instagram? Must be run by youngsters,” my friend quipped when I first mentioned Hai Kee Soy Sauce Chicken Rice to him.

Indeed, Singapore has seen a surge of millennial hawknerpreneurs stepping up to preserve our local hawker culture, whether by putting their own spin on traditional fare or simply sticking to the classics – as is the case for the brother and sister team running this hugely popular stall at Kim San Leng Coffeeshop on Changi Road.

Yunomori Onsen @ Kallang Wave Mall – Singapore’s 1st Japanese Onsen and Spa

Leave a comment

I’ve always wanted to visit an onsen during my Japan trips, but never got the chance to. So when Yunomori Onsen opened in Kallang Wave Mall late last year, I decided to wait till the crowd had died down before going.

For the uninitiated, an onsen is a Japanese hot spring with bathing facilities attached. Commonly associated with Japanese culture, its rustic, simplistic charm is a hit with tourists.

Since many of my friends asked about my experience (after seeing the many snaps from my Instagram stories), I thought I would share about my day at Yunomori – including how to get the most out of your visit!
