If you are the kind of traveller who seeks out local gems, places where the food is the main event and the setting is part of the adventure, then Bao Er in Balestier Plaza should be on your list to visit. This unassuming spot located on Level 2 of Balestier Plaza, a place that is not often frequented.

You know a good pie shop when the shop is full of tradies at lunch time. That pie shop is Country Cob Bakery in Boronia.

Our number 1 recommendation for Mango Sticky Rice is Chef Ple Thai Mango Sticky Rice. Located near Asok is this humble fruit shop that serves the queen of thai desserts, Mango Sticky Rice. Creamy, chewy, salty, sweet and so gorgeous is khao niao mamuang.
