  2. Still have lots of other variety, so you must slowly chose. However not all hawker center Zi Char is nice so must also chose wisely. While eating you can also bond with your family or friend because Zi Char portion usually for 2 to 3 person. You can try it anytime you want to:)

  3. Hello Hayden! Nice pictures you have there! Definitely mouth-watering! I'm not a chilli lover myself, but the rest of my family are! So maybe I'll bring them to Dempsey's Long Beach since you recommended the Black Pepper Crab and Curry Fish Head there! Looking forward to your next blog entry! :)

  8. The zi char stall I always go to if we ever eat zi char is at the round market at Tampines Street 11, and its called Sheng Li Restaurant. Very tasty food, recommended would be the kung pao chicken, fried pork ribs and hotplate tofu.
