Enjoy all the food below that I have try today at Food Republic !

Chinatown Tan's Tutu

What so special about Chinatown Tan's TuTu is that their purity of the wholegrain

rice grains to ensure that his cake is pure white ! The floor is sifted many times so that the cakes are truly "san" or light ! Finally the cake is filled and steamed before being served on a piece of fragrant pandan leaf. handcrafted from start to the end, this is truly a nostalgic snack that diners can't skip !

Rating : 5/5

I am totally in love with the coconuts TuTu ! After the first bite , you will want to eat it again

and again ! You should try it yourself , then you will know how i feel . For the Peanut TuTu,

i think is a bit too thick for me , but for those who are lover of peanut TuTu will definitely love

it a lot !

Sergeant Hainanese Chicken Rice

The chicken is steamed just enough so there is still a little pink remaining on the flesh near the bones . Polish off the dish with a special garlicky chili sauce, wash it down with clear chicken

broth and satisfaction is definitely guaranteed.

You can try out their specialties : Drumstick Rice, Thai Sauce Tofu, Chicken Curry Noodles, Lemon Chicken Rice, Sergeant Boneless Chicken !

and everything is just right for me ! You guys should try out !

Chai's Orginial Sliced Fish Soup

Expect long queues throughout the day ( especially lunch time) if you wish to enjoy a taste of

Chai's Original Sliced Fish Soup ! What is so special about this fish soup that is the owner Peter Shih use 100% fish meat for his dried fish fish slices (no flour batter) and fries it at 400 degrees Celsius to ensure that the fish is not oily !
