The Boiler Seafood Bar and Beer

There are a few places in Singapore that serves seafood in a bag where diners are expected to dig in with their hands, whether or not the contents are poured onto tables covered with paper or plastic that will be thrown away after every meal. No placemats, crockeries and cutleries. The concept from Louisiana was started in 2012 by The Cajun Kings (it has since closed), followed by Crab in Da Bag in 2013 and Dancing Crab in 2014. Another who jumped on the bandwagon in the same year as the latter, was The Boiler Seafood Bar and Beer, located off MacPherson Road in an ulu industrial estate. Not where you will expect. As it continues to give a free Boston lobster to every birthday baby who orders a Boiler's Bombdiggity Bag, my dining companions and I decided to try it. This promotion must be selected when making reservations through its website or Facebook, or HungryGoWhere's website or mobile app.

Duck Rice Kway Chap (Macpherson Road)

The 1st time I tried deep-fried pork intestine was at this stall, its memories so deeply etched in my mind that I could always fondly recall its taste. In a coffeeshop at 560 MacPherson Road, the English name on The Green Book Best Food Awards 2007/2008 could not be seen from far. Just like the many Chinese newspaper cuttings that referred to the owner as "Kwap Chap King". Chinese words, loosely translated as Quan Lai Pork Organ Soup, in gold stood out on a red signboard. Happened to be in the area and decided there was no way I would miss the chance of having my favourite dish.
