Zam Zam muslim restaurant in Singapore has a long history (since 1908) of providing very nice murtabak (looks like a pizza) and briyani (rice dish with chicken curry). We had chicken murtabak and chicken briyani. Both dishes very nice. Zam Zam located along North Bridge Road opposite the Sultan Mosque Singapore. Chicken Murtabak with tea terik The bill- not expensive place to eat  Sultan Mosque Zam Zam Restaurant

To those living in the asean region - here is the mee rebus noodles. This is a spicy Malay noodle dish. Had Mee Rebus with chin chow dessert (glass jelly sweeten). Very nice. Mee rebus stall can be found in the basement food court of Parkway Parade.

Went to eat at the Break Through Cafe in Peoples' Park Centre Singapore (near Chinatown). It was a nice meal shared by 4 adults and 2 small kids. Break Through Cafe is run by a group of ex-convicts and back by a church missionary group. The ex-convicts serve out their rehab through working in the cafe. In the way, this helps to integrate the ex-convicts into mainstream society. The food served was good and service was fast. The cafe had many helpers that was why the food served to our table was quick. We had curry chicken, curry fish, pig legs in vinegar sauce, dim sum and various kinds of hot and cold desserts. Do go to the cafe to try out the food for I think its all for helping people and giving a second chance to ex-convicts. We noticed that even the top crime lawyer in Singapore visited the cafe for their food.

Had the nice Ayam Penyet (Smashed chicken) rice in Lucky Plaza Singapore. The restaurant was packed with locals and tourists (especially with Malaysians and Indonesians). The food was good. The chilli was very hot and spicy. Had the chicken and squid set with special drinks.

Had a decent meal at Old Town Cafe (Singapore)- love their deluxe nasi lemak rice with super nice chicken wings, nuts and spicy chilli. Had a Xi Mut Tea - very nice tea with condensed milk!
