Makan Kakis with Denise Tan

Hi Makan Kakis! Vernetta Lopez returns to Gold 905 for a special chat about her latest project (Choo's Masquerade Party - Dinner Theatre with Dream Academy) and of course, her favourite food! This recommendation is one she's been enjoying since she was a teen - the Michelin Bib Gourmand-mentioned stall at Newton is a must-try for incomparable duck noodles! There's a lot more on their menu, but duck is their signature, so go for that first!

Hey Makan Kakis! Between rehearsing and hosting the National Day Parade, plus celebrating his birthday (which he shares with Singapore), it was a busy August for Mr. X - your Captain of The NiteFlite! I finally managed to sit down for a chat with him about the dish he feels needs to be celebrated - Nasi Biryani - and where he likes to go when he gets a craving. Check out his recent Joo Chiat discovery!

Hey Makan Kakis, Broadway Beng Sebastian Tan returns to the stage, or rather buffet table, in Dream Academy's new dinner theatre production Choo's Masquerade Party! He also returns to recommend a family favourite rojak stall run by his 3rd Uncle in Yishun. This no-name hidden gem is tucked away in the famous 925 Yishun Central coffeeshop and worth a visit!

Hi Makan Kakis, we continue celebrating our nation's birthday month with Gerald & Sophie's picks. These are the local dishes they think are worth a turn in the spotlight - fried carrot cake (white chai tow kway) & Nyonya food (in particular, ayam buah keluak & herh peow soup). So we dig deep into our archives for some great stalls to try - recommendations from previous Makan Kakis over the years!

Hi Makan Kakis! All through August, the month of our Nation's Birthday, I'm asking the GOLD 905 team which local dish is worth celebrating. We start this new series with the Midday Fix's Young - he recommends fried fish noodle soup and shares TWO spots where he likes to go for his fave dish!

Hi Makan Kakis! Masterchef SG Judge & owner of Artichoke Bjorn Shen once said this was "the most amazing ayam goreng in Singapore". Since then, La Porpo has moved several times and now, at their new Redhill location, they are still serving up tongue-searing goodness - their Ayam Geprek is a firm favourite!

Hi Makan Kakis - Love fishball noodles? Try this Malaysian-style version in Ang Mo Kio, where a Pahang family serve authentic handmade, pure yellowtail fishballs and QQ dry mee kia, amongst other yummy dishes. The consistently long queues are testament to how excellent the food is!
