The husband and I popped over to Johor Bahru City Square for a day out of which we seemed to be doing much more often this year than before. It was just one of those moments when we ran out of ideas on where to go in Singapore that would spur us on to cross the causeway to catch a […]

It’s been a couple of years since I last went to Malacca on a food hopping trip and I really really miss that awesome lok lok I had at Capitol Satay Celup that was totally unrivalled. Its satay sauce was one of the best I’d ever tried! I had a craving for lok lok for a long while now […]

Whenever I think about Chinese-style steamboats, specific locations like Bugis especially Liang Seah Street, Tan Quee Lan Street and Beach Road will just come to mind. Having worked in that area previously, I had the chance to try out many of the steamboat restaurants in the vicinity as work often ended late so eating out […]

The Rice Table has been one of my all-time favourite Indonesian restaurants in Singapore ever since my college mate introduced me to it more than a decade ago when we were hosting our lecturer who was in town from the States. And whenever I need to host friends from overseas every now and then, this […]

I went to SingTel ComCentre to settle my account closure (I switched to M1 after so many donkey years!) and the husband and I decided to look for somewhere to lunch around Killiney Road. Encountered several eateries that we had not eaten at before which were worth trying and blogging about but in the end we made a […]

I had long heard about the vintage high tea at House at Dempsey but hadn’t had the chance to visit earlier as the high tea is only available on Thursdays and Fridays. Just when I was planning a day out for the husband’s Big 3-0 birthday two weeks ago, I realised his big day was […]

I share a special relationship with Yum Cha Restaurant as it’s a place where I had experienced a few first times. The first dim sum buffet I had with the husband. The first meal my husband had with my parents. The first pre-wedding meal between my in-laws and my parents. Time flies but the nostalgic […]

Update June 2017: This hi-tea buffet is only available on weekends now. Scroll to the bottom for the revised opening hours. One of the perks of not having to work on a weekday is to be able to enjoy a peaceful afternoon high tea, away from the bustling weekend crowd. I had been to Lao […]

After our morning outing to the River Safari on my birthday, the husband and I headed home to get changed and left for the Fullerton Bay Hotel where we enjoyed a relaxing afternoon, indulging in an elegant high tea in full view of the waterfront panorama of the Marina Bay. “Built in 1933, Clifford Pier […]

I particularly like the revamped Marina Square with the inclusion of The Dining Edition which is a new dining concept that puts together different cuisine from around the world under one roof. From Viet, Thai, Chinese, Japanese to Brazilian restaurants as well as a few new dessert bars and familiar cafes, we are definitely in for […]

Updated 06/10/14: Read my latest post on A Value-for-Money Taiwan Porridge Buffet @ Crystal Cafe, Orchard Grand Court (Revisit). Besides Quality Hotel (read my post on their porridge buffet here), Crystal Cafe at Killiney Road is another Taiwan porridge place worth visiting. It is an unpretentious cafe with no contemporary decor compared to other restaurants in the […]

I just wonder sometimes why I would go crazy with buffets especially when I love variety but I’m never able to eat so much at one setting compared to the husband. And my appetite seems to shrink as I grow older (another sign of aging?) but my weight remains the same (unfair!). Buffets are just […]

Update: This restaurant is no longer in operation. I can’t believe I took so long to blog about Todai even though I’ve been here like four times. The first time was when the husband decided to try out his first ever eating challenge at the Todai Spicy Sushi Roll Competition. He won the challenge and […]

Quality Hotel is one of my favourite places to get my porridge supper fix. Whenever we have a late lunch, we tend to skip dinner and head to here to have porridge instead. I have been here like countless times, I can’t believe I haven’t even blogged about it yet! You may be wondering who […]

It was 8 o’clock in the evening and the husband and I were roaming everywhere in Raffles City, undecided on where to have our dinner till we chanced upon Buffet Town that was bustling with life (and noise) inside. A peep into the restaurant through the glass window, I saw piles of chilled crayfish, oysters […]

I felt a little turned off to write this blog post because it wasn’t a fully enjoyable dining experience for me and my family. Normally I don’t even start off my food review with such a comment. Read on to find out more. Craving for steamboat, I decided to bring the family to Danro Japanese […]
