I’ve long heard about the cafes at Bukit Merah Central that have garnered raving reviews on social media but it’s a part of Singapore that I don’t really come to often because it’s quite out of the way for me. When I was at IKEA Alexandra the other day, I thought I’d just swing by the […]
One year ago, this restaurant was still known as Cafebiz. It was where my family and I would often go for weekend high tea when I was a teen. Today, it has been renamed as J65 which is inspired by the Singapore international dialling code. This vibrant all-day dining restaurant located at the lobby level […]
Two months back, I got W this Banana Chocolat Roll from Pâtisserie Glacé for her birthday and we really loved it because it was somewhat different from the usual cakes we had in the past. Recently, I saw the same cake again at Pâtisserie Glacé’s outlet at Square 2 and just couldn’t resist the temptation […]
Every time the husband and I walked past Humble Beginnings at JB City Square, we kept saying to ourselves that we would come back for their mille crepes next time but it never did happen. So at our last JB exploration trip when we came back to JB Sentral from AEON Bukit Indah, we immediately […]
It’s time for tea at Tart Blanc, which is a little tart specialty cafe that serves up an array of artisanal desserts/pastries (tarts, cookies & macarons), gourmet sandwiches & wraps and fresh brews of coffee/tea. A cosy space with just 10 seats, this place is perfect for that leisurely afternoon tea and/or whenever you need […]
Update: This cafe has ceased operation. After a leisurely walk at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, the husband and I chanced upon Cafe Mojito that was located just across the road so in we went to grab some tea time refreshments. They had a small selection of cakes and pastries on display… …as well as some […]
Update: This cafe has ceased operations. I hate rainy weather but it makes me smile when I catch sight of a rainbow after the rain. Similarly, the cafe name ‘Rainbow Cottage’ really appeals to me because it sounds so cheery. The girlfriend and I decided to head to this small and cosy cafe for a […]
I love anything with yam so when I heard that Double Scoops in Ang Mo Kio serves up Orh Nee (‘yam paste’) ice cream, I just had to come by for a little treat. And I had this little fellow as company cos’ we were just next to each other by the wall. How cute, […]
Honestly, I cannot remember if I’ve ever had a dessert at Mei Heong Yuen though I’ve passed by the shop countless times whenever I come to Chinatown and it is always busy. Initially I thought MHY only sells the usual traditional desserts like red/green bean soup, yam paste, peanut paste, herbal jelly and the like […]
Update: Closed on 31 December 2016. I was making my way to Tong Heng to grab my favourite egg tarts when I stumbled upon this Korean-inspired cafe which was located directly opposite the Chinatown Food Street. I was just captivated by the arty-farty feel of the cafe exterior which was likely trying to replicate the […]
Update: This restaurant has ceased operation w.e.f. 26 June 2016. Most of you in Singapore have probably heard of 1 Market by now. Or perhaps you would remember seeing pictures of Chef Wan whenever you pass by this restaurant while at Plaza Singapura. That’s right. 1 Market (a clever word play on Chef Wan’s name) is […]
Final stop of our latest JB food-hopping trip. If you’ve missed out my earlier two posts, here they are: Restoran Ya Wang @ Jalan Segget It Roo Cafe @ Jalan Dhoby After two filling meals of roast duck rice and chicken chop, the last thing I wanted was another savoury or carb-loaded meal. Barely a […]
05/16 update: Seems like Dairy Queen has ceased operation in Singapore. It’s funny that the husband and I have now reversed roles. I used to be the one hooked onto online shopping but now he is the one looking out for deals and steals, haha. So while he was browsing for gadgets on Qoo10 a […]
I came by City Vibe with H as we wanted to redeem our frozen yogurt treats that we got from Qoo10. We were quite surprised that even though Clementi was a bustling town centre, this mall that was located near to the MRT Station and next to Clementi Mall was just deserted even on a […]
Shrove Tuesday (also known as Pancake Day) is the day before Lent (the Christian season of preparation before Easter) begins and is celebrated in some countries by making and eating pancakes. This visit to Shrove Tuesday was a memorable one because it was the first time D and I went food-hopping together. I had brought […]
It’s once again the time of the year to prowl through the festive bazaars at Geylang Serai to sniff out some interesting new eats. Last year, I had swooned over the pide (leaf-shaped Turkish flat bread pizza) and sotong panggang (grilled squid). This time round, I was quite excited to see so many newcomers in the […]
