Tendon Ginza Itsuki on Tanjong Pagar Road was the first Japanese tendon restaurant to open in Singapore two years ago. It successfully kicked off the tempura donburi trend here that got many people excited over rice bowls that were overfilling with tempura. And of course, it was just a matter of time before many other […]
“Say cheese!” That was exactly what the LiHo staff said to me when she handed me my cup of cheese tea at their Ang Mo Kio outlet. And you know what? It did bring a smile to my face. ? Most of you in Singapore would have already known by now that the popular bubble […]
I’ve switched from Asian cuisine to Western food recently since coming back from my holiday. Probably because I’ve eaten way too much of these noodles and rice dishes in my last trip that my usual cravings for them are gone, haha. Well I’m sure that’s just temporary. ? Trying to get back on track with […]
Got a special delivery from Mizkan Japan. Really loved the beautiful and neat wrapping outside. Even the packaging materials inside the box had a mix of confetti and styrofoam beads which made unboxing a rather Christmasy affair, lol. I must say, Japanese product packaging is always impressive. It really reflects how thoughtful the Japanese people […]
There’s no such thing as too much cheese tarts! ? So sinful but so irresistible. I’ve been a loyal supporter of Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart for a year or so now. Since then, I’ve been buying their cheese tarts whenever I stumble upon an outlet either in Singapore or Malaysia. Still think the tarts from their KL […]
A while back, I shared this Peanut Sesame Muah Chee Recipe which I said was inspired by the muah chee I had at Hougang 6 Miles Famous Muah Chee. This stall is located in the Toa Payoh HDB Hub’s Gourmet Paradise Food Court where the bus interchange is. And this was the muah chee I […]
I am seriously addicted to Qoo10. And I’m not alone. ‘Cos I think the husband has a more severe addiction. ? We have been spending a good amount of time everyday, just sniffing around the Qoo10 website for interesting things to buy. Funny thing is, we don’t normally miss what we don’t have but once […]
Couple of months back, IKEA in Singapore had suspended sales of their famed chicken wings after receiving numerous complaints about their deteriorating quality. I shared the same thoughts with many too. That the IKEA chicken wings were getting miserably smaller in size, less crispy on the outside and drier on the inside. That said, the […]
Many of you in Singapore are probably not unfamiliar with CP Foods from Thailand. It’s a household name for ready to eat frozen meals and raw meats that you can readily find in major supermarkets here. Well, I don’t really consume processed foods and frozen meals often. But occasionally I do like to buy some […]
What to eat in Bangkok? You may wonder. Thailand may be better known as the Land of Smiles but I’m sure many would agree that it is also the Land of Street Food and the perfect foodie’s paradise. Every trip to Bangkok is always a mouth-watering one. And there is just no reason not to […]
On our last night in Bangkok, we opted for a quiet and relaxing sit-down meal in one of our all-time favourite restaurants, Ban Khun Mae. After a week’s worth of street food overload, we just had to have something different. ? Ban Khun Mae is located in Siam Square, just across the road from Som […]
I’m the kind of traveller who likes to head straight to the nearest supermarket upon checking in at the hotel so as to stock up my room with essential supplies like drinking water. It is also kinda fun to explore the supermarket at the same time just to see if there’s any new and interesting […]
There’s always room for dessert at After You Dessert Cafe in Bangkok. ? After an enjoyable meal of som tam and fried chicken at Som Tam Nua, we popped over to After You Dessert Cafe that was just a stone’s throw away. I never fail to eat my favourite Thai street foods like moo ping, […]
Som Tam Nua on Siam Square Soi 5 is one of the most popular places for som tam (green papaya salad) in Bangkok. If you come here during peak meal time, expect to see a huge crowd and/or long queue. The nearest BTS station to Som Tam Nua is Siam. Once you exit Siam station […]
After a good lunch and shop at Terminal 21, we made our way back to the BTS station to catch the train to our next stop – Phrom Phong, where The EmQuartier is situated. The EmQuartier is a relatively new high-end, upmarket mall in the Sukhumvit district of Bangkok. It is located opposite the Emporium, which is another […]
Terminal 21 is a one floor, one theme shopping complex located on Sukhumvit Road (next to Asok BTS station) which is quite different from other shopping malls in Bangkok because it resembles an airport (hence the name). This mall was launched in late 2011 but I hadn’t had the chance to check it out as […]
