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 […]
A recent exploration of the Ang Mo Kio neighbourhood led me to discover this herbal bak kut teh stall just a few bus stops away from my house and then I realised later this was the same BKT brand (main branch is at Marsiling Lane) that fellow foodie friends had recommended me some time back. […]
After a really awesome meal of the “Best Chicken Wings in Singapore” from Two Wings, the husband and I came back to Essen again the following weekend for lunch. This time, we checked out 4 of the 5 remaining food stalls and indulged in a sumptuous feast at a fraction of what we would normally […]
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 […]
Most of you in Singapore have probably heard about Porn’s which is a Thai restaurant chain owned by Singapore Mediacorp TV host, Pornsak Prajakwit. In case you’re wondering why the restaurant has such a name (I know what some of you are thinking!), ‘Porn’ in Thai simply means blessing or happiness. The husband and I […]
I was at Bishan Park more than a week ago for a dog adoption drive and decided to stop by McDonald’s to try their latest Ebi Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. Was really excited because this was my first ‘seafood’ meal since my thyroid surgery last month and didn’t expect it would be fast food […]
The last time the husband and I came by Thasevi was probably 4 or 5 years ago. A while back, we happened to be in the area and thought we would stop by for supper with our usual order of plain prata, egg prata and mee goreng. It was a Saturday night but it was […]
“Eat Green, Feel Good!” And I’m not talking about those oily and greasy vegetarian bee hoon with crispy vegetarian goose. These days, vegetarian fare is a notch better than what it used to be in terms of variety. Bento. Sushi. Sashimi. Rendang. Fish Soup. Braised Duck Rice. Burgers. Sandwiches. And so much more. Everything comes […]
There was a period of time before my surgery when I kept going to Yishun because I had to go Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for medical appointments. And one of those days, the husband and I went scouting around for a place to eat and we found this eating house located near the Yishun MRT […]
Enjoying restaurant quality food without breaking the bank is indeed a dream come true. Now we can all indulge in good meals at what I call an upscale food court or coffeeshop like the new Essen that’s located at The Pinnacle @ Duxton. Very similar concept to Salut Coffeeshop @ 119 Bukit Merah Lane 1, Essen […]
Whenever I think of the blackcurrant, Ribena is always the first thing that comes to my mind. Perhaps because the Ribena cordial is what I grew up drinking so it has always been a brand that is so close to heart. Recently, Ribena has introduced its first non-blackcurrant flavoured drink – Pineapple & Passionfruit Fruit […]
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 […]
After our roast meat meal at Restoran Ya Wang @ Jalan Segget, we ventured out to the streets again for further exploration and found ourselves stopping by It Roo Cafe for a second round of feasting. That’s what food-hopping is all about, isn’t it? Eat, eat and eat! 🙂 Well, no complains, really. Haha. Above […]
I’ve never seen money changers in Singapore been this hot before. People are just flocking to money changers these days to snap up Malaysian Ringgit as it falls (and continues to fall) to record low against the Sing dollar. Now, SGD1 can buy RM3. Goodness gracious. When can be a better time than now to […]
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 […]
