To avid foodies like us, the most exciting part of a cruise had got to be the FOOD. That is why I need a whole blog post for it, haha. Anyway, if you haven’t read Part 1 of my cruise review, here’s the link to it -> Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 1 of 3) – […]
China Square Beef Noodles 中國城 120 Bukit Merah Lane 1 #01-45 Alexandra Village Food Centre Singapore 150120 Opening hours: 10.30am to 8.00pm daily (Closed on Thursdays) Went to IKEA Alexandra to grab some flower pots and plants hence came by Alexandra Village Food Centre for an early dinner. Most of the stalls there were either […]
I have been to Johor Bahru countless times but have never strayed away from their mainstream shopping centres as I tend to avoid dodgy streets after hearing many horror stories of people getting robbed at knifepoint, etc. Sometime last year, the husband and I took a taxi from City Square to Grand Bluewave Hotel for […]
I’ve briefly talked about SGMY in my earlier blog post on ORTO last week (read ORTO @ Lorong Chencharu (Yishun) and my latest fad, prawning). It’s actually an alfresco, no-frills bistro that’s located just next to the prawning ponds. When I first heard of ‘SGMY’, I really thought it was an abbreviation of a longer […]
Some of you might not have heard of ORTO but the name ‘Bottle Tree Park’ might just ring a bell. ORTO (means ‘garden’ or ‘orchard’ in Italian) is a new leisure park that has now taken over the site of former Bottle Tree Park in Yishun (about 8-10 minutes walk from Khatib MRT Station). The […]
I love Nando’s not because their flame-grilled chicken is out of this world but because their peri-peri sauces are just amazing. They are robust in flavour, spicy, tangy, piquant and sweet – everything that’s needed to make a piece of chicken tasty. When I was at Mustafa Centre the other day looking out for interesting buys, I […]
I have probably walked past this casual Asian restaurant umpteen times whenever I head to Sembawang Shopping Centre as it’s just located outside Daiso and Esprit on the ground level. My folks had been here several times previously and they’d always rave about the free-flow ice cream which seemed to be the only highlight of […]
I made this Smoked Salmon Salad during one of the festive dinner parties I hosted a few months back and all of my guests loved it. Not because the smoked salmon (store-bought), vegetables (raw) or olives (pickled) were fantastic but because they enjoyed the smooth and nutty dressing that came with the salad. Lol. So […]
When a friend from overseas came to town recently, I suggested that we should go visit the Singapore Zoo which claimed to be the ‘World’s Best Rainforest Zoo’. I don’t know about that since I haven’t visited enough zoos to compare but I always have a good impression of our zoo because I like how […]
Normally, when we hear the word ‘pancake’, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the round, thin & fluffy cake that we eat with syrup and/or butter like the hotcakes from Mac N Dees. While Pancake King does breakfast and dessert pancakes (with bananas & caramel sauce, sausage & eggs or chicken nuggets […]
When I heard that 49 Seats had launched their newest branch at Orchard Central and that it would be open for both lunch and dinner, I was just thrilled because the original outlet at Kreta Ayer Road only operates during dinner & supper and it’s always busy! Count the number of chairs when you’re here […]
If Yum Cha Restaurant is on my top list for dim sum (their prawn-based items like siew mai, beancurd rolls and prawn mango sesame fritters are just delish!), then Wen Dao Shi is really a close second if not on par. What I like about Wen Dao Shi (pronounced as ‘Wan Dou Sek’ in Cantonese […]
I was on my way to the spa some weeks back when I spotted Lady M at Orchard Central and just had to come back for a pampering pre-dinner treat. If you have a sweet tooth, you’re probably already very familiar with the brand. Hailing from New York, Lady M is often known as the […]
Update: The Mama Shop has closed w.e.f. Aug 2015. The husband and I went to Chinatown to shop for kitchenware and were about to make our way home from Pearls Centre but we couldn’t catch the CT8 bus in time which meant we had to wait for another 40 minutes for the next one. As […]
My recent food posts were all Whampoa-related and this shall be the last of the lot to conclude my Whampoa/Balestier eat-venture. There’s no better way to end off with yet another great find of an old school bakery like this. Many may not have heard of Sing Hon Loong but most (if not all) of […]
Besides Lao Liang @ Jalan Berseh Food Centre, this is probably the 2nd place I know that sells pig trotters jelly and poached shark meat. It is such a rare find in Singapore and I really wonder if such a traditional culinary art will actually survive in the years to come. Though I’ve grown up in […]
