In this hot and sunny weather, enjoying a bowl of shaved-ice dessert is just so gratifying. This dessert house at Tiong Bahru Market is one of my favourites because it serves up a huge variety of hot and cold desserts in both traditional and innovative flavours so there’s always something for everyone. And the reason […]
I first chanced upon Saizeriya when I was at Liang Court 2 years ago and it was also my first time enjoying a half dozen escargots in garlic butter at a mere $5.90 even though its standard was comparable with some French restaurants here. The prices for food were incredibly cheap for a decent restaurant […]
My husband and I felt a little peckish after buying CNY cookies from Galicier Confectionery so we decided to head to the nearby Tiong Bahru Market for a quick bite. As I was skimming around the food centre, this particular stall’s colourful signboard caught my eye which I thought was perfect since we just wanted […]
If you’ve been to Adam Road Food Centre, you’d probably have noticed the endlessly long queue for their nasi lemak. Selera Rasa has won numerous accolades and awards for being the best nasi lemak stall in Singapore and till today, I still think their nasi lemak has consistently maintained its high standard. Its second outlet […]
In Part 1 of this post (click here to read), I had reviewed NamNam Noodle Bar’s Vietnamese pho. While the pho was good and worth returning for, what got me hooked are their Banh Mi or toasted baguettes stuffed with savoury meats, pate, mayo, chilli peppers, pickled carrots, daikon, cucumber and coriander. It is incredible […]
I love soupy noodles and Vietnamese pho (soupy rice flour noodles) is just one of my favourites especially when I crave for something piping hot yet light on the palates. I’ve had good ones in Viet restaurants in the States and my mother-in-law makes really good pho too so I am quite particular when it […]
This is the third time I am reviewing Rive Gauche because it’s really one of the few patisseries in Singapore that I go to frequently for my sugar fix. Read my previous review here. This time round, the husband brought home these two delightful treats to cheer me up as I was feeling a little […]
I seldom visit the Golden Mile Complex but when I do, it’s because I need something from the Thai supermarket on 2nd level which houses many made-in-Thailand products ranging from snacks, sauces, condiments, fresh spices and herbs for cooking Thai cuisine. If you’re a big fan of sriracha (Thai hot sauce), you’d be spoilt for […]
Those residing in Ang Mo Kio are probably very familiar with this popular carrot cake stall at the hawker centre in Ang Mo Kio Central that only sells the white crispy version. It is located next to my favourite drinks stall (read my previous review here) that serves up one of the best home-made ice […]
Palais Renaissance in Orchard Road is probably on one of the less busy stretches of the area. I only frequented this particular place during my school days in the 90s when I was working part time at a Brit company located in Orchard Towers and the office manager would sometimes treat me to lunch at […]
Whenever I chance upon a NYDC, I’d get reminded of an old classmate who really loved dining there that she’d always order the same baked rice, same pizza and same mudpie every time. This was more than 10 years ago when there was a NYDC outlet at Suntec City so it became one of our […]
When I last blogged about the palmier I had from Galicier Confectionery (read the post here), I made a comment that the one from Marks and Spencer Bakery was much better so when I dropped by Wheelock Place earlier, I decided to grab some bakes to go. In the beginning when M&S had revamped its flagship […]
The husband and I headed down to Galicier yesterday to pick up a couple of CNY cookies as gifts for the folks. And while I was busy chatting with one of the aunties who was enthusiastically promoting their CNY selections and shoving samples to me to try, the husband was quietly capturing photos of the […]
I actually thought I had already blogged about Senso Ristorante earlier but I’ve only just realised that these pictures have been sitting in my backlog. And I forgot all about them until my friend, Pinky mentioned to me about her unpleasant dining experience there with her boyfriend so this post might come a little belated but […]
Every time the Prosperity Burger is back, it just means Chinese New Year is round the corner again. And indeed, this year’s CNY comes early in end January. I couldn’t remember if I did try the Prosperity Burger before even though it had existed for quite a number of years but since it looked similar […]
The husband and I specifically made a trip down to The Grandstand (former Turf City) as I wanted to visit Singapore’s first farmers’ market, PasarBella. It is always interesting to explore somewhere new especially when Singapore is so small, sometimes we’d rather chill out at home than be out as we have nowhere else to […]
