Ever since the last time I dined at Blue Garden Korean BBQ Restaurant (read my review here) when I felt a little disappointed that there weren’t any beef short ribs, I decided to continue my hunt for another authentic Korean bbq place that could be the one. I love all sorts of Korean food and their […]
Located just a stone’s throw away from the ever popular Tiong Bahru market, this artisan bakery is not to be missed. I first heard of its name when I read about it in the Sunday Times and on a couple of food blogs too and I just had to ask the husband to grab some of […]
I used to think of Chinese traditional desserts as plain sugary soups with (possibly) miserable portions of ingredients (I’m not kidding – have you ever tried red bean or green bean soup that’s full of water but so little beans?) until I chanced upon Dessert Hut in Chinatown one day while out shopping with my […]
One of my favourite places for fish head curry in Singapore will have to be The Banana Leaf Apolo at Race Course Road. This was recommended by my college mate almost a decade ago when we then brought one of our American lecturers here for dinner and since then I have fallen in love with […]
One of my corporate gift vendors recently recommended me to a Japanese restaurant at Cuppage Plaza and I decided to head over to check out the restaurant until I spotted this small Japanese style Chinese food eatery at the side entrance area that was full house. While stealing a glance at the dishes that these […]
Original flavour ($1.50 each) A colleague recently recommended me to Lao Ban Soya Beancurd when we headed to Old Airport Road Market and one taste of the beancurd completely changed my mindset about what this dessert is all about. Needless to say, I had been thinking of this since the last time I had it […]
Sunday is best spent with a good brunch coupled with a laid-back and tranquil setting. Given Singapore is such a concrete jungle, it is rather rare to find a place that fits the bill. I first heard of Spruce from a colleague and decided to head over for a lazy weekend brunch with my good […]
Macadamia CaramelCrisp ($9.00 for small bag) Who would ever expected popcorn to be that exquisite that this gourmet outlet would just spruce all over town in a flash? Every time I walk by a Garrett popcorn shop, I’d marvel at the long queue of people who are willing to pay a substantial amount of money […]
My husband and I headed to Sembawang Shopping Centre for some late night shopping and was scouting the area for a supper fix when we came across D’Rubinah at this corner coffeeshop along a row of shophouses on Sembawang Road. It looked pretty busy and the fragrance of prata and briyani in the air was super […]
My colleague recommended me Chef Icon after she had her most amazing chocolate cake from there for her birthday. When I first visited the website, it wasn’t really that eye-catchy and I was doubting if it was worth an order. After reading everything on its Avina.Neutro Baking style (no animal rennet, no animal gelatin, no […]
$20.00 for a large jar Yuja Cha is a Korean traditional tea made from thinly sliced yuja (or citron fruit) peel and honey. Normally served hot (just like honey lemon) and perfect for cold and flu as it contains vitamin C which can help boost your immune system. It tastes good as well as a […]
Fancy travelling from one end of SG to another end just for a meal? That’s probably what we are starting to do at least 1-2 times a month. And Ikea is somewhere we visit rather frequently (despite always leaving the place empty handed – but tummy full!). Seafood Chowder ($3.00) I’m always a big fan […]
This is part II to my earlier Astons Express post. Again, this has risen to the rank of my ‘should regularly visit eateries’ in Singapore. Why is this so? For its food quality (and quantity) and of course, for its affordable prices. That explains its popularity esp. among the students. Mushroom Soup ($3.00) […]
I never figured why people often stood a long queue outside this restaurant and I didn’t even fancy joining the crowd until one of my hotel contacts greatly recommended it to me (saying that it’s “modern Japanese” with exquisite sushi dishes) so when my husband and I were looking for a dinner venue at Junction […]
I was frantically searching for a venue for our reunion dinner the week before CNY and was glad when my Dad handed me a flyer from Bottle Tree Park. Luckily, I managed to secure a table for the 4 of us. I didn’t set high expectations before I came as I thought we were lucky […]
I love British street food. I have tasted good fish & chips while in the UK esp. the fresh cod ones. Not sure why this outlet is labelled as a British Take Away though I don’t recall seeing such greasy deep fried snacks around when I was there. Even my Brit husband said this was […]
