I was invited to a launch party at the newly opened Avalon club here at MBS but was made to wait at the door as there was another private event going on – so much for having a VIP invite. Feeling annoyed, I suggested to the husband to go in MBS and have tea while […]
This is one of my all-time favourite porridge places. First recommended to me by my ex-boss when we used to work long hours then and would head here together for a late porridge supper. This used to be located next to the Indoor Stadium and has since moved to Toa Payoh Central, just next to […]
A day of exploring the new phase of the Circle Line brought us to Holland Village where we practically pranced up and down and everywhere because we were just unable to decide on a good place to settle down for a quiet and cosy dinner. After probably walking past Al-Hamra for the third time, we […]
If you’re searching for a good dessert in downtown Orchard, you’d have to head over to the Cold Stone Creamery at Orchard Central. It is pretty crowded most of the time so be prepared to queue and wait. After all, good things are always worth a wait.If the current menu of their signature creations doesn’t […]
My hubby surprised me with a dinner treat at Au Petit Salut to celebrate our 7th year of knowing each other. Nestled in greenery along Harding Road at Dempsey, this house-like restaurant exudes a quiet charm that is a perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Make your way down the […]
I recently spotted this little bakery shop tucked away in a row of shophouses while on the way for a team lunch with my colleagues and vowed to return to try its muffins. Shortly after, my colleague bought some for us and I must say they have one of the best muffins I have […]
I discovered this interesting sweet treat kiosk during a lunch time walk at Raffles Xchange (Raffles Place MRT) and was quite fascinated by the pretty packaging of these nougats. I was given a sample of the cranberry nougat and simply fell in love with it. Cranberry nougat ($7.80 per pack of 10 pieces) Generous servings […]
This has always been one of my favourite patisseries in town. Just a simple “no frills”, “to-go” counter located at Takashimaya’s food hall. Classy French style of packaging Napoleon ($6 per slice) Three layers of French style puff pastry with a layer of soft sponge and freshly whipped cream with sliced strawberries and icing […]
Double Chocolate Egg Tart ($1.30 per piece or $7.50 per box of 6) Once bitten, twice the pleasure. That was how the tart got its name. Indeed when I first ordered the tart, the melty chocolate lava that was oozing from the top really got me all excited. Unfortunately, I couldn’t taste the difference between […]
I have heard about the Everything with Fries restaurants in Katong and Holland Village that were started by the people behind Awfully Chocolate but have not thought of going since they are quite out of the way for me. When we chanced upon its new burger joint in Orchard Central, we knew we just had […]
A sense of sudden nostalgia made me stop at Braddell MRT on my way home from work. This was the area that I was so familiar with when I was working as a student care teacher while studying for my part time degree. The good old days indeed. Who can ever forget the taste of […]
It has always been a challenge to me to find a good Chinese restaurant where the entire family will enjoy given the different tastes and high expectations we (esp. the older folks) all have with food. So for Dad’s birthday this year, I decided to bring the family to this little air-conditioned restaurant tucked away […]
I was reminiscing the days when I travelled to South Korea for work esp. that few authentic Korean BBQs I had when I was there. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to hunt down a similar authentic restaurant in Singapore until I read about Blue Garden from a few local food blogs. Located on the ground level […]
After watching a recap programme of Yummy King in which taxi drivers and members of the public voted this as one of the top carrot cakes in Singapore, I decided to make my way there and to try it myself to see if it is really as good as what people say it is. […]
Hubby and I were exploring a part of Ang Mo Kio Central which we usually don’t frequent and surprisingly we noticed a really long queue at the coffee shop. I had heard raving reviews of Astons but had never tried it and since we had the time, we decided to just go for it. Normally, […]
Melon Tea with White Pearl Jelly ($2.70) Flavourful with all the melon goodness. It is not too sweet and perfectly quenches that thirst on a hot sunny afternoon. I guess after all it is still considered rather healthy given that it doesn’t contain milk and it’s a body cooling drink. I really enjoyed the […]
