When the husband and I are out on a date, enjoying a sweet treat at tea time is a mandatory thing to do, lol. After our satisfying lunch at Nando’s followed by a good dose of retail therapy (actually it was him who really shopped, not me! times had changed…haha), we headed to Secret Recipe for its […]
The husband was missing his favourite gigantic Muar sugarcane juice from Chomp Chomp so we stopped by for an early dinner to satisfy his craving with a feast of our all-time favourite BBQ wings and satay. After dinner, we were walking around Serangoon Gardens looking for desserts and came across Little Wimbly Lu that had opened […]
As mentioned in my earlier post (Food Factory Outlet Shopping at Woodlands Terrace: Zac Meat & Poultry and Melvados), I had ventured into Blk 15 Woodlands Loop for the first time just to see what was there. This building houses the central kitchens for various caterers and food establishments and it doesn’t have a very […]
One good thing about having a BBC (British-born Chinese) husband (who shares the same passion in food) as my BMB (Best Makan Buddy) is that I get to revisit many of my old favourite food places and also discover new ones too as we explore a different part of Singapore every week. He makes me see my homeland from […]
After having a hearty breakfast at Happy 3 Bites Cafe, my ‘PIC’ and I hopped over to Batterworks where we spent the longest time in out of the three cafes we visited at Everton Park. This cafe was such a sweet find. Clearly a hidden gem in this quiet neighbourhood. I loved its cosy ambience, […]
[Updated Dec 2014: Spanish Doughnuts is now closed.] Churros, my greatest love and they always have been since I had my first bite of it while in the US many many years ago. I don’t remember having (or even seeing) any churros when I was in Barcelona with K (which is kinda weird when it’s […]
I’m back at my favourite hawker centre with the husband! There’s this indescribable charm to the whole Tiong Bahru Market environment that always makes me want to come here and eat and whatever food I order can just easily put a smile on my face and makes me go ‘hmm hmm’, lol. Anyway, we were here […]
Whenever I’m at Tiong Bahru, I’d never leave without buying some kueh kueh from my favourite old-school bakery, Galicier. If you’ve been following my blog, you’d probably know I’m one of Galicier’s big-time fans, lol. Their Chinese New Year cookies, nonya kuehs, cakes and pastries – I totally heart them all. Recently, I went again […]
Changi City Point is one of the husband’s favourite malls in Singapore because it has factory outlets of most of his preferred sports brands like Nike and Adidas. These days he shops more than I do and it seems like hanging out in malls is once again a frequent affair for us which I don’t […]
I was at Xin Yuan Vegetarian Food Trading earlier as I wanted to grab some vegan mayo and I thought of buying their ‘eggless’ egg tarts for the husband to try but too bad they were not available. I saw these vegetarian cream puffs which looked pretty decent so I got one box to try out. Looked like standard cream […]
Nothing beats a pretty, delicate and tasty cupcake that easily makes grey skies blue. Plain Vanilla is one of my favourite bakeries in Singapore where I’d keep going back for its cuppies that never fail to deliver that warm and fuzzy feeling every time I sink my teeth into one. So when I was at Holland […]
I was on my way to Geylang last week to attend a biannual dinner at a Teochew clan association on behalf of Gran and I thought of dropping by the Geylang Serai Hari Raya Bazaar to have a look and also grab a quick bite as I knew dinner would never commence till past 8.30pm as […]
I really miss those old school bakeries during my childhood days in the 80s that served up straightforward bread buns with simple, homely flavours like ham, otah, hae bee hiam, luncheon meat, etc for just under a dollar each. Unlike these days where all the bakeries seem to be tied up in some intense marketing […]
I had a special affinity with chicken pies even before I was born. I remembered my mum had once told me before that she always had cravings for 2 types of food when she was carrying me. One of them was nasi lemak and the other, chicken pies. Lol. That’s why when she put on […]
I totally dig vegetarian food these days ever since I had a bad bout of severe constipation and piles a few months back that I needed laxatives from the doctor to relieve myself from the unnecessary anxiety and discomfort. So I started eating less meat and consuming more greens which really helped with my daily digestive health. […]
Chwee kueh (steamed rice cake) had never been a big thing for me during my growing up years because I wasn’t a fan of chye poh (preserved radish) which was always heavily soaked in oil. And it was only when the husband decided to settle down in Singapore a few years back and I brought him to various […]
