I have no qualms about recommending Dona Manis Cake Shop to anyone who enjoys traditional sweet treats like a good old banana pie. In fact I don’t think there is another bakery in Singapore that does banana pies in the same way as Dona Manis. That’s probably why their banana pies are so special even […]

My maternal great grandmother was a Teochew who came to Singapore from Swatow, China. I remembered the times when all of us would gather around the dining table to help or watch her make traditional kueh during festive occasions. Her yam cake and png kueh were the best. Ever since 老嬤 passed away, I hadn’t […]

If you want to try boat noodles in Bangkok, do not miss out the Victory Monument Boat Noodles Alley where several different boat noodle restaurants are situated next to one another by a canal. Not exactly the most authentic experience as the noodles are not served from boats. They are tasty, nonetheless. As each bowl […]

Last year, I had reviewed Ah Seng Bak Kut Teh which one of my readers recommended me to try as I was searching for good BKTs in Singapore. I was back here a few weeks ago to have lunch after my therapy session. Wanted to try their noodles as I had seen customers ordering it […]

Get 10% off your bill when you dine at Citrus Bistro (Details at the end of this post) Had a media tasting on our hiking day so we put on our exercise gear and took a 8km walk from Ang Mo Kio to Sengkang which took us less than 1 1/2 hours to complete. Definitely […]

I had come across Cat and the Fiddle on Instagram for a long time and I thought I would order their Fickle Feline cheesecake this time just to surprise the husband as he was craving for cheesecake. For those of you who haven’t heard of Cat and the Fiddle, well, it is an online cheesecake […]

Since I blogged about Nakhon Kitchen last year, I had been back to the restaurant countless times whenever my craving for Thai food kicked in. It never fails to satisfy my palate and tummy every time. When I came back from my latest Bangkok trip, I had a really bad hangover (+ weight gain too, […]

Not the fast food brand but Korean Fried Chicken. This Broadway Kopitiam at Blk 721 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 is now one of my favourite coffeeshops in Ang Mo Kio because it houses food stalls that offer a pretty good range of different cuisines like Astons Express (affordable, tasty Western food), Ci Wen Vegetarian […]

Was at The Star Vista/Theatre two weeks ago for Yiruma Live in Singapore 2017 concert. I was so happy to finally get the chance to watch his performance ‘cos I missed it in 2015. Thanks to Hubby this time – he managed to get tickets very early. Nothing over the top – no special effects […]

I shared the below picture on Instagram last year. “I always like the fish soups from Arcade and Maxwell Market & this one is also quite on par if not better. For just $4.50, it comes with an incredibly generous portion of fried fish, chye sim, tomatoes and silken tofu. The broth is laden with […]

Update: This restaurant is no longer in operation. If you live near or have been to Greenwood Avenue, you would agree that this quiet suburb in Bukit Timah is just like a Little Italy. It is home to several Italian restaurants and pizzerias that offer an authentic taste of the bel paese. I was recently […]

The husband was craving for Indian food. I was craving for vegetarian. So when we went Tekka Market to buy spices one weekend, I was casually asking one shopkeeper for her recommendations for Indian vegetarian food and Gokul Vegetarian Restaurant at Upper Dickson Road (nearest MRT is Little India) was one of the options that popped up. We made our way […]

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 […]

A friend once said she preferred Lao Ban’s cold soya beancurd to traditional one like Rochor’s but she wasn’t aware that the former is made from soy bean powders (see my recipe here) whereas the latter is made from real beans. If you remember the Rochor beancurd saga many years back where a group of […]

Nasi Padang is the quintessential cuisine of the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra in Indonesia and its name is derived from the capital city of Padang. Padang cuisine is well known for its heavy use of spices, chillies and coconut milk that give food robust and aromatic flavours. I haven’t been to Padang before, neither […]
