Update Nov 2015: This cafe has closed. The husband and I had an enjoyable Indian vegetarian lunch at Upper Dickson Road and decided to take a walk in the vicinity when we spotted this retro-looking cafe along Dunlop Street, just beside Zsofi Tapas Bar. Needless to say, it was the decor that really caught my eye as […]
I was on my way to Ikea Alexandra to hunt for a shoe rack when I decided to stop by ABC market for brunch. I’d heard about Wow Wow West a long while back but hadn’t been back to try it yet and I was quite surprised to see the stall open that early. Having Western […]
One of the best salted egg paus (‘steamed buns’) I ever had was actually bought from the chilled section of the supermarket. Actually, I was surprised that I could get such high quality salted egg buns without having to visit an established dim sum restaurant so now I would just stock up with these ready packs and […]
People who work around Sin Ming area would probably know this really popular braised duck rice stall. I was introduced to this stall years ago by a colleague and had been here numerous times for lunch. Every time, I would see a long queue of customers at lunch time. But this braised duck rice stall is one that’s worth […]
Right after Baker Talent opened for business at Ang Mo Kio Central, I spotted another new bakery Yuen Long Hong Kong Pastry & Buns just diagonally across which always has a queue of patrons whenever I pass by. Not a bad thing actually. It just means we have more choices of bakeries in the town central now. The husband […]
I first came to know about this yong tau foo place a few years ago when an ex-colleague drove us here for lunch and we had come here couple of times since then as the food was good. This place is quite hard to get to if you have no car as it’s located in a rather remote area […]
Some would probably be familiar with Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine especially if you love Teochew food. The restaurant which is located at the 169-year-old Chui Huay Lim Club along Keng Lee Road, serves up some of the most authentic Teochew dishes that epitomise traditional Teochew cooking at its best with homely fare like Teochew muay (porridge) to the […]
Update Sep 2015 This cafe has relocated to: 80 Bencoolen Street NAFA Campus 1 Wing A #01-15 Singapore 189655 Finally finally…there’s a new cafe in Ang Mo Kio! Probably the only one here as well. And the best part is, it’s just located within a 5-min walk from my home! Woohoo! The Hang Out Cafe (formerly known […]
I’m a weird foodie sometimes. While I like to explore new eating places and experience new foods, I also have the tendency to revisit a restaurant several times within a short period of time just because I really like it. It happened to me again recently after I visited Sushi Express at Citylink Mall for the 3rd […]
The husband and I accomplished another ‘hike’ over the weekend but this time, we weren’t on any designated walking trail amidst lush greenery or nature. We actually explored Geylang Road -> Joo Chiat Road -> East Coast Road on foot and probably covered 5km in distance within 1.5 hours which was quite a decent workout. […]
If you ask me where we can find the best char siew in Singapore, I think it definitely has got to be Fatty Cheong which is famous for its Bu Jian Tian (不见天 – means ‘never see the sky’) char siew that is a cut from the pig’s armpit area. Besides that, it also serves […]
I think I’m quite a ‘biased’ ban mian eater because I only go for my favourite Qiu Lian Ban Mian and I don’t give others a chance after having had some bad ones. This time round, I was surprised I decided to give a new ban mian stall a try, probably because I was captivated by 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 […]
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, […]
Update: This cafe is now closed. My ‘partner-in-crime’ and I dedicated a Saturday as our brainstorming day to talk about our business plans and it couldn’t have been a better time to pick a quaint and quiet area to discuss things in peace while enjoying a good cuppa with assorted bites on a lazy afternoon. And so we were here at Everton Park, […]
