Been a while since I last visited Whampoa market for Singapore local food. And it was only in recent weeks when I had been frequenting the area to buy bread from the nearby traditional bakeries that I had the chance to explore further. First up, let’s take a look at the Best Lu Mian In […]

Been almost 3 years since I last reviewed D’Rubinah Restaurant. Whenever the husband and I came by Sembawang Shopping Centre, we would almost always come here for a nasi briyani which I think is still one of the better ones out there. On my last visit, Godma and I shared a lontong which was incredibly […]

The husband and I had been wanting to try this really popular stall at People’s Park Food Centre (just next to OG Department Store) but the roast meat (siu yok) was completely sold out on the last couple of occasions we were here. This time we came by about 1pm on a Saturday afternoon for […]

Though I’ve lived in Ang Mo Kio for the longest time ever, there are still a number of places I’ve yet to explore including this particular precinct. Previously I was in the vicinity to buy cakes from Pine Garden and this time round I was supposed to have lunch at Nakhon Kitchen with the makan […]

Ask my husband which is his favourite bak kut teh in Singapore to date and he will definitely reply, “Ya Hua”. He has been regularly patronising Ya Hua BKT during lunch time with his colleagues for quite a while now since their office is nearby so in our earlier BKT adventure, he insisted that I should […]

The husband and I wanted to have lunch at Nakhon Kitchen at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 but it was closed (without notice) on that day so we ended up eating duck rice from a nearby coffeeshop. We were about to make our way to Coffee Bean at AMK Hub for a coffee fix when […]

Hello folks! How’s CNY preparation coming along? Just one more week to go. I’m back from a cruise on Sapphire Princess (amazing experience!) and still feeling quite shagged after a few nights of little or no sleep. Too much action at the casino, lol. And I’m having a bad sunburn and rash on my body which […]

Update: This outlet had closed. Bentos were first introduced to Taiwan by the Japanese many decades ago and railway bentos simply grew in popularity as people packed rice boxes to eat onboard the train during long inter-city journeys. Unlike the Japanese equivalent that’s normally chilled, Taiwanese railway bentos are served hot with a wide variety […]

My Bak Kut Teh adventure continues, lol. Right after having an unexciting BKT at Song Fa the day before, the husband insisted that we should go try the famous Founder BKT @ Balestier that so many people had raved about. Even celebrities like Jay Chou would always visit this place whenever he is in Singapore. Hmm, what’s so great […]

Whenever the craving for chilled seafood & foie gras strikes, one place that comes to mind is often Basilico that offers a luxurious Italian brunch buffet with a sumptuous seafood spread, an amazing array of cheeses in a dedicated room, a foie gras counter and of course, not forgetting the all-time favourites of homemade pizzas, pastas, […]

I’m now a convert and I don’t mean it religiously. From a previous ‘I don’t like peppery bak kut teh’ attitude to the current ‘I want to eat peppery bak kut teh’ mindset, I can’t help but feel amused that my tastebuds have yet again evolved (likely with age?) or perhaps I’m just a late BKT bloomer, lol. Well, thanks to my BKT-fanatic husband, we had […]

Flock Cafe is a family-run cafe nestled in a quiet side of Tiong Bahru that one can easily miss out on unless you’re going for the mee pok at Hua Bee (or Bincho yakitori restaurant by night) which is just next door. A modern outfit with a touch of industrial chic – natural wood & metal combined with concrete flooring – it’s […]

Godma and I headed to Temple Street to shop for crockery and cookware at our favourite Sia Huat which took us quite a long time. That’s why I need a like-minded soul to go kitchenware shopping with me as the husband never understands why we women need so much time in a shop like this, […]

As more and more new hipster cafe-hopping enclaves that are worth discovering & exploring are just sprouting up all over the island, Tiong Bahru seems to be less interesting than before as it is riddled with so many cafes of the same nature but… TB truly has this old school charm that is totally unparalleled. And […]

Update: Cafebiz is now known as J65. Goodbye Traders. Hello Jen. If you’ve not heard about the news, well, the former Traders Hotel on Cuscaden Road had been rebranded as Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore (not to be confused with Hotel Jen Orchardgateway Singapore) since September last year. The old Traders Hotel had been one of […]
