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 invited to a media event last week at Jurong Point together with other bloggers and media friends to tour their latest addition to the mall which is a themed-destination concept “Mongkok” that replicates the bustling streets and markets of Hong Kong. From now till 31 August 2014, there’d be buskers’ performances, roving acts, on-the-spot games and […]

Sandwich is my new best friend and it’s something that I cannot live without especially on days when I need a quick lunch or a relaxing no-cook dinner. Besides Subway’s sandwiches, NamNam Noodle Bar is probably my only preferred choice of what I call Vietnamese fast food because of its wickedly tasty pork belly banh mi. […]

The husband and I headed to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital just to grab soup for dinner from our favourite stall at the food court only to realise it wasn’t in operation anymore. So sad. Going to a hospital not for medical reasons or to visit anyone but to have dinner. That’s exactly one of the […]

The husband and I came by the ARC for the first time as we had to send our macbook to The Repair Hospital and decided to explore the mall for breakfast options. Not many were available so we settled on Room Coffee Bar. Loved the quote on the wall in the background. This was just a no-frills […]

This is one of the husband’s regular spots for lunch with his colleagues as he keeps raving about its addictive fried wantons that he’s very sure I’d also like. And though most of the food are just average in his opinion, he still doesn’t mind coming back just for the wantons. I used to like one of the […]

Loy Sum Juan Restaurant (黎三元酒家), one of Singapore’s favourite Cantonese restaurants, might have ceased its operation after 40 long years in business but its famous invention of the Har Cheong Gai still continues to please the palates of fans who just can’t have enough of it. Roy Lai, who was the chef at LSJ, started 12 […]

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 […]

This Michelin-starred dim sum restaurant from Hong Kong hit Singapore shores amid a storm of hype more than a year ago but the husband and I had only just visited it recently when we were at Plaza Singapura. There wasn’t a long queue on a late Saturday afternoon, that was why we decided to go for an […]

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 […]

119 @ Bukit Merah is no doubt one of the hippest and most happening neighbourhood joints where we can go eat, drink and socialise. But the unique thing is, it is actually a kopitiam in our local terms and it’s probably the only coffee shop in Singapore that requires a reservation to be made beforehand. Located just a stone’s […]

The husband couldn’t stop raving about this snack when we found 3 bags of them on the supermarket shelf after a lady before us snagged a basket filled with these chips. A colleague of his had brought these Popcorners to office a while ago and everyone gave their thumbs up for the product. They are often out […]
