Update: This bakery is now closed. The husband always says I’m very ‘atas’ when it comes to bread because I only buy expensive ones from posh-looking bakeries. While it is true to a certain extent that I do find most of those breads truly worth the calories but it’s also because I’ve not been wowed by any […]

Most of the time, the husband and I only come to this food court for Penang Delights Prawn Mee & Lor Mee (read my review here) which is one of the better ones I’ve tried in Singapore. Just two months ago, we were gallivanting late at night around AMK Central and felt like having something light for […]

Originating from Hakata, Kyushu, Japan, Yoshimaru Ramen Bar in Singapore is a franchise business managed by the Jumbo Group. The restaurant serves up the famous classic Hakata style Tonkotsu Ramen that is authentically made in the same way as the Japanese does. After the husband had successfully conquered the Yoshimaru Ramen Challenge on Sunday (read about […]

I visited Duke Bakery for the first time last month when the husband and I dropped by the Novena area for lunch. As always, I have a soft spot for artisanal breads and even though I know I shouldn’t be consuming so much carbs while trying to lose weight, I just couldn’t resist them. There’s something so […]

I’m sure everyone of us residing in Singapore has a favourite prata place to go to and Casuarina Curry is one that I have been frequenting since the 90s when my mum stumbled upon the restaurant on her way to Thomson Plaza and fell in love with its plain pratas and curries. There’s nothing extraordinary […]

I really couldn’t remember when was the last time I had salt baked chicken so when the husband and I were at Parkway Parade and we saw Lam’s Salt Baked Chicken at Food Republic, we just had to order something to share even though we already had a Subway 6″ each for dinner. Salt Baked Chicken […]

Did I just give it all away with such a subject line to this post? 🙂 Toa Payoh Lorong 1 around the Braddell MRT Station brings back some fond memories of the past. The student care centre at which I had worked as a teacher during my university days used to be located here before it moved to Toa […]

Following lunch at Sunny Choice (read my earlier blog post here), we continued down The Rail Mall and spotted this ice cream parlour mid-way that serves up guilt-free ice cream. Exactly what we needed. How could we give this a miss? We tried a few flavours and decided on Salted Gula Melaka (bottom scoop, hidden) and Very […]

I hadn’t been to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve for like two decades. The last time I did a trek there was during my secondary school days when I was part of the National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC). And since the husband hadn’t been there too since moving to Singapore, I thought it’d be a good opportunity for us […]

I spotted this Chinese snack kiosk when I was at Woodlands MRT Station and got really excited as it sells my favourite scallion pancake 葱油饼 that I always find it hard to resist. Made of such humble ingredients yet so delish. Since I had eaten some of the best scallion pancakes and meat buns at Shandong […]

I had long heard about the vintage high tea at House at Dempsey but hadn’t had the chance to visit earlier as the high tea is only available on Thursdays and Fridays. Just when I was planning a day out for the husband’s Big 3-0 birthday two weeks ago, I realised his big day was […]

I’ve been a regular of Thai Express since a decade ago. And to date, I still think it serves up the best seafood phat thai in Singapore which is always my sure-to-order item every time I’m here. And the best part is, no matter which Thai Express branch I go to, standard of their food […]

When I told the husband that there is this ramen shop at 100AM that serves free-flow hard-boiled eggs, I could immediately see a twinkle in his eyes. I’m sure he loves eggs more than his wife, lol. And I often feel bad for restricting his egg yolk intake because it is so not good for health especially when he consumes […]

As part of my Ang Mo Kio food hunt, I made my way to Mayflower Market & Food Centre wanting to eat this fishball noodles which I thought was pretty good when I tried it a long while back but the stall had closed and was replaced by a pastry shop. So I walked to the other […]

Godma and I were at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 as she wanted to grab a bottle of ointment (to ease joint pains and muscle aches) from this Chinese medical hall at Blk 302 whose physician happens to be Wong Fei Hong’s 4th generation disciple. I’m fascinated by resourceful folks like Godma herself who always […]
