Tze Char from Coffee Express, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4

Happy Birthday, dear husband! You are one year wiser today, woo hoo! 🙂 An exciting day awaits you! Ok, back to food. The folks finally won the Big Sweep for the first time ever after ‘wasting money’ over a span of 30+ years (it’s like winning a few hundred dollars only after losing thousands beforehand but it’s all about the […]

Pine Garden’s Cake @ Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10

I came across Pine Garden’s Cake in my recent Ang Mo Kio food hunt and I recalled this was the same cake shop that the husband had mentioned to me before my birthday because he had read good reviews about its cakes and thought of buying a cake from there for me. (Thank goodness he didn’t!) We […]

Pho Street @ Westgate

Sometimes the simplest things in life would give the most pleasure. Something as simple and insignificant as a bowl of hot piping beef pho noodles is good enough to comfort the tummy and warm the soul. Whenever I see a Vietnamese eatery, I get really excited like a little kid in a candy store. Needless […]

Soup Spoon @ Ion Orchard – A Low Calorie Meal Option

Who says eating out is always unhealthy? There are actually many different types of food that weight watchers can go for and one best option is soup. Soup Spoon is one of my preferred places to go to for western style soups with my all-time favourite being the Simon and Garfunkel Chicken and Mushroom Ragout (at 320 calories […]

Hainan Curry Scissors Rice 海南咖喱剪刀饭 @ Cheng San Food Centre

Having lived in Ang Mo Kio all my life, I know there are actually a lot more to explore in this new town besides the AMK Hub and the already-bustling town centre. I realise there are so many food centres in the neighbourhood that we can go to even though every weekend my husband and […]

Sunny Korean Cuisine @ West Coast Plaza

Whenever I come to this part of Singapore, it’s always to visit the Nike Factory Store (Level 1, West Coast Plaza) to grab new trainers or sports apparel. I was here on a Saturday afternoon but it was clearly not that crowded. Not even in the mall itself so it’s pretty good to just walk around without the […]

Happy Avenue’s Home Baked Kueh Lapis – New Flavours

* Sponsored Review * In my previous review on Happy Avenue (click here to read), I had raved about Judy Then’s traditional plain kueh lapis which I totally adore. It is a layered cake any kueh lapis aspires to be – buttery rich and full of egg flavour – minus the unwelcome grease on the fingers. When Judy told me she would […]

Johan Paris (Japanese Bakery) @ Westgate

Visiting Westgate for the first time last week was really a fruitful experience for me as it is a new mall with new (finally!) shops to explore besides different dining options and of course this enticing bakery too. No good bakery escapes my eyes, lol. That’s how passionate I am with breads, not just any other breads […]

Sushi Take-Out @ Woodlands MRT Station

I really like the convenience of having food kiosks at MRT stations that have been sprouting up in busy suburban towns all over the island these days so grabbing a bite while commuting to & from school or work is simply easy-peasy. When I was at Woodlands earlier, I was just impressed by the long […]

Monster Curry @ Ion Orchard (Revisited)

Since my last visit to Monster Curry (read my earlier blog post here), the husband and I decided to give the Monster Combo Curry Set a try again but this time at a higher spice level of Super Hot. And our verdict? It is still not hot enough! I really don’t think the next and highest […]

[Closed] Sukhothai Kitchen Authentic Thai Cuisine @ Ang Mo Kio Ave 10

Update: Restaurant is now closed. Sawadee Ka! Thai cuisine has always been my all time favourite food because I love the flavours of sweet, sour and spicy that are always so well balanced in all of its dishes. And I like that seafood such as prawns and squids are also commonly used in Thai cuisine […]

Manna Story @ Plaza Singapura

Entering this casual Korean restaurant makes me feel I’m at a friend’s house with a very homely and cosy atmosphere which was really the first thing that caught my eye as the husband and I was roaming around for a lunch option. I’m sure that’s a Korean chef in the kitchen. Everything in here from […]

Where to get cheap & good roast duck in Singapore? Yan Chuan Roaster @ Ubi Ave 2

I have known Ubi as an industrial estate for the longest time ever but when I got wind that it is also a roaster heaven with a good number of roast meat factories and suppliers around, I decided to venture into this godforsaken place and embark on my hunt for cheap and good roast duck […]

Everything with Fries (EwF) @ Orchard Central (Revisited)

Everything with Fries (EwF) is probably one of my few preferred fast food outlets (besides Mackey-D’s) as it serves up some really decent burgers and fries. Plus its outlet at Orchard Central is quite a nice place to chill out in with friends. Every piece of the skinny wing is half a mid-joint section of a […]

Dim Sum High Tea Buffet @ Yum Cha Restaurant, Chinatown

I share a special relationship with Yum Cha Restaurant as it’s a place where I had experienced a few first times. The first dim sum buffet I had with the husband. The first meal my husband had with my parents. The first pre-wedding meal between my in-laws and my parents. Time flies but the nostalgic […]

Ci Wen Vegetarian @ Ang Mo Kio Ave 8

The husband and I often come to this coffeeshop where Astons Express is located and every time we are here dining, we would see people ordering various delectable vegetarian dishes from this particular stall. The frying aroma of their carrot cake and oyster omelette in the air was so tempting too hence we decided to […]
