I’m getting more and more sentimental recently. I wonder if this is all part of aging as I approach my mid-30s. Nostalgic stuffs really draw my attention these days, so does this quaint looking coffee shop with its traditional signboard. I was at Kandahar Street as I wanted to buy some swiss rolls from the […]
There was a time at my old workplace when a Thai client came to Singapore for a site inspection of a conference venue. I was amused when she brought along with her several tupperware containers because she wanted to pack Boon Tong Kee Chicken Rice home for her family for dinner that evening. And she […]
The husband and I were scouting around Upper Thomson Road for dinner options when we came across this Chinese steamboat place at a corner. What beats having hot, piping steamboat to warm our tummies on a cool, rainy day! Besides, the husband had not tried such Chinese style steamboat before as I had only brought […]
Update: For Galicier’s 2014 CNY price list, please click here I have blogged about the nonya kuehs from Galicier last month (read my earlier post here) and I just couldn’t resist going back again. Pineapple tarts are one of the most popular Chinese New Year goodies here in Singapore and I must say they are […]
Penang Delights was voted as one of the top prawn noodle stalls in Singapore by Channel U viewers. Indeed, it is also one of my two favourite places to go to for a tasty bowl of prawn noodles besides Whitley Road Big Prawn Mee. This stall is located at the S11 Food Court (in front of […]
During my Tiong Bahru estate roaming tour, I came across this lovely bakery just opposite the Tiong Bahru Market after whiffing a slight aroma of chinese herbs as I was walking past it. I then realised that this must be the (first) bakery in Singapore that specialises in various healthy breads that are made of […]
I was craving for nonya kuehs and lor mee so I went gallivanting in Tiong Bahru for some good eats. Headed to Tiong Bahru Market for lunch and had queued up at Tiong Bahru Lor Mee Stall (#02-80) for at least 10 minutes but was told their Lor Mee had sold out by the time […]
5 years ago, I tried the Nasi Bojari at Madam Kwan’s at Suria KLCC and I simply couldn’t forget its luscious plate of tri-coloured rice with their signature fried chicken leg, beef rendang and assam prawns. Though Madam Kwan is also available in Singapore now at Vivocity, it just doesn’t feel and taste the same. So […]
I hadn’t made any successful reservation during the last Singapore Restaurant Week as the restaurants that I wanted to visit were all fully-booked by the time I was down to it. So in the recent same event (7-13 October 2013), I acted early to secure a lunch reservation at Taratata Bistrot, not because it was […]
Reputed for its famous traditional tau sar piah (bean paste pastry), Thye Moh Chan almost made its exit from history in 2011 by closing its doors. However the Breadtalk Group decided to preserve the legacy of this 70-year old Teochew bakery with three brand new outlets at Chinatown Point, Parkway Parade and VivoCity. I wasn’t […]
When I was previously working at Raffles Quay, one of my colleagues recommended me to try this thunder tea rice stall. I remembered tasting thunder tea rice a very long time ago but didn’t have a great impression of it because the green coloured tea soup had a very strong flavour that I wasn’t too […]
I felt a little turned off to write this blog post because it wasn’t a fully enjoyable dining experience for me and my family. Normally I don’t even start off my food review with such a comment. Read on to find out more. Craving for steamboat, I decided to bring the family to Danro Japanese […]
Since my previous post on McDonald’s Rendang Beef Burger which I wasn’t too impressed with 2 months ago, I have been wishing for the Samurai Burger to return and now my wait is finally over. Watch the TV commercial here: A boring commercial this time. I’d still prefer a jolly jingle like the one in the earlier […]
I have been to a number of Japanese buffet restaurants and I must say this is one of my preferred ones because it serves my favourite mekajiki (swordfish) sashimi that comes in thick cuts and always taste fresh and sweet. I have had bad experiences where the sashimi served were either slightly frozen (not properly […]
A thick, meaty slab of stingray grilled to perfection and served with tangy, spicy sambal chilli. Tender, moist meat that simply melts in your mouth. Heavenly. That is why my husband and I often head to Chomp Chomp Food Centre (read my earlier food post) for this delish dish. It’s a pity I don’t have […]
Hubby and I came here for a quick bite before heading over to The Mind Cafe @ Funan Centre. We ordered a laksa, nasi lemak and a home-made water chestnut drink to share. The nasi lemak came with an otah, chicken wing, ikan billis (fried anchovies) with peanuts, omelette, cucumber and sambal chilli. I thought […]
