Enjoying restaurant quality food without breaking the bank is indeed a dream come true. Now we can all indulge in good meals at what I call an upscale food court or coffeeshop like the new Essen that’s located at The Pinnacle @ Duxton. Very similar concept to Salut Coffeeshop @ 119 Bukit Merah Lane 1, Essen […]

Update: This restaurant has ceased operation w.e.f. 26 June 2016. Most of you in Singapore have probably heard of 1 Market by now. Or perhaps you would remember seeing pictures of Chef Wan whenever you pass by this restaurant while at Plaza Singapura. That’s right. 1 Market (a clever word play on Chef Wan’s name) is […]

05/16 update: Seems like Dairy Queen has ceased operation in Singapore. It’s funny that the husband and I have now reversed roles. I used to be the one hooked onto online shopping but now he is the one looking out for deals and steals, haha. So while he was browsing for gadgets on Qoo10 a […]

I used to work near United Square years back and would often come by the Cedele outlet here for their soups during lunch. Their curry pumpkin soup and home-style beef stew were (and still are) my favourites and what I also liked about dining there was the free flow of artisanal breads that they provided. […]

I had known about Ocean Curry Fish Head more than five years ago when fellow colleagues highly raved about it. We would head there for lunch every now and then and I could still remember their very awesome Nonya-style fish head curry that was so worth travelling all the way there for. I hadn’t visited […]

When it comes to fish & chips, Fish & Co. has always been my preferred choice since my college days more than a decade ago which is also one of the few casual dining restaurants in Singapore that I would keep going back on a regular basis. Though I’ve seen and known about Boston Seafood […]

I came by City Vibe with H as we wanted to redeem our frozen yogurt treats that we got from Qoo10. We were quite surprised that even though Clementi was a bustling town centre, this mall that was located near to the MRT Station and next to Clementi Mall was just deserted even on a […]

The husband and I came by Ensogo Singapore’s office @ CT Hub a while back as we had to pick up an iPad bluetooth keyboard that we ordered on deal.com.sg. We were planning to have lunch at Taiwan Railway Bento but it was no longer in operation – what a shame because we did like their concept […]

Shrove Tuesday (also known as Pancake Day) is the day before Lent (the Christian season of preparation before Easter) begins and is celebrated in some countries by making and eating pancakes. This visit to Shrove Tuesday was a memorable one because it was the first time D and I went food-hopping together. I had brought […]

Not long ago, I had reviewed Udon Goen @ Wisma Atria where I swooned over its value-for-money and ginormous Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry Rice that was tasty and so-very-satisfying. This time round, I was invited to Washoku Goen @ VivoCity for a tasting session to try out its sumibiyaki (means charcoal grill in Japanese) which […]

Ever since my health started going downhill, my husband had been my greatest pillar of strength. I woke up this morning and took a moment to count my blessings. I might not have 100% good health but I’m lucky and blessed to have a kind, caring and patient husband who is always there when I […]

It’s once again the time of the year to prowl through the festive bazaars at Geylang Serai to sniff out some interesting new eats. Last year, I had swooned over the pide (leaf-shaped Turkish flat bread pizza) and sotong panggang (grilled squid). This time round, I was quite excited to see so many newcomers in the […]

The husband and I were doing some shopping at Wisma Atria when suddenly he just recalled this Instagram picture that I showed him the other day – it was a post from a fellow blogger who was recommending this new Japanese stall at Wisma Atria’s Food Republic that served up a humongous portion of curry […]

Update: Javier’s Rotisserie & Salad Bar had ceased operation w.e.f. 10 January 2016.  If you had been a fan of Ponderosa and/or Sizzler in the good old days, you probably would have known about Javier’s Rotisserie & Salad Bar for its similar salad buffet. Javier’s is actually named after the son of Aston Soon, the […]
