Like many foodies out there, the husband and I sometimes face what’s commonly known as a ‘first world problem’ because we always don’t know what to eat even though there is a huge hawker centre in our neighbourhood and several coffee shops too. To me, I guess it’s a happy problem because it spurs me on […]
Ever since I visited Spizza @ Club Street five years ago, it has been my favourite pizzeria to go. I totally heart their thin-crusted wood-fired pizzas that are rustic, fresh and comforting. When I knew that Spizza had opened a new outlet at Capitol Piazza, I just had to plan a pizza date with my […]
Last Sunday, fellow bloggers and I were invited to a cooking workshop conducted by Chef Ronald Li, head chef of Salt Tapas and Bar, following the launch of their new brunch menu the day before. Chef Ronald did a demo of these two dishes (one savoury and one sweet) from the new brunch menu. Cigar […]
Honestly, I cannot remember if I’ve ever had a dessert at Mei Heong Yuen though I’ve passed by the shop countless times whenever I come to Chinatown and it is always busy. Initially I thought MHY only sells the usual traditional desserts like red/green bean soup, yam paste, peanut paste, herbal jelly and the like […]
A recent exploration of the Ang Mo Kio neighbourhood led me to discover this herbal bak kut teh stall just a few bus stops away from my house and then I realised later this was the same BKT brand (main branch is at Marsiling Lane) that fellow foodie friends had recommended me some time back. […]
After a really awesome meal of the “Best Chicken Wings in Singapore” from Two Wings, the husband and I came back to Essen again the following weekend for lunch. This time, we checked out 4 of the 5 remaining food stalls and indulged in a sumptuous feast at a fraction of what we would normally […]
Most of you in Singapore have probably heard about Porn’s which is a Thai restaurant chain owned by Singapore Mediacorp TV host, Pornsak Prajakwit. In case you’re wondering why the restaurant has such a name (I know what some of you are thinking!), ‘Porn’ in Thai simply means blessing or happiness. The husband and I […]
I was at Bishan Park more than a week ago for a dog adoption drive and decided to stop by McDonald’s to try their latest Ebi Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. Was really excited because this was my first ‘seafood’ meal since my thyroid surgery last month and didn’t expect it would be fast food […]
“Eat Green, Feel Good!” And I’m not talking about those oily and greasy vegetarian bee hoon with crispy vegetarian goose. These days, vegetarian fare is a notch better than what it used to be in terms of variety. Bento. Sushi. Sashimi. Rendang. Fish Soup. Braised Duck Rice. Burgers. Sandwiches. And so much more. Everything comes […]
There was a period of time before my surgery when I kept going to Yishun because I had to go Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for medical appointments. And one of those days, the husband and I went scouting around for a place to eat and we found this eating house located near the Yishun MRT […]
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 […]
