Godma and I headed to Temple Street to shop for crockery and cookware at our favourite Sia Huat which took us quite a long time. That’s why I need a like-minded soul to go kitchenware shopping with me as the husband never understands why we women need so much time in a shop like this, […]

As more and more new hipster cafe-hopping enclaves that are worth discovering & exploring are just sprouting up all over the island, Tiong Bahru seems to be less interesting than before as it is riddled with so many cafes of the same nature but… TB truly has this old school charm that is totally unparalleled. And […]

Update: Cafebiz is now known as J65. Goodbye Traders. Hello Jen. If you’ve not heard about the news, well, the former Traders Hotel on Cuscaden Road had been rebranded as Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore (not to be confused with Hotel Jen Orchardgateway Singapore) since September last year. The old Traders Hotel had been one of […]

Peek-a-boo! The husband and I met up with MS & C, our ‘son’ and ‘daughter-in-law’ for a Sunday brunch. Gave the kids 3 venue options of which they picked The Beast along Jalan Klapa which is right smacked in the middle between Bugis MRT and Lavender MRT Stations so walking there from either station is just […]

My love for Singapore food is probably beyond imagination, lol. When I had to travel frequently for business in a previous job, the one thing that I’d always miss was our char kway teow, bak chor mee, chicken rice and the like because these local eats are simply a myriad of flavours, aromas, sights and sounds that are not only appetising but […]

Indonesian food has always been one of my preferred Southeast Asian cuisines because of the heavy use of various spices in almost every dish which creates these robust and aromatic flavours that linger on the palates and make me hanker for more. Simply irresistible. I was recently invited to a food tasting at Warung Kampung, set up by first-time […]

The husband and I headed down to Tiong Bahru for our monthly stocking-up spree at Foodie Market Place and went around looking for somewhere to have lunch as usual. It was about 1.30pm on a Saturday and we were happy to see that Ah Bong’s Italian was still open (we came by too late the last time) which […]

I hadn’t come back here for dim sum for a long while now though this stall which has been in operation for almost 30 years is just less than a 10-minute walk away from my house. How convenient! One of the Sundays, the husband and I decided to wake up early and head here for yum […]

The husband and I were back at Jalan Besar to hunt for some bathroom parts. And as usual we would have our favourite curry rice lunch at Beach Road Scissor Cut Curry Rice whenever we were there. I must be feeling really ravenous that day because my tummy wasn’t exactly satisfied after a big plate of curry rice […]

For those who had been to Food Republic on Level 4 of Wisma Atria, you probably would have come across Koh Grill & Sushi Bar, a Japanese restaurant that always seemed so busy and packed with patrons. I’d long heard about the highly raved restaurant especially its signature ‘shiok maki’ of which I often see pictures […]

Parklane Zha Yun Tun Mee House used to have an outlet at North Bridge Commercial Complex (the current Bugis Cube) along North Bridge Road and I often had my lunch there when I was working at Liang Seah Street many years back. When the outlet closed several years ago, I was deeply disappointed as I […]

This mixed rice stall has been in our neighbourhood food centre for a number of years now. Every time I’m there, I always see a queue, rain or shine especially in the early morning where everyone is getting their breakfast from here. This may look like any ordinary mixed veg rice stall with various dishes to […]

The husband and I specifically came by Alexandra Village Food Centre to get muffins from AJ Delights as I was craving for the Chocolate Streusel and we decided to have an early dinner here too. Not many stalls were open at the time we were there so it was a really quick decision to settle for Thai food. […]

Whenever I came by Chinatown previously, I was always fascinated by these 凉拌菜 food stalls that sold an array of different Sichuan cold dishes or appetisers from assorted meats, offals, noodles to vegetables but I had never given them a try only until recently. A week ago, the husband and I were at People’s Park Complex late in the […]

Joining The Bravery and Windowsill In The Woods in the hipster hood of Jalan Besar on Horne Road is this new artisanal bakery cafe, Two Bakers which is helmed by two Le Cordon Bleu Paris trained pastry chefs. The cafe not only serves up delectable French & American pastries that are handcrafted and baked fresh daily but […]
