Unfortunately, the food that we had at Tapas 24 was not fantastic. Maybe the chefs had a bad day, maybe we had unreasonably high expectations, or maybe we just ordered the wrong dishes; the food wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be. That said, I can still see myself going back for a ...
, but it never fails to make me happy so who cares if they are cliche. Be it the pretty cupcakes with fanciful toppings, or the plain ones with a messy and rustic look — it is always nice to see a cupcake. If you want to give cupcakes as part of your Valentine’s Day Gift , Marmalade P...

January 26, 2012 | No Comments Bistro Soori is one of those off-the-radar restaurants that you will never know of unless someone recommends it to you. It is a cool, cosy, informal restaurant with a small open kitchen and a few tables, which makes you feel as though you are dining in a...
Visit to Martell Cognac Cooperage January 25, 2012 | No Comments During our behind-the-scenes tour of Martell , I’ve learned a lot about cognac, but really, there are so many things to know and three days are just not enough. That said, we managed to see a bit of everything, and one o...
Of course, I have my own favourite chicken rice stalls, but I’m always on the lookout for new places to try. Chin Chin Eating House at Purvis Street has always been known for their chicken rice, so when I happened to be in the area, I suggested going there for lunch.
I have been craving for Carbonara since the dinner at Barpazza , and I was elated to see it on the Raindrops Cafe menu. I feel that it’s always a risk when ordering the Carbonara. In the hands of less-skillful chefs, the pasta would taste heavy and overwhelming. There were many instan...
For Pig’s Organ Soup and Bak Ku Teh, I’ll go to Zheng Zhi Wen (#01-19). Right beside it, there’s this stall – Snow Mount (#01-17) – selling fried Pisang Goreng. Speaking of which, they also serve Char Kway Teow (I know, it’s a little weird). I had it once and I thought that it was oka...

Haha, I disagree – I reckon if not for the birthday cake, we would probably be heading for Macs for burgers! Heh. It’s time like this that you appreciate Victor’s Kitchen more for its value for money dim sum. One Har Kaw per pax just don’t work out for me – I rather have a whole baske...
Okie, obviously emotional appeals do not work on you. Otherwise how can you explain the fact that plenty of petitions to bring A&W back to Singapore failed? I shall try another method. A&W, you better come back to Singapore. Otherwise, I’ll boycott you when I go overseas.
has three outlets at East Coast Road, Clover Way, and the other at Purvis Street where we went to. The menu is broad in categories: appetisers, curry, tom yum, seafood, beef, chicken, vegetable, rice and noodle; and deep in choices, with plenty of dishes to choose from under each cate...

I like Chinese New Year. It is the time where we go shopping for decoration items, new clothes and Chinese New Year food. It is the time where families get together for the reunion dinner. And of course, it is the time for us to indulge in Chinese New Year traditional goodies like kue...

popular Bak Kut Teh places in Singapore . Whilst the pork ribs in the strong peppery soup base were tasty, I am not sure if I will wake up and go all the way to Rangoon road just for Bak Kut Teh. The Pork Trotter was also not too bad, but it paled in comparison to the one that I had at
I have tried two of out three of the hokkien mee stalls in Bukit Timah Hawker Centre . On one occasion, we decided to try Fried Hokkien Mee (Stall 145) because of the long queue. Unfortunately, the hokkien mee was a total letdown, the sambal chili wasn’t spicy enough, and the taste of...

#3 Know what you need to do, you are here for a reason. When you are having the buffet, don’t feel guilty about indulging in good food. Eat first, worry later. You can always exercise to burn off the calories after the dinner. In life, things always happen for a reason. You are meant ...
; everyone raved that the best food in France could be found there. The Bouchon is a Lyonnais version of the classic French bistro. I’ll be writing a separate post on the food that we had, to cut the long story short, I had one of my best meals in 2011, if not my life, at Café des Féd...
