I’m sorry, I disagree with tk – what is a burger place with really good buns, and sub standard meat and ingredients in between? I’ve had more than a few burgers (high end fancy smancy to our malaysian cousin Ramly) and while the bun is key, as long as it holds its shape while the good...
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been on a hunt for the best Tonkatsu in Singapore , and since Tonkichi Restaurant has always been known as one of the top tonkatsu speciality restaurants, I decided to go there for my first stop. It has been a while since my last visit to Tonkichi, so I w...
Crystal Jade Golden Palace at Paragon is a modern restaurant, with a sexy and dark tone. Most Chinese restaurants are quite boring when it comes to the interior decor. Not Crystal Jade Golden Palace. It is definitely one of the most gorgeous Chinese restaurants that I’ve been to.
If you ever find yourself having breakfast at Yut Kee , please do everyone a favor and order the Roti Babi. It is a sandwich made from white bread and stuffed with shredded pork, onions, and crabmeat; dipped in egg and deep fried. Becky and Marcky ordered the Lam Mee which I felt was ...
When I was planning my trip to Europe last year, I told myself that London must be included in the itinerary. Which is strange because London has never been one of the must-go cities for me. I guess it is partly because of my friends. Many of them are frequent visitors to London, and ...
jinghong: Hello i have been to Hua Ting, i feel that their dim sum is pretty decent but I still prefer Yan Ting/royal china/taste paradise. Will check out Peach Blossom next! Joyce: I know man, it’s such a shame I haven been to the Imperial Treasure at GWC/Paragon, they are supposedly...

For those of you who are familiar with the online scene, I’m sure you know that Social Media Week took place on 13-17 Feb this year. I was invited by the kind folks at Harbour City – the biggest shopping mall in Hong Kong – to go to the land of dim sum as a speaker for one of the four...
Mikuni’s sommelier (one of the few who specialises in Japanese Sake) was pouring different kinds of sake to pair with the food. The Potato and Crab Tempura that came next was fantastic. (I am very sure I was still sober by then, so I wasn’t influenced by the sake. Stop looking at me l...
Miyabi: OOPS! sorry i made a mistake in the address, already changed it! wow you stayed just across? Lucky you! do you have their nasi lemak everyday? hahah what other good food is a must try in the chong pang hawker center? vanessa: white bee hoon? so they are like a econmical bee ho...
Yayoiken Restaurant Liang Court February 15, 2012 | No Comments I’m always on the lookout for restaurants that have good food at affordable prices, but I don’t have much luck when it comes to Japanese food as most places tend to be a) cheap but mediocre, or b) good but expensive. Beat...
When it comes to chocolate desserts, no one does it better than Laurent Bernard Chocolatier . Formerly known as The Chocolate Factory, the newly renamed Laurent’s Café & Chocolate Bar has two branches at Robertson Quay and Portsdown road. Whenever I’m having dinner at the Robertson Qu...
Both the Grilled Striploin Steak and Grilled Ribeye Steak were decent, but nothing to write home about. Maybe it’s because we were having high expectations of Bedrock Steakhouse, but we were not blown away. Don’t get me wrong, the steaks were well-executed and better-than-average. I g...
It really makes me happy when readers tell me that they find my list posts useful, and they even go on a food adventure to try out all the places. Wow, thank you! So just a quick update, I’m currently researching (read: eating) things like best Mac & Cheese, Scones, Cupcakes, Tonkatsu...
I didn’t like both my experience at Forty Hands. I find the deliberate mix of those retro styled plates and utensils against the contemporary decor a bit been-there-done-that and it falls quite flat in terms of the coffee and the cakes. The staff’s recommended Carrot Cake/Banana Cake ...
angeline: you always go to punggol nasi lemak? is it really so good? haha yea it’s somewhat similar to miss clarity cafe ladysuki: hahahaha if a Westie like me can go all the way to Tanjong katong for dinner, I am sure everyone can do it! jiaying: I have to admit in certain way, yes! ...
Watami Singapore Japanese Restaurant is the epitome of a causal, affordable Japanese dinner. When the Japanese restaurant first opened the branch at Ion Orchard, the crowd was unbelievable – well it still is – there’s always a long queue forming outside during peak hours. It took me s...

and housed at the corner of the Red Dot Traffic Building sits OTTO Ristorante . This classy, unpretentious establishment serves amazing Italian fare with a new-age influence. It’s a great place to have a business lunch, bond with the family over a good meal or even for a
Nothing about the food is extraordinary. It was decent, but nothing was so exceptional that I’d dream about it at night. That being said, Ssikkek Korean Restaurant offers a value for money buffet , making it an ideal place to go if you are on a budget.
(181 Orchard Road #07-02 Orchard Central Tel: + 65 6834 4829) is the place to go for good and relatively affordable cooking classes. They offer different cooking classes (two hour class is $45/pax) ranging from baking French cakes; to learning how to prepare authentic Indonesian dishe...
No matter where I go, camera is one of the things I always bring along. Be it photos of food, or people, the captured memories are priceless. If you are still thinking of a Valentine’s Day gift for your boyfriend , why not get a nice camera? A decent midrange DSLR camera (like Nikon D...
February 5, 2012 | No Comments Given the amount of influence bloggers have on consumer behaviour, I think it’s only fair that bloggers maintain transparency and let readers know what they’re getting into. There have been recent cases where bloggers in other countries got into trouble ...
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...
