This is a long overdue post dating back to mid Dec 2011. Tried out a "new" dining concept at the invitation of Sauce Bar (under the Butter Factory group) one Saturday evening. The idea is pretty simple. Have a BBQ sans the mess and the smell. What Sauce will do is provide you a platte...

Was in Taipei for a holiday so dropped by Shin Yeh (欣葉) for lunch since I had heard so much about it and there is even an outlet in Singapore (which I have never tried). Reservations are definitely necessary for the 南西店 or any of the other outlets for that matter especially on weekend...
As the name implies, this has all the bells and whistles thrown into it. Think "The Handburger Original" with onion rings, bacon strips and mushrooms. Absolutely terrific sounding if I may say. But hype/expectation usually precedes reality. First and foremost, the bacon strips were a ...

Done a perfect medium as per my request, the tenderloin did seem a little soft even though I must commend it's excellent flavours. Topped with golden mushrooms (which is rather unconventional), it boasted a strong bovine taste coupled with a nice juiciness and sweet undertones from th...
Just across the shore from the towering Marina Bay Sands, Pierside Kitchen occupies a corner of One Fullerton, playing neighbour to Chinese restaurant, Jing. There is an option of alfresco dining or a rather dim air conditioned interior. We opted for the former as the weather held out...

Not being content with just roast goose alone, I opted for the platter, which which with a selection of roast pork, BBQ pork and roast goose. The BBQ pork or char siew , came across as insipid at first but somehow or rather, the taste slowly grows on you and it actually tastes better ...
Enticed by the AMEX 1 for 1 set menu at Tung Lok and the prospect of catching up, a couple of us met up for dinner at The Central's Signatures (TLS for short) outlet for dinner one evening. I've actually never been a fan of Tung Lok as I've yet to experience really good food at any of...

Popped by Cova Pasticceria for dinner one evening since we were in the vicinity and everywhere else was packed. Started in 1819 in Milan and originally patronised by the crème de la crème of society, Cova has expanded to a few countries in Asia to cater to those who seek "the high lif...

The restaurant is located on the 4th floor or V Hotel, a newly opened hotel directly above Lavender MRT and opposite the ICA. Getting up to the 4th floor can pose quite a problem as the hotel requires you to scan your card in the lift before you can select your desired floor. However,...
Food preparation involving Sous vide, where food is vacuum packed in bags and cooked for a long period of time in a water bath, is seemingly the up and coming approach favoured by many professional restaurants in Singapore. The Tastings Room has hopped onto the bandwagon as well and t...
Walk along Wellington Street and you definitely won't miss the huge the huge golden facade with the words 鏞記 inscribed on it. Or ask anyone on the street. How Yung Kee operates is rather interesting. The lowest level serves walk in customers who want their fix of roasted meat rice or ...

And the arduous trek to have a taste of my much loved "authentic" poutine after almost 10 years is finally over. I found 3 outlets of New York Fries (NYF) scattered all over Hong Kong during my recent visit. And even though I was really really stuffed from my lunch at Lung King Heen ,...
Tsui Wah has quite a few outlets in Hong Kong and they are your regular Char Chan Teng with food quality and service of a certain standard. I love their 奶油豬仔包 though. Such simplicity yet so sinfully delicious. Believe it or not, I had it twice during my very short stay in Hong Kong. S...
I have to admit. The Four Seasons Hong Kong exuded unparallelled class but I wasn't quite taken with Lung King Heen's decor. Floor to ceiling windows provided a view of the Hong Kong Harbour and heavy leather bound chairs made for comfortable seating. However, the shiny curvatures on ...

It's been a while since I've had steak at Mortons, opting instead to go for their burger (standards have dropped!) during my last couple of visits. And I'm glad I decided to order my favourite cut this time round - the fillet mignon. Done up to a perfect medium rare yet a little charr...

Conversation was almost non existent with shouting the preferred method of communication. Simply put, you had to shout about the din to have someone sitting a mere 2 metres away to actually hear you. I attribute that to the ridiculously loud pipe music. For crying out loud, I'm in a p...

It isn't a restaurant per se, but more of a seemingly borderless area where you can dine at and watch planes (and people) go by.The menu is pretty much similar to what you get in a standard HK cafe in Singapore but prices do seem a little higher (think $10-$12 for roast duck noodles),...
