Once dingy and old, Clifford Pier has been transformed almost beyond recognition. It's now part of the Fullerton Heritage waterfront dining and entertainment precinct. You may feel like you've stepped into a five-star hotel lounge cum cultural museum once you enter the glass doors. The 10,000 square feet upscale dining establishment here is One on the Bund, but you won't see … 
Springy noodles with blanched beansprouts and fried pork lard!, upload feito originalmente por Camemberu.I like a good bowl of dry mee pok that stays springy and QQ til the very last bite. This one has nicely blanched fresh beansprouts (look at how white and clean they are). And most importantly, fried pork lard bits! Would prefer a slightly more robust flavour for the …
Minced meat noodles with "mee kia" (thin noodles), originally uploaded by Camemberu.In this day and age of increasing prices (especially that of flour and chicken skyrocketing of late), I was quite surprised to find that there are still S$2 cheap eats to be had. And in just one day, I found three in Bedok alone. But how do they fare?First one up is Chai Chee Minced Meat …
Oyster omelette, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Oyster omelette or or luak is one of my most favourite sinful foods. This looked good on other people's tables, and I hadn't had any in a long time, so I got me some too. Just a tiny portion (S$3) since this is such a grease bomb. There's no way this plump juicy oyster can escape..., originally uploaded by Camemberu.I know …
Can you smell the weekend? Brunch by the sea.... warm sunshine dancing on your cheeks.... soft sand kissing your toes... cool waters... suntan lotion. Most of all, good company and a good book (or perhaps a kayak for the more actively inclined). This is the life!We brought the whole family to the beach at Sentosa recently, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It's been years …
The apartment is shaking...pretty badly! Wooozy!Tremors felt since 4.40pm - poor Indonesia must be taking another quake hit!
Clear but tasty beef ball soup, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Thanks to ieat's intriguing post, I made an effort to come to Syed Alwi Road to sample what is probably Singapore's only version of Hakka-style beef balls that are still laboriously handmade. The soup here is very cheng (light and clear) but I fancy it is no less tasty. Those who like strong, pungent-flavoured …
Spaghetti Carbonara, originally uploaded by Camemberu.I first read about this on ChubbyHubby's blog and his description of spaghetti carbonara with wok hei (breath of wok, or the much-desired smoky quality in stir-fried food imparted by using a really hot wok) more than convinced me this was something I had to try. I love hole-in-the-wall places that offer great food! But …
Diandin Leluk takeaway counter, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Golden Mile Complex is Singapore's "Little Thailand" and it's a whole different world in there. The atmosphere can be a tad rundown and seedy but it's also where you can get some authentic Thai eats. The Diandin Leluk restaurant in there is pretty well-known. I was quite charmed by their takeaway counter …
Snowflake or tree branch-like crystallization, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Does anyone know how the name "century eggs" or "thousand-year eggs" came about? The Chinese name 皮蛋 just me …
Braised duck and pig's ears, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Pig's ears! How rarely I see them in Singapore (or am I just moving in the wrong circles?). Recently I spied plates of braised goodies including pig's ears when passing by this Luk Lu Eating House, so I swore I had to come by someday.Well, pig's ears alone was a strange order, so the stall owner suggested some duck …
Kueh Pie Tee, originally uploaded by Camemberu.The Simple Life is where you'd head if you're yearning for hawker fare in a comfy, air-conditioned environment with table service. Or stuck at Wheelock Place and don't want to fight the crowds elsewhere for food. Most people would agree the food here isn't fantastic but isn't disastrous either. The kueh pie tee (S$5.90) is not …
Happy February! We have two fabulous reasons to dine exceptionally well this month - Lunar New Year and Valentine's Day. Brad, Ju and I were very lucky to have the chance to preview some festive menus from waterfront restaurants at the Fullerton Heritage precinct. Let's start with Forlino. Where else can you get Italian fine-dining with impeccable service plus incredible … 
Kia Hiang Restaurant has been around for more than 30 years. I never knew they were the first to use durian puree in mooncakes. (Will we ever see a debate on who invented what mooncake first, like the food fight a certain Malaysian minister stirred up recently? Haha) Anyway, Kia Hiang sent me a box of baked and snowskin mini mooncakes each, including their latest creation - …
Wow, I've just found out there's more to the Chinese animal zodiac than the 12 animal years and five elements. You also have an "inner animal" based on your lunar birth month and "secret animal" based on your hour of birth."To sum it up, while a person might appear to be a dragon because they were born in the year of the dragon, they might also be a snake internally and an …
Chicken Winglets - TSC Style, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Mmmh, just had to blog this. Chicken wings from Tong Shui Cafe (again, yeah, sorry, I know a lot of people don't like this joint). Fried piping hot with crispy skin! You can have it four ways - BBQ sauce, etc, this is the regular or Tong Shui signature style. Never mind the bed of mayo and tomato sauce it sat on. …
Wasn't able to post anything yesterday. Finally came crashing down, defeated by a virulent rhinovirus (common cold) bug I probably picked up from my stay in the hospital (Land of the Superbugs!)...grr. Cough, sore throat, runny nose. Now I can't taste or smell my food.But! I can still watch and hear food quite well. I thought I'd share one of my favourite TV shows - Alton …
KFC served us mini drinks while they prepared our order, originally uploaded by Camemberu. I'm sure you've come across times when you've had to wait at the side for your order of fast food to be prepared and sent to you. Such was the case at a KFC outlet in Batu Pahat. But we were pleasantly surprised when a staff came out bearing Coke in little cups for us. …

Gogo Beanz, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Spotted this stall selling soybean related drinks and desserts, manned by a polite, young, English-speaking lad. Desserts and drinks here are quite affordable, most just over a dollar. You can choose toppings like candy jelly, tapioca pearls, longan, red bean, aloe vera, grass jelly, gingko nuts, white fungus, attap seeds and even …
