Southernoise shared with us a gem of a little eatery called "2nd Kitchen" on the ground floor of Value Hotel at Balestier. It's cosy, tiny (seats less than 20 inside) and spartan, but serves pretty good food to a steady stream of customers. Reservations are advised if you prefer to sit inside the air-conditioned section (lots of al fresco seating too, for smokers, … 
New diet drinks in my neighbourhood Cold Storage supermarket, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Woohoo! Slowly but surely, we are seeing more sugar-free drinks on the shelves of supermarkets in Singapore! The renovated and expanded Cold Storage at Parkway Parade now features Diet A&W Cream Soda, 7-Up Free and Diet Dr Pepper! Sure, some of you will still prefer the natural …
Dining interior - this table is always reserved!, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Yes. Yes. The mystery Japanese place I blogged about earlier is Wahiro at Katong Mall. Some of you may have guessed it already, some of you may even have already eaten here and a few might be going "Huh, Wahiro?"Wahiro is actually an open secret. It has no lack of customers and I hear Japanese …
Google Ads - Bad Breath in a Food Blog?, originally uploaded by Camemberu.I've been looking curiously at the Google ads on my blog. Since they're based on keywords found here, they should turn up some related and interesting links. Yes, there have been the usual food/drink/restaurant related links. Yes, the "Lose Your Belly Fat!" ads too. Occasionally some odd ones like …
Fried Carrot Cake - White Version, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Does this look good? White version carrot cake (really more radish cake) with crispy egg and lots of spring onions. I love crispy egg! Unfortunately, it didn't taste as good as it looked. Very bland and unsatisfying. Missing lots of seasoning and the most criticial ingredient - preserved radish "chye poh"! …
We had another wonderful makan session with the folks from Makansutra forum. The August dinner took place at Kam Boat Chinese Cuisine at Shaw Centre (5th floor). It's not immediately an easy place to find if you've never been there, but worth the trip.This time, we had half a table full of bloggers - Aromacookery, Keropokman and Momo, Hungrycow and myself. Our focus though, …
I have been noticing these cards surfacing on blogs of people who have visited me. So I took a go at the quiz too, just for the fun of it.You are The EmpressBeauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it representsbeauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at homedecorating, art or …
Early last month, I received a Fullerton newsletter promoting Jade's weekend dim sum brunch. The dim sum brunch that I always hear is solidly booked for weeks. Wow, could this mean I can finally get seats now? That was good, and not so good at the same time. Good because I can finally try the well-raved dim sum buffet, but not so good because falling demand usually has its … 
I have found my all-time favourite delivery pizza and it's Domino's! They're back after about a decade's hiatus. Singapore now has many delivery pizzas but none too outstanding. My family has, out of curiosity, tried everything out there on the market. Domino's is pretty good for a delivery pizza. PLUS, it comes to you in 30 minutes or less (it's their guarantee)! Ours …
I'm taking a break from food-blogging today (my God, it can be tiring! Plus I've run out of reserve items to put up). What a crazy week it's been. Baby girl started her second semester at school, now twice a week at Rainbow Centre on the other side of the island - killer journeys. And KK Hospital managed to cram four appointments across this week alone! Good news is the …
OK confession time: I love collecting food savers, containers, tiffin carriers and bottles (hubby's screaming in the background, "Noooo!!! Enough!"). I admit, however, some of them are even more throwaway or easily ruined than the plastic containers used by hawkers. So I guess it makes sense to invest in sturdy, good-looking containers that will last a long time. Less plastic …

The dish as it first arrives, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Old Airport Road Food Centre has re-opened on July 1! I think it's safe to venture there now (to avoid opening crowds as well as give the hawkers time to adjust to their new place). One place I had to revisit was Nam Sing's Hokkien Fried Mee. I deliberately went at an off-peak hour and was rewarded with my plate …
Vinco, originally uploaded by Camemberu.I've got no food to blog about today, so I'm putting up some old photos. This is of Vinco's at Vivocity, snapped sometime back in March. Not sure if the doughnut craze had taken off back then, as no queueing was necessary.Doughnuts, half dozen minus one, originally uploaded by Camemberu.Sorry, one doughnut had been swiped before I took …
I think many of us have been eating Glico products since we were kids. Now there are so many flavours. Glico Pretz: Ham & Cheese flavour is my current favourite out of all the many available. It's really addictive! I still prefer the savoury flavours of these Pretz biscuits to the sweet Pocky ones. What's your favourite flavour? Of course, the ones made in Japan are totally … 
We had "A Whiff of Lemongrass" for dinner. Not literally, of course. Meena was here for the Nuffnang Awards as a nominee for Best Food Blog. I absolutely love her photos and writing (go visit and you'll see), so I was thrilled to finally meet her. We (Nic and XLB, Keropokman and Momo) brought her to Eng Seng for the famed black pepper crabs. It was love at first bite. This is … 
My precious. Gone. Ever since I got my supersweet iPhone 3Gs in July, I've been living in torrid fear of losing it. Well, I don't have to worry anymore, because it finally happened. Slipped out of my pocket in the cab at Rainbow Centre, Margaret Drive when I was fumbling with Nadine, backpack and making payment. I always check the seat, but this time I forgot to check the … 
Happy Deepavali to all who are celebrating, and a joy-filled long weekend for everyone else! May you all have lots of tasty things to eat. Here's Nadine's favourite snack - murukku!

Bloggers of all stripes (no lepered prince or jeebras though) gathered at SupperClub last night for the OMY Singapore Blog Awards 2009 ceremony. The theme was "Bedroom" - can you spot the lady in curlers? Sorry for grainy photos. I didn't intend to take any initially, and only had my iPhone with me.Foreign Minister George Yeo was Guest-of-Honour, and even came early for the …
