Who would have thought knotty, spotty, globular knobs of fungi like these could be so divine? White truffles from Alba are in season, and if you haven't tried any, you should soon as the season is ending. Executive Chef Alessandro Delfanti of il Lido is presenting Italian classics made decadent by the lavish pairing with white truffles. Each of these comes with 3g of shaved …
Who here doesn't like IKEA? OK, I see some chickens don't, and I can see why. It really looks like we can't get enough of IKEA's fried chicken wings. They move 25 tonnes of these each month! TWENTY FIVE TONNES! Yes, in Singapore, the wings outsell the world famous Swedish meatballs. I learnt those astounding facts from a special tour that IKEA Tampines held for bloggers. …
Who here doesn't like IKEA? OK, I see some chickens don't, and I can see why. It really looks like we can't get enough of IKEA's fried chicken wings. They move close to 25 tonnes of these each month from the Tampines outlet alone! TWENTY FIVE TONNES! Yes, in Singapore, the wings outsell the world famous Swedish meatballs.

My hubby is a serious audiophile, so this post is dedicated to him and his craze for earphones. When I first held these AKG K3003 earphones, they felt like precious gems. Yes, very beautiful S$1,599 gems. But it was only when I put them to my ears that I realised how priceless they are. It was like stepping through a portal into a magical realm, where you can still see …

There was so much food (check out the menu), it was impossible to try …
Kunihiro oysters: large, plump and juicy here, raw on the half shell. Soon we can look forward to more of these in Singapore restaurants. Kunihiro Inc., the largest producer of oysters in Japan, has appointed Toyo International Trading as sole distributor here. Mr Ikuzo Kawasaki, President of Kunihiro Inc., was in town to speak to partners and media at the launch held at …
It's starting to look a lot like Christmas. What will you be doing this year? Gourmet food, fine wines, parties and presents? I know one of you is winning a pair of S$88 tickets to the WRX Wine Journey (draw closes tomorrow)! All well and good. But here's something that might bring even greater satisfaction. This year MINDS has teamed up with 18 Voluntary Welfare …
Oh yes, we sure love ice cream. Did you know there are now almost 50 homegrown ice cream brands? They've done quite a bit to jazz up the scene with localised flavours like Chempedak, Sweet Potato with Honey & Chestnut, Salt & Pepper, Kaya, Mars Bar & Sea Salt, Chocolate Guinness, Dark Chocolate & Grape, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Bandung with Attap Chee, and even Curry! Did I …
Yes, let's continue with our bar-hopping adventure at Changi Airport that began with dinner and drinks at Hard Rock Cafe. We covered seven locations across three terminals (inside departure and transit area)...and we have some 26 drinks to show you. Obviously, I do not recommend you imbibe all of them in one sitting. But it's good to know you won't be short of options after …
This AKG series of posts is dedicated to my hubby without whose support this blog would not exist. He loves music (playing, composing and recording) as much as I do food, so I knew I had to get him this fabulous listening gear. It's from him that I learned seriously good earphones/headphones can make a difference. We've tried so many brands, and initially, my eyes popped out …
I love going to the airport. There's something always wonderful about airports. That sense of anticipation and excitement before a trip, or the comforting feel of coming home. Besides, Changi Airport is a particularly welcoming one. I could live there, I bet. There and Narita. Quite happily so. Changi Airport is also brimming with choices when it comes to food and drink. …

It's short and snappy, it's got attitude - Scootitude! Scoot is a medium-to-long haul carrier, targeting flights over four …
It was an evening of mystique, surprise and delight. A whispered invitation led me to a mystery meal held in an intimate setting. Only about 20 of us held the privilege to taste Chef Anthony Genovese's specially crafted "Food for the Soul" menu at the Decanter, St Regis Singapore. This is the first ever Underground SupperClub by DBS Indulge (the bank's card dining …
