I'm really late posting this meal. It's from July - no, not July 2011, but July 2010! Yes, my backlog stretches that far...but this dinner was quite good, and I remember it well even though it happened more than a year ago. Our Makansutra forummers met for dinner here, and back then it was only 86 of us...but I am sure even we tested the kitchen's capacity. But they managed …

If you live and work out there in the far Western end of Singapore and craved some good Chinese food and dim sum, where would you go? New modern Cantonese restaurant Jade Garden at Chevrons Club might just save you a trip downtown. Yes, "Jade Garden" may sound like yet another run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant, but it's a little bit unusual. There's no pork and no lard …

What a phenomenal performance! Thanks to my friend Eri who had tickets, I managed to catch the "Drum Tao" opening performance at the Esplanade tonight. They really rocked the theatre! These world renowned drummers showcase a mesmerizing blend of martial arts, music, precision choreography, and even a dash of comedy. The drumbeats are so infectious, they had the crowd cheering …

Seafood Paradise has opened two new outlets, at Changi Airport Terminal 2 and Senja-Cashew Community Centre in Bukit Panjang. Many will recall that Seafood Paradise at Defu Lane is the humble zi char stall that rose to become a full-fledged restaurant, and eventually kicked off the multi-concept Paradise Group. The CEO Eldwin Chua himself started off as the zi char cook and … 
Shunfu Market may seem like a sleepy part of Singapore, but it sure has some gems. Fu Shi is the stall that's famous for the glistening glaze on its char siew. I like that they don't use any of the garish red food colouring, but instead show off what natural caramelisation can look like - a deep, rich, luscious brown. Char siew, roast pork and roast duck, gotta try them … 
I can't even remember when I was last at Wee Nam Kee. Maybe never. There are so many stories of people waxing lyrical about how good the chicken rice is, and and equal number panning it as a place that used to be good but now, "standard's dropped". Well, to each his or her own. What matters is whether you like the food or not, regardless of the shop's fame. I came here one … 
Can you say, "Oh my God!"? Cos I surely did when I saw and opened up the Marina Bay Sands mooncake box. Such pretty cascading tiers from a tower stashed within a latticed box. Oh, and the truffle snowskin mooncakes within are equally divine. So it's not just pretty packaging. There are two flavours - Salted Caramel with Almonds, and Dark Chocolate with Grand Marnier (plus …

Nanbantei has been around for a long, long time, easily more than 20 years. Ironically I tried it in Tokyo first before I did so in Singapore. Food here is generally quite decent and satisfying. For lunch, you can get some very affordable set deals too. This is the Yakitori Don Set (S$14), which is about four grilled items on rice, accompanied by a bowl of udon, pickles and … 
Advertorial Staying healthy is easier when we do it together. Eating and exercising right is more enjoyable when you are with family, friends, and people who care about each other. It's not just more fun and meaningful. It's also a way to keep yourself going. When you falter, someone will be around to pick you up. It's a wonderful opportunity to combine family time … 
Today has become the unofficial "National Curry Day", thanks to the "Cook and Share A Pot of Curry!" Facebook movement calling for support of multi-cultural integration, acceptance and tolerance. So here's our contribution - a heavily spicy curry chicken. We specially bought spices from an Indian shop, and cooked up a fiery storm bright and early on Sunday. Oh the smell … 
Yú Cuisine is the only Chinese seafood restaurant at Marina Bay Sands. You might not notice it easily, as it's near the far Western end of the Shoppes (where Todai is). "Yú" refers to 渔, m …
