When I heard that a friend's hubby had opened up a beer stall at a nearby hawker center near my office, I couldn't help but feel excited. Being the self proclaimed foodie, I had my own love-hate relationship with beer. Starting from the classic Tiger to the "ang moh" or imported versions of heineken and belgium beers. I stopped beer totally for a while when I went exploring …
This is an invited tasting. Especially intrigued when the invitation came for a tasting at Kha. Actually the pictures of the place aroused my interest even before I set my eyes on the menu. I told C, I gotta go check this place out. A quick tour of the place ensued... Private dining room at Kha. The interiors were designed by award winning, Melbourne based designer …
Met a charming man today and really inspired. Posting had been slow lately, but I am back. :) Was looking for a great place to meet up with some of the old sea boys and what's better than a great ribs house, with beer and to throw it in, some offers! Quiva Cider ($10) Utterly weak. One of the worst ciders I ever had. Jolly shandy would had been a wiser choice. Avoid at …
Visit back to Prof Brawn. Pumpkin Soup - A bit too thin for my liking but I guess it is the healthier choice. The taste and flavours of the pumpkin is quite subtle, good for those who don't really like pumpkin but still want the full goodness of the golden fruit. Chicken chop in truffle sauce - A quick sidenote. The wedges are absolutely fantastic. I am not sure if they …
Tunisian. A bit too spicy for my liking. But baked eggs are the bomb. I would have liked it a bit more tomato-ey. Just like how I like my chilli crab. Never had the Pancakes before, so decided to give it a good. Plus points, they come with back bacon! The berries compote is too sourish for me. Maybe I just don't like berries compote. I would have loved fresh cream served …
Claypot rice had always been an all time favourite for me. But the usual long waits and the burnt bits (that gets stuck in between the teeth) puts me off a little. So when I heard of My Rice at Novena, I jumped at the chance to have a tasting since I have an appointment in the area. An enterprise by two friends, barely a month old, they have since adapted and acted on …
Complimentary high-tea buffet at Ellenborough Marketplace, Swisshotel Merchant Court. Laksa - Decent Fruit Rojak pre-mixed sauce was too spicy. Kueh Pie Tee was good. Satay and Otah-otah was good. Durian Puff was good. Desserts are generally good. Roti-Jalal. With curry chicken. Good. Tau-suan (far) fail. Durian Paste (near) sedap! Ah …
Mr Pancakes was unable to attend the OC Foodies Invitation so Mrs Pancakes and her sister went, and had a great afternoon of catching up at Sarang. Sarang, which means love in Korean, is situated on the 7th floor of Orchard Central. Sarang's Seoul styled setting includes a show kitchen and outdoor bar, with seats overlooking Orchard Road. We were greeted with a cup of …
Second post of Bread Society. D-Lemon Cream ($1.50) is light fluffy and the nice tangy lemon cream within is woo-hooo..... especially for us who adore our lemon cream, lemon custard, lemon tea... you name it. Pine Nut Rce Loaf ($1.80) Nice and light with enough pine nuts for you to taste it. Chic Marsala Naan ($1.60). Chicken filling could had been more generous. A special …
A quick meal and ramen is the pick of the day. Nestled in the food street of Bugis Junction, it has it's own seating area. Miso Ramen ($13.90). Nice flavourful, the touch of black garlic oil added depth and fragrance. Char Siu could had been more tender though. Kogashi Miso Ramen ($14) apparently their signature dish. Decent soup base and ramen came with a bite. …
Korean BBQ. Had been craving it for awhile and finally had the chance to visit this joint at Orchard Central. My sister-in-law (SIL) raves about it. Let's see how "foodie" she is. Ha. Right after taking our orders, a tea and porridge was served. The tea tasted like those gen-mai tea (rice tea?), tasty and with a distinctive rice taste. It is meant to get you ready for the …
We found a gem! Within walking distance... and open 24hours! This reminds me of Fong Seng and Prata during our good old hall days. The mee goreng is splendid. Tasty, moist and full of the dragon breath or 'wok hei' and not too spicy that it over-runs the taste. Simply sedap. And yes, the customary cucumber served with tomato ketchup.... awwww.... are you feeling the love? The …
Having had the grapefruit & orange version, it took me quite awhile before revisiting Fruit Paradise. We went for the promo that came with udon, prawn tempura and the flavours of the month. And we chose mango & banana. Having been previously blown away by the quality of the cake on the previous visit, somehow this time round it didn't wow me as much. Even for the …
Second entry on Prego here. Check out our first entry here. This had got to be our favourite Italian place with a combination of quality of food, ambience, convenience and price (Feed at Raffles 1-for-1). We were in a hungry mood today and ordered starters! A repeat order of Parma Ham & Melon ($27) is definitely a must. Prego serve one of the better parma ham we have had. …
Nando's flame grilled chicken had created quite a flame when it was re-opened in Singapore. The ridiculously long queues mean that we have had to go for lunch at 2pm. A foodie gotta do what a foodie gotta do, right? As it was late, we decided to go small on servings. A quarter chicken with mild sauce ($13.90) comes with 2 sides. The chicken was nicely marinated and the flesh …
