Looks like we had been covering quite a bit of Japanese food. Only just recently the Japanese Dessert Buffet that we had and now this. But we are not complaining. It was still fairly crowded when we arrived for a late lunch (2pm) and so we opted to sit at the sushi bar, in an attempt to get the most authentic feel of a... well... sushi joint! The happy wife clearly excited …
Chocolate Chip Cookie went to a cosy no-frills Italian cafe called Cacio de Pepe for a farewell lunch. Word of advice: It is inconvenient to go there without a car. It is located off Upp Paya Lebar Road. The standard compliments of grated parmesan cheese powder and chilli flakes. The standard and yummy starter of bread and olive oil. Not easy to serve the bread warm and …
Vanilla Bar & Cafe is a small and cosy place, seating capacity is about 20 indoors and 5 in the courtyard. Unfortunately for us, there was an event and some dude booked the entire indoor seating so we had to sit outdoors. Surprisingly, it did not turn out too bad, in fact, it felt really quaint! Over our heads was the well-maintained exteriors of the shophouse, and we …
Raindrops Cafe at *Scape. One of the newest addition to the eating scene and located at the new Youth area behind Somerset MRT. Beers Raindrops Cafe has an impressive list of beers. Especially Belgian beers. Kwak ($15) is a very complex tasting beer with a tint of malt. Amazingly the taste evolves as it is allowed to breathe. Nice and strong that goes well with the dishes …

We had gone to this Thai food place many times and I finally got to blog it here. "Serving you authentic Thai cuisine." is as close as it gets. With the kitchen and many of the food servers from the Land of the Smiles, this is the least you can expect. And what's more, the ingredients and drinks are imported direct from Thailand. Four condiments are available on each …
First of our short posts on Facebook. New Lucky Claypot Rice. All comments in captions of photos. Here. Like our facebook page to get notifications whenever we post photos or short posts.
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 …
Farewell dinner for a good friend from the platform we all call home. And what great news he brought us! He is finally getting married. hurhurhur. We settled for the 6-pax set meal to make things easy and some changes to the menu to suit our taste. First up was the Braised Seafood Conpoy Pumpkin Broth with Shark's Fin. Very interesting texture and taste I must say. The …
Eden Sanctuary Floral Cafe. Singapore unique eatery that Chef Ronald Ng has a keen passion floral cuisine. This is a special invite from TimeOut, who are having their first dine-out tasting event soon. Chef Clement created a 6-course meal for us, of which most are best-sellers from his menu. The main concept of is to have all colours in your daily food intake to have a …
Yes. You are not mistaken. We had 11 cups at Tom's Palette. And we had to repeat flavours. What a great way. Don't you love the myriad of colours? Just by looking at it makes you happy!! Mango: Smooth and creamy. Full of mango flavours. A good combination of tartness and sweetness makes it taste more real. Somehow I get the "mango syrup" feel. Choco Sorbet: It's not common …
Chilli Mocha We have heard great things about Oriole Cafe & Bar and so decided to drop by. Wanted to have brunch, but the place was packed to the brim and the only available seats were outside. As the weather was scorching hot, we decided to give it a pass and come back later for afternoon tea. The chilli mocha pictured above ($6) is one of the signature drinks, having …
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 …
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 …
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. …
Professor Brawn Cafe is also known as a social enterprise. They provide jobs, showcase talents and raise awareness for the special needs community. And this is where I ended up for a meet up with a long-time friend who is what else but a social worker. :) The mushroom soup came with a set meal consisting of soup, mains and a drink. We ordered the black miso cod set …
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 …
