Takagi Ramen @ Ang Mo Kio Central – Bringing affordable ramen to the heartlands

Seriously, I would never expect to see authentic Japanese ramen being served in a coffeeshop located at ground level of a HDB flat in Ang Mo Kio. J and I were supposed to have our lunch from Astons Express at the same coffeeshop but we changed our mind after we spotted this new ramen stall. […]

Sushiro @ Thomson Plaza – Wallet-Friendly Bara Chirashi Don in Singapore

I was craving for sashimi and thought I would check out this little humble Japanese eatery at Thomson Plaza after hearing some raving reviews from fellow foodies about their possibly ‘cheapest in Singapore’ bara chirashi dons. If you aren’t familiar with Thomson Plaza, it might be a bit tricky to locate Sushiro just by looking […]

Savour a New Brunch Menu at Salt Tapas and Bar

Some months back, I attended a cooking workshop conducted by Chef Ronald Li, head chef of Salt Tapas & Bar where I got the chance to see him whip up some delicious brunch comfort food. This time, I was back for a tasting session following the launch of their new brunch menu. Located at Raffles […]

Krazy Salad Bar @ Toa Payoh Central

Some weeks back, I reviewed Seasonal Salad Bar that used to occupy this same unit space above KFC at Toa Payoh Central. After it shifted to a new location next to Courts, then came Krazy Salads which is like the 4th salad bar tenant of the same premise since Sizzler. The husband and I walked […]

ButterScotch Cafe @ Bukit Merah Central

I’ve long heard about the cafes at Bukit Merah Central that have garnered raving reviews on social media but it’s a part of Singapore that I don’t really come to often because it’s quite out of the way for me. When I was at IKEA Alexandra the other day, I thought I’d just swing by the […]

West Grill Station Yio Chu Kang @ Blk 630 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4

I used to think this stall space in my neighbourhood coffeeshop was jinxed probably due to bad fengshui or something because all the previous stalls (lost count of how many) did not last more than a few months each. Until a few months back when West Grill Station opened that I realised how much life […]

Riverwalk Tandoor @ Upper Circular Road

Since my last visit to The Grand Gem Indian Restaurant @ Grand Bluewave Hotel in Johor Bahru, I really missed a good Indian buffet with robust-tasting dishes and lots of gravies and spices. One of my foodie friends recommended Riverwalk Tandoor which I had passed by countless times but never did I go in once […]

Weekend Seafood Dinner Buffet @ J65, Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore

One year ago, this restaurant was still known as Cafebiz. It was where my family and I would often go for weekend high tea when I was a teen. Today, it has been renamed as J65 which is inspired by the Singapore international dialling code. This vibrant all-day dining restaurant located at the lobby level […]

Seasonal Salad Bar @ Toa Payoh Central (1-for-1 Main Course with The Entertainer App)

I’m quite amused by the ever-changing names of the salad bar above KFC at Toa Payoh Central. It was where Sizzler once sat before the brand left Singapore’s F&B scene totally. Next came Chums Steakhouse. Then came Seasonal Salad Bar. And now? It’s called Krazy Salad Bar. While they were all different entities, what they […]

Kim Dae Mun Korean Food @ Concorde Hotel

Kim Dae Mun used to be a Korean food stall located at the food court of the former Le Meridien Hotel (now known as Concorde Hotel) on Orchard Road. I was initially disappointed when the food court was gone because that just meant I couldn’t get to enjoy great authentic Korean food at wallet-friendly prices […]

Tak Po Dim Sum Restaurant @ Smith Street, Chinatown

Hong Kong Style Dim Sum is one of my favourite weekend breakfast or brunch food. It’s just so satisfying to indulge in a bowl of hot comforting porridge (it has to be century egg one haha) with a variety of steamed or fried snacks. Makes me hungry now I’m thinking about it, lol. G and […]

Kay Lee Roast Meat Joint – Is It Worth S$4 Million?

I must admit I actually never heard of Kay Lee until it came into the limelight after it was sold to a conglomerate for S$4 million in 2014. How impressive the food must be, I thought to myself, that anyone would offer such an enormous sum of money for one of Singapore’s favourite hawker foods. […]

[Closed] Take 2 Cafe @ Goldhill Shopping Centre

Latest update: This cafe has closed w.e.f. Jan 2016. This used to be a hair-salon-cum-cafe by the name of Take 2 Cafe Take 2 Saloon but as the cafe was doing so much better than the salon, it is now changed to a full-fledged cafe. Take 2 Cafe is a family-run establishment that serves up […]

Clover 8 Bistro (Vegetarian and Vegan Dining by Miao Yi) @ Kallang Leisure Park

After a good walk around the Kallang Riverside Park, hub and I (while still on healthy mode) decided to settle for vegetarian food for lunch. We found this vegetarian cafe at Kallang Leisure Park that offered a variety of different cuisines from Chinese to Thai, Vietnamese, Western and more. Check out their menu here: When […]

Ayam Penyet President @ Kallang Wave Mall

The husband and I have been regularly patronising Ayam Penyet Ria @ Lucky Plaza for years whenever we have craving for smashed fried chicken but have never been to Ayam Penyet President (both are separate entities) that also has an outlet in the same building. When we spotted another one of the latter’s outlets at […]

Burrito Boys @ HillV2 Mall (Upper Bukit Timah Road)

Now that Downtown Line 2 has begun operation, it is so much easier to get to places that I don’t normally go due to transport hassle that would require me to make several changes of buses from where I live. I never did frequent Upper Bukit Timah area much because it’s just so out of the […]
