16Poh Guan Cake House at Hong Lim Complex caught me completely off guard. I originally went there hunting for ruan gao – those soft, mochi-like glutinous rice rolls my mum used to buy for prayers when I was a kid. But once I got there, the sight of freshly made Chinese Teochew traditional pastries sitting […]
Shu Yan Sichuan Cuisine has been sitting pretty on my food bucket list ever since I spotted it trending on RedNote. The buzz around their weekday lunch buffet got me curious. After a solid experience at Xiao He Shan’s similar setup at Grantral Mall, I figured it was time to give this Chinatown Point spot […]
I came across Hong Lim Curry Puff during a post-pickleball dinner hunt at Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre. This relatively new brand packs serious heritage behind its crispy golden shells. A quick Google search revealed the fascinating backstory. Hong Lim Curry Puff traces its roots to Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff at Hong Lim Market & Food […]
I’d blogged about Dona Manis Cake Shop some time back when I used Pickupp service to deliver a box of banana pies to my doorstep. The shop location was too out of the way from where I live. That was my first time trying their banana pies, and I really fell in love with them – they […]
I first noticed 115 Ho Jiak Western Cuisine at One Punggol Hawker Centre when a group of boys were tucking into these mega-sized chicken cutlets—and that was enough to convince me to give it a try. Honestly, I’m so glad I did. Working from Punggol Regional Library has become our routine, and this western food […]
Auntie Peng Banana Pie was exactly why we headed to Katong Shopping Centre. The hubby and I had just finished at East Coast Park and decided to drive over for some chicken rice and those banana pies I’d been meaning to try. Most folks know Dona Manis Cake Shop as the go-to spot for banana […]
I asked hubby what cake he fancied for his birthday and he immediately said he wanted the Chocolate Banana Cake from Awfully Chocolate. Fair enough – seemed like a wise choice as we hadn’t had that for a long, long time and really kinda missed it. But here’s where it gets interesting. While I was […]
I first tried the Bahlsen Pick Up Minis a few years ago when a friend gifted me a Christmas snack hamper. Nestled among the chocolates and biscuits was a pack of these minis. Honestly? Love at first bite. Why These Bahlsen Pick Up Minis Stand Out I don’t usually reach for sandwich biscuits. The filling’s often too […]
Hubby and I were at Geneo Mall to collect our race pack when Pasta Express caught our fancy. No queue, no hype—just a whim that had us taking some home for lunch. Turns out, the best carbs sometimes find you. 🙂 Pasta Express Locations NTU North Spine NUS Frontier SMU Connexion The Venue Shoppes The […]
Hainan Beef Noodle & Claypot Rice at Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre serves up claypot rice in portions that are impressively hearty. This unassuming stall became my regular haunt after just one visit. First Impressions Hainan Beef Noodle & Claypot Rice first drew my attention when Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre opened last year. Although the stall […]
On our way to Geneo to pick up the TriFactor race pack, we decided to pop by Xiao He Shan 小和山优选快餐 for lunch. The hubby had spotted their $12.80 nett Chinese buffet on a previous mall visit and hasn’t stopped going on about it since. So of course, we had to finally give it a […]
Cinnabon wasn’t exactly penciled in on my to-do list that day. My plan was simple: pop into Citylink Mall to get my ski pants altered, then head straight home. But errands have a way of leading you into little detours, and in this case, it was the irresistible scent of cinnamon drifting out from Raffles […]
Reese’s Puffs Breakfast Cereal Treat Bars caught my attention during Amazon Prime Day, and I’m glad they did. These portable snack bars transform the beloved breakfast cereal into something you can munch anywhere. Prime Day Bargain Hunting Success Spotted these beauties on Amazon with an RRP of $10.92 per box. Prime Day magic struck, dropping the […]
In my earlier blog post, I shared my review of Alfredo Kunafa Pistachio Chocolate, but I had also picked up the durian variation to try since it’s different from the usual pistachio. I decided to test it out first—because if it turned out good, I knew I’d want to get some for the folks, especially […]
During our staycation at PARKROYAL on Beach Road, we wandered into Kampong Glam where I discovered Alfredo Kunafa Pistachio Chocolate. After spotting these distinctive bars in a few souvenir shops along Arab Street and Bussorah Street, I knew I had to try them. Having bought Alfredo’s ‘no sugar added’ range of chocolates from Mustafa Centre […]
While on staycation at PARKROYAL on Beach Road, I was browsing through the Yindii app when I spotted that All Things Delicious on Arab Street had this Weekend Delightful Mystery Box for sale at $12. Only one left, so I immediately snapped it up. Earlier that day whilst walking around Kampong Glam, I’d come across the […]
