There was a time at my old workplace when a Thai client came to Singapore for a site inspection of a conference venue. I was amused when she brought along with her several tupperware containers because she wanted to pack Boon Tong Kee Chicken Rice home for her family for dinner that evening. And she […]
Penang Delights was voted as one of the top prawn noodle stalls in Singapore by Channel U viewers. Indeed, it is also one of my two favourite places to go to for a tasty bowl of prawn noodles besides Whitley Road Big Prawn Mee. This stall is located at the S11 Food Court (in front of […]
I was craving for nonya kuehs and lor mee so I went gallivanting in Tiong Bahru for some good eats. Headed to Tiong Bahru Market for lunch and had queued up at Tiong Bahru Lor Mee Stall (#02-80) for at least 10 minutes but was told their Lor Mee had sold out by the time […]
5 years ago, I tried the Nasi Bojari at Madam Kwan’s at Suria KLCC and I simply couldn’t forget its luscious plate of tri-coloured rice with their signature fried chicken leg, beef rendang and assam prawns. Though Madam Kwan is also available in Singapore now at Vivocity, it just doesn’t feel and taste the same. So […]
The husband and I visit the IKEA store at least once a month since we got our new house last year as it seems like there is always something for us to buy there. Either it’s kitchen equipment/gadget for me or some DIY stuff for him. And each time we are there, we’d sure dine […]
It was 8 o’clock in the evening and the husband and I were roaming everywhere in Raffles City, undecided on where to have our dinner till we chanced upon Buffet Town that was bustling with life (and noise) inside. A peep into the restaurant through the glass window, I saw piles of chilled crayfish, oysters […]
Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry is a neighbourhood bakery that specialises in traditional nonya kuehs, cakes and pastries. A simple shop front with no fanciful finishings, it exudes a type of old-school charm which I used to see back in the 80s. Totally unpretentious but filled with delectable snacks that bring back the fond memories of […]
When I was previously working at Raffles Quay, one of my colleagues recommended me to try this thunder tea rice stall. I remembered tasting thunder tea rice a very long time ago but didn’t have a great impression of it because the green coloured tea soup had a very strong flavour that I wasn’t too […]
Prawn fishing has been a much enjoyed leisure activity for many in Singapore. The anticipation of landing a bite, the thrill of hooking a catch and the live grilling of your prized trophies at the end of the day are probably what make prawning a fun sport for people of all ages. Hai Bin @ […]
I’m lucky to be living in an estate with hawker centres and coffee shops in close proximity 24/7. But it was also disappointing that there wasn’t any decent fish soup here until I chanced upon Mr Teh Tarik eating house at Blk 608 Ang Mo Kio Ave 5 (where Botak Jones used to be located) […]
My husband and I made a second trip down to Queensway Shopping Centre so he could buy that pair of Nike Dunk Low sneakers he had been eyeing since our last visit. But it was a wasted effort as that model he wanted was no longer in stock and we just couldn’t find it in […]
I’m not sure if Prata Raya is a revamped version of Ah Mei Cafe that was located inside AMK Hub previously. Its menu is the same as Ah Mei’s and in fact, I’m quite certain the chefs are the same because the fish curry gravy and texture of their pratas resemble that of Ah Mei […]
Hubby and I came here for a quick bite before heading over to The Mind Cafe @ Funan Centre. We ordered a laksa, nasi lemak and a home-made water chestnut drink to share. The nasi lemak came with an otah, chicken wing, ikan billis (fried anchovies) with peanuts, omelette, cucumber and sambal chilli. I thought […]
For some reasons, I just love Chomp Chomp. It isn’t a very big food centre and most of the stalls are in fact repeated but there are gems to explore and it never fails to surprise me each time I’m there. Large-size sugar cane juice ($3.00 each from Stall 25) No more medium-sized glasses. This […]
As mentioned in my other blog entry on Carousel, my family and I decided to ditch the ideas of steamboat at home or lo hei dinner at some Chinese restaurant and celebrate our CNY eve here instead. I wasn’t seriously enthusiastic in dining at the same place twice in a month but a reunion meal […]
Probably the cheapest meals we could get during our staycation at Resorts World. We had a dinner and a lunch here mainly to save costs as everything else in RWS was terribly expensive. They were still decent meals though to fill the stomachs and for the prices we paid, even though really nothing GREAT to […]
