When the IKEA CNY brochure landed in my mailbox, one item immediately grabbed my attention: IKEA Salted Egg Chicken Wings. My husband and I are huge salted egg fans—we love anything salted egg. Since I was already planning to pop by IKEA last week to check out their festive cookies, we figured why not just have […]
So there we were, done with sightseeing for the day. It was already drizzling, and we were planning to just walk back to our hotel and call it a day. Then I spotted Amorino Gelato on the way and honestly, couldn’t resist grabbing some gelato to eat. What is Amorino Gelato? Amorino Gelato is a […]
Fries time again! If you’ve been following my Amsterdam and Brussels posts, you’ll realise I’ve been eating WAY TOO MUCH fries. Honestly, I think it’s the most popular street food in this part of Europe. When the weather’s chilly and you want something warm but not a full meal, hot crispy fries just feel right. […]
So, Delirium Village Brussels. You’ve probably heard about it in the news. Delirium Café holds a Guinness World Record from 2004 for having the most beer varieties in the world — a whopping 2,004 of them. Now they claim to have almost 2,500. Amazing. This place has a massive selection of international and local Belgian […]
Fancy the freshest catch of the day? Then you need to check out Noordzee Mer du Nord. This Brussels institution runs on a brilliant dual concept at the same address – fish shop meets fish bar. They’re essentially a fishmonger with an open kitchen serving up whatever’s freshest that day. Located smack in the Brussels […]
What started as a durian run to Lexus Durian King turned into an unexpected feast at Bored Tacos. Hubby and I were wandering around the Kovan/Hougang area when we spotted this gem at Forte Bowl. One glance at their menu plastered on the glass door and plans changed instantly. Late lunch? Early dinner? Who cares […]
Aux Merveilleux de Fred is this artisan French patisserie in Brussels that specialises in traditional Flemish meringue treats. They’ve got two spots in the city—one’s a pure takeaway patisserie, the other’s a tearoom where you can actually sit and enjoy your sweets with a proper coffee. Stumbling Upon Aux Merveilleux de Fred Grand Place I […]
I’m usually not one to get excited over sweet shops. But while strolling around Brussels, La Belgique Gourmande immediately caught my attention. There was something about the colourful displays and the way the candies were arranged — very Harry Potter–like, almost magical. So of course, I had to go inside. The moment I stepped in, […]
Daily Chicken has opened at Waterway Point, taking over the old Tiong Bahru Bakery space. I was excited because their Bugis Junction outlet has been on my list forever, and now I don’t need to travel to town. Daily Chicken is a family-friendly Korean restaurant by the team behind Daily Beer. They specialise in Korean […]
Chez Léon was on my to-eat list the moment I arrived in Brussels. Really wanted to try a traditional Belgian meal and this place kept popping up everywhere when I did my research. Established in 1893, this family-owned spot is best known for its mussels and frites. No fancy concept, just good Belgian food done […]
Galet was literally next door to our hotel in Brussels. We spotted it on day one whilst exploring the area – just a minute’s walk away. Perfect for a breakfast stop one morning. The Coffee at Galet We went for a regular coffee (€3) and a Macchiato (€4.80). Right off the bat, both were pretty […]
We were wandering around Brussels when we spotted this long queue snaking outside Fritland. Classic sign of good food, right? Problem was, we’d just smashed a heavy lunch and honestly couldn’t stomach more food at that point. Mental note made: come back later when the queue dies down. Which we did. Can I just say, […]
You can’t visit Brussels without trying their waffles, right? That’s what everyone says. So when I was hunting for waffle places on Google, Maison Dandoy kept showing up everywhere. We decided to check it out ourselves. The setup is pretty straightforward. Ground floor has the retail boutique if you’re just grabbing products to go. But […]
Rempah by Chilli Padi at Anchorvale Village wasn’t our first choice for dinner. After a pickleball session, we wandered around the hawker centre upstairs. Nothing excited us. We headed to the basement where NTUC FairPrice sits. That’s when we spotted Rempah by Chilli Padi, with diners happily working through plates of nasi lemak and noodles. […]
Marlow’s Deli caught me completely off guard during one of my East Coast wanderings. Hubby’s been doing physio in the area, so I’ve been exploring lunch spots while waiting around. Googled for options and this place popped up. As a proper bread person who lives for sandwiches, I had to check it out. From Wooly’s […]
The Saigon caught us on one of those days when we were properly sick of our usual Punggol haunts. You know the feeling – same old kopitiams, same old hawker centres, same old everything. A quick Google search led us to this Vietnamese stall tucked inside Foodgle Coffeeshop at 308C Punggol Walk, just five minutes […]
