Never expected myself to be crazy (ok, not that bad, haha) about Taiwanese desserts in Singapore as I thought they were just overpriced, mediocre stuffs that were probably not worth the sugar and calories, haha. However, since I tried my very first bowl of ai-yu jelly from Nine Fresh, a Singapore local chain for Taiwanese […]
The hype has obviously died down. It’s so easy to find Latte and the latest flavour, Green Milk Tea, in most 7-11 stores now and they are even selling at a promotional price of S$4.90 for 2 bottles (U.P. S$2.80/bottle). I jumped on the Chun Cui He bandwagon months ago because everyone else was making […]
I was just stoked to discover another hidden gem in Singapore on Sembawang Road this time. Was invited to a food tasting at this newly opened restaurant that is located a stone’s throw away from Springleaf where the popular prata place and Ampang yong tau foo are. I just love that absolutely tranquil surrounding. It […]
Update (Feb 2019): Zaolek Lok Lok has relocated to 605B MacPherson Road, #03-08, Singapore 368241. This food tasting/review was done at their old location at Paya Lebar Kovan Community Club. I had previously lamented the lack of lok lok eateries in Singapore but after having stumbled upon Malaysia Local Delights @ Tanjong Katong Road two years […]
Whenever I come to the Balestier area, I seldom leave here without getting a box of my favourite tau sar piah or 豆沙饼, a Chinese flaky pastry with green bean billing. I had tried the tau sar piah from several bakeries in the same neighbourhood. [Read my earlier blog post -> 603 Tau Sar Piah […]
The first place that comes to my mind when I think of good ang ku kueh (‘red tortoise cake’, a round or oval shaped Chinese-style pastry made of glutinous rice flour skin with a sweet filling) is actually not anywhere in Singapore but Season Bakery in Johor Bahru. My mum loves their ang ku kueh a […]
I love anything salted egg and I can never resist crispy fish skins too. So whenever I spot salted egg fish skins for sale, it’s impossible that I will give it a miss. One of my all-time favourite brands is the Dangerously Addictive Irvins Salted Egg Fish Skins that I had highly raved about some […]
I got to know about Kim Heng (HK) Roasted Delights while watching a travel vlog on YouTube and I realised this roasted meat stall was actually located in the same coffee shop that I would always pass by when getting a bus home from NEX. Last month, I stopped by Serangoon Central as Teochew Meat […]
It has been more than 5 years since I came here for a meal. [Read my earlier blog post on this place -> Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies.] Been wanting to bring J here to try the food but never got the chance to until recently when we were out for an urban walk and we […]
I wanted to try out this food delivery service by Shi Fu Ge Restaurant which I had seen on Qoo10 for quite some time while shopping on the site so I invited the folks over for a little seafood party. I ordered 1 set of Crab In A Bag Imperial Pot Mini (S$59.90), 1 set […]
Update (Aug 2017): This restaurant has ceased operation. Yokowa Japanese Restaurant has recently opened on Duxton Road. I was invited for a food tasting session last weekend to have a preview of what they have to offer before their Grand Opening Day on the 24 November 2016. At the moment, they are serving Kaiseki Bentos […]
Thought I would make a trip down to the Thai supermarket at Golden Mile Complex (nearest MRT Station is Nicoll Highway on Circle Line) just before I leave for my Bangkok trip. Hadn’t been there for quite some time and I just wanted to update myself on the available products there so I wouldn’t be […]
While I was staying at Furama RiverFront (read my earlier blog post -> FuramaKids Family Staycation @ Furama RiverFront Singapore), I had dinner at The Square @ Furama that serves up a sumptuous buffet spread of international cuisine, from fresh seafood and sushi to chilli crabs and BBQ pork ribs. The lunch and dinner buffet […]
Nice to be back for lunch after 8 years! The restaurant really hasn’t changed much and I’m also delighted to know that Chef I Gusti Nyoman Kaler is still helming the kitchen after so many years. I remembered dining here at least twice previously and I totally enjoyed the spread of authentic Indonesian fare which […]
Eat At Seven at Suntec City Mall’s Sky Garden is a new dining cluster that brings together some of Japan’s top food specialist concepts and restaurants. There are currently 8 of them which offer a diverse range of food that caters to all Japanese food lovers here: Tonkatsu Agedoki (deep-fried pork cutlet) Tempura Kohaku (tempura […]
Orchard Road may be one of the best shopping streets in Singapore but do you also know you can find a great selection of Japanese restaurants here that offer some of the best gyozas in town? From Gyoza no Ohsho (Cuppage Plaza), Ramen Santouka (Cuppage Terrace) and Uma Uma Ramen (Forum The Shopping Mall) to […]
