Udders Singapore – Local Artisanal Ice Cream Brand Still Going Strong

Used to patronise the Udders outlet at Thomson Road almost every week when I was working in the vicinity. And now whenever I come to United Square, I would still stop by Udders for an ice cream treat or specifically, Mao Shan Wang Durian ice cream – which is still the best durian ice cream […]

Caffe Bene Malaysia @ Johor Bahru City Square – Refreshing Bingsu, Delicious Thick Toast

After a satisfying dinner at Din Tai Fung, Hubby suggested that we stopped by Caffe Bene for a bingsu (Korean shaved ice dessert) because it deserved a ‘second chance’, lol. Well, he said that because ever since we had a bingsu at Cafe Insadong (it had ceased operation on 31st December 2016), we totally shunned […]

Boat Noodle Komtar JBCC, Johor Bahru – Better than the boat noodles in Bangkok

I first tried this boat noodle restaurant when I visited their outlet at Avenue K in KL last year (read my previous blog post: The Original Boat Noodle @ Avenue K, Kuala Lumpur) and I really enjoyed the food. In fact, I thought their broths for the boat noodles tasted better than the ones I […]

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul @ AEON Tebrau City, JB | Still…nothing beats the original

I was never a huge chendol fan previously until I tried what I thought was the best-chendol-ever at Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul in Georgetown, Penang last year. The one that I went to was a roadside cart in an alleyway which was also their first and original outlet. Today, it has expanded its business […]

Din Tai Fung @ Johor Bahru City Square – 50% cheaper than Singapore’s

Most of you in Singapore should be quite familiar with Din Tai Fung, which is one of the best restaurants to go for good xiao long bao. Back at home, I frequent Din Tai Fung a lot as an ex-boss of mine is a big fan of theirs so whenever we arrange for a catch […]

Season Bakery – The delicious Japanese Cheese Tart is an absolute steal

Hadn’t gone in JB for quite some time so Hubby and I took the day off to go eat and shop. The currency exchange rate at the moment (RM316 <-> SGD100) is just outrageously good. I can’t help but compare prices between SG and MY all the time now and then I’ll think twice whether […]

Little Vietnam in Old Quarter, Hanoi – Comforting home-cooked food and the cutest pugs

On our last night in Hanoi, we decided to have dinner at Little Vietnam that was located very near to our hotel. In fact, we walked past it everyday when we were headed towards the main shopping/eating areas of the Old Quarter. And every time I would just stop for a minute or two to […]

Tous Les Jours Bakery @ Vincom Mega Mall Royal City – Best Breads I Had Eaten In A Long While

While it was a pity that we didn’t get to enjoy the recreational facilities at Vincom Mega Mall Royal City because of the maintenance work and renovations, it wasn’t a wasted trip either because if we hadn’t been there, we wouldn’t have discovered this amazing bakery. I love bread. Nothing else excites me as much […]

Joma Bakery Cafe – Overpriced & mediocre baked goods but nice chill-out place

It seemed as though we had been in Hanoi for a long time, so much so that we didn’t know what else to do or where else to go. And there wouldn’t be a better time than now to chill out in a cafe and at the same time, plan our itinerary for Bangkok which […]

Mien Luon Dong Thinh – Have You Eaten Fried Eel Before?

John wanted to have supper at this fried eel shop that was packed with many locals. Must be pretty good as business was so brisk. But I was a bit hesitant because I’ve never been a huge fan of eels – not because of the way it looks (or resembles the snake) but I just […]
