Tian Tian Dao 天天到湖南小碗菜 became our next target after our amazing experience at Pin Wan Wan‘s small bowl concept. We were so impressed by that format that hunting down another similar spot became our mission. What made this place stand out? Their speciality in Hunan cuisine – something hubby and I barely knew anything about. Located […]
Siblings Gelato became a highlight of our rainy afternoon in Johor Bahru. What began as a quick stop to escape the downpour turned into one of the most memorable gelato experiences I’ve had this year. The Unexpected Discovery After polishing off our dim sum brunch at Tian Xin Lou, we planned to stroll back to our […]
Chicken biscuits (Ji Zai Bing 鸡仔饼) have been my childhood snack obsession, and I’ve recently discovered there’s more to these treats than meets the eye. Growing up, Mum was absolutely mad about the thin crispy version. Every Malaysia trip meant bringing back packets of these golden delights for the family. The Thick vs Thin Chicken […]
Tian Xin Lou 添心楼 sits smack in the middle of JB Old Town’s most Instagram-worthy shophouse trio. You can’t miss it – three units painted in traffic light colours that practically scream for your attention. Chai Ji Fish Soup rocks the red on the left, Tian Xin Lou claims the green middle spot, and Bei’s […]
I came across BEUTEA 茶仙子 during a recent food crawl in Mount Austin, and I was genuinely impressed by what this tea brand brings to the table. After stuffing ourselves silly at Pin Wan Wan, we were in desperate need of a walk to shake off the food coma before heading to our next stop. […]
On our recent food trip to Johor Bahru, we ended up at Pin Wan Wan Mini Bowl @ Mount Austin. Despite making countless trips across the causeway over the years, we had never thought to explore Mount Austin. Looking back, it’s hard to believe we overlooked it for so long. My husband and I have […]
ROPUDON 肉山の霸丼 at Permas City, Johor Bahru first came on my radar through RedNote posts flaunting their drool-worthy donburi bowls. I’ll admit, I was completely hooked by those pics. Since I was heading over to Plentong for some shopping at Eco-Shop and Ninso, and Permas City was right along the way, I figured it was […]
Every Monday evening, the area outside KSL City comes alive as the popular KSL pasar malam kicks off from 5pm. After indulging in a relaxing massage at nearby Thong Thai, we strolled over to join the crowds and see what the buzz was all about. The night market was a feast for the senses – […]
Not exactly sharing a long, detailed food review post about Hiap Joo Bakery & Biscuit Factory this time. I’ve already raved about their banana cake and coffee cake previously. But I thought I’d share their 2025 price list so you know what to expect before heading down to JB. There’s been a price increase since I last blogged […]
Padi Kopitiam 稻香咖啡 first caught my eye as we drove into Amari Johor Bahru after wrapping up our Desaru getaway. By the time we checked in, we were absolutely starving — and then I remembered the kopitiam we’d just spotted right before turning into the hotel driveway. Perfect timing, since it’s literally next door, barely […]
I needed to collect a cake from Awfully Chocolate at Tampines, and that gave me the perfect excuse to finally check out Abundance Taiwanese Restaurant & Craft Beer Bar at Century Square. I hadn’t been since it opened in September 2024, so I made a lunch reservation. What followed were two visits in just three […]
While browsing Valu$ at Tampines 1, I spotted the SNICKERS Peanut Brownie Bar on the shelf. That one discovery quickly snowballed into grabbing a handful of different SNICKERS bars I hadn’t tried yet. Why Valu$ Might Be the Best Place for Cheap Treats Sometimes the best finds happen when you’re not even looking. As I […]
After trying similar viral bakes elsewhere, I was curious about BreadTalk’s Butter Mochi and Mini Momoji. Ever since Bao’s Pastry made waves in Singapore, local bakeries have been jumping on the trend, churning out their own versions of hits like floss cakes and butter mochi. I’ve been completely hooked on Swee Heng’s Butter Mochi – honestly can’t get enough of […]
I swung by Woodleigh Mall initially to grab the butter baked rice cake from Swee Heng, and while looking for something to dabao back for dinner, I spotted Qin Ji Rougamo. Where You Can Find Qin Ji Rougamo Qin Ji Rougamo has several outlets in Singapore, including the one at Woodleigh Mall. You can also […]
Mamma Mia Trattoria E Caffè at Waterway Point had been sitting on my must-try list for months, so I was excited to finally check it out with my husband. This unassuming Italian chain has been quietly winning over Singaporeans with its hearty pastas and homestyle feel, and after our visit, I can honestly say it’s […]
I stumbled upon Reese’s Nutrageous during a random grocery run at Sheng Siong, thanks to a Buy 1 Get 1 Free promo. I gave it a try, enjoyed it, then promptly forgot all about it—until the same promo popped up again recently and brought it back to mind. Worth sharing about, especially for all you […]
