This has always been one of my favourite patisseries in town. Just a simple “no frills”, “to-go” counter located at Takashimaya’s food hall. Classy French style of packaging Napoleon ($6 per slice) Three layers of French style puff pastry with a layer of soft sponge and freshly whipped cream with sliced strawberries and icing […]
Double Chocolate Egg Tart ($1.30 per piece or $7.50 per box of 6) Once bitten, twice the pleasure. That was how the tart got its name. Indeed when I first ordered the tart, the melty chocolate lava that was oozing from the top really got me all excited. Unfortunately, I couldn’t taste the difference between […]
I have heard about the Everything with Fries restaurants in Katong and Holland Village that were started by the people behind Awfully Chocolate but have not thought of going since they are quite out of the way for me. When we chanced upon its new burger joint in Orchard Central, we knew we just had […]
A sense of sudden nostalgia made me stop at Braddell MRT on my way home from work. This was the area that I was so familiar with when I was working as a student care teacher while studying for my part time degree. The good old days indeed. Who can ever forget the taste of […]
It has always been a challenge to me to find a good Chinese restaurant where the entire family will enjoy given the different tastes and high expectations we (esp. the older folks) all have with food. So for Dad’s birthday this year, I decided to bring the family to this little air-conditioned restaurant tucked away […]
I was reminiscing the days when I travelled to South Korea for work esp. that few authentic Korean BBQs I had when I was there. I knew it wouldn’t be easy to hunt down a similar authentic restaurant in Singapore until I read about Blue Garden from a few local food blogs. Located on the ground level […]
After watching a recap programme of Yummy King in which taxi drivers and members of the public voted this as one of the top carrot cakes in Singapore, I decided to make my way there and to try it myself to see if it is really as good as what people say it is. […]
Hubby and I were exploring a part of Ang Mo Kio Central which we usually don’t frequent and surprisingly we noticed a really long queue at the coffee shop. I had heard raving reviews of Astons but had never tried it and since we had the time, we decided to just go for it. Normally, […]
Melon Tea with White Pearl Jelly ($2.70) Flavourful with all the melon goodness. It is not too sweet and perfectly quenches that thirst on a hot sunny afternoon. I guess after all it is still considered rather healthy given that it doesn’t contain milk and it’s a body cooling drink. I really enjoyed the […]
A new creation from McDonalds that consisted of a nice slab of chicken cutlet grilled to perfection in between sourdough buns with lettuce and tomatoes. It is considered one of the more healthier options of fast food as compared to its fried counterparts. The chicken meat was well grilled, sealing in the juices and flavour. […]
My colleague and I decided to indulge in some comfort food after a depressing day at work. Sharkie Freeze ($6.50 per big glass for 2-pax to share) Their signature passion fruit blend that is huge enough to be shared by 2 persons. Have them split […]
A tiring shopping trip made us stop at Andersen’s to rest our feet and to sweeten our tummies. Andersen’s Classic ($12.90) comes with 5 scoops of ice cream of your preferred flavours served in a crispy chocolate dipped waffle basket. We ordered rum and raisin, hazelnuts & chocolate, cookies and cream, strawberries & cream & […]
A near Japanese meal that is slightly more expensive than our normal chap chye rice. I do love its combo meals that consists of 2 types of meat and 1 veggie on top of fragrant white rice. My personal favourite is the teriyaki chicken and beef combo that comes with a piping hot bowl of […]
Seafood! What?! Kiseki again??? Yes, it’s my second time to Kiseki within a span of one week! Never ever done such a thing before :p but the parents were too captivated by the earlier Kiseki pictures so I just had to bring them here this time which wasn’t a bad thing too as I could […]
The hunt for good affordable Japanese buffets continues. Since my past expeditions to Shin Minori and Kuishin Bo, which failed to tickle my fussy palates, I’m now here to conquer Kiseki which I heard is very popular among students and families. In fact, I was quite impressed with the prices for a Japanese restaurant located […]
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 […]
