Decided to give Hubby a treat at Gram Cake & Pancakes. Had walked past it so many times before and he kept saying how much he wanted to try their souffle pancakes. And yep, the moment I was off my low-carb/no-sugar diet, we just had to come here. One thing off his wish list, woohoo! […]
Got to know about Butcher Box in Joo Chiat as one of Hubby’s mates would always buy meat from here for their BBQ gatherings. Every now and then, he would mention how tasty the meat is and that we should really go get some. Hence when we were hanging out at East Coast earlier, we […]
If you love old school treats like the banana cakes and coconut buns from Hiap Joo Bakery, you may also want to check out Salahuddin Bakery while in Johor Bahru. Salahuddin Bakery is located on Jalan Dhoby, which is about a 2-minute walk away from Hiap Joo, right on the next street. If you don’t […]
Having tried many banana cakes in Singapore and elsewhere, I just couldn’t find anything close to the banana cakes from Hiap Joo Bakery in Johor Bahru. Their banana cakes really reminded me of my childhood in the 1980s. My late granny and I loved banana cakes a lot then and they were readily available at […]
Curry On Sunshine. Braise Me Up. Say Cheese. BFF. You’re probably wondering what they are though some of the words may have already given away clues. They are actually names of dishes on the menu of Butter Bean Singapore – curry chicken rice, braised chicken rice, cheese toast and fish fillet sandwich. Welcome to #TheBBrightSide! […]
Besides the pastries from Ghee Hiang which would make great food souvenirs from Penang, you can also check out the array of Malaysian food products and snacks from Ban Heang. Ban Heang sells tau sar piah, beh teh saw and the like too but for such pastries, I think Ghee Hiang does them better since […]
One of my favourite things to buy when in Penang would be the tau sar piah (豆沙饼) from Ghee Hiang Bakery. I must say their tau sau piah is one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s a taste of tradition yet their pastries are made very giftable with proper box packaging. Prices are reasonable […]
On our last night in Penang, we went to Pulau Tikus Hawker Centre for our last supper. One week in Penang just flew by in an instant! I’m so going to miss all these good food we had. And of course, thank you to my readers for following me on my Penang food journey for […]
This Bangkok Lane Mee Goreng is something that I deeply miss and constantly crave for after every trip to Penang. I’m not kidding but ever since trying their mee goreng, I’ve not been able to enjoy a regular plate of mee goreng back home in Singapore. Because there’s nothing quite like Bangkok Lane Mee Goreng, […]
After spending the morning at Penang Hill where we enjoyed a cool respite from the hot weather, we headed to Hot Bowl White Curry Mee @ Jalan Rangoon for lunch. Yes, you read it right. It is white curry mee, which is a unique dish that Penang has. We were here at peak lunch time […]
We had a lovely evening cocktail at the Executive Lounge of G Hotel Kelawai earlier. Yet we still felt peckish an hour later, lol. Not a big problem anyway as there were plenty of food options in the area. We headed out and made our way towards Gurney Drive Hawker Centre, which was just a […]
The first time I heard about Bao Sheng Durian Farm was when I watched a travel program on TV. Hence during our trip to Penang, I thought I would include a 2D1N durian farm stay in our itinerary. Just so we could experience life in the countryside. And at the same time, we could know […]
My hubby seemed to be very into bolo buns these days since our dinner date at Fat Po, where we tried a fusion dish of Masala Breaded Fish Bolo Burger. He kept saying the bolo bun was the best thing on the entire plate, lol. When I heard that Champion Bolo Bun, which is also […]
Checking out the convenience stores in other cities is something that I would definitely do when travelling. It’s just interesting to know and see what range of food offerings each city has because it’s always different in every place. Convenience stores around the world America – Fancy some late night snacking on hotdogs, burgers and […]
Started our Day 5 in Penang early as we only had this morning left in George Town before we checked out of our hotel. Going for a durian farm stay at Balik Pulau later in the day. So excited! Woohoo! Decided to have a quick breakfast at this wantan mee place that was located very […]
Shop on Pickupp Ever since I discovered Pickupp’s food delivery service more than a month ago, I’ve been using it regularly to deliver tea time treats from my favourite bakeries to my doorstep. Very convenient service as I’m working from home so it really saves me the time and hassle to travel to town just […]
