If you often head to Bugis especially the Haji Lane area, then you definitely would have come across this busy corner cafe off Haji Lane. I had wanted to try this on previous occasions when I was in the vicinity but I always came at the wrong time and had to give it a miss as […]
Whenever I go back to UK with the husband, one of the first things I’ll do is to head to Tesco to grab a box of my favourite Fresh Cream & Belgian Chocolate Choux Buns. Those are utterly delicious! When back in Singapore, I often lament the non-existence of a good choux bun in Singapore until a […]
I was invited to a food tasting over the weekend at The Lawn Cafe @ Biopolis (nearest MRT is Buona Vista) which was located on the first floor of one of the office buildings (Nanos) next to the newer The Metropolis. Being in such an area, I had initially expected The Lawn to be a similar […]
While I was queuing up for Selera Rasa’s dum briyani next door, the auntie from this kueh kueh stall who was scooping freshly steamed yam paste into disposable containers kept telling me how fantastic her yam paste was. The thing is, I wasn’t the only person in the queue and I wasn’t even standing nearest […]
After having some divine cakes at Lynn’s Cakes & Coffee @ Eng Kong Terrace, hubby and I walked to Lorong Kilat to check out our next cafe destination, Carpenter and Cook. You know, the greatest fun and joy I get from cafe hopping is to be able to appreciate every cafe like a piece of art. […]
K came by my house for lunch (and dinner, lol, we could just go on and on!) last week and briefly mentioned she was hooked onto this soft cranberry bread from Paris Baguette. I then realised I hadn’t visited PB for quite a while now. (Read my earlier review on Paris Baguette Cafe) Over the weekend while I was […]
Update Nov 2015: This cafe has closed. The husband and I had an enjoyable Indian vegetarian lunch at Upper Dickson Road and decided to take a walk in the vicinity when we spotted this retro-looking cafe along Dunlop Street, just beside Zsofi Tapas Bar. Needless to say, it was the decor that really caught my eye as […]
One of the best salted egg paus (‘steamed buns’) I ever had was actually bought from the chilled section of the supermarket. Actually, I was surprised that I could get such high quality salted egg buns without having to visit an established dim sum restaurant so now I would just stock up with these ready packs and […]
Right after Baker Talent opened for business at Ang Mo Kio Central, I spotted another new bakery Yuen Long Hong Kong Pastry & Buns just diagonally across which always has a queue of patrons whenever I pass by. Not a bad thing actually. It just means we have more choices of bakeries in the town central now. The husband […]
When the husband and I are out on a date, enjoying a sweet treat at tea time is a mandatory thing to do, lol. After our satisfying lunch at Nando’s followed by a good dose of retail therapy (actually it was him who really shopped, not me! times had changed…haha), we headed to Secret Recipe for its […]
The husband was missing his favourite gigantic Muar sugarcane juice from Chomp Chomp so we stopped by for an early dinner to satisfy his craving with a feast of our all-time favourite BBQ wings and satay. After dinner, we were walking around Serangoon Gardens looking for desserts and came across Little Wimbly Lu that had opened […]
As mentioned in my earlier post (Food Factory Outlet Shopping at Woodlands Terrace: Zac Meat & Poultry and Melvados), I had ventured into Blk 15 Woodlands Loop for the first time just to see what was there. This building houses the central kitchens for various caterers and food establishments and it doesn’t have a very […]
One good thing about having a BBC (British-born Chinese) husband (who shares the same passion in food) as my BMB (Best Makan Buddy) is that I get to revisit many of my old favourite food places and also discover new ones too as we explore a different part of Singapore every week. He makes me see my homeland from […]
After having a hearty breakfast at Happy 3 Bites Cafe, my ‘PIC’ and I hopped over to Batterworks where we spent the longest time in out of the three cafes we visited at Everton Park. This cafe was such a sweet find. Clearly a hidden gem in this quiet neighbourhood. I loved its cosy ambience, […]
[Updated Dec 2014: Spanish Doughnuts is now closed.] Churros, my greatest love and they always have been since I had my first bite of it while in the US many many years ago. I don’t remember having (or even seeing) any churros when I was in Barcelona with K (which is kinda weird when it’s […]
I’m back at my favourite hawker centre with the husband! There’s this indescribable charm to the whole Tiong Bahru Market environment that always makes me want to come here and eat and whatever food I order can just easily put a smile on my face and makes me go ‘hmm hmm’, lol. Anyway, we were here […]
