Wholesale Nuts & Seeds at Teck Sang (Hong Kong Street)

While most people are stocking up their pantries with Chinese New Year tidbits and goodies, I’m stocking up mine with an assortment of nuts and seeds. After my recent visits to Victoria Wholesale Centre and Albert Centre Wholesale Market, I’m now into this (go) nuts shopping frenzy that I’m sure any chipmunk or squirrel would […]

Albert Centre Wholesale Market @ Queen Street (Bugis)

When I heard that there was a wholesale market on the third level of the Albert Centre Market and Food Centre, I felt really gutted for not knowing about it earlier. I had been to this part of Bugis umpteen times and often had meals in the vicinity too but yet I didn’t know a […]

Victoria Wholesale Centre @ Kallang Avenue

I was going to Geylang from Lavender and thought I’d stop by the Victoria Wholesale Centre on the way just to check out what the place was like. This was my first visit since the wholesale centre moved from Bugis to here 3 years ago. Most of us would be familiar with the Victoria Wholesale Centre […]

Drips Bakery Cafe @ Tiong Poh Road (Tiong Bahru)

As more and more new hipster cafe-hopping enclaves that are worth discovering & exploring are just sprouting up all over the island, Tiong Bahru seems to be less interesting than before as it is riddled with so many cafes of the same nature but… TB truly has this old school charm that is totally unparalleled. And […]

Awesome muffins from AJ Delights @ Alexandra Village Food Centre

The husband was at Alexandra Village Food Centre for lunch one weekday when he decided to buy a muffin for dessert after his colleague highly recommended this particular stall. And merely a few days after, we came back on the weekend as he kept telling me how good the muffin was and that I should really […]

Fix Cafe @ Ah Hood Road (HomeTeamNS-JOM)

I had been looking at pictures of those tantalising donuts with salted egg yolk dip on instagram and when I showed them to the husband, his heart fluttered. Donuts + salted egg yolk. How ingenious. We made a beeline for those little morsels. Didn’t care what else was there. We just had to satisfy our craving […]

I Am Cafe @ North Bridge Road (off Haji Lane)

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 […]

Flourish Pastries @ Tanjong Pagar Plaza

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 […]

The Lawn Cafe – Meat your Greens at this Specialty Grill & Salad Cafe

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 […]

Delightful Orh Nee (Yam Paste) from Tian Cheng Mei Shi 天成美食 @ Old Airport Road Food Centre

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 […]

Cafe hopping | Carpenter and Cook @ Lorong Kilat

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. […]

Paris Baguette Cinnamon, Apple & Love

Paris Baguette Cafe @ Bugis Junction (Revisit)

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 […]

[Closed] Flee Away Cafe @ Dunlop Street

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 […]

Charcoal Salted Egg Custard Pau and Chilli Crab Pau from Sin Mui Heng

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 […]

Yuen Long Hong Kong Pastry & Buns 元朗(香港)饼家 @ Ang Mo Kio Central

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 […]
