The final instalment of my What to buy from South Korea? series. Click here for Part 1 and Part 2. Husband’s brother and sister-in-law had highly recommended him to buy cheesecake from Paris Baguette, one of the top bakery chains in Korea. So he got the cake as well as a few other items from the outlet […]
Reputed for its famous traditional tau sar piah (bean paste pastry), Thye Moh Chan almost made its exit from history in 2011 by closing its doors. However the Breadtalk Group decided to preserve the legacy of this 70-year old Teochew bakery with three brand new outlets at Chinatown Point, Parkway Parade and VivoCity. I wasn’t […]
Recently, I have been seeing quite a number of Pezzo kiosks around. I was walking past one at Woodlands Xchange when someone inside suddenly gestured and ‘shouted’ to us to try their pizzas because they are ‘VERY NICE’ and the ‘BEST IN TOWN’. I was a little amused because the outlet looked newly opened and […]
Tiong Bahru Galicier Pastry is a neighbourhood bakery that specialises in traditional nonya kuehs, cakes and pastries. A simple shop front with no fanciful finishings, it exudes a type of old-school charm which I used to see back in the 80s. Totally unpretentious but filled with delectable snacks that bring back the fond memories of […]
When I was recently blogging about Tea Lounge @ Regent Hotel where its scones are very popular with the locals, I was reminded of the best tea time experience I’ve ever had when I visited the birthplace of William Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon. Getting a taste of olde England in Shakespeare’s hometown was something very surreal to me. […]
Woohoo!!! Definitely the best news ever for donut fans like me! I have waited 9 years for this day! It’s probably not a big deal to some of you because Krispy Kreme is probably readily available at where you live but for Singapore, this is truly a milestone as the donut industry here will finally be […]
Located just a stone’s throw away from the ever popular Tiong Bahru market, this artisan bakery is not to be missed. I first heard of its name when I read about it in the Sunday Times and on a couple of food blogs too and I just had to ask the husband to grab some of […]
Macadamia CaramelCrisp ($9.00 for small bag) Who would ever expected popcorn to be that exquisite that this gourmet outlet would just spruce all over town in a flash? Every time I walk by a Garrett popcorn shop, I’d marvel at the long queue of people who are willing to pay a substantial amount of money […]
I love British street food. I have tasted good fish & chips while in the UK esp. the fresh cod ones. Not sure why this outlet is labelled as a British Take Away though I don’t recall seeing such greasy deep fried snacks around when I was there. Even my Brit husband said this was […]
I recently spotted this little bakery shop tucked away in a row of shophouses while on the way for a team lunch with my colleagues and vowed to return to try its muffins. Shortly after, my colleague bought some for us and I must say they have one of the best muffins I have […]
I discovered this interesting sweet treat kiosk during a lunch time walk at Raffles Xchange (Raffles Place MRT) and was quite fascinated by the pretty packaging of these nougats. I was given a sample of the cranberry nougat and simply fell in love with it. Cranberry nougat ($7.80 per pack of 10 pieces) Generous servings […]
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 […]
For some reasons, I just love Chomp Chomp. It isn’t a very big food centre and most of the stalls are in fact repeated but there are gems to explore and it never fails to surprise me each time I’m there. Large-size sugar cane juice ($3.00 each from Stall 25) No more medium-sized glasses. This […]
A family friend recommended me this rojak stall at Gourmet Paradise Food Court in the basement of the Toa Payoh HDB Hub. As I came down from the escalator, I was surprised to see a long (and probably the only one in the entire food court) queue at the stall even though it was a […]
