Update: Closed on 31 December 2016. I was making my way to Tong Heng to grab my favourite egg tarts when I stumbled upon this Korean-inspired cafe which was located directly opposite the Chinatown Food Street. I was just captivated by the arty-farty feel of the cafe exterior which was likely trying to replicate the […]
One thing I love about Thai Basil Chicken is how sweet and aromatic the dish is because of the use of basil leaves which is one of my favourite herbs. While the ones I’ve had outside previously were mostly drier versions (almost dry to little sauce) served with steamed rice and a sunny side up, […]
Most of you in Singapore have probably heard about Porn’s which is a Thai restaurant chain owned by Singapore Mediacorp TV host, Pornsak Prajakwit. In case you’re wondering why the restaurant has such a name (I know what some of you are thinking!), ‘Porn’ in Thai simply means blessing or happiness. The husband and I […]
I was at Bishan Park more than a week ago for a dog adoption drive and decided to stop by McDonald’s to try their latest Ebi Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. Was really excited because this was my first ‘seafood’ meal since my thyroid surgery last month and didn’t expect it would be fast food […]
The last time the husband and I came by Thasevi was probably 4 or 5 years ago. A while back, we happened to be in the area and thought we would stop by for supper with our usual order of plain prata, egg prata and mee goreng. It was a Saturday night but it was […]

It is what I call the Chinese version of Spaghetti Bolognese. The classic zha jiang mian normally uses minced pork in the sauce but I […]
“Eat Green, Feel Good!” And I’m not talking about those oily and greasy vegetarian bee hoon with crispy vegetarian goose. These days, vegetarian fare is a notch better than what it used to be in terms of variety. Bento. Sushi. Sashimi. Rendang. Fish Soup. Braised Duck Rice. Burgers. Sandwiches. And so much more. Everything comes […]
There was a period of time before my surgery when I kept going to Yishun because I had to go Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for medical appointments. And one of those days, the husband and I went scouting around for a place to eat and we found this eating house located near the Yishun MRT […]
Enjoying restaurant quality food without breaking the bank is indeed a dream come true. Now we can all indulge in good meals at what I call an upscale food court or coffeeshop like the new Essen that’s located at The Pinnacle @ Duxton. Very similar concept to Salut Coffeeshop @ 119 Bukit Merah Lane 1, Essen […]
