Rive Gauche Patisserie – Go Napoleon!

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 […]

KFC Double Chocolate Egg Tart

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 […]

EWF by Everything with Fries in Orchard

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 […]

Hup Chong Hakka Yong Dou Foo at Toa Payoh

A sense of sudden nostalgia made me stop at Braddell MRT on my way home from work. This was the area that I was so familiar with when I was working as a student care teacher while studying for my part time degree. The good old days indeed. Who can ever forget the taste of […]

I knew it wouldn’t be easy to hunt down a similar authentic restaurant in Singapore until I read about Blue Garden from a few local food blogs. Located on the ground level […]

Chey Sua Carrot Cake at Toa Payoh

  After watching a recap programme of Yummy King in which taxi drivers and members of the public voted this as one of the top carrot cakes in Singapore, I decided to make my way there and to try it myself to see if it is really as good as what people say it is. […]

Astons Express at Ang Mo Kio Central

Hubby and I were exploring a part of Ang Mo Kio Central which we usually don’t frequent and surprisingly we noticed a really long queue at the coffee shop. I had heard raving reviews of Astons but had never tried it and since we had the time, we decided to just go for it. Normally, […]

Gong Cha 贡茶 @ Orchard Central

Melon Tea with White Pearl Jelly ($2.70)   Flavourful with all the melon goodness. It is not too sweet and perfectly quenches that thirst on a hot sunny afternoon. I guess after all it is still considered rather healthy given that it doesn’t contain milk and it’s a body cooling drink. I really enjoyed the […]
