Marlow’s Deli caught me completely off guard during one of my East Coast wanderings. Hubby’s been doing physio in the area, so I’ve been exploring lunch spots while waiting around. Googled for options and this place popped up. As a proper bread person who lives for sandwiches, I had to check it out. From Wooly’s […]

The Saigon caught us on one of those days when we were properly sick of our usual Punggol haunts. You know the feeling – same old kopitiams, same old hawker centres, same old everything. A quick Google search led us to this Vietnamese stall tucked inside Foodgle Coffeeshop at 308C Punggol Walk, just five minutes […]

What The Puff! at Punggol Coast Hawker Centre serves curry puffs that’ll make you travel across Singapore just for a bite. My husband and I first tried two puffs here and loved them so much, we returned for lunch and packed a box for tea time. Five Flavours, All Winners What The Puff! offers five […]

So I was accompanying my husband for his physio session at East Coast, and once he was done, we were both starving. Did a quick Google search for lunch spots nearby and Bites & Brews popped up. Figured we’d give it a shot. First Impressions We visited during Halloween, so the place was decked out […]

Dong Bei Ren Jia 东北人家 came into my life through my husband, who’d been sneaking off there with his colleagues for Chinese dishes and beer sessions. He’d bring home takeaways from this spot, and honestly, I was hooked from the first bite. After checking out from our weekend staycation at Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre, […]

Last time I passed by Pretty Good Muffins at Hong Lim Complex during peak lunch hours, the queue was ridiculously long. Made a mental note to return, and finally got my chance during a mini staycation at Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre. Showed up Saturday morning around 10.40am, even though they’re meant to open at […]

Heng Heng Ondeh Ondeh & Tapioca Cake has been my husband’s go-to spot for 15 years. Back when he worked near Maxwell Market, he’d grab their kueh during lunch for office tea breaks. They’d often sell out before closing time. COVID hit, work-from-home started, and we stopped visiting for ages. One Saturday morning, we wandered […]

Cafe 2000 at M Hotel Singapore was our pick for a quick catchup with the folks before hubby and I jetted off to Western Australia. We’d been here before and shared our experience because the buffet menu caters perfectly to my parents’ fussy tastebuds. Plus, the live BBQ is a solid bonus. Festive Dinner Menu […]

We were on a mini staycation at Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre on Club Street, and honestly… how could we not swing by Messina when it’s literally right next door? The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendliest staff who encouraged us to sample anything we liked. No pressure, no rush — […]

Hubby and I were planning a one-night staycation at Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre. We needed lunch before checking in, and since we hadn’t had Korean BBQ in ages, a quick Google search brought up Danji Korean BBQ Buffet. Made a reservation and off we went. First Impressions at Danji Korean BBQ Buffet The warm […]

FEBO caught our attention after spotting several outlets while wandering around Amsterdam. On our final day before heading to Brussels, we decided to give this iconic Dutch fast-food chain a proper try. What Makes FEBO Different FEBO started back in 1941 in Amsterdam. They serve typical fast-food fare like fries, burgers, and fried snacks. But […]

Polaberry caught me completely off guard during my Amsterdam trip. This is one of those rare times I went for something that looks beautiful over something I knew would be delicious. Those social media feeds got me good. Rocked up at Polaberry literally 6 minutes before closing time. Big mistake. The counter staff was properly […]

The Happy Pig Pancake Shop became our saving grace after Upstairs Pancakes turned us away without a reservation. We’d wanted to try that famous spot housed in a 16th century building with its really steep stairs leading up to the dining area. But no reservation meant no pancakes there. Located just 500 metres away, The […]

Vegan Junk Food Bar sits just a 3-minute walk from the Heineken Experience, making it a convenient lunch stop after your brewery tour. We spotted it whilst hunting for food nearby, and the solid Google reviews sealed the deal. Whether you’re vegan or not, this Amsterdam spot’s worth checking out – they’re doing plant-based junk […]

We hadn’t heard of Bulgogi Syo before this visit. Punggol just launched a new bus service 104 that passes by our neighbourhood, so hubby and I decided to take it for a spin. The route took us all the way to Woodleigh Mall – not bad for a lazy Sunday adventure. While browsing through Woodleigh […]
