Kawan Bowl first landed on my radar during one of our usual pickleball nights at Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre. We’d just wrapped up a game, drenched in sweat and ready to eat, when someone at the next table ordered this hearty-looking Chicken Luncheon bowl that looked pretty shiok. That was enough to get us curious. […]
Since Punggol Coast Hawker Centre opened in July 2025, my hubby and I have made it our mission to try as many stalls as we can. We’ve worked our way through curry puffs, nyonya kueh, curry chicken noodles, pao fan, oyster omelette, carrot cake, wu xiang xia bing, rojak – you name it. Most of […]
After checking out from Pullman Singapore Hill Street, we weren’t ready to head home just yet. Lunch first. We walked over to Capitol, stomachs rumbling, and decided on True Breakfast 初早餐 for some Taiwanese comfort food. First Impressions We arrived just after 11am. The place was empty. Staff welcomed us warmly. We sat down, scanned […]
Yugoslavia Bakery & Cafe popped up on my Yindii app whilst browsing during a staycation at Pullman Singapore Hill Street. I’d never tried their bakes before, so when I saw a surprise bakery bag available at their CityLink outlet, I decided to give it a go. If you’re interested to sign up for Yindii and […]
Two Cranes is tucked inside Capitol Singapore, and we stumbled upon it whilst hunting for lunch before our Pullman Singapore Hill Street staycation. This halal-certified Korean cafe’s minimalist setup and cosy vibe pulled us in straight away. We reached around 12:30pm and the place was packed with the working lunch crowd. Lucky for us, a […]
Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1 isn’t your typical airport lounge dining spot. It’s a proper restaurant experience tucked away in the airside area, and if you’ve got Priority Pass, you’re in for a solid pre-flight meal. We were heading to Langkawi (our second trip in a year – […]
Poh Guan Cake House at Hong Lim Complex caught me completely off guard. I originally went there hunting for ruan gao – those soft, mochi-like glutinous rice rolls my mum used to buy for prayers when I was a kid. But once I got there, the sight of freshly made Chinese Teochew traditional pastries sitting […]
Shu Yan Sichuan Cuisine has been sitting pretty on my food bucket list ever since I spotted it trending on RedNote. The buzz around their weekday lunch buffet got me curious. After a solid experience at Xiao He Shan‘s similar setup at Grantral Mall, I figured it was time to give this Chinatown Point spot […]
I came across Hong Lim Curry Puff during a post-pickleball dinner hunt at Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre. This relatively new brand packs serious heritage behind its crispy golden shells. A quick Google search revealed the fascinating backstory. Hong Lim Curry Puff traces its roots to Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff at Hong Lim Market & Food […]
I’d blogged about Dona Manis Cake Shop some time back when I used Pickupp service to deliver a box of banana pies to my doorstep. The shop location was too out of the way from where I live. That was my first time trying their banana pies, and I really fell in love with them – they […]
I first noticed 115 Ho Jiak Western Cuisine at One Punggol Hawker Centre when a group of boys were tucking into these mega-sized chicken cutlets—and that was enough to convince me to give it a try. Honestly, I’m so glad I did. Working from Punggol Regional Library has become our routine, and this western food […]
Auntie Peng Banana Pie was exactly why we headed to Katong Shopping Centre. The hubby and I had just finished at East Coast Park and decided to drive over for some chicken rice and those banana pies I’d been meaning to try. Most folks know Dona Manis Cake Shop as the go-to spot for banana […]
I asked hubby what cake he fancied for his birthday and he immediately said he wanted the Chocolate Banana Cake from Awfully Chocolate. Fair enough – seemed like a wise choice as we hadn’t had that for a long, long time and really kinda missed it. But here’s where it gets interesting. While I was […]
I first tried the Bahlsen Pick Up Minis a few years ago when a friend gifted me a Christmas snack hamper. Nestled among the chocolates and biscuits was a pack of these minis. Honestly? Love at first bite. Why These Bahlsen Pick Up Minis Stand Out I don’t usually reach for sandwich biscuits. The filling’s often too […]
Hubby and I were at Geneo Mall to collect our race pack when Pasta Express caught our fancy. No queue, no hype—just a whim that had us taking some home for lunch. Turns out, the best carbs sometimes find you. 🙂 Pasta Express Locations NTU North Spine NUS Frontier SMU Connexion The Venue Shoppes The […]
Hainan Beef Noodle & Claypot Rice at Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre serves up claypot rice in portions that are impressively hearty. This unassuming stall became my regular haunt after just one visit. First Impressions Hainan Beef Noodle & Claypot Rice first drew my attention when Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre opened last year. Although the stall […]
