While waiting to check in at Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre, we wandered over to Brannigans Bar for lunch. Just a 3-minute walk away. One of my top reasons for wanting to visit Dublin? Experiencing a traditional Irish pub for beer and hearty pub fare. Irish pubs hold a special place in my heart […]

I was at Compass One on a weekday afternoon running some errands and figured I’d grab lunch there. Scrolled through the store directory and POCHA Korean Street Dining caught my eye. I’ve walked past this Korean spot countless times in other malls but never actually stepped in. Today felt like the perfect time to finally […]

My husband’s colleague raved about Durian SG Prime after ordering delivery, so we jumped on the bandwagon. Living where we do, getting quality durians means settling for whatever Sheng Siong has—and honestly? Not worth the price tag. Here’s the thing about Durian SG Prime: they’re not just some random delivery service. They’ve got an actual […]

When the IKEA CNY brochure landed in my mailbox, one item immediately grabbed my attention: IKEA Salted Egg Chicken Wings. My husband and I are huge salted egg fans—we love anything salted egg. Since I was already planning to pop by IKEA last week to check out their festive cookies, we figured why not just have […]

So there we were, done with sightseeing for the day. It was already drizzling, and we were planning to just walk back to our hotel and call it a day. Then I spotted Amorino Gelato on the way and honestly, couldn’t resist grabbing some gelato to eat. What is Amorino Gelato? Amorino Gelato is a […]

Fries time again! If you’ve been following my Amsterdam and Brussels posts, you’ll realise I’ve been eating WAY TOO MUCH fries. Honestly, I think it’s the most popular street food in this part of Europe. When the weather’s chilly and you want something warm but not a full meal, hot crispy fries just feel right. […]

Fancy the freshest catch of the day? Then you need to check out Noordzee Mer du Nord. This Brussels institution runs on a brilliant dual concept at the same address – fish shop meets fish bar. They’re essentially a fishmonger with an open kitchen serving up whatever’s freshest that day. Located smack in the Brussels […]

What started as a durian run to Lexus Durian King turned into an unexpected feast at Bored Tacos. Hubby and I were wandering around the Kovan/Hougang area when we spotted this gem at Forte Bowl. One glance at their menu plastered on the glass door and plans changed instantly. Late lunch? Early dinner? Who cares […]

Almost 10pm and my husband and I were feeling peckish. We’d only had a sandwich each from Le P’tit Normand hours ago, and our stomachs were demanding something more substantial. That’s when Black & White Burger came to mind – just a minute’s walk from our Aparthotel Adagio Brussels Grand Place, right next to Galet […]

Aux Merveilleux de Fred is this artisan French patisserie in Brussels that specialises in traditional Flemish meringue treats.

Stumbling Upon Aux Merveilleux de Fred Grand Place I […]

I was just craving a good sandwich when I ended up at Le P’tit Normand, right in the heart of Brussels near Grand Place. It was meant to be a quick bite, but it quickly turned into one of those unexpectedly memorable food stops. From the street, it looks like just another takeaway counter. Small […]

Daily Chicken has opened at Waterway Point, taking over the old Tiong Bahru Bakery space. I was excited because their Bugis Junction outlet has been on my list forever, and now I don’t need to travel to town. Daily Chicken is a family-friendly Korean restaurant by the team behind Daily Beer. They specialise in Korean […]

Chez Léon was on my to-eat list the moment I arrived in Brussels. Really wanted to try a traditional Belgian meal and this place kept popping up everywhere when I did my research. Established in 1893, this family-owned spot is best known for its mussels and frites. No fancy concept, just good Belgian food done […]

Galet was literally next door to our hotel in Brussels. We spotted it on day one whilst exploring the area – just a minute’s walk away. Perfect for a breakfast stop one morning. The Coffee at Galet We went for a regular coffee (€3) and a Macchiato (€4.80). Right off the bat, both were pretty […]

We were wandering around Brussels when we spotted this long queue snaking outside Fritland. Classic sign of good food, right? Problem was, we’d just smashed a heavy lunch and honestly couldn’t stomach more food at that point. Mental note made: come back later when the queue dies down. Which we did. Can I just say, […]
