Huang Hong Ji Porridge 黄洪记粥 sits underneath 269A Punggol Field and I’ve seen it countless times whenever we take the bus to Punggol Interchange. The place has been on my radar for ages. Finally, it was one of those days when my hubby and I felt like taking a break from our usual mixed rice […]

Woke Ramen was a complete surprise discovery during our evening walk from Punggol to Sengkang.

Apparently, this is Singapore’s first halal-certified wok hei […]

Why Nanyang Kopitiams Are Taking Over Nanyang kopitiams have always […]

We are back at Rasa Istimewa Waterfront Restaurant with the folks for another family meal. They couldn’t stop craving that super shiok sambal stingray. I kept my promise to bring them back for dinner since Mum wanted to catch the sunset. Ever since Mum was diagnosed with breast cancer, she seems to be making up […]

Tomoro Coffee caught my attention during one of those random mall wandering sessions when my hubby and I needed somewhere to rest our tired legs at Novena Square 2.

Shake Shack Singapore has been on my radar since 2019, yet somehow I’d managed to try their burgers everywhere else – the US, UK, Japan – except right here in my own backyard! Funny how travel works, isn’t it? When burger cravings hit hard one afternoon and my husband suggested Shake Shack, I practically jumped […]

Acai bowls from Poke Theory caught me completely off guard when I spotted their standee poster at Velocity @ Novena Square. I always thought this place was strictly about poke bowls – turns out they’ve been quietly serving up colourful acai creations too. Stumbling Upon Poke Theory’s Acai Bowls Walking past their outlet, that standee […]

Nutella B-ready caught my attention during a recent Sheng Siong supermarket run, and honestly, I’m glad it did. I’m nuts about Nutella, haha. Just when I finished my stockpile of Nutella Biscuits which I had reviewed earlier, I came across another great promo at Sheng Siong. What Makes Nutella B-ready Special? This time round, it’s for Nutella […]

Nutella Biscuits have officially stolen my heart – and my wallet. These chocolatey Italian treats landed on Singapore shelves some time back, and I’ve been quietly obsessed ever since. The Great Nutella Biscuits Hunt Bought so many bags of these Nutella Biscuits when Sheng Siong was having a discount at $3.95 per pack. Normally they […]

I have no qualms about recommending Dona Manis Cake Shop to anyone who enjoys traditional sweet treats like a good old banana pie. In fact I don’t think there is another bakery in Singapore that does banana pies in the same way as Dona Manis. That’s probably why their banana pies are so special even […]

My maternal great grandmother was a Teochew who came to Singapore from Swatow, China. I remembered the times when all of us would gather around the dining table to help or watch her make traditional kueh during festive occasions. Her yam cake and png kueh were the best. Ever since 老嬤 passed away, I hadn’t […]

If you want to try boat noodles in Bangkok, do not miss out the Victory Monument Boat Noodles Alley where several different boat noodle restaurants are situated next to one another by a canal. Not exactly the most authentic experience as the noodles are not served from boats. They are tasty, nonetheless. As each bowl […]

Last year, I had reviewed Ah Seng Bak Kut Teh which one of my readers recommended me to try as I was searching for good BKTs in Singapore. I was back here a few weeks ago to have lunch after my therapy session. Wanted to try their noodles as I had seen customers ordering it […]
