After a really awesome meal of the “Best Chicken Wings in Singapore” from Two Wings, the husband and I came back to Essen again the following weekend for lunch. This time, we checked out 4 of the 5 remaining food stalls and indulged in a sumptuous feast at a fraction of what we would normally […]

Most of you in Singapore have probably heard about Porn’s which is a Thai restaurant chain owned by Singapore Mediacorp TV host, Pornsak Prajakwit. In case you’re wondering why the restaurant has such a name (I know what some of you are thinking!), ‘Porn’ in Thai simply means blessing or happiness. The husband and I […]

I was at Bishan Park more than a week ago for a dog adoption drive and decided to stop by McDonald’s to try their latest Ebi Burger and Sweet Potato Fries. Was really excited because this was my first ‘seafood’ meal since my thyroid surgery last month and didn’t expect it would be fast food […]

“Eat Green, Feel Good!” And I’m not talking about those oily and greasy vegetarian bee hoon with crispy vegetarian goose. These days, vegetarian fare is a notch better than what it used to be in terms of variety. Bento. Sushi. Sashimi. Rendang. Fish Soup. Braised Duck Rice. Burgers. Sandwiches. And so much more. Everything comes […]

There was a period of time before my surgery when I kept going to Yishun because I had to go Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for medical appointments. And one of those days, the husband and I went scouting around for a place to eat and we found this eating house located near the Yishun MRT […]

Enjoying restaurant quality food without breaking the bank is indeed a dream come true. Now we can all indulge in good meals at what I call an upscale food court or coffeeshop like the new Essen that’s located at The Pinnacle @ Duxton. Very similar concept to Salut Coffeeshop @ 119 Bukit Merah Lane 1, Essen […]

Update: This restaurant has ceased operation w.e.f. 26 June 2016. Most of you in Singapore have probably heard of 1 Market by now. Or perhaps you would remember seeing pictures of Chef Wan whenever you pass by this restaurant while at Plaza Singapura. That’s right. 1 Market (a clever word play on Chef Wan’s name) is […]

05/16 update: Seems like Dairy Queen has ceased operation in Singapore. It’s funny that the husband and I have now reversed roles. I used to be the one hooked onto online shopping but now he is the one looking out for deals and steals, haha. So while he was browsing for gadgets on Qoo10 a […]

I used to work near United Square years back and would often come by the Cedele outlet here for their soups during lunch. Their curry pumpkin soup and home-style beef stew were (and still are) my favourites and what I also liked about dining there was the free flow of artisanal breads that they provided. […]

I had known about Ocean Curry Fish Head more than five years ago when fellow colleagues highly raved about it. We would head there for lunch every now and then and I could still remember their very awesome Nonya-style fish head curry that was so worth travelling all the way there for. I hadn’t visited […]

When it comes to fish & chips, Fish & Co. has always been my preferred choice since my college days more than a decade ago which is also one of the few casual dining restaurants in Singapore that I would keep going back on a regular basis. Though I’ve seen and known about Boston Seafood […]

I came by City Vibe with H as we wanted to redeem our frozen yogurt treats that we got from Qoo10. We were quite surprised that even though Clementi was a bustling town centre, this mall that was located near to the MRT Station and next to Clementi Mall was just deserted even on a […]

The husband and I came by Ensogo Singapore’s office @ CT Hub a while back as we had to pick up an iPad bluetooth keyboard that we ordered on deal.com.sg. We were planning to have lunch at Taiwan Railway Bento but it was no longer in operation – what a shame because we did like their concept […]

Shrove Tuesday (also known as Pancake Day) is the day before Lent (the Christian season of preparation before Easter) begins and is celebrated in some countries by making and eating pancakes. This visit to Shrove Tuesday was a memorable one because it was the first time D and I went food-hopping together. I had brought […]

Not long ago, I had reviewed Udon Goen @ Wisma Atria where I swooned over its value-for-money and ginormous Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry Rice that was tasty and so-very-satisfying. This time round, I was invited to Washoku Goen @ VivoCity for a tasting session to try out its sumibiyaki (means charcoal grill in Japanese) which […]
