It had been a while since we last swung by Dempsey, so the husband and I decided to make a morning of it. Burnt Ends Bakery had been on our radar for a bit, and brunch at Dempsey Hill felt like the perfect excuse. If you’re hunting for a quiet, low-key bakery spot away from the usual […]
This was honestly a bit of an accidental visit. Hubby kept asking what cake I wanted for my birthday, and after doing some research I decided I wanted macarons from a local macaron specialty shop — I’ll share more about that in a separate post. But even after I told him, hubby still wanted to […]
Hubby and I had just finished lunch at Bored Tacos and were on our way to Lexus Durian to grab some durians when I spotted Thiam Yian Confectionery. An old school bakery? I’m always going in — no question about it. I’ve always had a soft spot for bakeries like this. They bring back childhood memories. […]
Brought my folks to Yue at Aloft for their zi char a la carte buffet recently, and it was quite a different experience from the usual buffets we frequent. First time trying a zi char buffet for all of us, actually. Best part? They’ve got this 1-for-1 promotion which makes it super worthwhile. The restaurant […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Rempah by Chilli Padi at Anchorvale Village wasn’t our first choice for dinner. After a pickleball session, we wandered around the hawker centre upstairs. Nothing excited us. We headed to the basement where NTUC FairPrice sits. That’s when we spotted Rempah by Chilli Padi, with diners happily working through plates of nasi lemak and noodles. […]
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 […]
