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 […]

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 […]

On our way to Geneo to pick up the TriFactor race pack, we decided to pop by Xiao He Shan 小和山优选快餐 for lunch. The hubby had spotted their $12.80 nett Chinese buffet on a previous mall visit and hasn’t stopped going on about it since. So of course, we had to finally give it a […]

Cinnabon wasn’t exactly penciled in on my to-do list that day. My plan was simple: pop into Citylink Mall to get my ski pants altered, then head straight home. But errands have a way of leading you into little detours, and in this case, it was the irresistible scent of cinnamon drifting out from Raffles […]

I discovered Drunken Pot & Pho Ngon Vietnam by chance while buying tarts at June Bakery. Both are tucked away on the B1 level of The Plaza. We were there at 11am+ and they’d only just opened for business. First customers of the day. The usual drill these days is scanning QR codes on tables […]

June Bakery has been on my must-visit list forever, but their weekday-only hours and sell-out tendencies made it nearly impossible to try. Finally managed to snag some of their legendary tarts during a staycation at PARKROYAL on Beach Road – and now I understand the hype. Finding June Bakery Staying at PARKROYAL on Beach Road? You’ve […]

The new McCrispy burger at McDonald’s first grabbed my attention on Thursday when I noticed a massive queue snaking outside their outlet. I was heading out for lunch and, curious about the fuss, decided to check it out. Free Launch Day Queue Experience Turns out McDonald’s was giving out free McCrispy burgers to celebrate the […]
