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. What started as a quick pit stop turned into a proper coffee discovery that’s got me planning my next visit already. Indonesian Coffee Chains Taking Over […]

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 […]

Gokoku Japanese Bakery caught my attention a long time back, and honestly, I haven’t looked back since. This authentic Japanese ‘wa’ (和) bakery brings over six decades of bread-making heritage from Kobe, Japan, straight to Singapore’s bustling food scene. What sets this place apart isn’t just the fancy backstory. It’s how they stick to traditional […]

Shiok Burger is relatively new to Singapore’s fast food scene. They only opened their first outlet at Paya Lebar Square in December 2023. Fast forward to now, and they’ve got 13 outlets across Singapore. Here’s where you can find them: Paya Lebar Square Compass One Seletar Mall Sengkang Grand Mall Stars of Kovan Raffles City ESR […]

YY Kafei Dian on Beach Road is honestly one of those places I’ll trek across Singapore for. It’s my absolute chicken rice lifesaver whenever I’m wandering around Bugis with a rumbling tummy. I’ve been hitting up this spot for a couple of years now, and let me tell you – it’s proper old-school Singapore that’s […]

XW Western Grill with its all-you-can-eat salad bar first caught my eye on RedNote and I couldn’t resist checking it out. Total throwback to those Sizzler and Ponderosa days, right? Hidden in the bustling basement of Raffles City, this spot seems to be getting quite the buzz for its combo of Western mains and unlimited […]

Rasa Istimewa Waterfront Restaurant at Woodlands Waterfront offers both delicious food and breathtaking seaside views. After spotting this place during a previous visit and watching Woodlands Waterfront being featured on TV where Mediacorp GOLD 905’s Denise Tan did a walk from Woodlands Jetty to Marsiling Crescent for nasi padang, I knew I had to bring […]

One of my readers recommended me to try Ah Seng Bak Kut Teh after I did a comprehensive review of popular BKTs in SG and JB. For those who missed out on my earlier posts, have a read if you’re interested: Song Fa Bak Kut Teh Founder Bak Kut Teh Ng Ah Sio Bak Kut […]

Normally, when we hear the word ‘pancake’, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the round, thin & fluffy cake that we eat with syrup and/or butter like the hotcakes from Mac N Dees. While Pancake King does breakfast and dessert pancakes (with bananas & caramel sauce, sausage & eggs or chicken nuggets […]

When I heard that 49 Seats had launched their newest branch at Orchard Central and that it would be open for both lunch and dinner, I was just thrilled because the original outlet at Kreta Ayer Road only operates during dinner & supper and it’s always busy! Count the number of chairs when you’re here […]

If Yum Cha Restaurant is on my top list for dim sum (their prawn-based items like siew mai, beancurd rolls and prawn mango sesame fritters are just delish!), then Wen Dao Shi is really a close second if not on par. What I like about Wen Dao Shi (pronounced as ‘Wan Dou Sek’ in Cantonese […]

Update: The Mama Shop has closed w.e.f. Aug 2015. The husband and I went to Chinatown to shop for kitchenware and were about to make our way home from Pearls Centre but we couldn’t catch the CT8 bus in time which meant we had to wait for another 40 minutes for the next one. As […]

My recent food posts were all Whampoa-related and this shall be the last of the lot to conclude my Whampoa/Balestier eat-venture. There’s no better way to end off with yet another great find of an old school bakery like this. Many may not have heard of Sing Hon Loong but most (if not all) of […]
