Haagen Dazs Cafe at Vivo
Because our usual haunt, Starbucks is always suffocatingly crowded we headed to the Haagen Dazs Cafe instead which is not very popular due to steep prices. Their cookie dough ice cream is very good. I think much better than Ben … Continue reading
Nice View of Sentosa at Paradise Dynasty Vivo Branch
Had the usual at Paradise Dynasty. Always a long queue outside but we find that a whole section is not open and there are lots of empty seats within. Not enough staff or a tactic to give the perception that … Continue reading

Best Puttu Piring in Singapore
The Puttu Piring at Haig Road Hawker Centre was actually open, to our delight. Many stalls were closed for lunch due to the fasting month. It was as divine as it looks, especially the gula melaka within. Cost just $2 … Continue reading

London Fat Duck
London Fat Duck is at Scotts Square. This is the best char siew (B added that it’s a very good cut and well marbled) I’ve had although it was very expensive at $14.80. The pepper duck polo buns were very … Continue reading

East Coast Lagoon Hawker Food: Roxy Laksa
Had mediocre satay for lunch as our favourite store Haron was closed. But the fantastic Roxy laksa made up for it. Luckily that was open.

Nene Chicken was Too Sweet, Prefer Popeyes
The Korean Fried Chicken craze has been going on for quite some time, popular especially among the young. I found Nene Chicken (One KM branch) way too spicy and overly sweet. Not much of a complex taste other than extremely … Continue reading

Samy’s Curry is Always Satisfying
A meal at Samy’s Curry (the Dempsey original branch) facing the greenery, never disappoints.

Ice Cream & Waffle at OTG Again
If you prefer your ice cream not too sweet, you might like the home made vanilla ice cream at OTG. I prefer mine richer and other flavours, but it was great with the warm waffle.
Haagen Dazs Cafe at ION
Now that Jones the Grocer has closed operations at ION (another victim of our saturated F&B market), we head to Haagen Dazs instead. Around the same location at level 4. I don’t like the coffee so opt for some other … Continue reading
Goreng Pisang at Airport Road Hawker Centre
It’s usually very good. I like the batter and the sweet like honey bananas. Only one day when I bought it at lunch time instead of dinner time, the banana wasn’t so ripe and sweet. The one pictured here was … Continue reading

Fresh Crumpets at Arbite
After having fresh crumpets in Melbourne I have been seeking them in Singapore and finally found them served with poached eggs at Arbite. Hope they do a sweet offering with fresh cream and jam soon.
Tasty Akamaru Ramen at Ippudo (Shaw Centre)
The new branch of Ippudo at Shaw Centre is difficult to get to. You might get a bit lost like we did. But it was worth it. The ramen and the broth satisfied us very much. And we got a … Continue reading

Peranakan Meal at Pow Sing
You can’t go too wrong with a meal at Pow Sing. The sambal chilli is really good and extremely spicy. They open as early as 5pm for dinner. We try to go before 6pm in order to get a parking … Continue reading

Thosai at Komala Vilas
Always tasty and generous portions at the original Komala Vilas at Serangoon Road. Only thing is after the meal you tend to feel quite bloated. I still love the taste here and it’s been in operation since 1947. I guess … Continue reading

MTR: South Indian Vegetarian Place from Bangalore, in Singapore
Have been wanting to try out this new chain from Bangalore that uses only pure ghee and no reused oil. MTR actually stands for Mavalli Tiffin Room and it’s been in operation since 1924. I noticed that food presentation was … Continue reading

Chuan Kee Satay
For a change it’s nice to have Chinese Style Chicken and Pork Satay with the pineapple peanut gravy. I usually don’t go for Pork but it was good and I see why this stall at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre … Continue reading

Tony Romas (Orchard Central)
Good meal starting off with really fresh chewy bread and an aromatic garlic butter. The ribs here are always good and the root beet float was fantastic (after not having one for ages). I was not really feeling the spinach … Continue reading

Nana’s at Golden Mile Complex
Thai lunch at Nanas. Not as good as what I recalled from the last time when the green curry arrived in a claypot. Also the cook seems to be a Singaporean? I guess I’m biased, hoping for a Thai chef? … Continue reading
