Posted on March 16, 2015 by bookjunkie

Came to Foong Kee Coffeeshop at Keong Saik Road for wan tan mee, but we were more impressed by the well roasted Char Siew as some other blogs have mentioned. I especially liked the crispy almost burnt or charred sweet … Continue reading →

Artisan Boulangerie Co. (ABC) at Katong 112

Posted on March 9, 2015 by bookjunkie

Somehow prefer the branch at Vivocity, the pastries seemed fresher there and it was not as crowded. The coffee looks good but I find it a tad bitter.  They do baguette sandwiches best of all and you can’t go wrong … Continue reading →

Gazing at Swimming Fish at Honeymoon Dessert

Posted on March 8, 2015 by bookjunkie

Wanted to have a cupcake at Gastronomia Da Paolo but there were no seats available. So we ended up at Honeymoon Dessert where the service was lovely. It’s nice to be in a relatively empty space when you’re in always … Continue reading →

Bad Meal: Rude Service & Disappointingly Bland Laksa

Posted on March 8, 2015 by bookjunkie

After a spate of good meals we had a bad lunch today.   Walked in the blazing heat and was not sure where to go and ended up at 328 Katong Laksa. Spotted a long queue inside the cramped tiny … Continue reading →

My Favourite Prata: Sin Ming Roti Prata

Posted on March 7, 2015 by bookjunkie

This is definitely my favourite kosong prata (plain prata) – fluffy on the outside and with a dense chewiness on the inside. Tried it twice now, but the first time I was so greedy, I forgot to take photos. I … Continue reading →

Haron Satay: Tasty But A Teeny Bit Too Sweet

Posted on March 6, 2015 by bookjunkie

A pleasant night at East Coast Lagoon Food Village (hawker centre) which we headed to fix our satay craving. Only downer is touting here (stall owners swarming and calling out to you) as it’s a tourist attraction I guess. Haron … Continue reading →

Paradise Dynasty at ION

Posted on March 4, 2015 by bookjunkie

I continue with my Sichuan handmade noodle (dan dan mian) obsession. The xiao long bao here is good too and I think the ION branch as the best ambience. They gave us a huge booth seat.

Best Chilli Crab at Ban Leong Wah Hoe Seafood

Posted on March 4, 2015 by bookjunkie

Recently I had the best chilli crab (so good to dip the fried buns in the sauce). I am not a big fan of seafood but this meal really blew me away. Most chilli crab these days are too sweet … Continue reading →

Princess Appam at Changi Airport Terminal 3

Posted on March 4, 2015 by bookjunkie

I had never heard of princess appam before. An obvious Singapore invention. My sister decided to try it – it’s actually melted cheese, butter and egg on top of the appam. I preferred the plain one (you can request for … Continue reading →

Marshmallow spread in a Jar

Posted on March 4, 2015 by bookjunkie

Looks tempting and the first time I’m seeing a product like this – spotted it at Candy Empire (Kallang Wave). Probably to make smokes at a campfire. Something I’ve never done or tired. The only thing I have done is … Continue reading →

Posted on March 3, 2015 by bookjunkie

I’ve been meaning to try the plain prata at Crane Road (East of Singapore). But being greedy as I am I ordered the egg one as well. The verdict is, the next time I come here it will be all … Continue reading →

An Old Favourite: Yakader Briyani at Tekka Market

Posted on March 3, 2015 by bookjunkie

Somehow the chicken is not as soft as I recall and the curry not as tasty but it’s still one my favourite in Singapore. The ginger milk tea (Teh Alia) at the nearby stall is really good too with a … Continue reading →

Blueberry White Tea

Posted on March 3, 2015 by bookjunkie

A new blueberry white tea drink ($3.70 – 140 calories) at Cedele (City Square Mall) that’s not too sweet and just a hint of blueberry flavour, but I prefer to go with Perrier ($3 – zero calories) and completely cut … Continue reading →

My Village: Little Wimbly Lu

Posted on February 16, 2015 by bookjunkie

Not much space to sit here and wish they took up 2 units instead (but yes it wouldn’t be called little then). The iced earl grey tea was refreshing but B found the green tea latte too sweet. Lovely decor … Continue reading →

My Village: Duke Bakery

Posted on February 16, 2015 by bookjunkie

Duke Bakery has opened a branch at My Village. The breads here are tasty but expensive. Not as good as Maison Kayser in terms of moist chewiness but better than most other similar type bread shops.

Warung M Nasir: Nasi Padang at Killiney Road

Posted on February 16, 2015 by bookjunkie

Haven’t had Nasi Padang in a while, but I didn’t find the meal here as tasty as I recall from back in 2011. Perhaps I should have added an assam fish as well. Love mixing the different gravies – the more the … Continue reading →

My Favourite Meal in Singapore Costs 7 Dollars

Posted on February 15, 2015 by bookjunkie

Haven’t had my favourite meal in such a long time because it’s always pretty impossible to get parking at Alexandra Village Hawker Centre. Nothing beats clay pot laksa (former Depot Road Laska) and Avacado Juice (more like milkshake). The laksa … Continue reading →
