My Little Spanish Place
My Little Spanish Place has the nicest ambience, but to be completely honest, I found the paella at Serenity at VivoCity slightly tastier and the churros at the tapas place at Chijmes also a tad better. To be fair though, … Continue reading

Squid at Jules & Crepe at Wimbly Lu
Absolutely love the shoe string fries here. The squid that was stir fried in garlic and olive oil was so good. Better and healthier than calamari. I was surprised how good it tasted. I also love the Chicken Parmigiani and … Continue reading

Wimbly Lu at Jalan Riang – Gem of a Cafe decorated for Halloween
Wimbly Lu. Sounds like a character from a Roald Dahl book, but it’s actually a combination of the owners’ names. Yet another gem of a place, recently discovered, all because of my favourite 2 dollar local magazine, 8 Days. It’s … Continue reading
