Samy’s Curry at Dempsey has Been Renovated & We had a Good Lunch There
Went by for lunch. It was packed and there was a queue as we left. This is quite the institution for Singaporean style South Indian curry on a banana leaf. I truly love the cabbage dhal, fish curry and Mysore … Continue reading

Patisserie G at Millenia Walk: Stunning Cakes
I didn’t have any cake but they were stunning to look at. The flat white I had was great, my partner found his latte too ‘heaty’ (acidic?). He can’t take stronger coffee like I can. The Cuban sandwich was nothing … Continue reading

Peranakan Meal at Pow Sing: Satisfying but Expensive
Decided to do a food post for a change. A lunch we had this month as my partner loves Peranakan food and anything that goes with steamed rice. He is not so into bread the way I am. Actually I … Continue reading

I Couldn’t Get Enough of the Special Chilli at Pu Tien (Jewel)
We ended up here because the other two China restaurant chains we tried required reservations or a very long wait. Have been to Pu Tien years before and thought the food was of high quality. Our usual fare is hawker … Continue reading

Afternoon Tea Buffet at Goodwood Park Hotel
I haven’t been here in a decade so the whole place looked quite different. We truly enjoyed the experience though and the sofa seating was cosy. The buffet spread was also not too far away and the server who attended … Continue reading

Salted Caramel Cinnamon Rolls at Dal Komm Cafe Centrepoint

Our Favourite Dim Sum at Crystal Jade Suntec City Branch
