Perth Trip Day 2: Amazing View at the Pullman Bunker Bay Resort Buffet Breakfast
You can’t see it here, but the skies were clear and sun was blinding. I’m not used to this as humidity in Singapore is high and there is always some cloud cover. And it was pretty crowded so I couldn’t … Continue reading

Our Favourite Dim Sum at Crystal Jade Suntec City Branch
This was truly satisfying after a disappointing experience at Canton Paradise. I feel that the Paradise group does a superior La Mian or handmade noodles and spicy vinegrette dumplings, but for Cantonese food, especially Dim Sum, Crystal Jade can’t be … Continue reading

Dian Xiao Er at VivoCity
Pretty good meal as we haven’t had roast herbal duck in a while. The chilli always makes any meal better and I had 2 types so was very happy.

Marmalade Pantry at ION
Breaking up my posting on the Perth Trip to post some Singapore food adventures. Been craving for these cupcakes but felt underwhelmed this time. I’m not sure why. Perhaps due to some troubling news regarding my cathaport. Don’t care for … Continue reading

Lovely to See My Cousin After More than 2 Years
We met for a buffet at The Straits Kitchen Hyatt. The quality of food is good and the service very polite and attentive. One of the staff, Huri, took the effort to redo the teh halia (ginger tea) for my … Continue reading

Tried the Dark Meat Hot Chicken Burger at Shake Shack
Been bombarded by images of this on food blogs, so their social media campaign worked even though I only go for breast meat usually. Seeing the pinkish hue of the meat after I took a bite put me off. Also … Continue reading

Joined a Long Queue
Seeing the queue get longer I was enticed thinking this must be the best wanton noodles ever. It’s a Singapore thing as often it’s true. The owners were young and friendly but it couldn’t compare to my favourite Kok Kee … Continue reading

Gastronomia Da Paolo: Favourite Items on the Menu
We keep returning to the same places mainly due to the draw of coffee the way we like it, and great service. Plus we’re not charged for water.

Singapore Food: Makanan Bollywood
I didn’t know this place existed till my relative from Perth recommended it. At the time they were located at Peninsular Plaza but have since moved to Funan. Higher prices but better ambience. The mutton briyani here is famous, but … Continue reading

Another Day, Another Chicken Burger
Sad that this won’t be permanently on the menu. Doesn’t it look so enticing? Had this at a very tiny outlet at 18 Tai Seng, manned by just one girl. Don’t know how she manages, but she does a good … Continue reading

Muratama After a Long Time
I requested for the chicken balls instead of the pork. Not much taste but good with the chilli. The broth made you feel very full. B remarked that’s it’s probably full of collagen. That’s great because I’ve been hearing so … Continue reading

New Snack: Strawberry Chocolate Coated Strawberry from Muji
This looked very enticing and it tasted refreshing. I do love the freeze dried strawberry within, making this a healthier snack, am I right?

Shake Shack: Chicken Burger & Chicken Bites
Honestly came here because for some reason Gastronomia Da Paolo was full and so were many other places like Burger King, and B said there was a long queue just to enter the Food Court. The school holidays are over … Continue reading

My Fave Japanese Stores in Singapore #3 : Don Don Donki
A picture heavy post. This store is so enticing and attractive, although it’s more on the expensive side compared to Daiso of course. The fruit is like eye candy and the fresh scent of apples today. Just wow. Feast for … Continue reading

Where We Used Our CDC Vouchers #12: Yakader Dum Briyani at Tekka
Been coming here for years and raving about it to relatives. Miss this a lot during the lockdown period. Back then this stall was not as famous as Allahuddin. When we first tried the Yakader chicken dum briyani, the chicken … Continue reading

Lunch Buffet at Swissotel: Ellenborough Market Cafe
We love hotel buffets, but we only go on special occasions. This buffet lasted from 12 noon to 2.30 pm. Everything came in really tiny portions, but the quality was good. Especially liked the buckwheat noodles, mac and cheese, spicy … Continue reading

Northshore Plaza: We like this new mall at Punggol
In Singapore malls are needed to escape the intense heat. And it’s nice to find a new place to hang out, that’s not too crowded. I think it’s because it doesn’t have a Uniqlo. I noticed that any mall with … Continue reading

My Fave Japanese Stores in Singapore: #2. MOS Burger
Recently it seems to have revamped its offerings and the burgers seem to be fresher. I somehow don’t feel so bloated after eating here compared to say McDonald’s. Perhaps there’s less salt used? Their ice lemon tea is my favourite … Continue reading
