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

Nantsuttei has Moved to Orchard Central
Nantsuttei has moved to Orchard Central after closing it’s branch at Millennia Walk (the whole place is being revamped). There are other interesting dining options at the higher levels of the OC that I have yet to check out.

A Very Pink Christmas at Orchard Central
I do like pink so I didn’t mind all that sparkly pink. There was quite an authentic looking Christmas Market set-up here too.

A Seat at Dean & Deluca
It was pretty good, but I still have to say I preferred the cupcake I had at Jones the Grocer recently. Well, at least this time I could get a seat easily at Dean & Deluca. The euphoria has died … Continue reading

A Bit of a Tight Squeeze at Dean & Deluca Cafe
The good news is that the cafe at recently opened Dean & Deluca offers free ice water. It’s self service. Just look out for the pitchers at the counter. I only realized this later and if I had known I … Continue reading

Vintage Cars at Orchard Central
B is a car person, me not so much. Sometimes he talks to me about cars and I drift away. I don’t even like driving so I’m glad he likes it. He does complain about the COE though and commented … Continue reading

Valentine’s Rose Decorations at Orchard Central
Loved the huge pink roses. Pretty. Orchard Road is always prettier at night with all the lots. Here’s a photo taken in the day time.

Orchard Central reminds us Valentine’s Day is coming
It’s extremely commercialized in Singapore but I do love any decor that features pink and roses.
Terrible Crossaint (what was worse – rude customers)
Had the worse crossaint ever at Tully’s at Orchard Central. It looked good, but turned out to be very dry, hard and stale. The only redeeming factor was the chocolate coating. I’ve had better ones here before and I do … Continue reading

Reindeer at Genki Sushi
Loved the Chirstmas decorations, especially the straw reindeer at Genki Sushi located at Orchard Central. It’s my favourite place for inari sushi and don.

Pink Christmas at Orchard Central
From this angle you can see how steep and high the Orchard Central escalator is. Goes up 3 levels. Seems like they are trying to call the place OC. But OC makes me think of that show about teenagers in … Continue reading

Genki Sushi for the Yummiest Sushi Belt Experience
The first clue that the food here is authentic? The place was filled with Japanese patrons. I hardly see any Japanese patrons at the other Singapore chain outlets. The second of course – the taste. The inari sushi here was … Continue reading

My Visit to Cold Stone Creamery (Orchard Central)
This was from way back in late March when Cold Stone Creamery first opened and I was so excited to try an authentic ice cream from the US, but somehow it slipped my mind and it’s taken me months to … Continue reading

Matcha Latte (Tully’s at Orchard Central)
The latest drink I see on the menu these days is Matcha Latte. I must be high in antioxidants as it’s concentrated green tea powder. B loves it and I think it looks pretty although I tend to go for … Continue reading

Genki Sushi (Orchard Central)
I have been craving for the inari sushi I had in Osaka and I was so excited to find that the one I had at Genki Sushi comes very very close. The difference is in the quality of the sweet … Continue reading
Jewels: Chocolates at Orchard Central
We got some chocolates to try from this place called Jewels in Orchard Central. You could have like a dessert buffet here as well, but we just got a box of chocolates to try. Honestly I expected to like the … Continue reading

Vertigo Caused by Tallest ‘Shopping Lady’ at Orchard Central
Trying to take a picture of this tall statue is definitely not for those with vertigo. It goes up about 6 stories. As you can see her red boots alone can dwarf you. Another unique feature at this mall, was … Continue reading
