Sentosa: Joel Robuchon
Don’t think I’ll ever get to have a meal here. Looks super expensive but I’m sure it’s quite a thrilling experience? Anyone tried it yet? The fake Thinker sculpture. Or should I say replica? More art on our way back … Continue reading

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

Open Door Policy at 19 Yong Siak Street
When I first heard the name Open Door Policy my first thought was – it was too hot for Al Fresco. But no, it was refreshingly cool when we entered the restaurant and no doors left open, thank goodness. There … Continue reading

PS Cafe at Ann Siang Hill: the one where kids are not allowed
I expected PS Cafe at Ash Park, to turn us away after the reviews I read online about how they turned away people wearing Birkin slippers. We decided to try our luck and were mentally prepared for rejection and disdain. … Continue reading

Itacho Sushi x Jika Udon at JCube
Had lunch at Itacho. It’s a bit confusing as it seems to be two brands in one? The restaurant at JCube seems to be the only branch that has this dual concept. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. … Continue reading

Buono: Italian Restaurant where I had the Best Salad Ever
Buono has a real Italian owner. I assume he was the owner because he entered the restaurant and greeted everyone warmly. I figured he must be Salvatore Buono. The restaurant’s decor is unique with playing cards stuck to the ceiling. … Continue reading

112 Katong Mall: Food, Yummy Spicy Noodles at Xiao La Jiao & CNY Decorations
I still like Liang Court best, but this little mall is beginning to become a close second. Especially when it comes to food other than Japanese food, where the best is still found at Liang Court in my opinion. Had … Continue reading

The Moluccas Room at Marina Bay Sands: Indonesian Fusion Food

Freshness Burger at The Central Mall
A nice place to relax when Starbucks is bursting at the seams. I actually prefer this place to Starbucks – it’s emptier and cosier. I hope they still remain in business though, as the one at Nex has closed, probably … Continue reading
