Heavy Meal at Tanglin Mall

Posted on January 6, 2013 by bookjunkie

Had to come back to Chili’s for the tangy pulled pork burgers, but we should not have ordered ribs as well. Yummy, but just way too much food. I must say it was our first time choosing mashed potatoes as … Continue reading →

Lovely Churros, Poor Service

Posted on December 20, 2012 by bookjunkie

Who can resist churros. It’s one of my favourite desserts. The Churros and the raspberry plus chocolate dips (opted for milk and dark chocolate) at Max Brenner were lovely but I hesitate to return to the VivoCity branch as the … Continue reading →

Ignored at PS Cafe (Dempsey)

Posted on December 12, 2012 by bookjunkie

It’s a pity as the ambience is so lovely. It seems like the wait staff were not making eye contact on purpose. It was so obvious. The people in the table next to us resorted to practically doing the wave … Continue reading →

Stuff that Irritated Me

Posted on November 22, 2012 by bookjunkie

Not Miss Sunshine today. (not that I really am although I don’t get annoyed that easily) Was in a complaining sort of mood. You can read about what bugged me, here. Wonder if you have experienced the same.

Hyatt High Tea

Posted on November 15, 2012 by bookjunkie

It has been a long time since we’ve had high tea at Hyatt. I have fond memories of high tea with my Aunty S as the waterfall rushed down in their old cosy lounge. It’s now called 10 Scotts Lounge … Continue reading →

A Second Visit to Verandah for Lunch

Posted on August 20, 2012 by bookjunkie

I think the wait staff standing around is a waste. They should do table service and then I would like the place a whole lot more. Considering what they charge for upscale, but not as good hawker food, they really … Continue reading →

Saboten at Changi Airport T1: Unimpressed by Meal & Sloppy Service

Posted on August 17, 2012 by bookjunkie

Won’t be coming here again. Not the worst food experience of course, but considering the price, not impressed. Out of the three people on duty, one was ok and more polite than the others. I am always reluctant to talk … Continue reading →

Paul: Better Service this Time & Lovely Creme Brulee

Posted on August 16, 2012 by bookjunkie

Made a second visit to the French Bakery Cafe, Paul, at Ngee Ann City. This time with my cousin. I told her that service here was snooty and bad the last time.  This time however there seemed to be overcompensation … Continue reading →

Gardens by the Bay: Verandah

Posted on July 9, 2012 by bookjunkie

Ok I think this will be my last post about the new attraction (unless I visit again), and this time about our lunch at Verandah. The tastefully decorated bistro serves Asian cuisine and is very near the entrance of Gardens. … Continue reading →

Back to Wild Honey at Scotts Square for Bacon & Pancakes (& A Bit Miffed about the Service at the End)

Posted on June 9, 2012 by bookjunkie

My second visit to Wild Honey at Scotts Square, and boring me had pancakes and bacon again. I wish I could have ordered scrambled eggs and a brioche as a side order. You can order bacon as a side though. … Continue reading →

Nagging Task: Backing Up My Photos on a Hard Drive

Posted on July 29, 2011 by bookjunkie

Trying to force myself to spend some time to back up my photos. It’s one of those mind numbingly boring tasks you just know you need to do, but keep pushing aside. I always manage to find something more compelling … Continue reading →

My Very Own Unforgettable Nando’s Experience (Bugis Junction)

Posted on June 20, 2011 by bookjunkie

After the controversy surrounding this place with the Joanne Peh hot water incident, I wanted to try out this place to see what the service is like for myself. They do still charge for the water, which kinda sucks, but … Continue reading →

Bakerzin at My Village

Posted on February 23, 2011 by bookjunkie

The service at Bakerzin was impeccable. The female manager was very warm and welcoming.  It’s always nice to see professionalism and pride in service.  It was what stood out and made me want to return. Besides that, the food was … Continue reading →

Osaka Town at Raffles City (Okos)

Posted on January 29, 2011 by bookjunkie

I was disappointed by the meal at Raffles City too.  Maybe now that I have tasted really high quality Japanese food, I just can’t go back. (A bit like how Italy ruined Italian food for blogger and world traveller, Hart) … Continue reading →

Rum & Raisin Ice Cream on a Waffle

Posted on December 11, 2010 by bookjunkie

The waiter who served us at Haagen Dazs at the Esplanade was so polite and professional. The 1 scoop of ice cream on a waffle was expensive though at S$10 but you do get great service and your glass of … Continue reading →

SilkAir: Great Food, Rude Service

Posted on August 17, 2010 by bookjunkie

The meals on SilkAir were surprisingly good, especially the Chicken Briyani on the flight back from Cochin. It looks bad, but tasted good. The white vermicelli payasam dessert (made with milk and ghee) was great and not too sweet either. … Continue reading →
