The name is noodles. Fried noodles.

The food here is easily 2 star worthy, at the very least, but it is the inviting way that one is attended to here that makes this gorgeous find of a restaurantContinue reading “Le Jardinier: Deserving of more than 1 Michelin star”

In this post, I deviate from my usual content on this blog, which as you may have guessed is food-related, to a couple of musings and realisations I discovered unexpectedly whilst havingContinue reading “Reflections on my first overseas trip since the C word”

We were going to chance a walk-in to Murano but discovered halfway through our stroll that it was closed today which was a bank holiday. This serendipitous turn of events led usContinue reading “Misto: Home made pasta with flair”

As a relatively new fan of spinning, I signed up for a class with Soul Cycle, where it all started. Having been to Sticks ‘n’ Sushi before, I decided to revisit it,Continue reading “Sticks n Sushi: the perfect post-Soul Cycle treat”

The best dishes were unexpected, like the underdogs in a sporting match for whom you end up cheering enthusiastically. You are floored by how such simple ingredients – garlic, tomato, ginger, anContinue reading “Cannons Tandoori: a thoroughly satisfying Boxing Day dinner”

After two unsuccessful attempts at hunting down that highly acclaimed Four Seasons roast duck, we managed to secure a table at Wanchai Corner and boy, were we in for a lovely surprise.Continue reading “Wan Chai Corner: hidden Chinatown gem”

We don’t get much “proper” Jewish food in Singapore, so this felt like a rather exciting experience. The deli wasn’t anything fancy. The utensils were simple, the menu straightforward and no-nonsense. YetContinue reading “B&K Salt Beef Bar: authentic, traditional kosher fare with the best latkes ever”

I love steak. I know, I know, it’s a travesty to admit these things in this day and age, but there is something so sinfully irresistible about a quickly melting slab ofContinue reading “Miller and Carter: when a steakhouse dares to NOT be different”

The ambience is mind-blowing and I liked that there was a fair bit of theatrics incorporated in the dining experience: twirling pineapples on roast, and how the guacamole is prepared at theContinue reading “Amazonico: an Instagrammer’s dream”

One of the most deceptively desirable things about “modern” living is how fast-paced everything is. Don’t get me wrong. There are days I too crave for the McDonald’s filet o fish burger,Continue reading “Want to cook amazing food? Apparently it takes patience. A lot of it.”

So first things first. In my opinion, the other contender for the title of “Best Greek restaurant in Singapore” is Fotia. Now to Alati. It was a friend’s belated birthday celebration thatContinue reading “Alati: One of the two best Greek restaurants in Singapore”

I love it when I drop by an oldie but goodie restaurant like Angus Steak House, only to discover that so little has changed over the years. It’s been around for moreContinue reading “Angus: A Japanese take on steak, done well”

Who knew that roast chicken, breast meat (gasp) included, could be this moist and delicious? It didn’t even need the gravy, so imagine how indulgently sublime it tasted after being drenched inContinue reading “Had the best roast chicken I’ve ever tasted tonight”

I discovered Red Ring Treasures the way some of us would in a hawker or food court in Singapore – by following the longest queue to a stall. The crispiness of theContinue reading “Red Ring Treasures: A gem find in the heart of Singapore’s shopping district”

Wooloomooloo is that sort of trusted old school steakhouse that isn’t going to let you down with some pretentious new age take on steak. Don’t get me wrong- the place is modern,Continue reading “Wooloomooloo: Hitting the bull’s eye with its steak and accompaniments”

Confession time. This wasn’t my first time at Miznon. All three times before though, I played it “safe” by having the chicken liver pita (I heart liver. So to speak). This timeContinue reading “Miznon: Punchy pitas for the returning CBD lunch crowd”
