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 restaurant that much more compelling, even by New York standards.

FOC Sentosa: Exquisite tapas by the beach
Not to be overly dramatic about it, but one of the best things about summer all year round is how you can spend every other weekend getting toasty by the beach at Sentosa. Like it’s cousin, Tanjong Beach Club, FOC has a steady crowd over most weekends so booking is recommended if not essential particularlyContinue reading “FOC Sentosa: Exquisite tapas by the beach”
Good Old Taste, The Arcade: A sinfully satisfying Singaporean breakfast
I know what you’re thinking. What is that, and how on earth is this breakfast? Well, my friend, that is a rice noodle fried beautifully in pork lard (a generous portion of it), a perfect sunny side up egg, a luncheon meat slice, and a solidly delicious kicka** chili. Yes it’s a heart attack inContinue reading “Good Old Taste, The Arcade: A sinfully satisfying Singaporean breakfast”
Misto: Home made pasta with flair
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 us to Misto, a very charming and cosy Italian restaurant focussing on pastas and a few staple mains. The pastas were incredible. Succulent ingredientsContinue reading “Misto: Home made pasta with flair”
Wan Chai Corner: hidden Chinatown gem
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. This restaurant is no frills, but serves a wide array of dishes (just 263 of them) that a even Cantonese person would sayContinue reading “Wan Chai Corner: hidden Chinatown gem”
B&K Salt Beef Bar: authentic, traditional kosher fare with the best latkes ever
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. Yet the food was solidly beautiful. From the salt beef rye sandwich with the right tinge of mustard, to the lovely balance of gherkinsContinue reading “B&K Salt Beef Bar: authentic, traditional kosher fare with the best latkes ever”
Miller and Carter: when a steakhouse dares to NOT be different
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 of herb butter on a sizzling ribeye. It’s been such a rough year, and if there is one constant that I can always relyContinue reading “Miller and Carter: when a steakhouse dares to NOT be different”
Amazonico: an Instagrammer’s dream
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 the table. That said, it was on the pricey side and some dishes were definitely more of a hit than others. I’d say thisContinue reading “Amazonico: an Instagrammer’s dream”
The Hare Old Redding: Oh, how I have missed the Gastropub!
We arrived in London a week ago and it has been a wonderfully magical culinary adventure. One of the best things the UK continues to offer to the world is the gastropub. Check out this fish malabar curry with shredded coconut rice, and the coq au vin done so perfectly I ended up scraping theContinue reading “The Hare Old Redding: Oh, how I have missed the Gastropub!”
The Sushi Bar: satisfying indulgence on the first day of resumption
Singapore had been on a heightened alert for a month now, and several months before that, with dining out prohibited. Today we resumed dining out at eateries and restaurants but capped at a maximum of two persons. This was how I decided to rejoice… with sushi of course! https://thesushibar.com.sg/
