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 that just so happened to fall on the final night that we were allowed to dine out, before the enhanced COVID restrictions kicked in.Continue reading “Alati: One of the two best Greek restaurants in Singapore”

Angus: A Japanese take on steak, done well
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 more than a decade. Exact same spot, same self-playing piano, same smiling faces that comprise its staff, same familiar dishes on the menu. ThisContinue reading “Angus: A Japanese take on steak, done well”
Waa Cow: Show-stopping donburis worth the wait and price tag
After resisting raw and seared salmon for 10 whole months, I am definitely making up for lost time post-delivery. Also, being back at work and in the office means lunch is one of the highlights to my weekday. Today I decided to indulge in a $19.90 (Singapore dollars that is) rice bowl, topped with blowtorchedContinue reading “Waa Cow: Show-stopping donburis worth the wait and price tag”
Kafe Utu: Mouthwatering African food amidst a cool and cosy setting
As the goat curry was memorably spectacular the last time I dined at Kafe Utu, I was a bit disappointed and annoyed that my date for the evening – my husband and father of our two children – did not order that. (Shout out here to anyone who prefers that their partners do the orderingContinue reading “Kafe Utu: Mouthwatering African food amidst a cool and cosy setting”
Level 33: Pricey food with an unbeatably spectacular view
Champagne beer. My husband recommended this but I wasn’t blown away. Just not a beer lover so I’ll stick to wine next time This is one of those perfect client lunch places, but I decided to take my mum in law there on her penultimate day in Singapore for some hardcore photo-taking. It’s on theContinue reading “Level 33: Pricey food with an unbeatably spectacular view”
Humpback: Incredible seafood at sundown
I wasn’t sure about this place at first. They made us put down a deposit of SG$25 to secure our booking for 5.30pm on a Friday, and then followed up on no fewer than three separate occasions to get further confirmation of our reservation. And even when I entered the place it immediately struck meContinue reading “Humpback: Incredible seafood at sundown”
Red Ring Treasures: A gem find in the heart of Singapore’s shopping district
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 the deep fried enoki and shitaki mushrooms juxtaposed with the springy yet smooth noodles makes this dish a real delight. The accompanying delicate beancurdContinue reading “Red Ring Treasures: A gem find in the heart of Singapore’s shopping district”
Wooloomooloo: Hitting the bull’s eye with its steak and accompaniments
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, energetic, well lit (mostly natural light coming from the Padang; and you can’t beat a view like that!). But it executes the steakhouseContinue reading “Wooloomooloo: Hitting the bull’s eye with its steak and accompaniments”
Miznon: Punchy pitas for the returning CBD lunch crowd
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 time I resisted and went boldly for the candy beef brisket. It’s got a bite to it (in a good way) with the rightContinue reading “Miznon: Punchy pitas for the returning CBD lunch crowd”
All I want is sashimi, and a lot of it please
So many splendid variations of fish presented in a single bento box! And the best part? It didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. This is probably going to be my new favourite (read: soon to be frequently patronised) post-barre-burn-so-let’s-indulge-in-lunch place. Enough said. https://www.marukyu.asia/
