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”

Cannons Tandoori: a thoroughly satisfying Boxing Day dinner
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, an exquisite blend of spices – can taste so harmoniously gorgeous together.

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”
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”
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”
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/
