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”

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!”

Alati: One of the two best Greek restaurants in Singapore

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

It didn’t even need the gravy, so imagine how indulgently sublime it tasted after being drenched in that slow cooked chicken stock and vegetable sauce. The red onion was caramelised to perfection, and the potatoes- ah, those red potatoes fromContinue reading “Had the best roast chicken I’ve ever tasted tonight”

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”

Al Forno. Homecooked Italian, only better

For all his faults, my husband is a genius, an expert, when it comes to ordering food. It was truly one of those traits that made me fall instantly for him. After all, and as I often say, food is my language of love. So tonight he decided to order delivery from an Italian restaurantContinue reading “Al Forno. Homecooked Italian, only better”
