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.

SBCD Tofu House: Seriously addictive spicy tofu soup
Just as in the 60s we had the British Invasion, it really does feel like with the popularity of Korean music, TV, fashion and food, we are in a Korean golden age. I cannot get enough of this tofu soup which is both spicy and salty and complements the smooth silken tofu like a dream.Continue reading “SBCD Tofu House: Seriously addictive spicy tofu soup”
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”
Sticks n Sushi: the perfect post-Soul Cycle treat
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, this time at the Soho branch. Loved the menu, ambience, and the service (matcha whisking at the table and hardly any waiting timeContinue reading “Sticks n Sushi: the perfect post-Soul Cycle treat”
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. A meal here will warm your stomachs, and your hearts. Go withContinue reading “Cannons Tandoori: a thoroughly satisfying Boxing Day dinner”
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”
