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”
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/
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
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”
Hospital food: actually… gasp, appetising?
I know, I know. What has become of this blog that I’m actually writing about hospital meals?! (It was just about bearable reading it… and now…) Unfortunately, in a very nasty turn of events last week, I fell severely ill and had to be rushed to A&E, admitted to intensive care right away and thenContinue reading “Hospital food: actually… gasp, appetising?”
Had the best roast chicken I’ve ever tasted tonight
Who knew that roast chicken, breast meat (gasp) included, could be this moist and delicious? 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”
