Tambuah Mas: Indonesian Food in Singapore (& A Visit to the Ophthalmologist)
This place has been around for decades, but I haven’t been here since the 90’s. Very delicious at the Paragon branch. My sister treated us after a visit to the ophthalmologist. Eyes were dilated, so everything was blurry. It still … Continue reading

So Sinfully Good
Craving chicken burgers lately and the regular one from Shake Shack is so yummy. I didn’t like their special dark meat one. Generous amount of fresh lettuce and pickles. The bun is so deliciously soft and buttery. Only thing it’s … Continue reading

Chocolate Cake at the Coffeeshop

Best Spot at Jewel: We love the French Toast and the View
Haven’t been to Jewel in ages. When we are here, we keep returning to Fun Toast for the view. It’s also not too atas or expensive.

Tried the Dark Meat Hot Chicken Burger at Shake Shack
Been bombarded by images of this on food blogs, so their social media campaign worked even though I only go for breast meat usually. Seeing the pinkish hue of the meat after I took a bite put me off. Also … Continue reading

Joined a Long Queue
Seeing the queue get longer I was enticed thinking this must be the best wanton noodles ever. It’s a Singapore thing as often it’s true. The owners were young and friendly but it couldn’t compare to my favourite Kok Kee … Continue reading

Singapore Food: Makanan Bollywood

Another Day, Another Chicken Burger
Sad that this won’t be permanently on the menu. Doesn’t it look so enticing? Had this at a very tiny outlet at 18 Tai Seng, manned by just one girl. Don’t know how she manages, but she does a good … Continue reading

Muratama After a Long Time
I requested for the chicken balls instead of the pork. Not much taste but good with the chilli. The broth made you feel very full. B remarked that’s it’s probably full of collagen. That’s great because I’ve been hearing so … Continue reading

Best Spicy Handmade Noodles
Whenever we get a craving for handmade noodles, Lenu has the consistency that doesn’t disappoint. They didn’t charge for hot water which is great. I like the water almost boiling hot, cos it cools down very fast with the air … Continue reading
