Genki Sushi for the Yummiest Sushi Belt Experience
The first clue that the food here is authentic? The place was filled with Japanese patrons. I hardly see any Japanese patrons at the other Singapore chain outlets. The second of course – the taste. The inari sushi here was … Continue reading

A Walk through Wheelock Place to Swanky ION
Now that we can’t walk through Borders, we go through the first level instead and always come across the toy store. An adorable huge kewpie doll was displayed in the window. Then on to ION. Being super lazy, I appreciate … Continue reading

City Square Mall: Toast Box

Books Actually

Could almost sniff the enticing aroma of 40 Hands coffee on so many blog sites, and hope to try it one day when the tiny shop in Tiong Bahru is a little less crowded. Somehow I am not into take-away … Continue reading

Jerry’s BBQ and Grill (Club Street)
There is a searing review of Jerry’s BBQ and Grill at Singapore Uncensored. I found the place clean and not that bad, but I must agree that when we first entered the place we were faced with rudeness and told … Continue reading

Shots – a Cafe on Ann Siang Hill
I previously thought the barista at this place were a tad glum and snooty but this time there were new baristas and they were so nice. I really do appreciate humble, down to earth people – they don’t get enough … Continue reading

Thosai at Komala Vilas
I don’t know if Komala Vilas has the best thosai, but I always tend to come back to the original branch located on the main road. It was established in Singapore way back in 1947 and is still going strong. … Continue reading

Little India: The Jungle Tandoor
There’s an interesting new theme restaurant in Little India, but I am not tempted to try it. I am suspicious of new fangled stores with gimicks. They may be fun for kids, but I wonder about the quality of the … Continue reading
