Finally Tried Macarons from Laduree Singapore

Finally tried Laduree. Just didn’t feel right though, to have it in a takeaway bag. Definitely spoils the experience. I would skip the chocolate next time and definitely go for the rose again. The orange blossom was lovely and fragrant … Continue reading

Drink & Dessert Set at Paul (& My Patient Cousin)

After being disappointed by the closed queue at Laduree we still had macarons on our mind. So we both opted for the S$12.90 set at Paul which included macarons. Alas, they were just sweet and not great. The cream brulee … Continue reading

Haven’t Tried Laduree Yet as the Queue was Closed (& A Tea Salon Might Come After All)

We were dismayed that there was no dining in concept, just take away. That totally zaps the fun out of it. (5 May: just learnt that Laduree will open a tea room perhaps in a year or two but I … Continue reading

We had to check out the yearly Bazaar just outside Takashimaya where I saw people milling around to try samples. Hard to even walk in here but you sure can feel the pre Chinese New Year excitement. What I also … Continue reading

Takashimaya Food Basement

I find the Food Basement at Takashimaya so interesting. Can’t compare to what there is in Japan but it’s still pretty amazing. There is always something new to see and this time we stumbled upon a Hokkaido food fair with … Continue reading

Takashimaya: Pique Nique (Generously Sized Waffles)

I have passed by Pique Nique a number of times but never tried it before. Well I finally did. Sauntered towards this little cafe on a whim as everywhere else was too crowded. I didn’t find the seating too comfortable, … Continue reading

Takashimaya Food Hall: Snacks like Chicken Pao

These giant chicken paos were so yummy. Treats like tea, chocolate, biscuits, and even super expensive japanese prawn crackers can all be found at the food hall. Mostly gourmet stuff that cost quite a bit. Even if you don’t buy … Continue reading

Takashimaya Food Hall: Best Udon at Tsuru-koshi

I like that there’s a mini bowl of Udon at Tsuru-koshi, for just S$4. The regular sized one with an egg that looks so good huh?

TWG Tea Salon at Takashimaya

TWG opened a new branch at Takashimaya. I think Royal Copenhagen used to be in this spot. The Indian owners of TWG must be doing really well and it’s no wonder as I’m sure their profit margins are very high. … Continue reading

Bacon & Scrambled Eggs at Cedele

Was craving for bacon, so opted for one of the breakfast items (served all day) at Cedele (Takashimaya/ Ngee Ann City). It was pretty quiet and I liked that you can be sort of left alone. Prices are higher than … Continue reading

Paul: The French Cafe at Ngee Ann City (Takashimaya)

Wanted to try this new Parisian Cafe (or French Bakery Restaurant) that’s come to Singapore. Been reading so much about it on all the Singapore food blogs. My conclusion is the wait staff could smile more and be more polite, … Continue reading

Treats at Takashimaya’s Basement Food Hall

I saw many new Japanese eateries and beautifully packaged and tempting gourmet treats. Was most tempted by the TWG store where my favourite tea ‘Tea Party’ was being sold. So glad my cousin picked this tea when we had high … Continue reading

Chinese New Year 2012: Takashimaya & Ngee Ann City

This little pink dancing lion was just the sweetest thing. Kids can stage their own lion dance performance a bit like the puppeteer show in ‘The Sound of Music’. And very expensive gold plated dragons. I think the price tag … Continue reading

Takashimaya’s Teddy Bear Christmas

The Teddy Bear Christmas Tree is one of my favourites this year for being so unique and cute.  This was at Ngee Ann City but the Takashimaya portion (street level where they sell cosmetics and umbrellas). So many kiddos with cute … Continue reading

Takashimaya Food Basement

Haven’t been here in a while. It’s a nice place to get a taste of Japan.   The carrot, chicken and cranberry sandwich here is so good and healthy too. I loved the lemon bun as well.       … Continue reading

Modern Twist on Placemats

According to the Modern Twist website, you can actually get these cool placements at Takashimaya in Singapore. They cost a whopping US$18 each. I think maybe I’d better stick to the pretty ones at Ikea which cost about a fraction … Continue reading

Omu Rice at Takashimaya

This was something different for me to try, and I found it quite nice actually. The stall was at the Takashimaya basement foodcourt. Omu Rice is a Japanese style tomato rice cooked with mushrooms and neatly covered in a fluffy … Continue reading
