Tasty Akamaru Ramen at Ippudo (Shaw Centre)

The new branch of Ippudo at Shaw Centre is difficult to get to. You might get a bit lost like we did. But it was worth it. The ramen and the broth satisfied us very much. And we got a … Continue reading

Peranakan Meal at Pow Sing

You can’t go too wrong with a meal at Pow Sing. The sambal chilli is really good and extremely spicy. They open as early as 5pm for dinner. We try to go before 6pm in order to get a parking … Continue reading

Thosai at Komala Vilas

Always tasty and generous portions at the original Komala Vilas at Serangoon Road. Only thing is after the meal you tend to feel quite bloated. I still love the taste here and it’s been in operation since 1947. I guess … Continue reading

Have been wanting to try out this new chain from Bangalore that uses only pure ghee and no reused oil. MTR actually stands for Mavalli Tiffin Room and it’s been in operation since 1924. I noticed that food presentation was … Continue reading

Kay Lee Roast: Original Branch at Paya Lebar, New Owners

Back to the Paya Lebar branch which they saw the original owners oversee. Not as good as I recall before the place got sold, but better than the suntec city branch somehow. Wonder if I’m being biased knowing that the … Continue reading

Chuan Kee Satay

For a change it’s nice to have Chinese Style Chicken and Pork Satay with the pineapple peanut gravy. I usually don’t go for Pork but it was good and I see why this stall at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre … Continue reading

Tony Romas (Orchard Central)

Good meal starting off with really fresh chewy bread and an aromatic garlic butter. The ribs here are always good and the root beet float was fantastic (after not having one for ages).  I was not really feeling the spinach … Continue reading

Aperia Mall seems Rather Dull

Don’t think I want to come here again. Think it’s more for residents living in the attached condo or office workers who work in the area and now have another option for lunch. The only attraction seems to be Tim … Continue reading

Sights at Golden Mile Complex

B got some toothpaste with salt in it that he only seemed to be able to find here. He said that in the old days when there was no toothpaste people brushed their teeth with salt. I was so tempted … Continue reading

Nana’s at Golden Mile Complex

Thai lunch at Nanas. Not as good as what I recalled from the last time when the green curry arrived in a claypot. Also the cook seems to be a Singaporean? I guess I’m biased, hoping for a Thai chef? … Continue reading

Wan Ton Mee: Hua Kee vs Kok Kee

Was craving for Kok Kee wan tan mee which is my favourite now, but since it was closed we headed to Old Airport Road instead. I haven’t tried the stall next to this one recently and the last two times … Continue reading

I am only able to view my WordPress Stats through the free WordPress.com site. Don’t quite know why, but since my last update I can’t seem to access it from my WordPress.org site on a domain bought from Go Daddy. … Continue reading

Fantastic Malay Food at Haig Road Market

If you want fantastic Malay or Halal food and snacks head to Haig Road market. It’s cramped and crowded but the other patrons are very friendly. We ate too much but couldn’t resist having the famous Mee Rebus (which my … Continue reading

Thai Fried Bananas in Singapore

The thai fried banana snack we had from the stall outside the Golden Mile Complex supermarket was heavenly. The ladies here prepare the desserts with a smile. Just 2 dollars for a packet of about 5 pieces. My partner thinks … Continue reading

Pistachio Gelato from Alfero

Been missing the beyond excellent pistachio Gelato we had in Rome (that sounded way too atas, I know) and was waiting for the brand Grom to come to Singapore. It hasn’t so I searched the web for what people in … Continue reading

Thai Coconut Ice Cream

I don’t like coconut ice cream. It always tastes overwhelming and cloying in it’s sweetness, so when my partner ordered this, I was grumbling and said I wouldn’t have any. But one taste and that ice cream was history. It … Continue reading

Cronuts at Green Pumpkin

I didn’t want to try these, but they do make a pretty sight. Think I prefer to either have a donut or a croissant. Not keen on the fusion, but perhaps I shouldn’t knock it before I try it.

Went Healthy with a Wrap from Smoothie King

Tried the BBQ chicken wrap this time. I’ve previously had the spicy chicken and the chicken caesar and would say the Chicken Caesar is the tastiest. Big issue with Smoothie King at Nex is that it is perpetually filled with … Continue reading

Tried Out Pie Face at Nex

Well to be honest I didn’t try the pie, but my partner did. It was a steak pie ($5.20) and he said it was a tad salty, but generally ok. Only downer to him was that we had to sit … Continue reading
