Chocolate Cake at the Coffeeshop

Rich and moist chocolate cake that tastes like it’s been steamed rather than baked. A great dessert after Kok Kee Wanton Mee. It’s rare to find this at a coffeeshop that sells hawker food. Only $3.50 at one of the … Continue reading

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

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
