I first noticed this cafe when I walked past Big Hotel on Middle Road. Covering most of the basement floor, next to a reduced-size hotel lobby, the spacious Froth with its white walls and warm lighting looked like a cosy place to hang out. Pleased about discovering a new place around the studio to eat at, I proceeded to look it up online for some … Continue reading Froth Cafe | New Cafe at Middle Road Underwhelming
*This was an invited food tasting session. The narrow lanes of Club Street and Ann Siang have long housed charming little bars, eateries and shops offering quaint curated goods and services. A little over a year ago, My Little Tapas Bar (MLTB), with its authentic Spanish tapas and cocktails concept, joined their folds. Part of the My Little Spanish Place group, with the opening of the new Boat Quay … Continue reading My Little Tapas Bar, Club Street X The Entertainer
Lobster + mayonnaise. What’s there not to love about that combination? So when I heard there was a new (okay by now, not so new) place in town selling delicious toasted buttery rolls stuffed with the meat of a whole lobster, I was sold on the idea. Thankfully, so was Z, and to celebrate our 2nd year together, we visited Pince & Pints on a Monday … Continue reading Pince & Pints, Duxton Road
One Sunday afternoon in June last year, Z decided on the spur of the moment that we should go for a nice afternoon tea. And so I tried to book a spot at Tea Lounge (Regent) and Brasserie Les Saveurs (St Regis), but was unsuccessful. Searched around online and ended up with 10 Scotts at Grand Hyatt Singapore, since reviews seemed positive and they had seats available. And … Continue reading 10 Scotts, Grand Hyatt Singapore
I’ve only been to Greece once, and the visit was brief. A little jaunt to Athens for a salsa festival, with some lovely meals at little restaurants around where we were – namely, the Olympic stadium and the Acropolis. But I did remember having some very nice battered fried cheese and fresh tasting salads. And Blu Kouzina, the first full Greek restaurant in Singapore, authentically … Continue reading [Moved] Blu Kouzina, Bukit Timah
Smoke Shack is a place I used to frequent when I worked in the Shenton Way/Raffles Place area about 3 years back, but still think of fondly from time to time. As I was browsing old photos, I came across a picture of The Montevideo (Chivitos) sandwich that was my favourite at that time – and knew that I just had to share about it … Continue reading Smoke Shack, Raffles Place
Recently, it seemed to me like Majestic Bay Seafood Restaurant has been quite industrious at organising food tasting sessions, as I kept seeing tantalising pictures of interesting dishes on my Instagram by popular bloggers and other key opinion leaders. I must say this was quite successful at having made me curious about the restaurant and keen to try it out. Located below the Flower Dome, Majestic Bay Seafood … Continue reading Majestic Bay Seafood Restaurant, Gardens by the Bay
Hello everyone, Merry (third day of) Christmas! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas this year. I had a pretty good one – in fact, I enjoyed the simple, yummy lunch I had on Christmas Day itself so much that I decided to churn out a quick post about it. Headed to Omakase (Japanese for “Chef’s choice” or “let the chef decide”) Burger on Tuesday with the boyfriend after hearing good things … Continue reading Omakase Burger, Turf City
A nice quiet restaurant with a Michelin star in a small town in the Rhone-Alps region of France, Le Belvédère is truly a gem – fabulous food at reasonable prices, a cosy ambience perfect for a romantic date or just a nice, long dinner with friends, and with impeccable service. Fantastic view, too. Possibly the best restaurant I have ever been to. And also in … Continue reading Le Belvédère, Annecy
A charming little restaurant ensconced in the back streets of an equally charming city, it serves up daily specials of the freshest seafood to tantalize your palates. Some friends who had gone on exchange the previous cycle recommended this place, and we decided to try it due to the raving reviews. The seafood really was great, but I’m not so sure if it was worth … Continue reading Corte Sconta, Venice
