As a gourmand, I am always hungry to try new eateries and food. While the restaurants or cuisine may not be exactly au courant to the rest of the foodie community (non-bloggers inclusive), they still seem ‘modernistic’ to me as I am not up-to-date with our local makan scene.

With so much going on in my children’s working lives, it is hard to have lunch together as a family. I was secretly hoping to entice them for a Sunday brunch since forever and finally we did have one just this past Sunday. My post on Dolcetto by Basilico and subsequent take-aways of their desserts … Continue reading →

Unless you are very protective and guarded of your privacy, social media has found a way to widely promote whatever you’ve done and posted. For example, I saw Andrew’s posting on Curried Crab, found out what James ate last week and even where he had his meal. I commented on his Taiwanese porridge meal at … Continue reading →

Peter, Ming and I went to Sejong Korean Language School Singapore at International Plaza to register ourselves for the next intake of beginner’s class and afterwards, our plan was to go for dinner and perhaps a drink at a karaoke pub. According to Murphy’s Law, “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” Tonight… Anything … Continue reading →

We were supposed to have Szechuan food but Ben said he’s allergic to chilli and spices so we went to Yum Cha Chinatown around the corner where we had Dongbei cuisine the other week. I have eaten at Yum Cha before but it failed to impress me this time round. Was it because I have … Continue reading →

When I was living in Malaysia in 2009, Lok Lok was my favourite supper and still is whenever I visit Kuala Lumpur. There is no particular restaurant that serves Lok Lok simply because they are everywhere. The best Lok Lok you can find in Malaysia are van operated although they do have syndicated suppliers. My … Continue reading →

The reason for this stems from a pun, as the Chinese phrase 年年有魚/餘; (nián nián yǒu yú, or “every year there is fish/leftover”) is … Continue reading →

Kitchen Inn, another new kid on the block on Elizabeth Street (a couple of shops away from Borek Bakehouse), about 100-150 metres from Queen Victoria Market. I usually like to see what the restaurants’ patrons are eating (if there’s outdoor seating) before making mental checks to see if that particular restaurant would be committed to my “must … Continue reading →
