Penang Place Restaurant

[1]I've heard a lot about Penang Place from quite a few blogs, and the Penang Fried Kway Teow was the one thing that was receiving rave reviews from many of these foodies. I also learnt that Penang Place doesn't serve pork nor lard, which was enough for me to bring the family here for dinner. [2]The interior decor of the place is very simple and unassuming,...

DJAS & Family Muslim Food

Me and Daphne were headed to the Singapore Science Centre to relive our childhood memories (haha) and also because we're running out of places to entertain and amuse ourselves in Singapore. Since the Science Centre is within walking distance from the Jurong East MRT Interchange, I had the chance to eat one of my favourite Malay chicken rice for lunch. Chicken...

The Pump Room @ Clarke Quay

The Pump Room was packed on Christmas Eve, so me and Daphne decided to sit outside, enjoy our drinks and enjoy each other's company (not to mention watching the crowd and revellers as well). There's no cover charge if you're seated on the outside, and I have to admit the air's much better too haha. Great place to hang out with friends or just a cosy night with...

Fish & Co.

The best seller at Fish & Co. has to be its platter for two. Perfect for couples or for trios of (weight-watching) ladies. Platter for Two: 8/10 We requested for fried calamari instead of the usual grilled ones because the Daphne doesn't like them too chewy (or "rubbery" as she tried to explain it). These were not too bad, and the fish was very fresh too....

Recipe: Christmas Fruit Cake

Santa had to take a rest on his sled because he was drunk on Bailey's. My mother loves to bake cakes, cookies and tarts (amongst many others), and I was thinking that it's high time I include her yummy works in this blog. Besides, some of my favourite food bloggers like Pearl and Mengni seem to have a special talent in baking the most delicious looking of things...

Al-Ameen Eating House II

After trying the coin pratas at Al-Azhar, I thought it was only right to give Al Ameen a try and see if it could do any better. Coin Prata: 7.5/10 And yes, it did fare better than Al-Azhar, having the right amount of crispiness and at the same time still retaining the thickness of the dough (that makes it different from the usual, thinner pratas). Could be better...

Sun Moulin

I've always wanted to try the cream coronet after reading it on so many blogs, and even with a pretty full tummy, just looking at it made me want to buy it. And so I did! Sun Moulin is located just outside the Isetan basement supermarket at Shaw House, and is pretty popular with youths and adults alike. They really have quite a range of breads and pastries here,...

Dai Ka Jie

The both of us were thinking of something oriental, something Chinese, for dinner and I suggested Dai Ka Jie at Heeren because I had a cut-out coupon from The Sunday Times (check the Lifestyle section every Sunday for the "Yummy Treats" page) that gave us a 30% discount on their roast duck. Miss Funshine Bear joined us for dinner as well, though she was contented...

Dairy Queen

I like the plain or chocolate dipped cones at Dairy Queen ($0.90 for a plain one), but I also tend to forget about it when I'm walking around Ngee Ann City. It has a slightly more milky taste as compared to MacDonald's ice-cream cone, which I prefer. Oreo Brownie Waffle Bowl: 8/10 I have no idea how long this promotion will last, but it's an incredibly cheap...

Food Anytime

Located at the basement of Bishan Junction 8 is this range of small eateries that includes "Food, Anytime" (at least, that's what I make out the shop name to be), which specialises in Chinese desserts and snacks like tang yuan and chee cheong fun. They have also added flavoured "ice shavings" to their menu since the last time I visited them, as you can see from...
