Sungei Wang Ampang Yong Tau Foo

This is my favourite stall for yong tau foo, which, for our non Singaporean guests, is a mix of self chosen (often) seafood or soup ingredients. Recommended by local media, as the stall so boasts, it is little wonder why it often has a regular line of loyal customers like us - for me I get a craving for it once a month! The special thing about this yong tau...

Marche Restaurant

If you read one of my food posts some time back, you'd know that me and Daphne made a trip to the Swiss Baeckerei at Frankel Ave because of the closed outlet at Suntec, and Vilage too closed at the Heeren Orchard. In an effort to make sure that Daphne could have her much missed Marche Rosti, we headed to Vivocity after school. Plain Rosti with Sour Cream: 7/10...

Tambuah Mas

Me and Daphne initially thought we would have a try at the Lemongrass Thai Restaurant at Heeren, but seeing their menu and anticipating almost ordinary zhi char (a phrase some Chinese speaking people would use to describe Chinese ala-carte dishes; here it's broadly meant for asian dishes) fare, and at higher prices too, we travelled down to Paragon in search...

Swiss Baeckerei

Recently me and Daphne took a trip down to Vilage at Heeren Orchard for her sudden craving for rosti, only to find the place closed. Our follow-up trip to Suntec revealed that Marche was closed too, now replaced by works for TCC. In an attempt to be the all so sweet friend I took her to the Swiss Baeckerei at Frankel Avenue today to satisfy that very craving....

The Mind Cafe

The menu online looked really good, and the package looked really attractive too, so we thought why not. Eight of us packed in The Mind Cafe at Purvis Street eagerly enjoying ourselves before school reopens next week! Here's our take on the food we ordered. Mushroom Soup: 4.9/10This was the Soup of the Day, and it was ordinary. No complaints, but no wild praises...

Nude Restaurant by Indochine

Me and Daphne wanted somewhere peaceful and pleasant, and walking past Nude Restaurant a week before we thought it would be good for a Christmas Eve dinner. We're not Christians, no church for us, so we were pretty much merely indulging in the fun and commercialisation of it all. We remembered to make our reservations early too. Ragout - IndoChine's French Beef...

Ikea Restaurant

I think when anyone who has ever been to the Ikea restaurant, the first thing that would come to their mind would be the Swedish Meatballs, and that was exactly what the girlfriend wanted when we were en route to Alexandra Road. Pity the meatballs had pork, so I left it to Daphne to enjoy them herself. Although I wasn't hungry and was supposed to have a light...

Hip Diner

Billy Bombers decided to set up another eatery that's less expensive and more in tune with the youth (read: HIP diner) and voila you've got Hip Diner. Daphne wanted to try this for quite some time, and it did look alright to me. Staying away from the downtown crowd, we went to the outlet at Bugis instead. The decor is quite retro and is clearly an attempt to...

Miss Clarity Cafe

I had a craving for Miss Clarity's Black Pepper Crispy Chicken and so me and Daphne headed there once again - we were there twice within the fortnight =) It's close to Bugis and needs reservations on weekday nights since I heard it's quite popular. Looking at the menu, I realised it's very very affordable too. Calamari Rings: 8/10 This came hot and one bite...

BBQ Chicken

I would put double question marks for the cuisine because it's declared as Korea's No.1 Chicken Restaurant, though I suppose it has very much more to do with a competition with KFC, or something like that, in Korea. I like fried chicken a lot I realise, but sometimes eating too much of it makes me feel sinful and watching my tummy. In comes BBQ Chicken, with...

Azabu Sabo

20 Oct 07: Me and Daphne were initially drawn to this restaurant in Marina Square because of its attractive ice-cream and so decided to have dinner here as well. Sabo Style Chicken Teriyaki Bento: 7/10 I have to admit I'm not very adventurous when it comes to Japanese food, so I stuck to something safe like Chicken Teriyaki. Initially I thought Azabu was generous,...

Hard Rock Cafe Singapore

I have not visited this place for quite a long time, but in my army days I used to come here for desserts, especially the oh so heavenly Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae. This is a big must try for everyone, don't be surprised by the size ;) Hard Rock uses Haagan-Dazs ice-cream, lovely. Nice cosy environment, little wonder why so many Americans dine here with their...
