Timbre @ Substation II

I was here with a few of our friends for pizza, though on a Saturday night we could only manage to get one of the less comfortable "high-seating" tables and chairs as many of the rest were already reserved. So for those interested to have dinner at Timbre on a weekend evening, do make reservations online or through the phone ya. Chicken Pizza: 8/10 We couldn't...

Man Jia Le Full House

Me and Daphne wanted something more after our less than filling dinner at Long John Silver's, and after walking around The Central at Clarke Quay decided to give in to our sweet tooth's temptations. There's quite a variety of food despite the small area that this little cafe occupies at the basement level of this shopping mall. Some of the items have weird names...

Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie

You would probably think Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie is some atas restaurant like Au Petit Salut, or something exquisite enough to blow your wallet (and brains) off. The name has enough accents and French hints to make people (like me) try to roll it off our tongues effortlessly to impress people. Still, that doesn't necessarily mean this is all your up-market...

NYDC

Me and Daphne were walking around the fountain area of Suntec City because that's where many of the restaurants are as well. We eventually decided to go to NYDC, though in retrospect, I really wished we didn't. Roast Chicken and Grilled Pepper Baked Pasta: 3/10 Sure, I took the risk and did not order a dish that had a "Wow" label, NYDC's equivalent of a chef's...

Toast Box

As you'd guess, our unsatisfactory experience at Ya Kun prompted us to head straight to Toast Box at Orchard Wisma a couple of days later for better toast. Never mind it's slightly more expensive, sometimes taste matter a lot. Besides, we kinda wanted to diet and do away with a full lunch. Toast apparently seemed like a good idea for weight-watchers, don't you...

Ya Kun Kaya Toast

So our clubbing night wasn't that eventful, which meant we settled for an early supper at The Central in Clarke Quay with WeiJie and WanHua. Imagine, instead of booze, we sat down for coffee! Man, aren't we getting old haha. French Toast: 5/10 It's true that I expected more from Ya Kun, which explains for the dismal rating here. The French Toast used to be warm,...

Ministry of Food - Japanese Express

Sometimes don't you think Singapore should really have like a Ministry of Food, or an official food association, since it's really so much of a food hub? Then again, taste is always subjective, like how the ratings I've been using for this blog may not match the tastebuds of other more (or less) discerning foodies out there. In this case however, Ministry of...

Food Junction @ Raffles City

Me and Daphne often go around the basement of Raffles City so spoilt for choice for food, but somehow or another, we decided not to burst our pockets just before clubbing, and settled for the Food Junction food court on the third level. We settled on this stall, "Local Taste" because one of my friends was eating the Punggol Mee Goreng (don't ask me what's the...

Qi Ji

I've always wanted to eat at Qi Ji for quite some time already, but somehow Daphne was usually not in the mood for nasi lemak for either lunch or dinner. This time, when she already had lunch at home, I figured it was the best chance for me to have lunch at Qi Ji. She was staring at me, at the boards, and at people throughout lunch, and then after our movie,...

Eryimin Beancurd

After our movie at The Cathay, me and Daphne wanted something for dessert, but we also wanted something "healthy" so that we wouldn't feel too guilty about it. We decided to have one of Singapore's favourite dessert in "tau hway" at Selegie, but this time round I managed to persuade the girlfriend to try the stall beside the more popular Rochor Original Beancurd....

Riverside Indonesian @ Plaza Singapura

I am not exactly sure if this is the food court branch of the actual Riverside Restaurant at Clarke Quay (now closed), but this stall is certainly a favourite here at the Plaza Singapura Kopitiam. Grilled Chicken Set: 7.7/10 Yummy. Never mind that the soup they serve is nothing else other than water mixed with pepper. The chicken is nicely grilled, nicely flavoured...

TSC by Tong Shui Cafe II

Daphne joined my family for dinner and this was after our Bangkok trip. You can read more about TSC by TongShui here and know more about its Halal and 24-hour concept. Daphne ordered her HK Dried Noodles with Shrimp Wanton again, and so did we with the chicken wings, so we're not going to do another review on those. Here's a few other things that we tried. Fried...
