Privé Bakery & Cafe

Daphne brought me here for dessert and I have to say it was a very good choice. It wasn't very crowded on a Wednesday night, and we had part of the cafe all to ourselves. I've read all about Privé on Ladyironchef, which I have to say is the best food blog in Singapore (beautiful pictures and nicely written food reviews) and which I read quite regularly myself....

Al Dente Trattoria

Happy Birthday.......... to ME! *Smiles* Daphne was very attracted to the idea of rooftop dining and brought me here for my birthday. The view's really pretty good, so as long as you keep your head towards the skyscrapers and a bit of the waterfront, and not the up-and-coming integrated resorts. It's especially good for couply pictures like this one: Truth be...

Tiffany Cafe and Restaurant @ Furama City Centre II

I was here again with my family and Daphne, and even before we arrived I was already talking about how I was hoping that there wouldn't be any greedy people trying to snatch the chilli crabs away from me. So you can imagine how I felt when I realised that there weren't any crabs around, not even on the cold dishes! Tiffany Cafe isn't known for its variety, but...

Barcelos: Flame Grilled Chicken

It really seems like typical Western fare to me, but yes it does have its origins in South Africa. I have to admit I was thinking it's probably Spanish or Mexican at first. Some people tend to compare Barcelos to Kenny Rogers, as did some of my friends who came here with me. The space in Barcelos is quite small, but the booth seats are very comfortable if you...

Botak Jones II

It's funny how my friends and family have gotten so used to me stopping them from plunging their forks or chopsticks (or bare hands) into their food before I could take pictures of them (the food, not the people). This time, I was having dinner with some of the friends I made when I was in Hong Kong, and we chose Botak Jones simply because it's located close...

Cold Rock Ice-Creamery II

Me and Daphne wanted to try out the desserts at the 2am Dessert Bar but it was closed on a Sunday night! Don't be fooled though, the bar's opening hours on other days is from 3pm to 2am, which means the "2am" is really it's closing time. I'm sure we'll check it out someday, some-how. Meanwhile, the next best alternative had to be one of our top favourite ice-cream...

Dome Restaurant @ Dempsey

Since both me and Daphne didn't want to burn our pockets at Dempsey, we ended up deciding between Harry's and Dome, and as you can probably tell we settled for the latter. In retrospect however, I think we would have had a more satisfying dinner at Harry's! Beef Lasagna: 7/10 Eating this makes me miss my Emiliana Lasagna from Modesto's! Sorry for the camera...

Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie II

After a frustrating weekend last week, I badly needed my chocolate therapy to cool myself down and lift my spirits. We couldn't eat ice-cream because Daphne was nursing a sore throat, but she felt that cakes wouldn't be as bad and so we settled on the cosy little Canele along Scotts Road. Many of the food bloggers who I know have covered this place already,...

Resto Surabaya

So where or what is Surabaya? It's Indonesia's second-largest city, and the capital of the province of East Java. However if you're wondering about this humble little eatery instead, it's located at a quiet corner of Lucky Plaza on downtown Orchard Road, and is admittedly often overshadowed by Ayam Penyet Ria, which has two branches within the same building....
