Privé Bakery & Cafe II

The exams are drawing near and I needed some place quiet, some place relaxing where I could just destress and have a nice dinner. Privé immediately came to my mind, and this little islet is indeed becoming a favourite spot for both me and Daphne. Away from the hustle, away from the bustle, just enjoying the gentle sea breeze and lapping of the waves. The N.Y....

Chicago's Steakhouse

Many restaurants have started their own promotions to attract customers given the current economic recession, and Chicago's Steakhouse at Orchard Cineleisure is just one of them. Coupon leaflets, just like the one you see below, have been handed out in the past couple of weeks with simply enticing one-for-one main course, tapas and dessert offers. If you do...

Cuscaden Patio

Ce Zheng has been going on and on about his deep-fried chicken wings at Cuscaden that it was only a matter of time before the whole group of us trooped down to the pub to see (and taste) what he has been raving about. It's a small pub that's oddly placed at the basement of Ming Arcade (just opposite Hard Rock Cafe), but once there you would really 1) smell the...

Sakura Halal Thai Chinese Restaurant

The name itself is unique and deserves mention surely - four cultures under one name, one restaurant. Some of the food in the menu is Thai-inspired no doubt, but most of the rest are your standard, no frills Asian dishes like fried rice and stir-fried noodles. It's certainly a draw for many Muslim patrons, but I realised that half of the tables in the restaurant...

Recipe: Chocolate Cheesecake

I'm feeling very satisfied as I'm typing this post because the cheesecake was simply divine. I've been persuading my mum to bake this cake, making special requests on how I want it to be and how it should look like, and it's finally done. And eaten with much relish of course :) I would have wanted a single (thick) layer of chocolate at the bottom and a single,...

Fromage

Cityvibe is a new (read: small) shopping complex beside Clementi MRT and houses at least two Japanese restaurants (Ramen Ten and Sakae Sushi) under its roof. I never really found the time to explore the place eventhough I pass by it almost everyday, but Fromage's banner did catch my eye a couple of times whilst I was standing on the MRT platform waiting for...

Han's Cafe

I have to admit that much of the food from Han's is really standard fare, but you can't deny that their set meals (consisting of a soup, toast, main course, drink and dessert) are quite "value-for-money", so some Singaporeans say. The fish and chips was quite fresh actually, and I liked the batter used for the fish. The other is Tyler's roast chicken dish, a...

Peaberry & Pretzel

I've read a lot about this dessert place in quite a few food blogs, and have always wanted to give their desserts a try. I was trying to persuade the rest to order different desserts so that I'd have more to blog about. Guess what happened? Valrhona Warm Chocolate Pudding: 9/10 All of them were hearing me going on and on about how delicious the chocolate pudding...

Megumi Japanese Restaurant

It was only a matter of time before we finally made our first trip to Sunset Way, especially since it's only a ten minutes or so bus ride from school. I've walked around this place quite a bit in the past few days to have a look at what they have, and only time will tell if Sunset Way will really pick up in popularity. Megumi doesn't have that many seats in...
