15 Minutes

Just only about a month old, 15 Minutes is a hip, up and coming café located at the new LASELLE College of the Arts building along Prinsep Street. First-time visitors here may find themselves trying to draw a similarity between Timbre and 15 Minutes because of the drinks bar and live band performances, but from what I see the latter certainly has a younger crowd...

Chocolate Research Facility

For a chocolate lover like me, the Chocolate Research Facility at Millenia Walk is a paradise indeed. The Facility doesn't look much, it's quite minimalist actually, and what you see is really the end-products arranged neatly on a single, long table. Not exactly Willy Wonka and his zany factory, or some space shuttle facility lookalike. The bright little boxes...

Ah Loy Thai

Ah Loy Thai is a small eatery nestled in a fairly quiet corner at Shaw Towers but come lunch or dinner it's bustling with activity. Not surprising though, good food at good prices will certainly draw a crowd, don't you think? And oh, Ah Loy should not be confused with Ah Roy at Funan IT Mall as the latter also serves Thai food, albeit in a finer (and therein,...

Tom's Palette

Tom's Palette has been receiving pretty good reviews from a good many food bloggers and it was about time that I took a trip down to Shaw Towers to have a look for myself. It tries to make itself out to be one of the healthier ice-cream parlours - "Tom's Palette is also healthier as we cut half the sugar level and replaced part of the cream with milk" - while...

1 Caramel

At least four food bloggers that I know have written about 1Caramel and since I was in the area I decided to drop by this little patiserrie with Daphne. Chocolate Praline: 4.75/5 The both of us were a little full from lunch and so decided to share a slice, but in retrospect I thought we should have ordered the whole cake. It was that good.While the cake was...

Loving Hut

"Be Veg, Go Green". Looks like you don't just "go green" by replacing that fuel-guzzling car for a hybrid or reduce your use of electricity-sappers like air-conditioners - what you eat seems to help as well. I was looking through some of the food blogs, as I do ever so often, and came upon a post about Loving Hut and its vegetarian dishes done to a likeness...

Swensen's Ice-Cream II

I was looking through my labels on the right column and I realised that I eat a lot of fried rice, a lot of burgers, and yes, a lot of ice-cream. I guess if there's any time at all when I'm wondering where did those extra kilos come from all I have to do is make a quick check on this blog haha. Well, not much introduction needed for Swensen's, it's a popular...

The Atrium Deli @ Pan Pacific Hotel

If you're in need of a quiet and peaceful teatime snack, there's The Atrium Deli at Pan Pacific Hotel. With the "Summerlicious Specials" promotion on till the end of the month, the teatime set is going for just $28++ "featuring petite sandwiches, pastries and freshly-brewed tea". I have to admit though that there were as many misses as there were hits in this...

Seah Street Deli @ Raffles Hotel

We meant to head to Heaven's Loft at Orchard Central for dinner but a brief lookaround the Net revealed several harsh comments about the restaurant, especially the service. We didn't feel like having anyone test our patience for the night, and I decided to bring Daphne to Seah Street Deli at Raffles Hotel instead. Union Square Burger: 4.25/5 I added a fried...

Bakerzin Dinner

I've always been blogging about the cake promotions from Bakerzin, but you may be wondering - what about the rest of the food? One of my friends who was held up even asked me puzzledly, "There's food at Bakerzin?" I suppose he was thinking people wouldn't exactly go to Bakerzin for anything else but cakes. Fair enough, that's what I thought so too. The "All...

ZenZen

ZenZen is a new colourful eatery at Bugis Junction that prides itself as an award-winning European fast-food restaurant "with an Asian kick". We weren't intending to dine here at first but the pleasant service at the door won us over. What about the food you say? Marco Polo Spaghetti: 3.25/5 The spaghetti comes in a box similar to American Chinese takeouts,...

Rich & Good Cake Shop II

We're back here again for more swiss rolls! I agree with some bloggers who mentioned that it wouldn't be worth the time to travel all the way here for the swiss rolls, but it's perfectly fine if you're in the area. I got the coffee swiss roll which proved to be really nice with its soft and smooth texture and rich coffee flavour. No picture of this but hey it's...
