Off to Italy!

Hello Everybody! :) The holidays are here for me! It's been quite a wait but the day has finally arrived, yes finally! I'm off to Italy tonight and I'm so so so excited (especially the tastebuds and tummy, that's for sure)! I haven't got time to schedule my food posts ahead of time so there wouldn't be any new entries in the couple of weeks to come, but if I manage to find some wifi spot in Italy I might just upload a few pictures of what...

Verve Gelato @ Clarke Quay

Verve @ Clarke Quay is a small pizza and gelato bar that comes from the original Verve Bar & Bistro at Gillman Heights. Come to think of it, I wouldn't really think of it as a bar even, since it's all pretty much al fresco with a few tables and high stools along one of the busier lanes of Clarke Quay. I would have tried the pizzas if I had room for it, but...

The Line Shop @ Shangri-La Hotel

I've always wanted to try the cakes at The Line Shop at Shangri-La Hotel, but seemed to have kept putting that off because of its inaccessibility (I know, I'm lazy to walk sometimes). It was a really good thing then that I had to attend a seminar at Shangri-La last week, since the opportunity finally came for me to indulge in some sweet treats for the afternoon....

Sugar Granny Cafe

Sugar Granny Cafe along Teo Hong Road was one of the "pit-stops" during my recent tour around Chinatown. After a good pasta at Cugini and a warm cuppa at Shots, I wandered around the area and eventually found myself at this new snack hideout close to the Outram Park NEL station. I did have my doubts about this place actually, especially after having read extremely...

The Garden Slug

It's another one of those days when I'm eating out alone again, but at least there's still that element of adventure to the day as I sought out a hidden gem in the eastern side of Singapore. This is The Garden Slug, a modest but admirable eatery that has been around in the Telok Kurau area for quite some time now. If "comfortable food", reasonable prices, excellent...

K Ki @ Ann Siang Hill II

Cakes cakes cakes. K Ki at Ann Siang Hill is to me the undisputed Queen of Cakes. Queen because of the gentle yet regal lightness of its simply divine cakes, and queen too because of how pretty these little, delicate creations look. Sweet dreams, my friends, are made of these :) Ever since my first visit to K Ki a long while back, I've always been wanting to...

No Signboard Seafood @ Robertson Quay

The new No Signboard Seafood: The Kelong at Robertson Quay is barely four months old but it is already one of my favourite places for (up-market) seafood. As you can probably tell from the picture above (see those red paper lanterns?), this post is long overdue, but there's always a time for a delicious post right? :) One of the things I like about this Robertson...

JTown Cafe

I first learnt about JTown Cafe from CheapNGoodFood.com, who followed me on Twitter and told me about this new, humble little Indonesian eatery near 313 @ Somerset. To be precise, it's located at the basement of Midpoint Orchard, which actually is opposite 313 @ Somerset and where people would be more familiar with it as Orchard Emerald. Black Pepper Chicken...

Cugini Trattoria Pizzeria

Cugini Trattoria at Club Street is an authentic-looking Italian trattoria that I've been meaning to go for quite some time now, and I hear that some of its pastas are close to the real deal that you can get at Italy. Speaking of which, I'm filled with so much worry now over my upcoming Italy trip (volcano volcano argh!) and I'm already forced to look into alternatives...
