A Short Note

This is my one and only statement on the issue that I have found myself embroiled in. Like many of you, my own opinion had been formed based on what I was told, and I had voiced it through a personal albeit public domain. To that effect, I rejected requests for interviews because this was purely my own expressions in my own space. Some have made out my expressions to appear obsessive, but then anything would appear to be so if you take...

J.B, Malaysia: Baskin Robbins

There's always a time for ice-cream, no matter how full you are, no matter what time of the day it is, and no matter how much you try to be on a diet. When I was in J.B recently I made a mental note to pay Baskin Robbins a visit, especially since the last time I had ice-cream from Robbins was a few years ago in Bangkok. I remember it to be quite good.If I had...

J.B, Malaysia: Sedap Corner

City Square is a fairly large shopping mall just a few minutes walk away from the Causeway, and anyone would guess that it was purpose-built for Singaporeans. Here you can get your Kenny Rogers, Nando's, Swensen's (named Seasons here), Starbucks, J Co. Doughnuts and what not all at "reduced" prices because of the weaker Malaysian currency. But I won't really...

J.B, Malaysia: Kai Xuan Chinese Restuarant

Halal dim sum is a rarity in Singapore, but then again I would expect the purists to argue that there is no "real" dim sum if it has gone no pork - no lard anyway. For those who choose to press on with this unique mission however, an advice would be to get that passport out and be ready to cross the Causeway. Kai Xuan Chinese Restaurant at Puteri Pacific Hotel...

J.B, Malaysia: Ramly Burger

Me and my family spent the long National Day weekend in Johor Bahru and I thought it went quite well actually (note: we came back in time to catch the NDP on TV, so don't question our patriotism please!). The food was relatively cheap and we indulged happily in simple things like A&W, Baskin Robbins and dim sum (some of these will be covered in the posts...

The Atrium Deli @ Pan Pacific Hotel II

The whole weekend burned because of meetings and attending to foreign delegates? I'm not really complaining actually, it's interesting work and it's always nice to meet new people. Of course, at times it got a little tiring so there was a need for something sweet to perk myself up. This was where the Chocolate Pecan Tart came in. Thick with chocolate and chunky...

The Bistro @ NUSS Suntec City Guild House II

You may have read about my dinner at NUSS Suntec City's The Bistro, but here is a post on its new August set menu that features a fusion theme. In case you hadn't known, entry to The Bistro is for NUSS members only, but of course you can always get a member to bring you in. The Suntec City Guild House also has a grill night on weekends, and I do hope I can...

The Bistro @ NUSS Suntec City Guild House

You've heard me shower praises on The Dunearn at NUSS' Bukit Timah Guild House, so I thought you might be interested in another place from NUSS - The Bistro at NUSS' Suntec City Guild House. Unlike The Dunearn however, access to The Bistro is strictly for members only, but you can always get a current member to take you there. The Bistro actually features a...
