Although I’ve noticed Eighteen Chefs ever since they started at Tiong Bahru Plaza ages ago, I’ve never stepped into their restaurant until last Sunday when I met up with Siew Mai and we decided to have a dinner…of sorts. Started by Chef Benny, Eighteen Chefs is a bit like Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen, where troubled youth...
Hearty Italian at La Braceria
I have no idea who recommended La Braceria to my bro but he suggested that we go there for dinner so my family did. First up, I am constantly amazed at how all these restaurants in Bukit Timah survive very well despite the horrible lack of parking and not being the most accessible by public...
A very sweet affair at St Marc Cafe Singapore
After lunch, bro suggested dessert and we were about to head over to Fruits Paradise but we chanced upon St. Marc Cafe at Vivo City. This latest Japanese import is a cafe specialising in desserts and baked goods. The first St. Marc Cafe was opened in Ginza in 1987 and true to it’s Japanese origins,...
Lunch at Gunther’s – The modern French Cuisine
Met up with some old friends at Gunther’s for lunch although we were supposed to have gone to Saveur but Saveur lost us because of the wait staff’s rudeness. Anyway, back to Gunther’s Restaurant. This is the second time that I’ve eaten at Gunther’s and the first was a business lunch so I couldn’t do...
It’s my birthday and I party!!!
My birthday celebrations started on Wed, 12 Oct evening where I had dinner with my parents at Vineyard @ HortPark (yes, I realy do like this place). I was so preoccupied with eating their fab food that I only remembered to take photos halfway through dessert! Above is the very yummy Banana tempura with vanilla...

Misc things that happened last week~
Last week was a super duper busy week, which is why I haven’t had the chance to blog. Anyhows, these are some miscellaneous things that I’ve been up to: I made what I’d like to call, a mocha tiramisu. Unlike the traditional tiramisu, I didn’t use mascarpone cheese. Instead, I used chocolate mousse (hence the...
Birthday Party Time!! Part Trois
I had a movie marathon at my place from Fri-Sat morning with my friends! Nothing much except to chill and eat!!! I’ve got cool Lady Gaga earphones now!! WEEEEEE~~~~~~ Fren to me: We saw it and immediately went, “This is so Mel.” Score for them because they didn’t read my blog but earphones was...
moooving along…
Still enroute to Niagara Falls and we stop by Hershey’s!! The chocolate tour is a short ride with singing cows and the usual explanation on how chocolate is manufactured. At the risk of sounding atas (snobbish for those non-Singaporeans), I couldn’t help but miss my Godiva, Lindtt and Sins. That didn’t stop us from buying...
Kitto Katsu!!
Was hunting around for black sesame ice cream in Jurong Point the other day and hopped into Yamakawa Supermarket. Look what funky Kit Kat flavours I’ve bought!! Apple vinegar, vegetable and fruit juice (tie in with the brand Ito En) and Plum Soda (aka Ume soda). Taste test – First up was the Ume Soda....
