I must say that this year, I really dragged out my birthday celebrations…LOL! It all started on the Monday before, where I collected my cake from ClearSK. Big thanks to them for always remembering to send me a cake since 2014! I chose the Lychee cake because it was small (only 15cm in diameter) and...
This year’s birthday was kinda interesting because, at first, I thought that I was going to have to work the evenings of my birthday week. Thus, I scheduled dinner with my family on the “off day” and then my originally planned Friday dinner with friends was then cancelled with a date to be confirmed. However,...
We rented the car for 2 days so on Sunday, we decided to go out of Manhattan island and explore other parts of New York! Joanne had brought along a guide book which recommended visiting DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). DUMBO is a neighbourhood in the borough of Brooklyn and I was thrilled...
Located at a corner where Cecil Street meets Marina Boulevard, The Black Swan resides in an 1930s building which used to be a bank. Running with the Art Deco theme, the Lo & Behold Group transformed it into The Black Swan, which serves classic cuisine that borders on being French-Americano. Upon entering the restaurant, you...
Chui Huay Lim Club is nestled in a corner along Keng Lee Road, near Newton, and the Club itself is more than 160 years old. The flagship restaurant is also called Chui Huay Lim and it literally translates as Forest of Drunken Flowers. Hmm…how poetic. The family and I decided to go there for dinner...
Located in a nondescript corner of the 3rd floor of Robinsons, The Heeren (btw, the new Robinsons at Heeren remind me of Selfridges in London…but that’s a separate topic), that’s only highlighted with this thin sign, the family and I went to Luke’s Oyster Bar & Chop House for a special post-Christmas dinner. This particular...
If you’ve read my previous post on Bridge Cafe, Restaurant & Bar, you would’ve known how impressed I was with the food and so, I decided to bring my colleague there for his leave-do. Again, I ordered their Executive Set II but I went for the Chicken Roulade for the mains. Again, I was heavily...
Chanced upon Henri Charpentier through a friend when we were trying to help my colleague find a proper gift for his step-mum. Despite me being a foodie, I’ve never heard of this popular (and famous) Japanese patisserie chain. Opened in Japan in 1969, Henri Charpentier is a French style Japanese patisserie and its namesake is...
I had the pleasure of being treated to a delicious Japanese lunch by a vendor at Tatsu Teppanyaki, located at CHIJMES. After CHIJMES’ recent facelift, Tatsu has downsized to a small restaurant which only has 1 main teppanyaki area further in and a small bar counter seating near the entrance. All of us ordered the...
Does this look like I’m eating canteen food? LOL. This was my lunch at Pack’d and I ordered the Hearty Set Meal (S$12.90) which consists of:1 hot main (choice of Beef Meatballs/ Pulled Chicken/ Stew of the Day on rice or pasta)1 drink1 dessert (choice of muffin or croissant) I went for the Beef Meatballs...
