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...
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...
There is a recent slew of hipster cafes popping up all across Singapore and Bridge Cafe seemingly seems like one, with a vintage bicycle propped outside. Nonetheless, this is a cafe that I came back a couple of times because I really like how it’s quiet, the ambience is relaxing and the food is damn...
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...
How do you pronounce Guy Savoy? I was educated by my bro on this. It’s not English so…it’s pronounced as Ghee Sav-wah. I know what you’re thinking. My colleagues gave me bug-eyed looks when I mentioned the restaurant that I booked for our event’s speakers. Anyway, we had an event at Marina Bay Sands last...
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,...
Met up with my caterer, Kitchen Language, at one of their restaurants for lunch last Thu as we needed to finalise some logistical matters for my Ladies Workshop that was held last Sat. It was my first time eating at OChre, although I knew that it was an Italian restaurant and it is priced to...
It’s cheat day and I indulged in Once Upon A Milkshake’s new offering of Shibuya Toast where the mascot is the super cute Shiba Inu named Hachiko. I opted for the single with pecan, butterscotch and an additional banana, which came up to a total of $5.50. The buttered thick toast was nice and warm...
Greedy friends and I went to Saveur again after dinner at Jai Thai, Purvis Street, for dessert (and dinner round 2 for a super greedy friend). Note that we originally wanted to have dinner at Saveur but when I arrived at 6.50pm, the waiting list was so long that we would have to wait 1.5...
