Moon turns 30 today!! And we had to go somewhere that we’ve never gone to before, which is MAD (Modern Asian Diner) at the refurbished Turf City/Grandstand at Bukit Timah. MAD is a collaboration between Tung Lok Group, Bakerzin, Top Wine, Bar Stories and Dick Lee which explains why the place is not just a...

Tea Time at TWG
Siew Mai and I were hungry and thirsty after our bout of shopping, and TWG (Ion Orchard) was the nearest place for a cup of tea. The queues are normally quite long so since an opportunity presented itself, I grabbed it. We ordered their Prime Tea Set (S$26++) which comes with a pot of tea,...

First Time at Eighteen Chefs
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...

Fine Dining in Singapore at Guy Savoy
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...

More eating at HIFUMI
Went back to Hifumi again and this time, I ordered their special Green Tea Rice with Salmon Tataki. I shan’t blog about their appetiser spread since I’ve already blogged about it and the spread does not change. So…the salmon dish above looks super yummy, right? Well…I will only give it a 3 out of 5. ...

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...

Sunday Brunch at Spruce @ Bukit Timah, Old Fire House
Met up with a couple of ex-colleagues for brunch at Spruce, specifically the one at the old fire station along Upper Bukit Timah. I never knew about this place but one of my friends (ex-colleague) keeps passing by this particular branch (the other one is at Phoenix Park, Tanglin) whenever she takes the bus towards...

Ending the week at Salt Tapas & Bar
This is how one should end the week – with a nice cold drink! In my case, it’s a glass of frozen lime Daiquiri (S$15++) at Salt Tapas & Bar. I’ve always been meaning to try the food out here but one of my directors had said that the food was so-so while my bro...
