After our Pocari Sweat 10 km run, my friends and I had already arranged to meet up with 2 more friends at Toby’s Estate for brunch. My twin ordered her skinny latte and Toby’s is supposed to be famous for their coffees. The coffee was strong, which is the way twin likes her coffee. I...

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...

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...

MUST try dishes at Majestic Bay restaurant – Gardens By The Bay
I booked the private room of Majestic Bay restaurant at Gardens By The Bay for a company event and I also pre-ordered the menu blind. Meaning that I’ve never tried the food there before but just trusted that it will be good because it’s under the whole Majestic Restaurant group. Our meal began with starters...

Brunch at Barossa, Holland Village
Oh breakfast, breakfast, how I love thee. I also have to thank the British for their lovely contribution to how breakfasts are eaten. Above is my Wholesome breakfast set at Barossa ($28++) where the basics are: 2 eggs, toast, a pork sausage, a snail sausage (not that it contains snails…it’s just curled), smoked salmon, salad,...

Halia @ Raffles Hotel
They took away Seah Street Deli at Raffles Hotel and replaced it with Halia!! Can’t complain since I’m not a fan of Seah Street Deli nor have I eaten at Halia before so this was a nice place to try out with the family. Mum ordered a starter of roasted carrot soup with olive oil...

The hunt for good food seems to be a favourite past time of Singaporeans and my family. We wanted to go to Piedra Negro at Beach Road/Haji Lane but it was closed. Hungry, we decided to explore the cafes and restaurants near Arab Street instead. We chanced upon Beirut Grill and decided to give it...

Saveur-ing again and again!

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...
