Restaurant Review – Dinner at Extra Virgin Pizza
I’ve read so many good reviews about Extra Virgin Pizza that I just HAD to try it when I met my bro for dinner one evening. They didn’t have any seats inside so we had to sit outside on the uncomfy bar chairs which were easy to get up but less easy to get down. ...

The trend nowadays seem to be making fine dining cheap while cafes are making simple fare extravagant and expensive. I’m all for affordable gourmet!!

Restaurant Review – Ootoya @ Orchard Central
Dad decided that dinner would be at Ootoya (大戸屋) simply because he had a $50 voucher. Japanese is always good and I’ve always wanted to try another one of this Japanese exports.

Second Review of Nam Nam Noodles
This is the second time that I’ve eaten at Nam Nam noodles, located at B1 of Raffles City Shopping Centre. Being adventurous, I decided to go for their dry beef stew noodles. For $9.90, I think this is really quite a bargain in the city. I forgot to mention that I didn’t want the onions...

Restaurant Review – Osaka Ohsho
So…Japan Foods Holdings decided to revamp the Champon restaurant at Raffles City Tower basement to “Osaka Ohsho” – the king of gyoza. Good strategy because it keeps people interested in the place while the parent company brings in yet another ‘heavyweight’ from Japan. Decided to try the place out since gyoza is supposed to be...

Restaurant review – Bobby’s
When you work in the CBD, finding set lunches at $10 is a steal and if it’s $10.95++ at a restaurant in Chijmes, it’s a bargain! So, we marketing gals went down with our new colleague for a welcome lunch at Bobby’s. All of us were suitably impressed with the very long set lunch menu...

Review – Prive Cafe
I’ve been to Prive a few times now but I’ve never eaten there before so today, brother decided to have brunch there and I started things off with my Iced Chocolate ($11++). It’s a little pricy but they used the actual melted chocolate and not some cheapo cocoa powder so I guess that made it...

Restaurant Review – Ramen Dining Keisuke Tokyo
Lurking in a corner on the 3rd floor of Parco Millenia Walk is a gem of a ramen place called Ramen Dining Keisuke Tokyo. I love bean sprouts! Especially when it comes in a nice tub for you to eat as much as you want! You can also ask for bonito flakes for toppings. これだけ食べ放題。。。...
