I went to the flagship Cafe & Bar of Oriole Coffee at the Pan Pacific service suites, which is right smack between Somerset 313 and my fave shopping haunt – H&M. It was raining and my friend was hungry (I was a bit peckish too) so we headed to Oriole as she loves their coffee....

Restaurant Review – Bonchon Chicken Singapore
My brother ate the fried chicken at Bonchon Chicken in New York and was telling me how much he enjoyed it as well as how popular it is in NYC. As such, I decided to try the Bonchon Chicken at Bugis+ for lunch. Started with the spicy Tteokbokki ($12.90++) which not only was the rice...

Cafe Review – Heath Bistro
As you know, I went to AFA (Anime Festival Asia) over the weekend so a girl has got to eat right? So…Siew Mai did a bit of googling and found ‘Heath Bistro’ at Expo via hungrygowhere.com. That’s Siew Mai pretending to take a photo of my food. Below is my Chicken Chop Rice which came...

Restaurant Review – NamNam Noodle Bar
Opened by the Les Amis group, NamNam noodle bar is a nice small cafe/restaurant serving casual Vietnamese pho and bahn mi at very reasonable prices! The bahn mi start from $5.90 while the various types of pho start from $7.90. My colleagues and I went for their lunch sets at $9.90 (LOVE lunch sets) which...

Restaurant Review – Menya Kaiko
Went to this new restaurant called “Menya Kaiko” at Marina Bay Financial Centre, Tower 3. This is a new branch (the other one is at ION Orchard) and my bro and I decided to try it since there weren’t a lot of other food places open on a Sunday. First impression was that this was...

Restaurant Review – Cherry Garden @ Mandarin Oriental, Singapore
The last time I ate at Cherry Garden was in 2008 or perhaps even in 2007 when the previous chef was at the helm and revamped the restaurant. He has left a legacy that is followed quite nicely by the current chef. I was invited to lunch by my salesperson as I was checking out...

Restaurant Review – Stellar @ 1-Altitude
Met up with my ex-colleagues today as they treated me to an early birthday lunch! Jen suggested Stellar @ 1-Altitude and the menu looked really fantastic from the website. I was all psyched up to go and try out the food at this restaurant since it’s supposed to be fine dining AND it has a...

Restaurant review – San Sui Contemporary Japanese
It’s one of my bestie’s birthday so we decided to celebrate it at San Sui, located at Clarke Quay. Sing had been there previously for a corporate tasting and said that it was good and she also had some discount vouchers. So…off it was to San Sui. They were having a DBS/POSB card promotion for...

Restaurant Review – Poulet
My family is all for good food at reasonable prices so, my dad was particularly interested to try the food at ‘Poulet’, a nouveau French restaurant at the revamped Bugis+ (formerly known as Illuma) by Chef Nelson Chua (formerly from Au Petit Salut). The design of the place is quite cozy in the sense that...

Restaurant Review – “Yomenya Goemon”
I’m sure most Singaporeans have heard of Pasta de Waraku and probably herald it as the first Japo-spaghetti/pasta restaurant in Singapore. It probably is but it can’t fight with the famous Yomenya Goemon (literally means Western Noodle Store, Goemon). I decided to treat and console myself over the crappy less-than-ideal bonus and pasta has always...
