The House of Bernada Alba
I was very fortunate to win a pair of tickets to “The House of Bernada Alba” staged by W!ld Rice. So, I brought my mum to watch it along with me. 2 Peranakan ladies watch a Singaporean Peranakan adaptation of a Spanish novel. Apt, don’t you think? Thanks to SMRT, we got seats in the...

Typical Japanese Fare at Yayoiken
If you want something that it distinctly Japanese without much fanfare, a good place for set meals would be Yayoiken. Visited their branch at 313 Somerset and ordered their Tekka don and On Udon set (S$17.90++) for lunch. Firstly, I’m all for the use of new technology and I quite like ordering food via iPads...

8 International Flavoured Xiao Long Bao – Paradise Dynasty
I admit, I was enticed by Paradise Dynasty’s floor to ceiling advertisement of their 8 International Flavoured Xiao Long Bao (S$14.80++) at Vivo City (proof that marketing does work). It has everything that I love wrapped in tiny parcels that are delightfully colour coded. So…off I went to try ALL flavours (much to the shock...

Review on Hada Labo’s 3-in-1 Arbutin Whitening Perfect Gel
Oh look what came in the mail last week! Sample Store allows you to choose what samples you’d like to try without the hard selling of pushy salespeople and if you have sensitive skin like me, you’ll appreciate spending a small price to try out some cosmetics and then finding out whether it suits your...

Sushi-kansen at Genki Sushi
Through my friends, I heard about Genki Sushi’s new interesting way of delivering food to your table and I finally had the chance to experience it! I’d like to call the bullet train (shinkansen) used here the sushi-kansen. They also have the F1 car version…so would that be called the F(ood)1 service? Ok, enough with...

Update on Saveur’s fare
I finally went to Saveur for lunch today for my intern’s leave-do and it has been a long awaited affair. The abstinence was necessary to ensure interest in the food and observation of changes. The last time I went to Saveur was in Mar 2013. That’s almost a year ago! So…some changes noticed: The price...
