Went to watch ‘Red 2’ after seeing the trailer before watching ‘Now You See Me’. Just found the trailer hilarious and I was watching it mainly for John Malkovich and to oogle at Lee Byung Hun’s bod. *Huge grin* Unbeknownst to me, ‘Red 2’ is the sequel to ‘Red’ which is from a comic of...

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...

More on Tiong Bahru Bakery
Please note that I did not eat both pastries in the same day. Despite my self-love on my rolls, I am trying to reduce them…so these 2 were eaten on separate days but I decided to post them in 1 posting since it is about Tiong Bahru Bakery. I have eaten an uber expensive sandwich...

‘Now You See Me’ is an AWESOME film
I seldom give films high praise but ‘Now You See Me’ deserves 2 thumbs up/ 5 popcorns out of 10/ whatever scale you want to use! This movie is not as widely publicised or marketed as other films, which is a shame considering that the cast is rather star studded and the acting was superb....

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...
