I love to eat. I think that’s the main reason why I’ve gained so much weight here in Singapore. But before you all give me a collective “DUH!!!“, let me elaborate a bit. Living on your own means you’re in charge of taking care of your own meals. As much as I love the place…
BRUNCH AT SIN LEE FOODS
It’s Sunday! We all know what that means – BRUNCH! Tiong Bahru is always a weekend hotspot for foodies. There’s a certain Brooklyn vibe to it with cool cafes and eclectic shops side by side each other. A little further north from the hustle and bustle of Yong Siak Street, which is quietly nestled beneath HDB blocks, lays…
CONTEMPORARY ITALIAN AT ETNA RESTAURANT
I suppose it was our lucky day when we risked going to Etna East Coast Road at 7pm on a Saturday without any reservation. We got seated straight away in the last available table – they had to turn down walk-ins after us (okay, I’m being dramatic, they put them in the wait list). I know…
TALES AND COCKTAILS AT AH SAM COLD DRINK STALL
Bespoke drinks are quite the rage in our little island. Over at Boat Quay, an inconspicuous signage that reads “AH SAM COLD DRINK STALL” leads brave and curious souls (or those active in social media, haha) to this cozy bar lined with vintage Chinese ads. It’s far from the hawker centre stall that may have…
THE BEST CALIFORNIA MAKI: KINKI RESTAURANT
My cousin recently visited Singapore, and together with my aunt, we met up by a Singapore icon, the Merlion. After taking the obligatory photos, we were faced with the dilemma of where to eat. When you’re with a tourist, the dilemma becomes 100x more harder coz you want them to try something really good whereas when…
A *SWEET* TIME AT A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR
I always complain that there’s nothing in Pasir Ris. Well, obviously, that’s far from being true – we have the new and improved White Sands plus the Ikea+Giant+Courts complex nearby. But in terms of cute cafes, we don’t really have options. Or so I thought. Thankfully, fellow Pinay and blogger Honey jio (invited) me to visit super…
BURGER, SHE WROTE
Once upon a time, I had a huuuge burger craving that could only be satisfied by back-to-back burger dinners. It was off to Bergs for the first day, which thanks to The Entertainer app, my boyfriend and I got one-for-one burgers. I opted for the Berg with Cheese, Bleu Cheese to be exact and added…
MAYBE WE CAN SLEEP IN, MAKE YOU (BANANA) PANCAKES
I don’t have enough mornings to wake up slow. Most mornings I wake up rushing because I couldn’t get up earlier. Waking up with no alarm, feeling refreshed and plain old excited for the upcoming day is an underrated luxury that I don’t seem to have enough of. I miss university days when my first class is at…
TOP 5 TIPS ON DINING OUT ALONE + TIONG BAHRU CAFES
Not only do I go out alone, I actually enjoy it. Perhaps it’s growing up an only child kind of thing, this level of comfort with being on my own. Maybe it’s even an impatience with having to deal with other people at times. Or, as it is in my personal opinion, maybe it’s simply…
FOODIE DIARY: WING ZONE AT CENTURY SQUARE
Though I still have yet to find a suitable substitute for Wingman or Sunrise Buckets or even Flaming Wings, Wing Zone at Century Square will have to do for now. I’ve tried other wings places here in Singapore and so far, Wing Zone is my favorite. I was actually quite surprised as to why it wasn’t packed when we were there.…
WALKING OUT FROM FRESH FRUITS LAB
Today’s a pretty memorable day because it’s the first time I’ve ever walked out from a restaurant. I thought it only happened on restaurant week of Master Chef and that it was scripted because how can a hungry stomach forego his forthcoming meal?! Turns out there are instances that will silence your tummy – it involves major disappointment…
