The weekend is coming up and we all know what that means — oversleeping BRUNCH! In case you need suggestions on where to go, let me point you to this quirky yet cozy eatery in the River Valley area. Spathe Public House offers a Brooklyn inspired experience with plates that are meant for sharing. They…
FOODIE DIARY: AFFORDABLE FRENCH FOOD AT SAVEUR
Deconstructed Tarte Au Citron French restaurant Saveur became Pooja and I’s default destination for our recent birthdays. We went to the one at Far East Plaza for her birthday, and to their Purvis Street branch for mine. Pretty obvious how we’re fans of this affordable restaurant, haha! The food is delightful to the eyes, mouth,…
SET BRUNCH AT DB BISTRO MODERNE
I’m always complaining about how brunch bills blindside me. After a sometimes really yummy, oftentimes just okay meal, I always end up wondering how come it amounted to such. Given this trend of regret, I figured might as well enter brunch knowing exactly how much damage it will cost me. That’s where the DB Bistro…
FOODIE DIARY: SKINNY PIZZA
My happiness – pizza and pasta. I really feel I should move to Italy, or at least go on a month or so food sabbatical slash road trip from Milan to Sicily and just indulge myself with Italian cuisine til I no longer crave for it. I can only imagine the toll of the carbs…
DATE NIGHT WITH MAMA
My mom and I didn’t waste any moment during her recent visit to Singapore. Not more than a couple of hours after she arrived, we went to see (hear?) the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra. It was all pretty impromptu and she got a bit stressed by me because after all, she had just landed and was…
DINING AT MANDARIN ORIENTAL SINGAPORE
Like I said here, I think that Mandarin Oriental has the best in-hotel dining in Singapore. I bet the first thing that comes to locals’ minds is Morton’s, but no, this isn’t about the famous steakhouse – I didn’t even step inside. I mean, I would’ve loved to try it out but I have yet…
FOODIE DIARY: KEISUKE TOKYO RAMEN DINING
Ramen is so big these days that shops just keep on sprouting not just in Manila but also here in Singapore. I looove Japanese food, but I’ll be honest, ramen isn’t really at the top of my list. I mean, I do appreciate me a good bowl, but I’d take sushi and katsus over it…
FOOD FOR THOUGHT AT THE GARDEN SLUG
This post was originally intended to be a foodie diary entry for The Garden Slug. However, the more I look at it, it’s just not. There’s a lot of notes to self and “lessons” to be found here. Wait, what!? It sounds crazy so instead of explaining the idea behind it, I’ll just let you read through…
FOODIE DIARY: TONKATSU AT TONKICHI SINGAPORE
One of the usual questions people asked me back in Manila is what I usually eat in Singapore. People are surprised when my response is “japanese” coz this city is famous for hawkers. It’s not that I don’t like hawkers, it’s just that the freedom that comes with living alone and earning your own moolah…
DATE NIGHT AT AL FORNO
Al Forno is one of the more recommended Italian eateries in Singapore by Google and my Facebook friends. It’s also quite nearby (East coast, baby!) meaning it’s accessible but at the same time it’s something you can put off going to coz it’s just there anyway. Finally tried it and although the Panzarotti Classici (pasta stuffed…
FOODIE DIARY: SABOTEN
A foodie photo diary of one of my favorite places in Singapore – Saboten over at Changi Airport Terminal 1. My boyfriend and I love our japanese food so we often take advantage of the Changi staff menu available to airport pass holders. Not only is it close to work, the staff is friendly and…
