Travel \ Indonesia
Rise and shine! We started our second day at Bintan Lagoon Resort with buffet breakfast at kopi-o restaurant. When I’m having a buffet breakfast it’s almost always when I’m on vacation. That’s why buffet breakfasts make me happy :) Anyways, the spread here consists of both Asian and Western food. We wasted no time in filling our plates. East meets West when you have fried bee hoon (rice vermicelli), sambal...

Travel \ Indonesia
Over the past weekend my friend and I were invited to enjoy a 2D1N stay at Bintan Lagoon Resort. Our task was simple: review the resort and check out its facilities and restaurants. See, this 12 year old resort (highly popular among Singaporeans) has just renovated some of its rooms. We had the luxury of staying in one of these newly refurbished deluxe rooms! Following a 60-minute ferry ride from...

It’s no secret that Singaporeans love Hainanese chicken rice. In fact we love it so much, we introduce it everywhere. It’s almost impossible to go to a hawker centre or a food court and not find a chicken rice stall. The humble plate of Hainanese chicken rice has even found its way onto the menus of luxurious hotel restaurants, Singapore airlines flights and also the Singapore food sampler given to...

Zion Riverside Food Centre: Mohammed Sultan Road Hot & Cold Cheng Tng – Feeling Thirsty Yet?

Food & Drink
I have visited Zion Riverside Food Centre a couple of times and noticed that practically every hawker stall is plastered with newspaper cuttings featuring the stall, or photos of celebrities visiting the stall. Tell me, is the food there really that good? I’ve had the ichiban congee which was awesome. But that’s also one of the handful of stalls that doesn’t boast any media coverage or star visits. Another stall...

If you’re craving for a multi-course Japanese meal that goes easy on the pockets, head over to tetsu, a chic Japanese restaurant located on the quieter side of town in Tanglin Mall. On first impression, the sleek and stylish zen look of the interior exudes the feel of a fine-dining restaurant. Fortunately over here, you would not have to pay fine-dining prices for fine food. This being a food-tasting session...

Food & Drink
If you have passed by the Golden Arches recently, you may have noticed the new wasabi range of Filet-O-Fish and shaker fries. The fast food giant promises it would give you a “karai sensation”. So far, these wasabi items appear to be available only at McDonald’s Singapore. But wait a minute, wasabi on a battered fish patty? Wouldn’t that taste kind of… weird? Well, curiosity got the better of me!...

Imagine having a Moroccan meal, alfresco style, with a cool breeze wafting past, the magnificent Sultan Mosque and its golden domes as a backdrop. Ain’t that quaint? I had it all at Deli Moroccan, a humble restaurant along Bussorah Street. One afternoon I just had the sudden urge to go for an otherworldly cuisine. It would be something I’ve never eaten before — Moroccan food! A perfect place to have...

Popular sushi restaurant chain Sakae Sushi has diversified. This time, they are seeking a slice of the wafuu (japanese style) pasta market by opening up a new restaurant. Simply named The Pasta Shop, this casual eatery offers a large selection of inexpensive pasta here, as well as burgers and thin Japanese pizza. It’s a good idea to check out the restaurant during weekdays from 11:30am to 3pm, when you can...
