Y.R.A. Aspirasa – Awesome Ayam Penyet! — Ever since the advent of the wildly popular ayam penyet (smashed fried chicken) from Indonesia, many Indonesian and Muslim eateries have started selling the dish here. Of the numerous ones I have tried, my personal favorite can be found at ABC Market.

Best Satay – Literally the Best Satay — besides ayam penyet, another favored hawker-type food of mine is definitely satay (meat skewers)! For 5 years I have been patronising stalls 7 and 8 at Lau Pa Sat, where both the food and service exceed expectations!

Pretty Young Things — Talented photographer, Sabine Rath, does a remarkable job of capturing the most innocent moments of her kittens. Check out this series of photographs and squeal at the cute overload!

Grill-Out at Sunset Way – Sunset Grill — after holland village, Rochester Park, and the increasingly crowded Dempsey Road, where else can you find a hot dining enclave? The answer is Sunset Way! With its slew of 9 brand new restaurants, there is something for everyone.

Raffles Hotel: Snow-skin Mooncake with Champagne Truffle & Ganache — To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, I featured several unique and exotic mooncakes in a 3-parter series, with the champagne truffle mooncakes from Raffles Hotel as the first parter. Here are parts 2 and 3. And don’t forget the e-card!

Where in the World is This Miniature Model? — I found an incredibly detailed miniature model of Singapore in the mid-18th century. In the model, there are tiny human figurines going about their daily business, such as coolies unloading goods from junks, people playing cards by the shoreline, and spectators watching an opera show. Can you guess where I found it?
