But this brightly lit red little booth caught my eye.It’s Chippy British Take Away! With that striking union jack, the cheery... Read more →

Secret Ingredient in Your Favorite Chicken

ever wondered why the food served at restaurants seems to taste so good sometimes? Or how their chicken in particular is always so savory and tasty? I am one of those people who love dining out since no one in my family is a particularly good cook. But we all know that food prepared anywhere else other than at home tends to be a little less healthy (and less hygienic)... Read more →

The Mushroom Pot – Mush Room for Improvement

I have been contemplating whether to spend any time blogging on the Mushroom Pot. My dining experience at this restaurant was so excruciatingly bad I didn’t really want to remember it, much less talk about it. But then I decided — because it was so bad, all the more I have to warn my readers about this place! So here goes. We were at the Singapore indoor stadium... Read more →

I Have Graduated!

Yes it’s over. It really is. After 15 years of slogging (or rather slacking), I am officially no longer a student. I have finally graduated!The commencement ceremony was held yesterday night.

Coldplay’s year-long Twisted Logic tour finally came to Singapore! And I was one of the lucky souls who caught their one-off concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium!

But... Read more →

Rocher & the Candy That Doesn’t Make You Fat

Once you carefully peel open the gold foil, there are so many ways to eat this yummy piece of chocolate. You can savor the Rocher layer by layer, or pop the whole chocolatey goodness into your mouth and chew it down greedily at one go. I am not blogging... Read more →

50 Things in the 80s Childhood

If any of these seems familiar, you are probably a Singaporean who had your childhood in the 80s or early 90s. Being a 1984 baby, I found myself chuckling as I went down the list identifying with many of the things listed. It really... Read more →

Niqqi’s the Cheese Prata Shop – Not for People on the Move

I have been missing niqqi’s the cheese prata shop ever since I left NUS. All NUS staff and students would no doubt be very familiar with the place, especially the hostel residents. Being open 24/7, the cheese prata shop is a popular hangout to get late night supper. I happened to be back in NUS recently and used the rare opportunity to drop by for my favorite roti... Read more →

Daun Pandan Rice Dumpling – Real Sticky Goodness

The dragon boat festival (端午节) may be long over, rice dumplings (粽子) still remain my current favorite food. For the past one month or so I have been eating myself fat with all these dumplings — and I don’t even care! Over at my place it’s dumpling festival everyday. (more…)  Read more →

Since 1993, it has been slated as a conservation site by the URA.The double storey shophouses have since been converted into an interesting mélange of café bars and food outlets. The... Read more →
