Roast at One Rochester – Let’s Partake in Communal Dining

Can you name one place in Singapore that offers the most memorable dining experience? For me, that would most certainly be Rochester Park. Whether it is the 1930s heritage colonial bungalows or the lush garden setting, the environment is one-of-a-kind. In terms of unique ambience, I would be hard-pressed to find another place that comes close. The last time I visited One Rochester, one of the 8 tenants at Rochester Park, it was a wine bar where drinks were the main draw. With the introduction of... Read more →

Charco’s – Flaming Goodness!

For some reason, when an ang moh opens a Western food stall in the heartland, Singaporeans would throng the place. Maybe the food tastes more authentic. Or maybe the mental image of a sweaty ang moh preparing your steak makes it all the more appealing. I think it was the wildly popular Botak Jones that first started the craze.

graze Anniversary Party – Of Champagne & Canapés

It was a night of glitz, free-flowing drinks and food-tasting of a brand new menu at the graze anniversary party. When it comes to food and ambience, graze certainly does not disappoint! As you guys know, I decided to spice things up a little. I wanted a blog reader to be my date at the party and asked you guys to email me if you were interested.

graze at Rochester Park – Christmas Dinner

I had been wanting to check out Rochester Park for the longest time. That place is new to me but from what I’d heard, it’s like holland village, only less crowded. So for Christmas dinner I suggested Rochester Park and let my friend fernando make all the arrangements (while I happily attended the city harvest church Christmas production, but more on that later). Only when I arrived at the place did I realise it was nothing like holland village! Houses that were formerly colonial bungalows... Read more →
