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 write about it. But then I decided — because it was so bad, all the more I...

Food & Drink
I have been missing Niqqi’s the Cheese Prata Shop ever since graduating from NUS. All NUS staff and undergraduates, especially the hostel residents, would no doubt be very familiar with the eatery. As it is open 24/7, this is a popular place to grab late night supper. When I paid...

Dinner was at Orchard Cineleisure today. I have walked past Maestro Bistro at the second level umpteen times but this is the first time I am actually patronising the place. My most vivid impression of the bistro is that it sells all kinds of desserts and has gorgeous transparent chairs....
