Back in my Junior College days when we didn’t have much money, gatherings with friends were limited to meals at McDonald’s. Only on special occasions, like when it’s someone’s birthday, would we enjoy the rare treat of dining at places like Fish & Co. I remember there was once when...
I have GREAT news for Bakerzin fans. The cafés now serve free water! Oops, that’s not it. (it’s true though.) throughout the month of July, they are selling their macarons at just $0.90 each! If you’ve yet to try out this cute French pastry, this is the perfect opportunity! With...
Update: This promotion has ended. Swensen’s is offering a 1-for-1 weekday lunch promotion from 11am to 2pm at all its restaurants. This promotion is certainly a great deal! So if I were you, I would check out their menu and start planning my next meal! Click to enlarge Terms &...

Some time back, I tweeted and proclaimed Old Town White Coffee to be the best 3-in-1 instant coffee ever. Despite the rather brazen statement, given that I haven’t tasted most of the instant coffee out there, some of my followers agreed. Even after a year, during which I did try...
Calling all night owls! If you’re looking for a nice supper place to grab some chow, you can visit Mr. Teh Tarik Cartel! As the name suggests, you can find teh tarik here plus a gazillion other drinks. There’s Milo Dinosaur, teh halia (ginger tea), various ice blended drinks, just...
Local café chain Bakerzin has updated its menu for 2008! The reason that keeps me going there is that the team of chefs serve up a mean seafood pasta. And let’s not forget the oh-so-sinful-and-yummilicious chocolate lava cake too. But with this new 2008 menu, I’ve found a third good...
