Madeleine’s Original Portuguese Egg Tart & Puff – Warm, Custardy Deliciousness

McDonald’s Wasabi Filet-O-Fish – A Karai Sensation

Do you like eating spicy food? Spicy food can probably be classified into two categories: the sinus-clearing wasabi-spicy or the tongue-burning chili-spicy. Which do you prefer? For me, I certainly love both! If you have passed by the golden arches recently, you may have noticed their new wasabi range of filet-o-fish and shaker fries. The restaurant promises it would give... Read more →

Kuehs and Snacks – Aunts’ and Grannies’ Best

In the mood for Teochew kueh (chinese pastry, typically steamed)? Get it all at kuehs and snacks, a bakery shop along Bukit merah lane (near Alexandra Village food centre). While its English name is descriptive enough, I personally prefer the shop’s endearing Chinese name, which translates to “aunts’ and grannies’ Teochew kueh”. This air-conditioned... Read more →

Tong Heng – Tasty Traditional Chinese Pastries

The Tong Heng confectionery has a long history dating back to 1920. This humble little shop in Chinatown is best-known for churning out popular Chinese pastries such as egg custard tarts (in a distinctive diamond shape) and wife cakes.

Rich & Good Cake Shop – This Is How They Roll!

Swiss roll fans definitely wouldn’t want to miss this. Or all pastry fans, for that matter. This little bakery has been raved about time and again by journalists and bloggers alike. Yet I find it absolutely necessary to blog about it at least once, in case some of you do not know of it. It is here where you might find the best Swiss roll in Singapore. And that’s... Read more →

Blue Magnolia – Pretty, Petite Savories

Courtesy of the SMU gourmet club, I went on a food-tasting session over the weekend. It was a day filled with sweet and savory delights! Well, calories too. We had to jet from place to place but it’s okay — everyone was pumped high on sugary goodness! The first venue of the day was Blue Magnolia along macpherson road. It’s a petite little cafe with 80... Read more →

Pret a Manger – Chicken’s Involved, Pig’s Committed [Closed]

Pret a Manger is a chain of trendy sandwich bars from Britain that make fresh sandwiches in-house daily. The name “Pret a Manger” is in French, which means “ready to eat”. Some time last year, pret opened its first outlet in Singapore. Strategically based in robinson road, pret is a hot spot for office workers that are too busy to sit down for a... Read more →

Chippy British Take Away – Takes Your Breath Away

Okay okay, I know I’m a little late in this. This was only my first time eating from Chippy British Take Away. I was window shopping at Raffles City, got hungry, and wanted to sit down at a nice restaurant for some sumptuous dinner. 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 →

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 →

Canadian Pizza

A new Canadian Pizza outlet just opened in my neighborhood. Like its other outlets across the island, it is strictly for pizza delivery and does not have any dining area for customers. I love Canadian Pizza for their huge variety of pizza flavours. They have a permanent 2-for-1 pizza promotion. The cheapest pizza starts from $21.90. (more…)  Read more →
