Bosses – Dining in a Secret Society

I really thought I had run out of restaurants to visit at VivoCity! But this time, I found a new place to check out — bosses, a Chinese restaurant with a “secret society” (黑社会) concept. From what I saw, other than the name and the fact that all waitstaff wore uniforms with the Chinese characters “黑社会”, there was nothing particularly... Read more →

Brotzeit – Bier by the Pier

A couple of months back when I was totally free from any job engagement, i chilled out at Brotzeit one Sunday afternoon. It’s a German bar restaurant at VivoCity.

With toast, it gives me a good excuse not to learn cooking. My favorite is French toast... Read more →

The Station Kitchen – 3-in-1 Restaurant

st James power station is the newest clubbing hotspot in town. Opened only in mid December last year, it had been refurbished from an old power station. But that’s not it. This power station is also Singapore’s first coal-powered power plant and was built in 1927! That’s quite a bit of history isn’t it? Located at the Sentosa gateway and across... Read more →

The Mussel Guys! – Musselicious? Not Quite!

I must have eaten in three out of every four dining establishments at VivoCity. Yes, that is how often I go to that place. I would probably exhaust my dining options over there soon! But then again, new restaurants pop up every so often, such as the mussel guys, which opened just last month.“the mussel guys”. Ain’t that a cheeky name? Well I didn’t... Read more →
