Every Mid-Autumn Festival, I look forward to two things. One is the sight of children carrying lanterns and lighting candles at night. That innocent scene always brings back fond childhood memories. The other is the Raffles Hotel mooncakes. More specifically, the legendary snow-skin mooncakes with champagne truffle and ganache. It’s...
In Malaysia, I indulged in one of the best nasi lemak (rice cooked in coconut milk) I’ve ever had in my life at Madam Kwan’s. Since then, I have been wondering if we can enjoy the same thing in Singapore. With some googling, I struck gold. Grandma’s at Orchard Parade...
The Christmas tree at Raffles City shopping centre literally stops traffic. With its sheer height of 18 metres standing smack in the middle of the city area, it sure draws a lot of looks from passers-by and commuters on the road. Doesn’t the pattern on this tree somewhat resemble one...
If you are a fan of Marché, the Swiss-run restaurant at VivoCity, or even its imitator at The Heeren, chances are you would love Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar. Shokudo shares the similar concept of having several cooking stations under one roof, charge cards and themed dining, but with Japanese cuisine...
The Mid-Autumn Festival, or Moon Festival if you prefer, is here again! Of course, what’s Moon Festival without mooncakes right? Therefore over the next 3 days, I would be featuring some unique and yummilicious mooncakes. We’ll start off with my most favourite mooncakes of all – champagne truffle and ganache...
One Sunday afternoon, I chilled out at Brotzeit. It’s a German bar restaurant at VivoCity. Enjoying a good ol’ German beer in the alfresco area overlooking the sea (with Sentosa in the distance) was totally relaxing! Credit Seriously, nothing beats having a stress-free day drinking beer by the sea. Since...
Just when I thought it would be a long time before I find another restaurant that’s worth raving about (like graze), along comes one that rekindles my hope. Aerin’s, a modern European restaurant, is one of the bigger eating establishments at the Raffles City marketplace. With its dining area spread...
I spotted this tree as I was passing by Raffles City on a bus. Well I haven’t actually had the chance to take a picture of it myself, so all credits go to my ex-boss and friend, Allan, for this high quality and very well taken picture. I thought this...
Today’s Tree of the Day is a wee little fella. We found him sitting on our table at Straits Café, Rendezvous Hotel. We were having a Christmas buffet and every dining table had its own little Christmas tree. I thought that was a very nice touch! Restaurants hardly ever do...
I like Raffles Marketplace, located at the basement of Raffles City Shopping Centre, with its range of stores such as Crumpler, Roxy, MPH bookstore. Of course, what’s even better is the extensive lot of restaurants such as Din Tai Fung and Aerin’s, and take-out outlets like Chippy British Take Away....
