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 wait staff...
One of my favourite places for pasta is Ambush. It is tucked within the gourmet section of the Takashimaya basement food court. Not only are the pastas affordable, they are super yummy too. In particular the seafood dishes, which I have a soft spot for. I like to call this...
Following that highly expensive dim sum meal at Tung Lok Teahouse, my family and I went hunting around town for a much cheaper alternative. We believe we have found our answer in Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant! To make up for its relatively inaccessible location at Turf City, the dim sum...
Let me just begin by saying that Wild Rocket is one awesome, awesome restaurant. My main purpose in going there is to try out the desserts, more specifically, the warm chocolate lava cake. Whether the main courses are any good is of secondary importance to me. But boy, do they...
Fish lovers would be spoilt for choice at codfish village. This neighbourhood stall in Toa Payoh, tucked at the first level of a HDB block, serves up more than 30 codfish dishes! With a name like this, you can certainly expect nothing less. Despite its humble location, the prices here...

Ayam Penyet Ria is an Indonesian restaurant with franchises in Jakarta, Medan, Batam, Surabaya and now, Singapore. Apparently it...
There was a period of time when I travelled to Malaysia frequently. But due to work, I have stopped going there for over a year! Last weekend I finally went to Johor Bahru with a friend. New eateries have opened at City Square, a shopping mall there in which the...
After closing its two franchise outlets here and being briefly absent from the Singapore restaurant scene, the Swiss chain of Marché restaurants is back! It has returned with a spanking new restaurant at VivoCity and a second outlet at 313@Somerset. Unlike before when it was run by a local franchisee,...
Each time I am looking for a nice dining place at Bugis Junction, I would take one look at Ma Maison and give it a miss. Why? The exterior of this restaurant looks rundown. Its tiny entrance leading into a dark place doesn’t exactly look inviting either. But some weeks...
Do you like toast? I happen to love it! Toast ranks right next to waffles and pancakes as one of my favourite snacks. With the commonest ingredients and a toaster (or charcoal), you can easily whip up some toast and it doesn’t even take much time. More importantly, it is...
