(CLOSED)Shinkei Japanese Restaurant @ Lorong 4 Toa Payoh

In the heart of Toa Payoh lies Shinkei Japanese Restaurant, an establishment that offers affordable Japanese lunch and dinner sets as well as a à la carte buffet!

The main highlight and my absolute favourite was the Sashimi Moriawase. The luscious platter is served on a bed of ice. Each thick slab felt and tasted so fresh. There were different types available: tuna, yellow tail, salmon, swordfish, snapper, octopus and squid. The yellow tail in particular was divine. It was wonderfully sweet, chilled and fresh. I would just keep ordering sashimi till my heart and stomach’s content.

Fu Lin Men Dou Lao @ North Canal Road

Fu Lin Men Dou Lao has been opened since April 2015 but they haven't done much publicity till now because the star behind the dishes and cuisine here has only managed to come to Singapore recently.  Master Chef Nian who is the two-time winner of the grand Manchu and Han Royal Imperial Court Feast (known as “Man Han Quan Xi”) culinary quest by China Central Television is the brilliant mind behind much of the conceptualisation of the menu. 

Atlas Coffeehouse @ Duke's Road

The good people behind my favourite coffee haunt, Assembly Coffee, has opened up Atlas in a more accessible spot in Bukit Timah. With an expanded menu and a bigger space, I wasn't the least bit surprised to find Atlas packed to the brim as I walked in on their second day of operation.

Wo Peng Cuisine @ Eu Tong Sen Street (Furama Hotel)

Helmed by Platinum Award Winner Hong Kong Chef Julian Tam, Wo Peng stands at two outlets and they have been dishing out authentic Cantonese cuisine with a touch of modern flair. Chinese New Year is just around the corner and if your family is looking to dine at a Cantonese restaurant, read on to find out what Wo Peng has to offer.

Oh My Tian @ Whampoa West

Oh My Tian is the work of the people who brought you the highly popular Hatter Street at Hougang. So if you're thinking that this plate of waffles looks incredibly familiar, it is because you probably have seen or tasted it before. We ordered a Whoaffles with Vanilla Icecream and Salted Caramel Sauce ($9.50) to share and it did not disappoint with that crisp exterior and dense insides. It is definitely one of the better waffles that I've had in Singapore. My only gripe was that a part of the waffles was slightly bitter and it might have been a tad burnt.

Sakura International Buffet @ Clementi Woods

One of the most popular and longest standing buffet places in the west, Sakura International Buffet has recently added a very well-loved dish to their selection. Can you guess what it is?

Non Entrée Desserts @ Rangoon Road

Taking over Woodshed on Rangoon Road is a cafe that serves up innovative and instagram-worthy sweet treats. Apart from their signature desserts, they have waffles and cakes too.

Dessert Project @ Havelock Road

Dessert Project sits in a quiet neighbourhood and their thick toast has been tauted as one of the best in Singapore. I've never had thick toast prior to this and I was so glad that my first time was an exceptional one.

Dosirak @ China Square Central

A pair of Korean brothers are behind Dosirak, which is located inside China Square Central in the CBD. Dosirak boasts fresh and affordable boxes of healthy Korean fare. More of a grab-and-go concept to cater to the working crowd, patrons are in the know of what they're consuming with a detailed chart of the number of calories inside every box.

Legendary Cart Noodles 傳奇車仔面 @ Jurong Point 2

The origins of cart noodles date back to the 1950s in Hong Kong when it was a common sight to see street hawkers peddling bowls of noodles from their carts in the less affluent areas. At present day, the street hawker trade has dwindled but these iconic cart noodles still continue to thrive as a Hong Kong favourite.

(CLOSED)King Feast New Year's Eve Menu @ Salt Tapas & Bar (Raffles City)

The luxurious King Feast at Salt Tapas & Bar is truly fit for royalty. Diners can choose from two variations, land or sea, and I promise you that both are equally good. I prefer the sea version which had oysters, lobster, brown crab and rainbow trout, but the land one was really fantastic too. This menu is only available on New Year's Eve and if you're looking for a great evening filled with wonderful food, great vibes, nice music and commendable service, this might just be the place for you!

Christmas 2015 @ InterContinental Singapore

Nobody does a party better than InterContinental Singapore. I was dazzled by the huge ballroom cast in purple glow and dressed up like a winter wonderland. Stepping into the ballroom felt like I was stepping into some sort of fairytale.
