The Bravery @ 66 Horne Road

Its been a long long time since I last paid a visit to The Bravery but we decided to head there for brunch one Monday morning! I've always remembered the pancakes to be yummy so I recommended that to my partner-in-crime for the day while I grabbed a burger. Burger at 10am? Yupp, that's how I roll.

Ippin Cafe Bar @ Mohamed Sultan Road

Nestled in a corner on Mohamed Sultan Road, the relatively young Ippin Cafe Bar has ambition to be a homely restaurant and bar. Serving up classic Japanese home-style dishes, carrying an incredulous selection of sakes and beers and tons of products imported from Japan, patrons are seriously in for a treat here!

10 Best Earl Grey Desserts to Try in Singapore

Attention Earl Grey lovers! Here's a list that you might find useful and should totally try!

1933 @ Capitol Piazza

The latest project by The Breadtalk Group has sprouted up at the current hot sensation, Capitol Piazza. The 2-storey 80-seater is a little shy of a month old but it has rocked the food scene with its selection of fusion cuisine with a Southeast Asian touch.

Revelry @ Lorong Kilat

We popped by this bright and colourful space for dessert after our brunch at Rise & Grind. Five of us shared two dessert waffles

Journey with Yomeishu

When I was first spurred on by Kimberley to give a herbal liqueur a try, I was wondering if there was a new product in town. Growing up with the folks had me quite accustomed and familiar with the various kinds of herbal liqueurs in the market. Yet, like many in our generation, we steered away, or at least I did, from these herbal liqueurs as the appeal wasn’t there. They come across as something for the older generation, not as trendy as the various forms of alcohol close to our hearts. However, I didn’t see that I had anything to lose, especially now that the draining university examinations were over

(CLOSED)Bangkok's Famed Grilled Street Food @ Nara Thai

Nara Thai is constantly introducing new items to their menu to keep things fresh. They have just launched 15 new dishes that are inspired by Bangkok's famed grilled street food. Now you know where to go to feed your BKK cravings!

OpenSnap

One of the most common problems that Singaporeans face is choosing a cuisine or venue to enjoy a good meal. The newly updated OpenSnap App helps you to solve this problem easily and quickly. This app has an extensive listing of more than a million dining establishments and it works not just in Singapore, but also 7 neighbouring regions - Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and China.

Rise & Grind Coffee Co

The new kid in the Bukit Timah neighbourhood, Rise & Grind has been drawing a great amount of attention to the very old Bukit Timah Plaza. There's hardly any reason for me to go there except for some late night pool but Rise & Grind is almost reason enough for me to make a trip there specially. Because, that Tom Yum Pasta.

Yoruton Ramen @ Chabuton

Amidst the numerous ramen chains that have expanded to our shores, Chabuton Ramen has prided itself in offering specialty ramen, exploring the endless possibilities that the simple Japanese noodle dish can take on

Chabuton has launched its latest Yoruton Ramen congruent to the opening of their fourth outlet at Millenia Walk. The first-ever ramen chef to earn a Michelin star, Chef Yasuji Morizumi has created this particular ramen with five levels of spiciness to cater to the Singaporean taste bud. At $12.90, the ramen is priced lower than most of the ramen in the market

Hungry Heroes @ 33 Tessensohn Road

When you let a Captain America fanatic pick a dinner venue, this has to be it. We came to Hungry Heroes all hungry and expectant. The place was very nicely dolled up with life sized superhero models, tons of pictures and figurines. However, we were greeted with rather poor service on arrival and it kinda did affect the rest of the meal.

Trapped.SG Escape Room

Escape rooms have been all the rage for awhile now and I'm so glad that I visited Trapped.SG!

FUKU Fine Fugu Kaiseki Restaurant @ Mohamed Sultan Road

Media Invite


Fugu (pufferfish) is known for its ability to poison and kill, should it be ingested without being cleaned properly and thoroughly. Many have stayed away from fugu as a result. I am one of them, having heard a story from an acquaintance about his near death experience with fugu. I kinda made a promise to myself to never try it. But when the fugu is completely treated in Japan before being flown over, passing the stringent import regulations of the AVA and being prepared by the only licensed fugu chef out of Japan in Asia, there's really no reason good enough to stop me from trying fugu.

There are more than 120 fugu species in the world but only about 20 are fit for consumption. The Torafugu, which is the most premium pufferfish of all, is served right here at FUKU. 100% safe and only the best. Fugu is available at FUKU all year round and every edible part of the prized fugu is employed in the preparation of various dishes

Choya Cocktails @ Neon Pigeon

Media Invite


Made from the ume fruit, Choya is an all-natural traditional Japanese liqueur that requires a year to produce. The ume fruit has been commonly mistaken as plum but it is in actual fact, very different from plum. Choya is typically enjoyed right from the bottle or on the rocks but how does a Choya cocktail sound?

Happy Mookata @ Sunset Lane

Media Invite


Happy Mookata has opened its second outlet at the now rebranded Sunset Lane. It has a pretty large alfresco dining area and there are also seats indoors (airconditioned). At $25.90 nett, this eat-all-you-can mookata buffet is seriously a steal!

Fresh Fruits Lab

Heard pretty mixed reviews about FFL but somehow, I was still expecting to be impressed when we made our way here for dinner on a Sunday evening.

Bali Food Guide - 7 places to eat at

What to eat, where to eat, are two of the most researched topics when it comes to a holiday. And we bring you our Bali Food Guide that features 7 of the more noteworthy places that we went to!

The Carving Board

The Carving Board has taken the western part of our island by storm with its affordable and delectable selection. I popped by on Sunday night at 8pm and was the tenth person in the queue and little did I know that I would queue for 50 minutes just to place my order. Even though my food took about 20 minutes to arrive(which is short compared to the time I spent queuing), I was really unhappy about it. I mean, would you rather queue for 20 minutes and be able to sit down for 50 with your pals or would you rather stand and queue for 50 minutes and sit for 20? Well, I would rather the former.

That aside, I must say that the food was pretty good.

Cassia High Tea Set @ Nara Thai

Media Invite


Everyone enjoys high tea and ladies, especially, adore them. But have you heard of a Thai-style high tea? Possibly the first and only Thai High Tea in Singapore, Nara Thai has launched the Cassia High Tea Set which features Thai canapes and desserts. This three-tier set costs $29.90 for two but quote "STRICTLYOURS" upon ordering to enjoy a 50% discount off your second high tea set! Thats $11.20++ per pax for a party of four! How affordable is that!

Cream & Custard

I was super excited about the opening of Cream & Custard. I was checking their instagram page everyday! I love love love cakes and I just couldn't wait to see what C&C has to offer. I popped by on their opening day after work for some sweet treats that I managed to reserve earlier in the day

Mrs Lee's Favourites @ TAO Seafood Asia

Media Invite


Why Mrs Lee's Favourites, you might think. All the dishes in this Mother's Day menu are refined versions of homecooked dishes that Chef Lee Tong Kuon cooks on a regular basis for his lovely wife. Aptly named, with a very sweet story behind it, the Mother's Day menu at TAO did not disappoint and left us belly full and very happy

Pockets of Love @ Royal Pavilion

Media Invite


Mother's Day is just a week away! Have you already booked a table somewhere to celebrate this occasion with your family? Well, if you haven't, what better way to thank the heroines in your life, if not a dimsum feast at the elegantly dressed Royal Pavilion at Park Regis Hotel?

Ah B Cafe & Pawlicious

HAPPY FIFTH BIRTHDAY TO MY ONE TRUE LOVE AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!! Waffles the Maltese (IG @ wafflesthemaltese) just turned five and we held a birthday party for him, as usual. We pick a new dog cafe to go to every year and this year we've decided to pop by Ah B Cafe at Sunny Heights! Sunny Heights used to be K9 Kulture where I worked as a dog handler for about 10 months. It's essentially a dog daycare plus boarding place where there's a pool for your pooches too!

FYR focuses on the marriage of modern European cuisines with Asian spices and all their dishes are prepared using the Josper Charcoal Oven with lychee wood.

Lunch Buffet Extraordinaire @ KUVO

Media Invite


KUVO is derived from the French word cuvée, which means "blend". A good name indeed because KUVO is a masterpiece of multiple concepts coming together in a 9513 square feet space in the heart of Orchard. Located on the second level of Orchard Shopping Centre, diners get a sense of being away from the hustle and bustle of the city but are in fact, sitting right in the middle of it. Orchard has just gotten more exciting with this one stop wonder of bespoke cocktails, New World wines, international cuisine and pretty gift shop

Gyu-Kaku @ CHIJMES

Media Invite


When life presents you with such intensely marbled Kuroge Wagyu from Kagoshima, what do you do? Well, I took a few moments to admire its beauty and thank the Gods before entrusting the experts to cook this to perfection. Then, I prepared myself for the fireworks that were about to go off in my mouth. I've had alot of barbecued beef, having been in Korea for a month. And even the best one that we had, which was really damn good, didn't come close to this.

Straits Express @ Kallang Wave

Media Invite


Helmed by Peranakan chef, Philip Chia, Penang-born street-food chef, Frankie Ooi, and our very own Anglo-Hainanese chef, Bermuda Say, can you guess the three types of cuisine served at this railway-themed restaurant?

Paying tribute to Singapore's colonial heritage and set on creating a dining establishment where they can reminisce their childhoods, the owners of Straits Express decided on a concept that evokes nostalgia and a menu boasting delicious and familiar comfort fare

Temper by ANJALI CHOCOLAT

Media Invite


ANJALI CHOCOLAT has relocated from Pasarbella at Turf City to Loewen Road, next to Dempsey. With its new location, comes a spanking new chocolate studio, Temper. Tucked deep inside Loewen Road, this is not the easiest place to find, and impossible to get to without private transport but it might just be worth the effort if you're looking for premium chocolates crafted from the finest ingredients (think French butter, Belgian Chocolate etc).

Ippudo @ Shaw Centre

Media Invite


A name that always pops into minds when ramen comes into question is Ippudo. Ippudo is a global chain that has achieved remarkable success in many countries. The fifth and newest Ippudo outlet, in Singapore, has opened in the heart of Orchard. Located in Shaw Centre, do note that the easiest way to get here is to take the elevators in the office tower, opposite Pacific Plaza, to level 4.

(CLOSED) New Menu @ The Missing Pan

Media Invite


The Missing Pan is a popular brunch spot and the snaking queue for brunch on weekends proves how famous their sous vide eggs and French toast are. Just a week ago, The Missing Pan introduced a brand new menu that boasts of delicious fare that absolutely calls for a dinner visit. And may I advise that you pop by soon, before the place gets too crowded to even score a reservation!

Montana Brew Bar

Media Invite 


Montana Brew Bar and Nookie Yogurt have taken the island by storm ever since their opening. With Montana Brew Bar boasting innovative and highly affordable waffles and Nookie Yogurt booting out deconstructed desserts in yogurt parfait form, its no wonder that these two establishments were an instant hit. And very cleverly connected to each other at PoMo too.

(CLOSED) The Mama Shop

Late to the party, but at least I'm finally here! Kinda waited for all the craze to die down first before making a trip here. Popped by for brunch with Derrick and Charleen on a Sunday afternoon and I was honestly shocked to see the place empty, save for a blogshop holding a photoshoot. I'd expected this place to be packed to the brim, especially with all the publicity that it had had and its celebrity owners.

New Set Lunch Menu @ Caffe B

Media Invite


Amidst designer labels and luxury brands on the second level of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sand is Caffe B, a restaurant that dishes out Italian-Japanese cuisine. You would think that a meal here will cost a bomb but the daily set lunch menu is surprisingly affordable. We'll let you decide if its worth a visit

Fiji Water Dessert Platter @ The Exchange

Media Invite


Wednesdays at The Exchange have always been a madhouse. Packed to the brim with executives and partygoers, Ladies Night here is a weekly affair not to be missed! Now that Ladies Night has been revamped with the addition of more alcoholic beverages for ladies, there's seriously no reason for you not to come by! But the highlight of it all, is most definitely the launch of the Fiji Water Dessert Platter!

(CLOSED) 1 Market by Chef Wan

Media Invite


1 Market is a 450-seater Halal restaurant located in the new wing of the amped up Plaza Singapura. Well known for its buffet spread, they have been the choice venue for a great number of events, including wedding receptions. Now that Chinese New Year is here, 1 Market has introduced a Prosperity Yusheng with homemade Thai sauce to celebrate this joyous occasion

MEDZS Bistro & Bar

Media Invite


Right smack in the middle of the CBD, in Clifford Centre, is MEDZS, a name familiar to most. They have recently launched a breakfast menu tailored specially to cater to the needs of the working crowd. The Scrambled Eggs with Chicken Sausage, Mushroom and Bacon($5.90), featured above, is just one of many pocket-friendly breakfast fixes available
