With the Korean wave, they have brought to us one of their desserts – Patbingsoo. Honestly, this is not very new. We have Ice Kachang in Singapore and kakigori in Japan. We humans seem to like to put fruit, nuts, syrup and ice cream on a bed of ice. Above and below is their Sinsa...

Value For Money Donburi by Sushiro
My dad has been wanting to try the donburi (rice bowls) from Sushiro ever since he read the review in the Straits Times. Hence, we were all made to wake up early (by my standards at least) so that we could reach there around noon and avoid the crowd. Which I was surprised to see...

Mexican Delight With Barrio by Mex Out
I’m not a huge fan of Mexican food but I have to admit to a fondness towards grilled corn, tacos and guacamole. Mmm…avocado…yum! So I decided to check out Mex Out’s latest Barrio branch at Vivo City and here’s what we ordered. We went with 2 starters: Grilled Corn (top, S$7.90++) and fried Stuffed Jalepeno...

Great Ice Cream And Waffles At Creamier
Waffles with ice cream (Sea Salt Gula Melaka, Black Sesame and Pistachio) I love myself a good waffle and ice cream. And I don’t mean those soft excuses of a waffle often sold at $2 at a nearby neighbourhood bakery (although those are quite tasty). I like them crispy on the outside but fluffy on...

Apparently, the writeup sang praises of their Sirloin Steak and Oxtail (served only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays).

Jack Ripper Burgers and More
Headed over to Alexandra Village (AV) with Dad and Bro for lunch and we decided to go over to the more hipster side of AV where I notice that the stall that De’Burg had vacated is now another burger joint named ‘Jack Ripper’. Don’t ask me whey they named it after a notorious serial killer...

More Than Matcha At Nana’s Green Tea
Kinoko Hamburg Steak With Millet Rice After walking and feeling absolutely miserable walking in our hot and humid weather, I hungrily settlled at Nana’s Green Tea at Plaza Singapura for dinner. I had always associated Nana’s with dessert so this time round, I decided to try out their mains. I ordered their Kinoko Hamburg Steak...

Dessert Time At Momofuku Milk Bar
So, chef David Chang in NYC set up a chain of restaurants and cafes named Momofuku and since we drove to Brooklyn and Williamsburg, I decided to try out the famous Momofuku Milk Bar. As the name suggests, the menu of the store is all about milk and the sweet stuff related to it. They’re...

Hotel Re! Pearl’s Hill Serves Up Disappointing Set
Heard my parents rave about Hotel Re’s Abalone Laksa and I’ve also heard the same thing from a friend, so I thought that I’d be treated to a good meal when I went to Hotel Re! last week for dinner. First shocker was that it was super empty. My family was the only ones there...
