And so, one of Singapore’s famous food critic has set up her own restaurant and in the swanky new National Gallery no less! Sticking to her Peranakan roots, National Kitchen serves up Peranakan cuisine with slight twists on some of the dishes. There isn’t any pork in the menu but I did not spot any...

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...

And that is the basis of The Public Izakaya by the Hachi group, located at 100AM in Tanjong Pagar. On a warm day, you may want to sit inside the air-conditioned area but...

A Tea A Day To Keep The Blues Away
I’ve been down with the flu for the past 2 weeks and it has been quite miserable with the blocked nose and sore throat. This flu is my healing crisis from my parasite cleansing and when one is sick, one reaches for comfort and for me, one of that is tea. Since Hi-Tea has a special blend...

Trip Down Memory Lane with Sinalco Special and Kickapoo
I would like to thank POKKA Singapore and CohnWolfe for sending me this super cute and nostalgic CNY hamper! Besides the drinks, I super love the old chocolate snacks like Ding Dang and the Blowing Ball thingies…really a walk down memory lane for me and I felt like a child going to the mamak shop....

Sing HK Cafe Tastes Like Home Food
Dad read about Sing HK Cafe in the newspaper last Sunday and he decided to bring us there for dinner. Apparently, the writeup sang praises of their Sirloin Steak and Oxtail (served only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays). Sing HK Cafe is what is commonly known as a cha chan teng in Hong Kong, which serves up...
