Went to Jumbo Seafood Restaurant at their flagship restaurant at East Coast Park to celebrate the parents’ birthday early (thanks to my bro who’ll be overseas for a month).

Fire In The Belly (and more) At Yoogane
Photo credit: Yoogane Singapore I’ve seen the long queues at Yoogane’s Bugis Junction branch and I’ve always wondered what the fuss is all about.

Went to Meidi-ya one day with the parents after having a Japanese curry dinner and these 2 bags of crisps caught my eye. Thank you UK for the interesting flavours! The large bag of Guinness chips (S$5.95) tasted like lightly salted potato chips with a very slight aftertaste of stout. I really don’t mind having...

Gourmet-like Burgers at Fat Boy’s – The Burger Bar
With a name like “Fat Boy’s”, you know that you need to keep your trip to this joint a secret from your cardiologist. Just as the name suggests, chuck out your diet and just enjoy a burger. If burger isn’t your thing, there are other ‘healthier’ options such as salads (expect the meat toppings) and...
