The family and I went to watch the musical “Singin’ In The Rain” at Marina Bay Sands so we decided to eat at the restaurant just opposite the theatre so as to save time. That restaurant is split into two sections: Osteria Mozza and Pizza Mozza. As you can tell from the names, Pizza Mozza...

Dim Sum at Tim Ho Wan – Be Prepared For Foodporn
I finally managed to get a dim sum fix at the 1 Michelin-starred Tim Ho Wan at their latest branch located at Aperia, Kallang. The queue really isn’t too bad as it moves quite quickly but of course, if you’re in a smaller group, you’ll get seated a lot faster. This review is based on...
