On our way back to our AirBnB apartment on the Upper East Side, I spotted this diner named ‘3 Guys’ and for some weird reason, I wanted to go there for dinner. Thankfully one of my friends went along with my idea and after parking our car, we walked over for dinner. The diner itself was quite homely and judging from the menu, ‘3 Guys’ is trying to set itself as an Italian restaurant rather than an American diner. Nevertheless, they do have some American staples such as burgers. Ironically, I have been in the US for 3 days and...

Fattening Ourselves Up At IHOP
On our ‘road trip’ to the outlet stores in New York, we spied our little yes on IHOP along the highway. Making a detour, we went on our way to brunch at IHOP to load ourselves with the well known pancakes/waffles/crepes. What horrified me at first was the amount of calories stated for EACH dish. If that’s not enough to turn you off, I have no idea what. For once, we were choosing our meal based on the calories instead of the prices! Calmed myself down with herbal chamomile tea…before being amazed again at the bottles of syrup available. The...

Num Pang Cambodian Sandwich in NYC
My friend and I were crazy enough to walk the whole length of Central Park and by the time we reached the Times Square area, it was 2pm and we had worked up an appetite. For some weird reason, we turned into a corner and the street didn’t look the most touristy but we spotted Num Pang Cambodian Sandwich and we decided to eat lunch there. Their side tables with chairs was also a huge pull factor for us tired ladies who wanted to sit and eat. So sorry that I didn’t take any photos of our sandwiches because I...

Gluten Free Meal Aboard Singapore Airlines
Leaving on a jet plane to New York for my long awaited holiday! Woohoo!! And as I’ve probably mentioned several times, I’m currently cutting down on my gluten intake due to my endometriosis. Hence, I’m so happy that Singapore Airlines has several meal options to choose from:– vegetarian– gluten free– low carbohydrate (tried it before and it’s not that filling) I believe that there are some other options that you can choose from after you’ve selected your seats. Great, isn’t it? Anyway, I chose the gluten free option and like all other special meals, I got my food first! For...

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 until another couple trickled in about 10 minutes later. I like how the restaurant/cafe is named Re!Fill 😉 I ordered their Western set because at S$21.80++, it was a lot more worth it as most of their mains cost S$16++ and more. The set comes...

Sufood – Italian Inspired Vegetarian
A colleague of mine is vegetarian and so, when it came to her treating me to a farewell lunch, we opted for a vegetarian meal at Sufood. The great thing about Sufood is that it’s Italian-inspired so no mock meats!! Moreover, they also cater to vegans and all types of vegetarians so do let them know if you would like to leave out the garlic/onions from your meal. They have set lunches (S$21.90++ per pax) but you have to prompt them before they give that price to you. Otherwise, their full sets are S$29.90++ per pax although you can still order...

Whisk – Another Cafe At Tiong Bahru With Great Ambience & Cake
As mentioned previously, we went to Teru Sushi for dinner after which we decided to head onto the hipster area in Tiong Bahru. What caught our eye about Whisk is that it is starking white and at a corner, which used to house the famous Hong Kong Jin Tian Eating House (well known for its roast meats). Straight off the bat, we love the decor. It’s homely but yet spacious and gave us the vibe of both colonial house meets Perankan vintage. Love the tiles! They must’ve spent quite a bit on the reno as you can see from the...

$1 Oysters & Other Deliciousness At Teru Sushi
These wonderfully fresh and succulent oysters from Hiroshima are only S$1++ each! They’re delightfully topped with a bit of soy sauce, spring onions and grated radish. Yup, it’s really $1 each. Where is this place you ask? It’s Teru Japanese restaurant located at the boutique Link Hotel in Tiong Bahru. My friends and I went there to celebrate a birthday and I was sold when I was told that this place had $1 oysters. Mind you…I slurped down 8 of these babies. Soooo bad….but this is only on promotion till goodness knows when. Thus, eat them while they’re still bringing...

Changes in Bridge Cafe’s Set Lunch
Went to Bridge Cafe the other day and it has been about half a year since I’ve last visited them but this marks my 4th visit. So, it was a bit of a surprise to see that they’ve changed their Executive Set such that it’s only 1 standard 3-course meal. The prices have also increased from S$26.90 to S$29 AND if you choose the Beef Cheek Stew as your main, that’s another S$6 top up. So, here’s what my friend and I ordered for our starter: 62 Degree Organic Egg Those chunks of meat is the prosciutto di parma, which was...

Expensive Delicious Italian at Osteria Mozza
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 serves…pizza, while the other one serves up all the other lovely dishes that Italy is known for. With compliments of the chef After making our order, we were presented with a lovely starter of ricotta cheese with minced olives with basil. Was quite nice but...
