1-for-1 Omakase – Best deal in Singapore!

Restaurant: Maru, Icon Village, 12 Gopeng St #01-05 to 11, Singapore 078877 Date visited: April 2018 Omakase is usually reserved for special dates or events, because although they can be really mind-blowing, but they are usually pricey and served in small portions. I mean, they say that good things come in small packages right? Imagine how mind-blown we were when we tried this Chef’s Table menu which was delicious AND on a 1-for-1 deal? WHATTT! Okay, enough talk – here’s more about the menu (and plenty of pictures for you to drool over). Omakase Set Menu (1-for-1 @ $78++) *with complimentary 250ml of cold Sake 3 Kinds of Appetizer Fresh Oyster with Smoked Tomato Sherbet 5 Kinds of Assorted Sashimi Grilled Seasonal Item 2 Kinds of Raw Sushi 2 Kinds of Aburi Sushi Soup of the Day Dessert I really enjoyed the sashimi here! Most of my friends know that I don’t really…

CulinaryOn: Your Next Couple Bonding / Team Bonding Activity in SG!

Forget testing your relationship with another Ikea Project – CulinaryOn’s Cooking Academy is the next date idea which will teach you both life skills AND teamwork skills. Lucky for me, (and unlucky for J) we got to experience an awesome session with the CulinaryOn team learning how to cook various fancy dishes with cheese! Ever since moving in together, I’ve taken cooking more seriously. After all, it is a way of making sure my man is well-fed, content and still healthy (omg, i feel so domesticated now). That means lesser nights of one-pot pasta with sausages as the main ingredient and more attempts at 三菜一汤 (3 veg 1 soup). Once in a while the rice ends up undercooked and crunchy and the sambal veggies a tad too salty, but overall it’s been a great experience. So when we had the opportunity to attend a class at CulinaryOn, I did not…

Edge, Pan Pacific Dinner Buffet Review – Must-Go!

Date Visited: May 2017 Buffet: Hooked@Edge Dinner Buffet (Wednesdays & Thursdays) Mother’s Day was around the corner and celebrations always meant buffets for my family (that’s why my diet plans never worked out). Since it was the choice of my mom, that meant that the buffet needed a good range of Asian food (we always know someone who goes to hotel buffets and only eat stuff like laksa, chicken rice etc right – that’s my mom) This time, Edge @ Pan Pacific was chosen and it BLEW MY MIND, and my diet too ya. Here’s my review & items you absolutely must try in this buffet! VARIETY Variety was UHMAYZING, ok? Usually buffets tend to be strong in a certain cuisine (eg. Asian) and so-so in the others, or overall not bad, but very few options of each cuisine. Edge was crazy good. Western, Italian, Local, Asian, Japanese … all there. And except…

d’Good’s NEW Darn Good Durian & Coconut Skillet Pancakes (Must-Try)

Date visited: March 2017 Durian lovers, stop whatever you are doing and appreciate this for a moment. That’s right, d’Good Café has launched new menu items and one of it is this glorious Durian & Coconut Skillet Pancake ($13). Generous amount of D24 pure durian flesh (legit, guys!) with creamy vanilla ice cream and housemade coconut sables (crunchy bites) topped with palm sugar syrup. MMMMMM The hot skillet pancake goes extremely well with the creamy durian flesh and cold ice cream – together they are super creamy but light, with textures from the pancake and the sables. Conclusion: Must-Try. Even J, who doesn’t like durian grudgingly said it was not bad 😀 Score! Other new items to check out: Bonito Benedict ($14) If you are bored of the usual Eggs Benny and Eggs Benny Royale, here’s a new item for you to try. It’s Japanese inspired and reminds…

Farm To Table (Tanjong Pagar Centre) – Fresh Produce at Damn Good Prices!

Did you know that Tanjong Pagar has a new shopping mall right at the MRT called Tanjong Pagar Centre? There are quite a few cool F&B places there (plus retail too!) like Cocorica Plus, Food Anatomy, Japan Rail Café and Seattle Pike Chowder– perfect for people who work in the CBD area looking for lunch options! However, what really impressed me the most was this marketplace called Farm To Table – a place specialising in fresh Australian produce, which are air-flown to Singapore. When I think about quality Australian meat and fruits, I normally associate it with a hefty price tag. I mean, quality is very important, but cannot be pay $20 for premium apples right? Even if my stomach feel shiok, my pocket will cry. WRONG! To be frank, what drew me into the store was this sign. Like any bargain-hunting auntie, my bargain-radar was alerted quickly and I…

Yogurtland from USA is here in Singapore! (Must-Try)

Date visited: December 2016 Address: Suntec City Mall #B1-165/166 (Near the fountain of wealth) As much as I love a good scoop of homemade ice-cream, frozen yogurt is my go-to treat on a hot day! Light, tart, refreshing and low-fat, what’s there not to like? In fact, during my one year stay in North Carolina, fro-yo was one of the popular hang-out places for my friends and I. I loved the HUGE fro-yo stores with rows and rows of different flavours that we could mix and match however we liked. There would also be a toppings bar with everything from granola, nuts to sweets and chocolate. In fact, after I came back to Singapore, I often lamented that there was nothing quite like that experience here, since most fro-yo stores serve the yogurt in fixed cup sizes and charge per topping. So as you can tell, I was pretty excited…

Hoshino Coffee – Hidden Gem with the Fluffiest Pancakes!

Date visited: October 2016 Before this visit, I’ve seen Hoshino around plenty of times but only tried it once for coffee. I’m super glad to have been invited there to properly try their food because now I’ve got a new favourite place to hangout. Let me show you some of their delicious food – try not to drool! #1. Double Pancake Souffle Style ($12) These are literally the fluffiest pancakes I’ve EVER seen. They taste like the good-old McDonald’s pancakes BUT so much fluffier and better! I love how they give you enough syrup to enjoy the pancakes with, as well as homemade whipped butter. If it’s not enough for you, you can go for their Chocolate Banana version or add a Softee on top – but trust me, these are delicious. What’s more, they are freshly baked to order! It’s been weeks since I’ve had it, but I’m just…

5 Reasons To Get Your Salted Egg Yolk Fix @ Bread Society/BreadTalk

Like many others, I’ve been sampling many salted egg yolk dishes recently – what’s there not to love? Thick, creamy, sweet & salty – all in one bite. It’s so good, it literally goes with anything – waffles, ice cream, cakes, donuts, bread, crabs, veggies… you get my point. It’s such a big thing that salted egg yolk dishes are sprouting up everywhere, and people are rushing around to try each one (me included, guilty as charged!). We chanced upon The Bread Society today (ION, food basement) and was surprised to see signs promoting their salted egg yolk croissants, and we thought – why not? We bought a box of 6 for $5.50 and OH MY… I could gush about it all day, but to spare you from dying of boredom, here’s 5 reasons why you should drop by and get yourself some. Like now. Price at The Bread Society: 1…
