Hong Kong’s dim sum restaurant, Tim Ho Wan is hailed as the world’s cheapest Michelin Starred restaurant. At S$13 per person (especially considering the amount of food we ordered), I believe this is very much true. We chanced upon this hole in the wall when hubby came across a report on this restaurant on a food magazine. After walking for miles (because we did not quite know which MTR station to alight from), we finally arrived at the restaurant, only to realise that a huge crowd of locals had already gathered in front of the restaurant, eagerly waiting to be served brunch.
Thankfully, we didn’t have to wait [...]

After reading reviews about this restaurant from websites and the Miele Guide, we decided on a recent trip to Hong Kong that a visit to this place is a must. We were surely not disappointed. We arrived at the restaurant early, as we did not make a reservation, and were fortunate to get a seat as the restaurant filled up pretty quickly afterwards.
Dinner began with their house specialty, which is served to all their guests. Yung Kee’s century eggs are preserved by the restaurant’s chefs using a special recipe and hence tasted very different from the ones we are used to. The centre of the egg is [...]

I caught up with some dear girlfriends from church the other day. I picked Riders’ Cafe as the last time I visited, they were having a power outage. We loved how the place takes us away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Staring at the greenery out of the window, enjoying the view of horses training was indeed very relaxing.
We were too late for breakfast and had to order from their lunch menu. I ordered a crabmeat pasta which honestly, was unspectacular. They were rather generous with their crabmeat and shaved parmesan, but sadly, the crabmeat was not quite fresh.
Girlfriends decided to [...]

We had a visitor from New Zealand and so decided that an introductory trip to the Singaporean’s favourite dish – Chilli Crab was in due. A friend suggested Jumbo seafood restaurant so off we went. We patronised the branch at Dempsey, seeing this as a wonderful opportunity to introduce this part of Singapore to our guest as well.
Personally, I’ve never been to Jumbo, and so was taken aback to see so many customers that weekday night. Indeed, the restaurant was packed! My hopes at finding good food that night was elevated. We went for a set dinner package for 4 people, so that we could try a variety [...]

Ristorante Da Valentino serves authentic Italian Cuisine. The restaurant is run by an Italian family and they’re good at it. Very good at it. It is one of those fairly cosy establishments that makes you leave with not just a warmth in your stomach, but also a warmth in your heart. Of the couple of times I have been there, the service has always been impeccable. One of my friends, M, absolutely goes gaga over the food whenever we go there. Here’s an idea of the things we like to order.
This mozzarella cheese is an absolute favourite among us. It is different from the usual Caprese that [...]

J and I decided to try out the new pizzeria – Pane’s Pizza, near our house today. He went down to buy some while I prepared some soup for us. I wasn’t expecting much from a neighbourhood pizzeria actually; I was just looking to fill my hungry tummy. J came back rather excitedly, however, and started to rave about the pizzeria (before we even started eating). He spoke of how they used top quality ingredients, such as mozarella cheese and parma ham imported from Italy. In fact, the staff shaved the leg of parma ham in front of him. He bought a 10-inch pizza – Pane’s Pizza, their specialty [...]

I had wanted to try this place out after hearing some raving reviews from one of my colleagues. Since it was mom’s birthday, coupled with the fact that she loves Japanese food, what better place to go?
We went for their Ala Carte Buffet, which comes with free-flow of drinks. The main highlight for us that it was free flow of sashimi as well. Yes… free flow. And the variety was truly worth the value of the buffet. They served up the typical Salmon sashimi, but also served Hamachi (yellow-tail), Tai (Sea bream), Tako (Octopus) and Ama Ebi (sweet prawn). The sashimi was fresh and sweet. It was truly [...]
