STRANGERS’ REUNION Cafe at 37 Kampong Bahru Road

Updated: 30 May 2014 Strangers’ Reunion has expanded and moved to a bigger space (just beside the old unit). This is a much welcomed change considering the previous space was a little squeezy… cozy, but squeezy. I was very pleased with the expanded food menu plus the QUALITY of the food. We had the Eggs on ToastContinue reading “STRANGERS’ REUNION Cafe at 37 Kampong Bahru Road”

&MADE by Bruno Menard in Pacific Plaza

&Made by Bruno Menard is a great addition to Pacific Plaza, a mall at the start of Orchard road that has lost most of its buzz. It is probably better known now for hair salons and yoga, and music blasting from That CD Shop.  But now there is &Made… thank goodness. The restaurant is small,Continue reading “&MADE by Bruno Menard in Pacific Plaza”

NANA’S GREEN TEA in Jcube Mall (Updated 23 Dec 2012: Jcube outlet has closed, visit their new Plaza Singapura outlet)

Nana’s Green Tea is a big green tea/dessert chain in Japan. I had the privilege to meet their CEO (Nanaha Group) many many months back, when he was in Singapore, exploring the possibility of opening an outlet here. I didn’t hear from him since then, so I was pleasantly surprise when I saw a newContinue reading “NANA’S GREEN TEA in Jcube Mall (Updated 23 Dec 2012: Jcube outlet has closed, visit their new Plaza Singapura outlet)”

DRIPS BAKERY CAFE at Tiong Bahru Estate

I visited a charming little bakery and cafe in Tiong Bahru recently. Amidst the old shop-houses, Drips Bakery Cafe stood out with its bright, modern yet homely interior. We were greeted by young and somewhat good-looking staff, which I guess made the experience a little bit more pleasant. You can call me shallow but itContinue reading “DRIPS BAKERY CAFE at Tiong Bahru Estate”

LITTLE FISH SHOP in Nex Mall at Serangoon Central

The Little Fish Shop isn’t a shop selling aquarium fishes but a seafood restaurant in the suburban mall Nex. Cute name. My friend works around the area and he said this fishy place is probably one of the more presentable restaurants for a proper western meal with his corporate associates. So it’s business-friendly. It isContinue reading “LITTLE FISH SHOP in Nex Mall at Serangoon Central”

WILD HONEY in Mandarin Gallery

When Mandarin Gallery first opened their doors a few years ago, I remember being one of the first few customers of Wild Honey and somewhat surprised that they only served all-day breakfast sets. I thought they were very brave to be so focused on the type of food they wanted to offer. I recalled havingContinue reading “WILD HONEY in Mandarin Gallery”

ICE CREAM CHEFS at Upper Thomson

Just a stone’s throw away from my home, there is a fairly new ice cream shop called Ice Cream Chefs. Modeled closely to the likes of “Cold Stone”, Ice Cream Chef allows you to choose your flavours, toppings, and mixes them on a cold slab in front of you. The difference is that they featureContinue reading “ICE CREAM CHEFS at Upper Thomson”

GENKI SUSHI in Orchard Central

I wasn’t really in a mood for Japanese and had my eyes on a nice warm Quiznos sandwich, but my friends convinced me to detour into Genki Sushi. No regrets. The quality of the sushi here was surprisingly good though it would have been perfect if they had a wider range of sushi. The dessertContinue reading “GENKI SUSHI in Orchard Central”

4FINGERS Crispy Chicken in ION Orchard

4Fingers serves one of the best fried chicken wings in town. It is described as Korean themed cuisine from the streets of New York City. The wings come in 2 flavours – Soy Garlic and Spicy. Both are equally good though the Spicy version is stronger in taste and savorier. I personally prefer Spicy. TheContinue reading “4FINGERS Crispy Chicken in ION Orchard”
