A journal of all the great and wonderful food I had the pleasure to consume
Char caused quite a stir when it first launched on Guillemard Road. It created two opposing clans, one worshipping it for bringing them the best char siew ever, the other want it to be banished because its “char siew” isn’t char siew. Char siew or char siu is Cantonese barbecue pork and it usually has a red shiny glaze finish and rarely comes with any sauce. … Continue reading Char – Char Siew Like No Other
I was really excited about going to Dutch Colony Coffee Co. on Frankle Avenue this morning. I have read so much about the incredibly wonderful coffee that they represent. The place has an industrial warehouse design style with a touch of modern chic. The ceiling is raw with exposed wiring, the support structure of the center piece wooden table is made out of steel water pipes and … Continue reading Dutch Colony Coffee Co. – Top Notch Artisanal Coffee House
Dinner at Forture Seafood Steam Boat restaurant on 27th March 2015 is officially the worst meal I had in quite a long while. The food was bland, overcooked in most instances and service was non-existence. It was like stepping into a taxi after the taxi driver has had many cigarettes in the car with the window closed and having him being rude to you as … Continue reading Forture Seafood Steam Boat – A Torture Indeed

If you are a self-respecting Singapore-based sushi eater, you should have tried or at least heard of Shiok!!! Maki. It has put Koh Grill and Sushi Bar onto the culinary map of this little Island. “Shiok” is Singaporean slang for “amazingly good”. This avocado, charcoal grilled eel sushi roll that is topped off with lightly torched Salmon and Japanese mayonnaise is indeed amazing. The smokiness of … Continue reading Koh Grill and Sushi Bar – The Home of “Amazingly Good” Sushi
Al Borgo is the sort of place that you will frequent if you live close to Bukit Timah Road. The restaurant, or trattoria as it is known in Italy, is homely, friendly and a delight to be in. It feels like you are at a friend’s place enjoying a nice home cooked meal. The place works brilliantly for a casual dinner with friends but will … Continue reading Al Borgo – Rustic Neighbourhood Italian
No one comes to Mr Prata for the decor or for the refined service, but hoards and hoards do descend in the wee hours for the late night supper of prata, murtaba and mee goreng (fried noodles) washed down with teh halia or milo dinosaur! The food menu is like a compilation of all the food you can ever think of. For supper or breakfast, they … Continue reading Mr Prata – Functional 24 Hours Joint

I wanted a special place to treat my wife on her birthday and what better place to explore than Henri Charpentier. The place is as much about the “wow” in looks as it is in taste. We were greeted by shocking pink carpet as we made our way to what is suppose to be the best of sweet indulgences this side of Asia. Through a set … Continue reading Henri Charpentier – Underwhelming Decadent Sweet Indulgence
