Working in the CBD area can be boon or a bane. On one hand, you have to jostle among the morning rush-hour crowd. But on the other hand, the working crowd is spoilt for choice when it comes to food. There are plenty of food options to choose from, especially healthier eateries that serve real food. Another eatery that recently entered the CBD-area food scene is Heybo. It is situated at level one of Republic Plaza which is just a few minutes away from Raffles Place MRT. Heybo is a new F&B establishment under SaladStop. I believe we are no stranger to SaladStop! – a salad eating joint that offers…

Enjoy Josper Grilled BBQ Buffet @ Food Capital
That Smoky Grilled Aroma Wafts of the unmistakable aroma of smoky grilled meat filled the air and teased my olfactory sense. The nostalgic scent of charred coal brought me back to the schooling days where class barbeque parties at chalets were yearly affairs. Then, the tantalizing wafts of food aroma continued to make its way to activate those already fully-awaken salivary glands of mine. When we say mouth-watering food, the term does bear a literal meaning. Welcome to the world of Josper Grill, where a unique oven combining both grill and oven claims proud credit for the great selection of richly flavoured grills at Food Capital, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel,…

Good Morning Nanyang Cafe’s Orange Ciabatta Kaya Toast
My hunt for the best kaya toast and egg set continues as I ventured out further beyond the usual local breakfast spots to search for the eatery that offers the best Kaya toast. Based on some recommendations from some local foodies I knew, I decided to check out Good Morning Nanyang cafe. Their Unique Orange Ciabatta Toast Good Morning Nanyang Cafe is well-known for its unique orange ciabatta kaya toast. That item on their menu jumped out right at me. Why pair an Italian white bread with traditional Kaya and butter? Is there a story behind this? Does kaya taste better on a slice of Italian white bread? I had…

Where to get traditional Kaya Toast and Kopi in Singapore?
Kaya Toast and coffee is a simple breakfast affair which doesn’t require much time and skills to prepare. Some argued that you might need some experience in brewing the coffee and operating the traditional charcoal oven. You will also need to know the perfect ratio of Kaya jam to butter too! But to me, it is exactly why I am puzzled by the fact that even though it’s a simple recipe, you can still end up with a not-so-delicious Kaya Toast and coffee (or Kopi, as what we call it here in Singapore). Our Singaporean foodies could even list down the places where they go for the best Kaya Toast…

There’s more to our local Kaya Toast
The first thing that most of Singaporeans would think of when it comes to Kaya Butter Toast is none other than Ya Kun Kaya Toast. This homegrown brand, which is one of Singapore’s cultural icon, is well-known for Kaya toast, soft-boiled eggs and local coffee. Part of the touristy things to do in Singapore is to stop by at one of Ya Kun Kaya Toast’s outlets for their signature Kaya Toast Set. As for us Singaporeans, it is simply a convenient and affordable place to meet up with a friend over coffee. But the real question is, do their Kaya toast taste the same as 75 years ago? And do…

Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant: A Royal Feast
In my opinion, Si Chuan Dou Hua is arguably one of the best Chinese restaurants in Singapore. I’ve dined at several high-end Chinese restaurants before but nothing is quite like Si Chuan Dou Hua’s dishes. Why hadn’t I discover this before? I am just really thankful to have an opportunity to dine at Si Chuan Dou Hua at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road. I was there for one purpose – to try out their new Suckling Pig Feast menu. A Royal Feast There are several highlights in their new menu which are worth raving about. The prices are very attractive too. It starts from $488++ for 6 pax and $688++ for…
