The Sampan Boat Quay was once the artery for Singapore’s trade and economic activities in Asia. Five decades later, it has transformed into this vibrant night spot with a string of restaurants, cafes, and pubs. When night falls and the night crowd gathers, the atmosphere along the Singapore River becomes ever more charming. And what’s…
PARKROYAL on Pickering sets apart from other hotels in Singapore with its green facade and well-designed eco-friendly interior. The buffet offerings at this hotel’s restaurant, Lime, are also exceptionally good. Lime Restaurant Their food and service standards have gone up a notch ever since my last visit here at the Lime which was about 2…
All eyes are now on our local hawker food fare with the recent push to preserve Singapore’s hawker culture which is indeed an emblem of Singapore’s identity. Most of us locals grew up eating hawker since young. Even for myself, I’m also starting to appreciate and treasure our multicultural food offerings here at our friendly…
One of my favourite healthy dishes is none other than a creamy fruit smoothie bowl. And I prefer to have my smoothie in a bowl so that I can enjoy it with fresh fruit slices and crunchy granola. But making a smoothie can be somewhat of a hassle as you will need to have a…
Penang: A Foodie Paradise The recent trip to Penang, Malaysia with my mum is probably one of my first overseas foodie trip where our sole focus was to indulge in all the local food. Like Singapore, Penang is truly a food paradise where you can find good food at almost every corner of the street.…

Singapore-inspired High Tea During our staycation at Grand Copthorne Hotel, we set aside some time (and tummy space) to try their Singapore-inspired afternoon tea set at Tempo Bar. Considering that it might be a unique experience for those who have yet to try our local delights, we decided that as Singaporeans who grew up eating…
I had some time off on Friday to dine out at the cafe called BLACK&INK, a cafe which is usually brimming with brunch crowds on the weekends, and it can get rather packed. In situations like this, you might want to check out Eatsy. What can Eatsy do for you? Eatsy is a collaborative dining…
Innovative Sushi Creations I have to applaud Ami Ami‘s effort for taking the risk to recreate the way sushi rolls are being served. It was a unique dining experience where we get to taste colourfully-plated sushi rolls presented in various ways. This innovative new menu is created by award-winning Master Chef Naoki Tsuzuki’s from Kuriya Dining,…
Durian Jasmine Tea Singaporeans love durians. This is one generalization I could make with some confidence because very few locals here that I know would actually say no to durians.
