This isn’t my first time being at this fun culinary school called CulinaryOn at Raffles Place but it is always fun to be back here again. Besides, it seems that their culinary classes have gotten even better this time. How did I ended up here again? I was here with my friend, Noriko who invited me to join her for this Virgin Active New Members’ Night at CulinaryOn. It was an evening of fun where we get to eat and cook our meals at the same time. That event was also an opportunity for the gym members to get to know one another. And as her plus one, I did…

Why Singaporeans miss A&W?
Welcome back, A&W Singapore! Like most other Singaporeans, the first thing we did at Jewel Changi Airport, was to queue up for A&W. We spent at least 2 hours waiting to get a seat and another 30 minutes for our order to arrive. Queuing has officially become a typical Singaporean’s favourite past time. If there’s a queue, that stuff must be good! Why A&W left Singapore 16 years ago? This American fast food chain first came to Singapore in 1966 and their very first outlet was along Dunearn Road. In 2003, A&W decided to pull out of Singapore. I still vaguely remember that many were lamenting over the closure of…

No Milk Bistro: The Modern Bistro that serves Teochew-style Fish Soup
During the day, if you have walked past this eatery (called 鱼汤 )before, you may think that they only often Teochew-style fish soup and nothing else. Truth be told, this eatery offers than more just the regular local hawker dish. No Milk No Milk is a two-storey eatery. They have a fish soup eatery on the first floor and a modern pub-cum bistro on the second floor. This is where east meets west where you can get the best of both worlds. It is actually an interesting juxtaposition of the two cuisines they are serving – traditional hawker dish versus modern Asian-western fusion cuisine. Could it be an attempt to bridge…

The Communal Place: Sooo good to be back! (New Menu, (April 2019)
Previously, I visited The Communal Place sometime in October of last year for lunch. And this time, I’m back again to try out a couple of their new dishes in their brand new menu which features sharing platters. Both food and service here are great and it is one of the cafes in Singapore which I would highly recommend you to come for a meal. They serve western fusion cuisine at reasonable prices and portions are generous. What more could one ask for? The Communal Place It’s a little quiet here on weekdays so if you are looking for a quiet spot to chill, study or catch up with some…

Rakuzen: A Japanese Restaurant that serves decent food at reasonable prices
Thanks to an event which I’ve attended at Millenia Walk, I received some Rakuzen Dining vouchers which allowed me to dine at this restaurant for the past couple of months. Unlike other restaurants in this mall, Rakuzen did not receive much attention or publicity from the masses. So we thought that their food was mostly not up to standard. However, we were proven wrong after making three visits to Rakuzen. Rakuzen Though their food isn’t over the top fantastic, their food quality and taste are generally quite good. For the price you are paying for a meal at Rakuzen, the food is considered to be decent. Service is prompt and…
