Tambuah Mas, A HomeStyle Indonesian Restaurant
Es Avokat at Tambuah Mas is simplicity at its best. Smooth and simply tempting avocado is made into a thick creamy blend, topped with a drizzle of mocca syrup. It simply shrieks “enjoyment!” $4.50 is well worth it.
Don’t Forget To Curtsey When You Step In
Splendid in looks, fine in daintiness, very interesting combination. It was my first time pairing a sponge pudding with frozen tangy sorbet. Still, the best part for me was the crisp, refreshing lemon and grapefruit slices that added vibrant hues and clarity to the dish.
Nasi Biryani Dum Mutton – Excellent Excellent!
Just imagine tempting fluffy biryani with a delicate flavoursome taste that only calls for a nice firm bite. Pair that with a good sized piece of tender mutton braised in an all too tasty rempah and then cooked with the rice. Fantastic!
A Peranakan Buffet Affair. Care for a Kueh Pie Ti?
Ayam Buah Keluak is probably the most commonly associated dish with Peranakan food. What is most important for this dish is the rempah base where everything starts from. You have a good rempah, you will get a good dish.
For The Love Of Cakes, Pastries And Friends At Checkers
Out of all the desserts which I had at Checkers, the Mixed Berries Tart looked the most tempting to me. Somehow, the idea of splurging lavishly on fruits and berries on a sweet crisp pastry base is enough to make me crave
My Hand At Whipping Up That Tasty Beef Rendang
I endured the hunger pangs before lunch time by researching a little on what to cook for dinner today. And somehow, that little gastronomic glut in my body started craving for that ubiquitous savoury sweet taste of Rendang as it reminisced the one I had at Causeway Point some time back.
For He’s A Jolly Good Crab Roe
After relishing the cold yellow roe crabs at Asia Grand, mom decided to get me to replicate the dish. Well, what I created would actually be steamed crabs served with a dip of tangy sweet, gingery spicy vinegar sauce. For the rest of the taste, I leave it all to the natural beauty of the hardy crustacean.
Immersing Italy’s Repertoire At La Strada
La Strada, an introduction to a new perspective in which fine Italian cuisine is defined. In the sense of exclusiveness, classiness and a certain touch of natural flavours and aroma.
Hangari Galbi – A Hungrified Korean Traditional Bbq
The Grilled Marinated Short Beef Ribs is the house specialty. With chunks of beef being marinated in a splendid blend of marinade for over two days, it is more than enough time to allow a myriad of juices to soak in.
Taking The Subway Train To A Sandwich
The dish was served in a Parmesan Oregano bread which was well toasted in the oven, warming both the filling and the crusty layer of the sandwich. In overall, with the honey mustard sauce, the Subway Melt provided a good mix of savoury flavours that tend to be very attractive for the Ham lovers.
A Simple But Bodacious Pineapple Tart Recipe
Pineapple Tarts is always a special tradition in my family during the celebration of the Lunar New Year. At my grandma’s house, they are always baked personally by my Aunt Florence and with every cylinder box full she brings in, it finishes just as quickly over the next 2-3 days.
That Ishiyaki Bibimbap Is Smokin’ Hot!
This is one award winner which I must give my full adulation. The Ishiyaki Bibimbap, though not exactly a Japanese dish (it has roots in Korea), is still presented excellently at Watami. The dish arrives as a sizzling hot stone pot, warmed to a scalding 300 degree celsius before serving!
Dreaming The Crispy Mingzhu Roll At Keng Eng Kee Seafood
The Salted Egg Yolk Crab is presumably the star of tonight’s dinner. A decent sized female crab is deep fried in sizzling hot oil and then stir fried in a thick paste of salted egg yolk, curry leaves and chilli padi to produce that tempting dish of hard shelled crustacean.
Peach Garden @ 33, Exquisite Finery
I will give top marks for the Deep Fried Fillet of Sea Perch with Plum Sauce. The mild flavour of perch was crisp and delightful complementing well with the topping of diced fruits. Together with the drizzle of freshly made plum sauce, a final touch was given to the dish revealing the overall burst of freshness in the fish.
Embracing The Shangri-La Legend For Christmas
Amazement and a sense of impressiveness enveloped me as I witnessed the gorgeous spread of buffet available at each counter of The Line Restaurant. From the ubiquitous Fresh Seafood and Sashimi section to the finery of garden salads and a cheese entourage, there was a sampling of different cultures around the world.
Waraku So Good. Choose & Order.
Waraku at The Central provides a casual Japanese dining experience with a great view of the river to boot. With its dishes priced at affordable prices and sometimes enough for two, it might be the next stop for your family outing or gathering with your friends.
Battle Of The Sushis : Sunshine Maki Versus Dragon Roll
Dragon Roll simply shrieks for the avocado lovers. Each piece has a generous portion of that creamy green fruit served with it. The tempura appears as standard fare in the makis, but in this case, it complements very well with the avocado. More mild and subtle in taste and texture, it was still good.
Kam Jia Zhuang-Restaurant Food, Coffeeshop Prices
Naturally the top dish as recommended by many patrons would be the Deep Fried Prawn Ball with Pumpkin & Butter Sauce. The dish consisted of deep fried crispy prawns in a smooth creamy coating of pumpkin sauce that is slightly sweet and peppery. Very savoury and a delight with steaming white rice!
Kway Guan Huat – A Popiah Of Passing Traditions
Kway Guan Huat places itself as a corner style coffeeshop. With the tv blaring out chinese dramas, kids playing around the corner, and enjoying a plate of popiah in the hot weather, I was able to get a nostalgic feel of the golden memories lingering in the street.
Queensway Famous Curry Chicken. I Say This Is Good.
The Curry Chicken was sweet, savoury with the spark of spiciness and tastiness in a full flavoured broth of coconut milk. It is a little oily but also slightly thick in consistency. And it goes fabulously well with rice. For that fragrance, and a decent bowl of guilty pleasure, I say $3 is a well matched price.
Its a Sunday and I didn’t know what to eat. Occasionally, times like these do happen. Times where the tastebuds simply go null and the stomach blanks out in a perpetual dream state. I was itching to go somewhere, and like a kid jumping on a moving bandwagon with thinking, I said lets go eat Korean at Upper Thomson.
In ten minutes, I was out with my Canon 1000D in a taxi and zooming in accelerator-clutch crazy fashion towards Upper Thomson road. I arrived exactly at 5pm, only to find the restaurant still snoozing in its afternoon break (so its here when I went to Miss Clarity Cafe, Click here to read the article)
When I did go back in the evening, I must say that I did not make a wrong choice in thinking about Korean food.

Jade, the choice of name for a Fine Dining Chinese restaurant is perhaps one of the most apt. While not overly exorbitant in sheer adjectives, the term alone leaves a sense of fineness, mystique, glimmer and most importantly, class.
And it is the place of choice for my 20th birthday where I celebrated it with my family and most importantly my two grandmothers. Already in their twilight years, they are just like the fine pieces of shimmering green with its robust features and cool textures. And I must say that for my 20th birthday, this has been a very special moment.

Unagi Brown Rice (Teppan Sukiyaki Beef Set). Interestingly served in a hollowed Green Pepper.
The last I blogged about Sakae Teppanyaki, it was for the set menu of Boston Lobsters. This time I’m going for the sets in the menu, and believe me, I was surprised when Sakae offered Foie Gras as a dish for teppanyaki.
In this article, the pictures come from a variety of three sets. Namely, Beef Set (with that oh so Foie Gras), Teppan Sukiyaki Beef Set and the Seafood Set.

The Gong has struck. I am now 20. Goodness! Who knew I would be hitting the second decade so soon? Yet, it is a moment of celebration, a moment of coming to terms that now it is perhaps time to be more professional in both outlook and perspective.
And it is on the 29th that I had to celebrate my birthday. Saturday was deemed to be taken up by secondary activities, but now that it has been cancelled, I can still go out and enjoy my “extended” revelry.
This year, I had my birthday dinner customized by Jonathan, head chef of Miss Clarity Cafe. All I need to do is quote a price for each person (I said $50), and he went to work his magic in the kitchen. Of course, this was pre-booked a week ago, but it is just the strangeness of expecting the unexpected in your very next dish that made tonight’s dinner all the more exciting.
