Shahi Maharani – The Royal Ambience
I have always wanted to visit Shahi Maharani. The exquisite exterior of the restaurant has always beckoned me to wonder what beauty lay inside. And during the Christmas week break, I took the opportunity to have a lunch buffet at the restaurant.
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.
Din Tai Fung Exclusive Blogger’s Culinary Workshop
For me, I have always associated Din Tai Fung with their Xiao Long Baos. And when Sixth Sense in representation of Din Tai Fung invited me to the Blogger’s Culinary Workshop at 313 @ Somerset, I was game to learn first hand how they make that highly demanded dumplings.
Tavolo, Insights Of Truffle Oil & Italian Flat Bread
A dish of Homemade Gnocchi with smoked salmon, vodka, garlic, kiwi and parmesan cheese. The gnocchi itself was already brimming with cheese and with the sauce also being mainly cheese, this was almost creamy cheese heaven.
RISE, A Gastronomical Buffet Journey Under The Stars
While I thought I went through everything, there is also a gluttonous spread of Breads, Buns, and Cheesesticks. This is one counter that looks as good as each piece tastes. Not forgetting the toppings available! And I used this counter to mix and match with the very good sauces and jams available all around.
Clarity Calls Upon Kuriya’s Sashimi Moriwase Set
It is perhaps me being a food blogger that after trying out the many kinds of delicacies that sometimes it gets a little too “exotic”. And when the urge comes about, my mind would naturally drift to the realms of the Japanese and their sashimi.
Sushi Tarafuku – Sweetness Of The Sea On The Platter
Sushi Tarafuku tags itself as a Fish Market and Japanese Restaurant. Strikingly, the combination of both ideas gives a feeling that the cuisine would be nothing less than fresh.
The Fullerton Hotel Presents, Jade
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.
Yangnyum Kalbi From Auntie Kim’s. Why Not?
The Hae Mool Joon, Korean Pan Cake Mixed With Vegetable And Seafood was huge. At $16.00, 3 people simply cannot finish the dish. Crispy, tasty, and the kitchen was generous with the seafood, it was a dish that made me happy to the extent that I couldn’t stop eating it even after my stomach told me that I was too full. Weird?
Sweetspot, Hitting The Right Spot In All Ways
The macaroons at Sweetspot are aplentiful with a total of 16 varieties, with more creations coming up every now and then. I found the quaint desserts to be just right in the amount of sweetness with no overbearing aftertaste and the macaroon shells itself are crisp, firm and yet brittle to the bite.
A Seaworthy Trip For Keisuke Ebi Ramen
The soup was wholesome in the essence of prawns such that the first sip leaves the mouth crisp but the afterbreath wanting more. Quite good, though some Singaporeans would naturally associate the taste to that good ol Prawn Noodles that they used to have all over the island.
Kim’s Family Restaurant – Biggest Banchan
For a family restaurant, Kim’s certainly meets the mark with its warm, homely and cozy environment. Doodles and artistic graffiti adorn the wall and the decor is clear cut dining for warmth. There is a certain relaxed and laidback atmosphere about the place that left me desiring to go back for another visit.
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.
Slurping Ippudo’s Ramen At Meritus Mandarin Gallery
The ambience at Ippudo is definitely something to take interest with. As with many Japanese eateries, the staff will holler in loud voices to welcome you, and Ippudo was no exception (except for the fact that their welcome was very very loud).
How Do You Spell Schokolart?
Schokolart is perhaps the new kid on the block with its own servings of desserts and everything chocolate. Of course, while the name hints towards the flavoursome cocoa bean, there is a serving of other dishes and mains that will make it more of a cafe than a dessert patisserie.
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.
Every 17th of July for the past 4 years, my Junior College class will gather and celebrate the class’s birthday. Aptly due to our own class being 17/07, this annual affair has been one where old friends meet to wine, dine and have fun together.
 
This year, we had our class’s birthday at Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao restaurant at Holland Village. Whats exciting is that this restaurant features a Xiao Long Bao and Steamboat Buffet. So if you were one who goes after Xiao Long Baos, fresh steamboats with the classic hearty broths from Crystal Jade, this is like a Godsend.

When I think of “Indulge”, an immediate thought of excessiveness hits the mind. But when it comes to Cafe Indulge, the definition tweaks a little, and in a moment of epiphany, excessiveness is in name only and that sometimes it is good to keep coming back for more.

In today’s lunch, there are a total of 7 dishes to be presented. 3 of which are going to be featured in the new menu that Cafe Indulge is producing. The cuisine style and focus of Chef Kelvin Chua is along the lines of Italian/European with the Midas touch for local flavours that while refreshingly new is so surprisingly familiar and comforting.
Indulgence? Let it begin.

I sense a trend brewing, and it comes in one of fruity flavours or even velvety texture. Checkered and dotted with sparks of creativity, each creation is a masterpiece. Be it with chopped nuts or pocky sticks, or even wafers plus berries, the excitement to build your own cake is simply fascinating.

Often enough when I walk past Yishun Central row of shophouses to get to my optometrist, I will always see a crowd of people at this particular shop slurping away happily at their bowls of Laksa. And if the crowd was not enough, there would be a queue with people “ta-paoing” the delicious noodle dish. So I felt it was due time last Sunday to engage in a bowl of this particularly local favourite with my grandma.
