Tonkatsu by Ma Maison at Mandarin Gallery has the BEST tonkatsu in Singapore – so says all my friends. But really, I never really liked eating so much deep fried stuff so I didn’t bother checking this place till recently when the BF wanted to try it out. I’ve always been going to Tonkichi for my Tonkatsu fixes – which I still think is as good as Ma Maison.So here’s my experience at Ma Maison. Ma Masion, the Japanese-French style…
View PostI must be one of the few people left in Singapore who hasn’t tried one of those all-day breakfast dining places. I kept having this misconception that all I can order is a plateful or eggs done in method A or B or C or, you get the drift. I kept thinking it’s all about EGGS, and some bacon maybe and some toast maybe. But everybody STILL kept going on and on about how awesome it is, how it is…
View Post7-Eleven‘s been around since forever and I’ve had many fond memories in their stores. When I was in secondary school, the coolest thing then was to hang out at 7-Eleven with a slurpee (coke and green apple flavour mix only!) and a cup noodle! Fond memories those were. And then I grew up, and during those late nights out after a drink with friends, guess where I’ll go for some sweets or a drink? 7-Eleven! I was maybe 23-24 then…
View PostTo sum up my experience at this little Jap restro tucked away at The Cathay’s basement, I would say…. it’s safe to give it a miss. It used to be known as the 99cent a plate sushi but the prices have gone up slightly which is not a bad thing but their customer service was just. plain. BAD. The waitresses kept going around clearing tables and looking very disgruntled in general. I didn’t like the layout of the restaurant at…
View PostOriole Cafe & Bar is quite a surprise. It looks and operates like a bar. It has live bands on weekends but yet when you read online reviews of what people say about them, you will hear them raving all about the Fish & Chips – how it’s one of the best in Singapore, and their coffee – ieatishootipost actually says they are possibly serving one of the best coffee in Singapore. I also read about how their Beef Cheek…

Here’s a place you can consider when the time comes! Bar 75 at Crowne Plaza (next to Terminal 3): Their special menu this Oktoberfest…
View PostThe BF and I love Ramen a lot. In a country like Singapore where Japanese food is so popular, it isn’t hard to find Ramen everywhere you go. But really really good ramen? Here’s a list you should try! Oh wait, here’s a tip: I always try the NORMAL/BEST SELLER ramen (one that is defined as normal/best seller at their store). :) Hardly go wrong! 1) Keisuke Tonkotsu King | Orchid Hotel, Tanjong Pagar | Japanese Ramen If you really…
View PostKeisuke Tonkotsu King at Orchid Hotel (Tanjong Pagar) is what I would really label as one of the best ramen places in Singapore. A small ramen shop, often overcrowded with long queues, Keisuke Tonkotsu King serves only pork based soups with three varieties to choose from – spicy, black pepper and regular. Note: Like all the good ramen shops, this is not a place to chill or have a chat after your meal. This is a “eat and run” place.…
