Peony Jade Restaurant Ala Carte Buffet

The best friends and I are living our dream. When we were young, we promised each other that we’ll keep in touch and there will be a time when we’ll be out with our kids and partners. Recently, our little dream became a little more real. Angeline finally brought 4 mth old, baby Marquis out for lunch along with Duke, her husband. And Wei Shan brought her other half, Peter. I’m so happy for her. They are both going to…

Cafe Review: Craving for French Food in Singapore?

French Food to me is always about expensive prices and while it may be tasty, the portions are usually too small to enjoy enough of it. And it isn’t always that readily available everywhere too. It is with pleasure that I discovered a little French Restaurant that just opened near Holland Village. It’s called The French Ladle – according to the owners, they wanted their setup to be a homely place with great food at great prices and portions. Hence,…

Hifumi – New Japanese Restaurant at Plaza Singapura

Hifumi is the new kid on the block. There can never be enough Japanese restaurants in Singapore and in the new opened wing of the Plaza Singapura, there are 2 new Japanese places to try. One of them is Hoshino Coffee and the other is Hifumi Japanese Restaurant. Hifumi serves inexpensive bento sets and what’s interesting about them is that every order of bento sets allows you unlimited access to their appetizer bar (with over 10 varieties). I thought that…

Tonkatsu by Ma Maison

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…

Brunch at Wild Honey

I 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…

7-Eleven: Truly a store and more

7-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…

Makan at Nihon Mura 日本村 (The Cathay)

To 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…
