L’éclair Pâtisserie – Singapore’s First Eclair Specialty Store

I have been reminiscing about the éclairs I had in Paris when a friend introduced to me L’éclair Pâtisserie, Singapore’s first éclair specialty store. Located on the ground floor of Singapore Shopping Centre in Douby Ghaut, L’éclair Pâtisserie looks unassuming. 10 flavors of éclairs are freshly-baked everyday. If you like fruity flavours, there is Mango […]

PS. Cafe Raffles City – New Dishes and Desserts

Cafe Raffles City is so pretty with tall glass ceiling that gives the illusion of being more spacious than it actually is. The black and white stripped awning and relaxed atmosphere contributes to the […]

Nanjing Impressions 南京大排档 – Authentic Nanjing Cuisine

Now you don’t have to fly all the way to Nanjing to get a taste of Nanjing cuisine with the newly-opened Nanjing Impressions. I can’t get enough of the interior decor which resembles a Nanjing courtyard complete with fake tile roof and granite pillars. The hanging lantern lights and wooden tables and chairs really bring […]

Even though I have been to Sri Lanka, I don’t remember of what I ate there except there’s lots of curries. Kotuwa moved from its original location at Wanderlust Hotel to […]

Located on the rooftop of IOI Central Boulevard Towers, Sospiri is a 5-minute walk from Downtown station. Take the escalator up and then the lift to the left […]
