One Kind House is not your typical restaurant. I wouldn’t even call it a restaurant for it is housed in an old 3000-square-foot double-storey terrace house in Telok Kurau. It is an organic farm, cooking school, 21st century kampong” and art gallery all rolled into one. Former primary school teacher, 76-year-old Ng Swee Hiah, runs […]

Greyhound Cafe – Thai-Western Fusion Cuisine in Paragon

Greyhound Cafe is located behind the concierge counter on level 1 of Paragon Shopping Centre. The black panels around the parameter of the cafe and the black brass partition in the middle gives it a sophisticated look. I thought Greyhound Cafe probably originated from London or Paris, but it is actually from Bangkok. If you […]

Food Exchange @ Novotel Singapore on Stevens – Beautiful Decorations but Lousy Food

I have been to quite a few buffet restaurants in Singapore, but I have never heard of Food Exchange @ Novotel Singapore on Stevens until I was there a week ago for a colleague’s farewell dinner.  I did a search on Google and I was very impressed by the grand decorations of the restaurant. I […]

Ayam Penyet Ria – Another Indonesian Restaurant in Lucky Plaza

Lucky Plaza is my go-to place for cheap and delicious food in Orchard Road. Not only are there Filipino (Inasal) restaurants and shops, there are also a few Indonesian restaurants (Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut) worth checking out.  Ayam Penyet Ria to the right of Bebek Goreng Pak Ndut on the first floor of Lucky Plaza.

GoroGoro Steamboat & Korean Buffet

When I first saw the name of the restaurant, I thought there’s some deep hidden meaning behind the name “GoroGoro”. The company website explains “the name actually are suggestions of a rumbling tummy when you are hungry, and the hot bubbling sound of the steamboat soups when they are boiling”. So much for deep meanings.  GoroGoro Steamboat & […]

Lately, I have noticed more and more mookata stalls opening up in coffeeshops around the island. There is one such stall called Siam Square Mookata besides 山东东记拉面小笼包 in Fu Chan Food Paradise. It looked really good so my girlfriend and I decided to try it out.  Siam Square Mookata is apparently quite popular and there […]
