BIZEN Okayama Wagyu Steakhouse – Quality Wagyu from $20.50+

I love a good steak and I usually get my fix at Pepper Lunch Restaurant (JEM). While Pepper Lunch serves quality steak at affordable prices, it lacks variety. A friend recently introduced a new steak restaurant called BIZEN Okayama Wagyu Steakhouse where you can get different cuts of beef. BIZEN Okayama Wagyu Steakhouse is part […]

Colony at Ritz-Carlton – International Buffet that Doesn’t Disappoint

Colony at Ritz-Carlton is one of the buffets that I have been meaning to try but never got around to. I have heard so many good reviews, it feels like I already know the place before even visiting it. Colony – Decor I love the high arched glass roof which allows natural light to illuminate […]

So Good Char Chan Tang – Posh and Disappointing

So Good Char Chan Tang in Capitol Piazza is very different from the cha chan teng that I have been to in Hong Kong. Cha chaan teng in Hong Kong are mostly housed in nondescript buildings, such as the Mido Cafe I visited. You will probably walk past it without realizing if you didn’t go looking […]

CLOVE – Handcrafted Burgers and Shakers from Former Buffet Restaurant

CLOVE, the all-day dining buffet restaurant on level 2 of Swissotel The Stamford has been revamped into a casual western restaurant that specializes in burgers and shakers.  The transformation into a fast food restaurant is understandable given the current Covid-19 pandemic situation globally which makes the resumption of buffets highly unlikely in the near future.  […]

Inle Myanmar Restaurant – Authentic Myanmar Cuisine in Peninsular Plaza

It has been two months since I came back from Myanmar and I have been missing the delicious food I had there. I especially miss Lucky Seven Tea Shop’s Samosa Salad and Tea Leaf Salad from Mya Shwe Maung Tea Shop. (Please visit Myanmar page to see all my blog posts on Myanmar.)  Luckily for […]
