Hungry Ghost
I was on my way to visit Urban Farm @ Funan when I saw Tiong Bahru Bakery (Funan Mall). Master baker Gontran Cherrier founded Tiong Bahru Bakery in 2012. He operated the first store at Eng Hoon Street under Spa Esprit Group. Tiong Bahru Bakery now has 6 outlets spread across Singapore. Tiong Bahru Bakery […]
I was in Funan Mall recently where I discovered a new ramen restaurant, Sho Ryu Ramen. Sho Ryu Ramen specializes in hakata ramen just like Hakata Ikkousha Ramen. Hakata ramen originated from the district Hakata in Fukuoka city of western Kyushu. Fishermen working in the Hakata district used to eat this ramen because it was […]
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 […]
Located beside Tempura TENTEN, you can’t miss 红锅HonGuo with its bright red and black signage. I have walked past this Chinese restaurant quite a few times but I have never wanted to try their food until I read the story behind their signature dish, Cross Bridge Vermicelli. I like the spaciousness of the restaurant all decked […]
Eating is a national pastime in Singapore and buffets are extremely popular in Singapore because you get to try many different foods in one seating.

Traditionally, poke consists of seasoned aku (tuna) or he’e (octopus) tossed with maui onions, inamona (a condiment made of roasted salted candlenut), soy sauce, green onions and sesame oil. Aloha Poke was founded by two couples who had […]
I see a long queue outside Simply Wrapps every day during lunch and dinner times and I have always thought Simply Wrapps is “just another salad bar”. I changed my perception of Simply Wrapps after having their salads and wraps. There are only two options at Simply Wrapps: salad or warp, which takes the chore […]
Dal.Komm Coffee is a Korean coffee chain that caught my attention while I was watching the Korean drama “Descendants of The Sun” and then “Goblin”. Dal.Komm means “sweet” in Korean, but there is actually another meaning behind the words. “Dal” stands for the founding company Danal while the German word “komm” means “come”. Hence, […]
My colleague came back from lunch one day and exclaimed to me: “ There is a new food court at Shaw Tower. You should go and try it. I think you will like it very much!” I went and I fell in love with the “atas” (Singlish for “upscale”’or “high class”) food court and I […]
