A few days ago I was invited to join in a food tasting session at Everything With Fries’s newly opened outlet at Orchard Central. I’ve always wanted to try out their food since I heard about their name because it was rather interesting – did they really serve everything with fries?

Goto Japanese Restaurant is a kaiseki restaurant set in the heart of Singapore. This small restaurant was set up by Goto Hisao, the owner and chef who was formerly the chef to previous Japanese ambassador in Singapore. I had read about the exquisite quality of their food served here at Goto from the other blogs and so [...]

126 Eating House is a pretty famous Geylang dim sum joint, located nicely at 126 Sims Avenue! There are lots of reasons why people love to come here – food is cheap, comes in large portions, and it’s open 24/7. This is baby ikan bilis porridge, I love the crunch of the crispy fish in [...]

Risotto was one of the dishes that I have been putting off for a long time. I had some extra scallops in the fridge that I wanted to use for pan-searing so I decided to combine them both together to make pan-seared scallops risotto! So of course the main ingredient are scallops, and the best [...]

Ironically out of all the famous Indian dishes, the one I’ve had the least is tandoori chicken! In an immense bout of contradictory laziness, I decided to make it rather then go out and eat it. So I gathered the usual suspects – ginger, onion, yogurt and garlic. The spices are garam marsala, coriander and [...]

One fine day, I suddenly decided make my own garlic bread after seeing a bottle of “instant garlic bread” powder in the supermarket. Since the ingredients of the powder looked quite basic, I should be able to replicate them at home. And so that’s what I did with some garlic power, chopped garlic, butter and [...]

The long awaited return of the nazi chef! About 9 months back, this infamous chef closed down his eatery and retired, as I blogged about earlier. That’s when everyone found out that Wasabi Tei was actually a franchise and his eatery remained opened but taken over by some other people. As a result, the standard has [...]

Everybody knows about Nando’s Singapore which just opened here about a month ago, and has ridiculously long queues for dinner time. This time I happened to pass by Nando’s before noon and saw that there was no queue so I popped in to have lunch with my friend.
