Media Invite


Christmas is coming! Everyone's favourite time of the year is finally almost here. Think feasts, giant turkeys, gatherings, gifts and just happiness in the air... I can't wait! And there's absolutely nothing more important than pampering your palates, don't you think! And that's exactly what STREET 50 plans to do!

(CLOSED) Cakes Literally

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life is Cakes Literally, a humble cake cafe that serves up honest and yummy cakes baked from the heart. Carissa, the owner, told us that she picked this spot along Owen Road as she adored the serenity of the area. We couldn't agree more as there is something really charming about this quiet stretch of shophouses

The Missing Pan

The Missing Pan is a new brunch spot by the people behind Upper Crust. It caught my eye when I was driving along Bukit Timah one day and I knew I would be here soon haha

De Dietrich Cooking Demonstration by Chef Peter Rollinson

I had the honour of attending a cooking demonstration by Chef Peter Rollinson, the Executive Chef of Halia at La Galerie De Dietrich recently. The cooking studio really impressed me with its sleek design and range of equipment.

Bellwethers Bistro Bar

We chanced upon Bellwethers when we were on the way to Swee Choon for dinner so we decided to pop by for post-dinner drinks!

Sun Ray Cafe

"FOOD, PRETTY PLEASE???"

We brought the little one out for some playtime before his monthly grooming session. Please pardon his dirty whiskers haha they are the result of him stealing butter bread from the kitchen.

Have long been wanting to bring Waffles here but I just never got down to it. Finally got the chance to visit!

Hi everyone!

I'm in the midst of setting up a small cafe near Haji Lane right now, and also in the process of bringing Clothes Over Bros into retail at Chic Kiss Love's concept store which will be opening on 1st November!

Air France

X and I took Air France from Singapore to Paris. It's a direct long haul flight which took about 12-13 hours. Here's a post to share with you our experience!

The Bravery

After a disappointing brunch, X asked what my other choices were initially besides The Coffee Shot. And I told him The Bravery was one of them so we decided to head there. We hopped into the car and I tried locating the place but after a ten seconds drive, we were at The Bravery already! Haha it was quite funny. Do look out for the cafe as there isn't a signboard!

The Coffee Shot

I was assigned by X to find a place for Brunch and I chose The Coffee Shot as it was relatively near to Bugis, where we were heading to afterwards. However, this is quite possibly the worst brunch I've ever had in Singapore.

STREET 50 Restaurant & Bar

Media Invite



Revamped and reconceptualised from the previous Rumah Rasa is STREET 50 which sits on the first level of Bay Hotel. Bay Hotel is situated just opposite Vivocity. STREET 50 is now serving up global flavours with a twist and unique interpretations on classic dishes. We're giving away 5 discount vouchers to STREET 50 at the end of the post!

CAD Cafe

Media Invite


CAD Cafe is a three month old establishment on Haji Lane. CAD stands for coffee, art, and design and it doesn't take alot to understand why from the looks of the cafe and them serving coffee from Toby's Estate.

Smokey's BBQ

Media Invite



Bringing with them an extensive menu of American delights, Smokey's BBQ has joined the charming neighbourhood of Sunset Way.

(CLOSED) PasarBella

Home to fresh produce, organic products and sumptuous food, Pasarbella recreates and brings to Singapore an overseas experience. Having been to the famous Borough Market in London and fallen in love with it, X and I have been dying to visit Pasarbella. Here at Pasarbella, you won't feel like you're in Singapore!

W39 Bistro & Bakery

Good news have finally arrived for the westsiders. For a long time, the only places in the west where we could get a decent brunch and a good cup of coffee are Bukit Timah and Holland Village. And one of the common complaints were that there's nothing to eat in the west. W39 has brought hope to the western part of our sunny island!

Smiths

Media Invite


-->

Smiths Fish and Chips has been serving up authentic British Fish and chips for four years now and I’m sure many of you would have heard of them.

Mooncakes from Antoinette

Sponsored Post


We may have become so accustomed to mooncakes being associated with the Chinese culture and traditional ideas that we think that it's a little out of the ordinary to purchase mooncakes from a French patisserie. But I can't begin to tell you how much you're missing out on if you don't get your hands on these mooncakes! They are indeed out of the ordinary, they are extraordinary.

(CLOSED) Craft Bakery & Cafe

Opened by the people behind 3 Inch Sin, Craft is a cafe that I've been wanting to try because I love the lava cakes from 3 Inch Sin! Taking over the space that Cold Rock used to occupy is this simple cafe that supposedly has an impressive range of desserts and coffee

(CLOSED) Department Of Caffeine

Department of Caffeine has been making waves ever since its opening. It is not just one of the latest additions to Duxton but it's also a really popular one

Revolution Coffee

X and I used to frequent Portsdown and Wessex because we could bring the little furball there. And new to the dog-friendly Portsdown area is Revolution Coffee. And they welcome dogs too!

Signature Stone Restaurant

Media Invite



Ariel, the owner and chef of Signature Stone Restaurant loves cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. Her idea of a hotstone restaurant stemmed from her family's love for claypot rice. Ariel has noticed that the bottom of the rice cluster in claypots is usually charred. She then discovered that bibimbap which is served in a hot stone pot does not have that problem. Hence, Ariel decided to set up her own hot stone restaurant that boasts both traditional and western fusion delights

The Lawn @ Shenton

Media Invite



The Lawn has opened her second outlet at AXA Tower! The working folks in the area can now look forward to meating their greens here!

The Inspired Chef

Media Invite




Thanks to the four talented chefs behind The Inspired Chef, F&N creameries and Lewis PR, I had the opportunity to attend the media launch of The Inspired Chef, a new homegrown artisanal icecream brand!

Burano - Pretty Coloured Houses & Best Risotto in Venice

X planned an early day and he refused to tell me where we were going except that we were going to eat the best risotto. So we headed out pretty early and took the water taxi. After quite a long ride, we finally arrived at Burano! I was so mesmerized and so happy! X knows that I love colourful things and he knew that I'd love this place. I was really surprised and elated. Burano is insanely pretty!

Drury Lane

Taking its name from a street in one of my favourite cities, London, Drury Lane is one of the latest additions to the already cafe-packed Duxton area.

Staycation @ Pan Pacific Orchard

Sponsored Post



I honestly think that the location of Pan Pacific Orchard is impeccable. It gives you an impression of being away from city life but yet, it is actually in the heart of the city. It's only a short three to five minutes walk to Lido or Pacific Plaza. It's incredibly convenient! You can go shopping, catch a movie or go to the supermarket anytime!

What to eat in Rome

I was tasked to find places to eat at but I really suck at it and also, we couldn't find a couple of restaurants that I planned to go to ): Hence, we don't have many awesome stuff in this post to share with you but still, here are a few share-worthy things!

La Ristrettos

Hidden on the eighth level of Novena Medical Centre is this quaint little cafe. X has just started working at P&G and his manager introduced him to this cafe! He brought me there after I popped by for lunch one day. La Ristrettos is considered to be really hidden because unless you know that it exists, I guess you'll kinda never realise that theres a cafe there! Its located in the middle of a long quiet stretch. However, as secluded as it is, the cafe was full when we dropped by! 

Rondezvous Macarons

Advertorial



Rondezvous is a home bakery that specializes in macarons. The owners, Russell and Sharon, have spent countless hours researching and experimenting and they have come up with a recipe that will impress you

Necessary Provisions

Nestled in a quiet estate and basking in refreshing serenity is Necessary Provisions, a cafe that is just slightly more than a month old. I didn't know of this place and X didn't want to tell me where we were going so I was really excited as he drove into an unfamiliar place. I love exploring new places, and especially, a hidden gem like Necessary Provisions!

Sumiya

Media Invite




Sumiya, which means Charcoal House, is a lively restaurant and bar that sits on the rooftop of Orchard Central. The charcoal grill and izakaya restaurant boasts a great view and delectable Japanese tapas

Just 3 Days in London? Here are 6 Must Eats that will Impress
