The Laneway Market

 photo PC270731.jpg
I popped by the soft launch of The Laneway Market on 27th December and was really amazed at what Christopher has done with the entire place. From designing the place to coming up with the menu and all, immeasurable amount of hard work has been placed into this pretty cafe. I got to know Chris as he's one of my bakers for Mean Bean & Wicked Grind, and we have grown to become pretty great friends over the months. He pops by Mean Bean quite often and starting learning a little about coffee and the art of making coffee and I can't tell you how proud I am of him and The Laneway Market. And I'm definitely a proud shi-fu to see my disciple grow in his coffee-making hahaha

Insadong Korea Town

Media Invite

Located at Resorts World Sentosa, Insadong Korea Town is possibly the most authentically Korean dining establishment in Singapore. It is a huge project managed by Korean consultants, designed by Korean architects and helmed by Korean chefs. 99% of Insadong, including the floor tiles, are imported from Korea. Needless to say, I was really impressed by the dedication and effort put into the set-up of Insadong. Korean merchandise, from handcrafted souvenirs to local delicacies, are also painstakingly imported and up for sale here.

Kkongdon originated from Sinchon, Korea, and has been around in Singapore since 2012. They have four outlets currently and they aim to provide "kkongdon" (which means 'best price value' in Korean) to diners. Be prepared to be amazed by the quality of the new All-You-Can-Eat Korean Barbecue Buffet considering how affordable and reasonably priced it is!

I've been to PasarBella quite a couple of times and have always walked past Oceans of Seafood but have never actually dined here. And I'm finally here to witness the cutting of the huge Northern Blue Fin Tuna! I was really excited, akin to a little kid waiting to open her Christmas presents!
