With a baby in tow, I haven't had the luxury to go round the island for good food for the longest time. :PIt didn't occur to me until recently that I actually had good food being delivered to me every weekday and that I can actually blog about it!I used Mom's cooking for my confinement and have continued using their services ever since.

What is it like for a foodlover not to love food?I can't imagine, but I don't have to.I didn't like food one bit for the past few months... and I still don't.The food blogs that I used to enjoy reading so much doesn't appeal to me anymore. Even tv programmes related to food turn me off. At times, food have to be forced down my throat, simply because that's the only way to stay alive. How sad does

I was at NUS today and although it wasn't meal time, I couldn't resist walking down to the science canteen (not too sure what it is called now) to order claypot rice. Beancurd claypot, to be precise. Just looking at it makes me smile. I wanted so much to tell Auntie that I came to this canteen JUST for her claypot, but was afraid that it was too much info. :PWhile waiting for the food to be

I don't really like it though.Bakwan Kepiting (10/10)That's my favourite. It's the BEST Bakwan Kepiting that I have ever tasted. The meat was tender and the soup was light, yet flavourful.

For someone who doesn't take sashimi or try something different, Bento's a safe bet. :PTenpura Bento (7/10)I would rate the food in this bento average, but the potato salad was exceptional!

2008-12-19T23:41:00.003+08:00

Can you believe my hub wanted to try the food here (even though we have had our meal at Mr Chicken Rice), just because it 'uses 100% olive oil'?"It's healthier" he said.*face palm* relatively speaking, maybe yes. But Fried Food? Healthy? Fried Chicken (7/10)Anyway, it was so-so only. Nothing fanciful. The olive oil thing was probably used to reduce the guilt. :P Place1 Pasir Ris Close #02-121/

Mr Chicken Rice

2008-12-19T23:30:00.005+08:00

I have heard so much about him, or rather, his famous chicken rice at Mandarin Hotel. It got me really curious how different his chicken rice is, from the normal chicken rice stall in a hawker or kopitiam.Years passed and I have yet made a trip down to Mandarin Hotel to satisfy my curiosity. It's the price, no question about it.If not for my hub, I could have passed by this 'Mr Chicken Rice' shop

It's not. :PI was just too hungry and it's not everyday that I can get my hub to enter a Thai Restaurant, ya know?Stir Fried Kang Kong with Shrimp Paste (8/10)It was so tasty that I kept digging into it.

I never thought I would be giving Cafe Cartel another chance again but my hub suggested that we give it a try. Perhaps that was really an isolated case or have they made efforts to improve since?

This is a hidden gem. Vegeterian Rice (9/10) And I really mean it when I say it is 'hidden' because unlike all other main courses, you can't even see the staff preparing it when you order. The staff had to go all the way to the 'back' of the kitchen to get it. Rice is fragrant and well-executed. A very simple but satisfying meal! :)Don't remind me of the queue and waiting time, though. >_<'

The long queue and all the extreme good/bad reviews got me curious.When I saw that there was only a duo in front of us, I quickly prompted my hub to stand in the queue.

I am not surprised to read bad reviews about this restaurant, because I too, had tasted really bad food here before. And it was on the occasion when I suggested to dine there in an outing. I was a bit embarrassed by the lousy recommendation that I have made back then. :PMaybe 'inconsistency' is a better word to describe the food here, for all the food were to my liking on my previous visit.

Spizzico

2008-10-03T00:42:00.002+08:00

Before we travel, we were strongly encouraged to try the nutella crepe in spizzico. Aren't we glad that we took this advice! Nutella Crepe (10/10)Imagine. Soft, thin layers of crepe filled with rich, chocolatey nutella. One bite sends the excess brown substance oozing out from the crepe and to the corner of your mouth, which you quickly, but subtley licked off. Two very simple ingredients

Italian Pizza

Pizza (9/10)Do not belittle this ordinary looking pizza. It may not have rich toppings (in fact, it has nothing more than tomato!), but with its thin and crispy crust (albeit charred), it's pizza at its best.This is the first time I manage to finish four slices of a pizza at one go!ooo... he's one happy Italian chef.Hot dog bun (6/10)I think they better stick to what they are best at - pizzas.

We were curious and curiosity cost us 10Euros each. :PThat's the price of a cup of Gucci coffee. I guess the most pressing question you could have for me right now is, 'Any differences from the coffee we have?'Gucci Menu"No" shall be my reply. It's just the brand, really.What probably makes up for the price is the chocolates that came complimentary with the coffee. Then again, we can't go wrong

It has the smoothness of a good soya beancurd in Singapore, but carries the taste of milk and ginger. That's all I can say. The first few spoons was like wow. Maybe because of the novelty and the fact that

HK Shangri-la

2008-05-09T00:52:00.004+08:00

... not the hotel, but a noodle shop. :PSeems like HK people love Cai Lan very much. Quite a few restaurants use his photos as an advertisement. :P And somehow, it worked. The restaurants with his photos are usually fully occupied.You are allowed to choose your soup base. Either the normal one or the spicy one. If you choose the latter, you will be asked to choose from abt 8 levels of spiciness.

Macau Pokka Cafe

2008-05-09T00:40:00.003+08:00

There are quite a few Pokka Cafes in HK/Macau. We dined in the Macau Yaohan outlet. For those who are in my generation (tee-hee), you would probably remember that there was a Yaohan in Singapore many years back.Two queues. The 'non-smoking' queue was at number 10 already and there were none in the 'smoking' queue. As much as we dislike the smoking area, our growling stomaches insisted that we

We tried a few of the so-called famous pork burgers in Macau. So-so only.

Macau Egg Tarts

2008-05-07T01:13:00.005+08:00

No wonder they say Egg Tarts in macau are a must-try. I second that! Portuguese Egg Tarts (10/10)Soft and sweet egg fillings. Very nice. Had a second go after half an hour or so. :P

Macau Zi Wei Man Wu

That was before we realised that there's a food court in Venetian too. :(Soup (3/10)I struggled to finish this bowl of expensive soup. Fried Rice (8/10)Would be better if it is not flooded with green pepper and onion.

HK Fish noodles

2008-05-07T00:48:00.004+08:00

Pork strips with special sauce (7/10)The noodles were thin and Q, but the pork were too hard for chewing, let alone digestion. :PFish noodles (7/10)The fish cake were good, but overall, this dish is quite bland.

HK Bubba Gump

2008-05-06T23:40:00.006+08:00

Inspired by Forrest Gump. The name is way too cool. This is the default sign when you don't need any help. The waiters/waitresses will 'run' along and do their stuff. If you need help, you don't have to call out to them. Just use the 'stop sign'... I still prefer to signal/call them. :P No idea why they used this pingpong bat for their drinks menu.

HK Saint's Alp Teahouse

2008-05-06T23:06:00.004+08:00

When you are hungry and you saw this signboard, you naturally thought it is a stall selling fried chicken or the likes.. Heck, no. It's not. And when you thought it's another foot reflexology shop or some apparel shop like Hang Ten, it's actually a snack stall. >_<"Black Tea with milk (9/10)Waffles and Fried potato wrapped in crepe (10/10)

2008-05-06T22:09:00.005+08:00

We were told by the hotel bellboy that claypot rice is a must-try in temple street and that all the stalls serve equally good claypot rice. We can't help but feel we were duped.Claypot Rice (7/10) Look at what other food they served. Bloody clams? Ew...

The Grill @ Hill Crest

2008-04-20T23:38:00.003+08:00

Many people who have tasted wagyu beef go gaga over it. I wanted my hubby to try it too. After weighing the pros and cons (Les Amis Au Jardin was wayyy beyond my budget) and a few rejects because some restuarants were not opened on Sundays, I settled for 'The Grill @ HillCrest', just a few steps away from our favourite Fish & Chips restaraunt - Greenwood Fish Market. When we were shown the menu,

Nogawa

2008-04-20T23:26:00.010+08:00

A day to celebrate! And because this is a special occasion in favour of my hub, I of course had to include his favourite Japanese food in the plan!I did extensive research on Japanese food and chanced upon Nogawa again. Nogawa was what I have shortlisted for a feast last year but did not eventually go with it because of the steep pricing. I have decided to go ahead with it this year... Anything

Sushi Tei

2008-04-19T23:15:00.001+08:00

Anybody who has visited Vivocity during meal times would be very familiar with the long queue outside Sushi Tei. I am so glad that we don't have to join the queue. ;) That's what I like about visiting a popular restaurant during off-peak hours. Chanwanmushi (9/10) This should be the best I have taken so far. Wobbly, melt-in-the-mouth steamed egg with generous additions of (unexpected) ingredients

Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits

2008-04-19T23:11:00.005+08:00

Hubby brought me to T3 today. Spacious. I like the smart design of having aluminium louvres to reflect sunlight into the building... That's about it. :PI can hardly find clusters of people around, like I always would in the other two terminals... until I went to the Basement 2... coz that's where all the food are... :)~~~I am not a big fan of Popeye's cartoon, but I thought I should give this a

Cedele Depot

2008-04-13T23:36:00.003+08:00

I knew I was going to lay my hands teeth on a cedele cake anytime. I have passed by it too many times to ignore the beckoning from the cakeys. Chocolate Truffle Cake (8/10)This is a popular recommendation made by most floggers. And because chocolate's my favourite too, I didn't take long to choose.I say this is nice! I find 'mousse-like mixture' (as described by Ice) too overwhelming though. In

2008-04-12T23:19:00.002+08:00

Sometimes, you just want to try out that new product even before getting the facts right on what you will be getting. Mcgriddles Sausage & Egg (6/10)Fans of Mac's hotcake would probably love this... ... for they are nothing more than sausage and egg sandwiched between two slightly sweetened hotcakes. My hub love it. =/If there's any Mac breakfast that I have enjoyed most in my life, it has to

One of my friends once told me, "Our local Shih Lin chicken cutlet is nothing compared to the authentic Taiwan Shih Lin night market's chicken cutlet."I have tried the Taiwan's version. Yes, the one with the super long queue. I too, queued (in the drizzle) for a good 20-25 minutes just to buy this 'must try'. :P Frankly speaking, I felt that it was over-rated by many.Taiwan's Hao Da Chicken

"Shall we take a quick bite at Quick Bite?" I sms-ed JN.I suggested that not because of any good reviews or whatsoever, but because the name of the snack stall matches with what we were going to have before rushing for our 730pm show. Sounds silly right? :PAnyway it turned out that the food was not bad!Original Lover (8/10)The rice tasted great with the sauce. Its level of sweetness was just

Lotus Thai Viet

2008-03-30T23:28:00.007+08:00

Whenever I go to a food court, I will usually walk one big round before deciding what to have. Sometimes, I ended up ordering food from the first stall I passed by. :P This time, I zoomed straight into Lotus Thai Viet. I knew there are still many dishes waiting for me to try. Minced Chicken Omelette with rice (9/10) I wanted to order the set, which consisted of the main (above), a bowl of tom yam
