Whether homey or high-end, these are some of my fave places in Singapore to have a bite.
Gaggan. After all these years, I finally tried this famed chef’s take on Indian cuisine. Never planning in advance, I never made it to Gaggan during my trips to Bangkok. Bizarre considering Gaggan held the top spot in the S Pellegrino Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list for a record-breaking 4 years running from 2015 to […]
The Spot is one of my favourite dining destinations in Singapore and yet, it has taken me this long to put up an actual post. I think it’s because it has become so familiar to me that I just share pictures of the fabulous food on Instagram and that’s it. During the times when we […]
Kinou brought me to the Basque Country… in spirit, at least. If not for Covid19, we would have been driving through Spanish and French Basque Country last year, visiting places such as San Sebastian and Bayonne. Alas, it was not meant to be, but Kinou to the rescue, instead. Nestled in a shophouse, located in […]
FLNT @1-Atico is all about Nikkei cuisine, a mash-up of Peruvian ingredients prepared with Japanese techniques. Nikkei traditionally refers to Japanese people living out of Japan but it’s increasingly mentioned in relation to dining as Nikkei cuisine. It was my hubby’s birthday, and we decided on FLNT for dinner. FLNT bills itself as Singapore’s “sole […]
All right, all my low-carb dreams are coming true with Persea. They aren’t exclusively low-carb but they are carb-conscious, indicating how many pesky carbs there are in each dish. Ok, just to set the record straight, I’m a carb-lover. Way too much of one, which is why it’s imperative for me to have a low-carb […]
It has been a while since I’ve checked out a new, fine-dining restaurant. I’ve been revisiting familiar places, either out of laziness or just not being interested in any of the new openings over the past few months. But I decided to make a little more effort for lunch last week, and did an online […]
ChiChi Dining at Amoy Street is kind of a unique find I must say. Not neatly fitting into any cuisine category, I suppose I could summarise it as being local-proud, Japanese-influenced creations. We decided to take the easy route and went for the 6-course menu at $58 per person, and I can assure you that […]
{Updated Post: 7 Nov 2020} Choosing Jaan to celebrate our 15th anniversary was a no-brainer. We had been twice before and always walked away feeling duly indulged. I’ll just get straight into sharing the photos from the latest encounter since the original post has more details on other aspects. It was a 6-course degustation of […]
I’ve seen chef Rishi Naleendra’s work grow through the years. I first knew of him when I visited MACA, gosh that was a long time ago, I think 5 years ago, when I was impressed by the usage of some funky ingredients in the dishes. Then came Cheek by Jowl, serving to reinforce my impression […]
{Update: 4 Aug 2020} On account of my hubby turning the big 5-0 this year, his brother wanted to treat us to dinner, and he chose Basque Kitchen for the occasion. We initially though it was quite fitting because we were supposed to have been in Basque Country this year in May, but on account […]
