It is needless to say most people aspire to own a luxury sports car – be it a Ferrari or a Maserati. If you say no, then you really should stop lying to yourself. While most of us are out of that income bracket, the desperate few among us, clearly with child-abandonment issues and seeking [...]
As food writers, it is only normal that both Saunders and myself are armed with answers for the many “What’s your favourite place for ‘insert-random-food’?” questions that our dining companions shoot at us. With the recent rise in brand name bakeries – a trend I doubt would cease in the decent future, like the many [...]
The general word when finding a job is that one should do something he loves. While that is partially true, evidently in the relentless pursuit of money seen in some, there are some of us who are truly passionate about our job albeit doing it repetitively every day.

It was Restaurant Week last week – a dining paradise for many, but a food nightmare for Food Writers. Jasper and myself were scrambling through the list making reservations at more restaurants than our stomachs or gym time could handle. First stop: The Exchange. Located at the new office building Asia Square, restaurants there reflect [...]
It is said that 2012 is the year of the underdogs, and with the rise of many new favourites, Six&Seven can hardly disagree. Helmed by Frédéric Colin, formerly the Executive Chef at The St. Regis Singapore, Brasserie Gavroche is an instant standout in the IT food scene—just like their restaurant signboard. Designed similarly to that [...]
