The problem with running a café specializing in pies is that no one, in Singapore at least, ever wakes up thinking “I want to have pie for lunch”. Think lunch, and that bowl of laksa or braised lamb shank come to mind. Well, if you like to have your savoury sweet dessert pies with your [...]
When in Rome, do as the Romans do – and I’m not hinting at puling a Nicki Minaj. Besides serving up a medley of mains and roasts, as Saunders has previously reviewed, it is only natural that Canton Paradise would present the Cantonese culinary art of dim sum. Known as ‘dian xin’ (Mandarin), literally “a [...]
There’s nothing like a bit of competition to really get Singaporeans going – why else would the newer models of the MRTs and buses have fewer seats? As with the bubble tea stalls and artisan ice cream shops popping up till I can hardly keep track, the local artisan bakery scene has also started to [...]
Singaporeans love their beef, and I’m not just talking about our youths’ hot-blooded tendencies to start a fight. Steakhouses are aplenty on our sunny island, but Six&Seven is always game for something new and unique.

So it was no surprise that we started our meal at Loco Spanish Tapas Bar @ Boat Quay with a glass [...]
If it were one thing that transforms a good meal into a great meal, it would be ambiance. Everyone who has planned a date has gone through the difficulties of trying to achieve that special atmosphere, or mood, to relay their heartfelt thoughts – after all, as the song goes, you say it best when [...]
Raffles place executives will be pleased to know of the new Japanese inspired café – Kohii @ One Shenton. If you are looking to break away from your mundane lunches, Kohii serves up Japanese inspired salads and sandwiches at affordable prices. Knowing Singapore’s blistering heat, the absence of an indoor-seating option can be quite a [...]
One thing I love about the east is the variety of food available. Seriously, if I were to throw a stone, I would either hit an F&B outlet, or someone dining there! Almost everything is within reach, especially with the addition of a cinema at the newly opened I12 Katong mall, it’s surprising how people [...]
