Born and raised in a traditional Chinese family, it can definitely get quite challenging as a Food Writer to recommend a restaurant for dinner. To them, Foie gras would be more of a cardiovascular catalyst than a delicacy, and Pastas would be noodles without belacan (chili). Thankfully with the opening of Canton Paradise @ 112 [...]
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 [...]
Whether you’re a burly man or a femme fatale, there are certain things in life that can be enjoyed by both sexes and premium ice cream is definitely one of them. Six&Seven was recently invited down to the launch of Häagen-Dazs‘s High Tea Affair menu, and while Saunders & myself are not exactly the target audience [...]

Located at the new office building Asia Square, restaurants there reflect [...]
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. Tucked away in the noted neigbourhood of Mohamed Sultan Road lies the nondescript shophouse of Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse, Singapore’s first [...]
Open up “messages” on your iPhone and send an apology message to everyone you have made plans with this weekend; Savour 2012, the first gourmet fiesta to hit our shores, brings together a world for all gourmet lovers. You will be treated to culinary displays from world class master chefs, workshops on wine pairings, specially imported [...]
Loyalty cards are a great way to encourage repeat visits, as well as generate sales, but what about those of us who value choice and new experiences? Well, that’s where Be Disloyal comes in!
