Ju Shin Jung Korean Charcoal BBQ Restaurant @Robertson Walk

Located at Roberston Walk, in the middle of the courtyard, this Korean restaurant is not hard to miss among all the European bars and restaurants around. The place! We were early for our reservation, and hence was one of the few to start our meals. We were led to a room with many copper exhaust pipes, the usual ones for Korean BBQ, albeit the pipes...

Pepenero @Chinatown, Telok Ayer

The Telok Ayer area on a weekday could get really quiet, and Stanley Street is one of it. This quaint place with Italian decor is equally quiet as well. When we entered the restaurant, there was only one table of two. As we ate, there were only 3 tables who came in. The servers knew their stuff and were quite prompt, a few times asking if my bread...

Fern & Kiwi @Clarke Quay

The menu prices are not ordinary. It costs $35 to $45 for a main dish, and appetizers are well above $10. It's for tourists, set in a touristy area, so, wallets, be well-prepared. The service is great, staff prompt and friendly. Just don't sit on the second level, near the kitchen, if you want to enjoy your expensive dinner like a fine dining place....

The Sushi Bar @Orchard, Far East Plaza

I really wondered what the hype is all about. My friends are all talking about it, and the queue is long, the few times I walked past it around evenings. I finally gave it a try on a public holiday, after all, queues are inevitable everywhere in Singapore on a PH. Just a matter of which one's more worth your time. While in the queue, a friendly lady...

Baja Fresh Mexican Grill @Dhoby Ghaut, Bras Basah

Having been to Muchachos only recently, we can't help but to compare these two places, although we knew the environment is different. Here in Baja (pronounced as Ba - Ha, like Ja-lepeno is Ha-lepeno) Fresh, it's more of a fast food ordering style. The ingredients are really fresh, even though we had a pretty late dinner, at 9pm on a weekday, and they...

Pique Nique @Jurong, JCube

There was quite abit of negative reviews on Hungry Go where, but I visited this place with an open mind, as I have bought some vouchers with the mall's promotion at JCube. I have always wanted to visit this quaint-looking place in Ngee Ann City anyway. There is a big open space in the middle, supposedly for large groups, with astro turf grounds, providing...

Medz, Rainbow Cake @Orchard Central

This store has closed at this location... -------- We were rushing around Somerset to find a cake for dear mummy, after deciding last minute that another birthday cake before the clock chimes 12 would be another birthday surprise. But, we were running late! It was 9pm when we finally had errands done and had this idea and started hunting. But the...

Lola's Cafe @Kovan, Simon Rd

It was full during a weekday lunch, but I heard there has been hour-long queues for this cafe on weekends. They had an iPad-call system (somewhat like Saveur's), but we were quickly given a table nonetheless. What's interesting is that, we were given a vintage sewing machine as our table! The whole interior is quite cozy, with bits of quirky deco,...

Mariott Cafe @Orchard, Mariott Hotel

The buffet is one of the better ones I have seen. Seafood, they have Alaskan Snow Crab (legs...), but they do not have lobsters. Whatever you'd expect is there for a buffet is there- live carving station, Japanese, ice cream, desserts, local and western cuisine... They have more of Western dishes, which I am glad, as I am not a fan of paying expensive...

Yoshimaru Ramen Bar @Holland Village

There are way too many good Ramen places in Singapore. Sadly, this isn't one of my favourites.  Squeezy and small, you can hear the conversation next table quite clearly. I bought a deal coupon, (or perhaps that's the reason why the food wasn't good?) and only had one choice- Creamy Black Sesame Pork Ramen ($12.80). We were first served...

Muchachos @Outram, Keong Saik

Up and coming Keong Saik, this restaurant ain't new here. Ben here for quite awhile, but I haven't had the chance to try it, till now. Located at a new bustling area of China town on a stretch of other restaurants, beside Potato Head Folks and the likes. The Place Choose your protein! When we first stepped in, (the doors...
