Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Whenever we’re in Melbourne, there’s one place my brother and I always hit for pizza and pasta. If you’ve ever been to La Porchetta’s, you’ll know it for its great value-for-money and down-to-earth Italian fare. When I was studying here, we used to go there almost every Friday weekend after church cell group (strangely enough […]
This Is What I Call A Steak
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008Yup, Esther ordered this whopping hunk of meat known as Mega Cut Natural Prime Rib from Hogsbreath Cafe (we went to the outlet in Dandenong, Australia). Extremely tender and flavourful, this ranks as THE CHOICE for carnivores (compare the size of the meat to the corn-cob). Thanks to cousin Richie for picking up the tab!

Chili Crab for Valentine’s Day!
Saturday, February 16th, 2008Aiyoh, Esther and I are already married.
There’s no real need to look all prim and proper to impress one another like on a first date, so Esther and I choose to eat chili crab - with our hands, no less - for Valentine’s Day. Which we, for practical reasons of course, celebrated on the 16th […]
Food Tasting at Grand Shanghai
Friday, November 2nd, 2007We recently went for our food tasting session for our wedding banquet dinner with our families at Grand Shanghai Restaurant. Esther and I had picked the place for its superior ambience - which is spectacular at night - and the restaurant’s rather impressive Chinese food.
The menu we picked was seafood-heavy - 5 of 8 dishes - which was why we picked the wine […]
Review: Minori Dining and Sake Bar
Monday, August 20th, 2007
Esther and I do love our Japanese food, and we’ve been hungering for a la carte sashimi buffet ever since Osahime removed their Saturday buffet option when they moved to Golden Shoe carpark. We went to Ikoi before, but weren’t quite so impressed. When we heard that Minori also offered a la carte buffet, we immediately placed […]
Review: Return to Perle Noire
Tuesday, August 14th, 2007(Daniel’s brother David loving his pasta in the previous visit)
A few days after our last experience at Perle Noire, Daniel was already talking about going back there. So when his birthday came around, it was on top of our list. Would it get the thumbs-up like it did in our previous visit?
Review: Big Eater Seafood
Sunday, July 15th, 2007Fellow foodie Martin Goh recently recommended Big Eater to us, raving especially about the zhi-char place’s KL-style hokkien mee and liked that it came with “lots of yummy fried lard bits”. Hmmm not exactly something which attracts our weight-conscious Esther, but she did like this style of hokkien mee.
Review: Mom’s Birthday at Perle Noire
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007Together with my brother David and his wife Krystina, Esther and I brought Mom to celebrate her birthday at the recently opened Perle Noire (which means “Black Pearl”) along East Coast Road near Siglap Centre. It had gotten a great review from The Sunday Times’ Wong Ah Yoke, as well as one from ieatishootipost’s Leslie Tay, for its wonderful grilled […]
Review: Cafe Oliv
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007Some many weeks ago Esther and I had read in TODAY that entrepreneurial young chef and SHATEC graduate Kevin Heng bravely set up a new eatery along the famous Katong and East Coast Road food stretch. Recently, we finally found the time to pop by at Cafe Oliv for a visit.
Review: Foo House
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007After a tiring but fun day at Jurong Bird Park last Saturday - Esther wanted to catch the ongoing penguin parade - we were craving for a good burger. We passed on Bongo Burgers located in the park itself (it was quite empty when we walked by) and decided to hit Astons Specialties instead. When we reached the […]
