« Previous EntriesReview: Ricciotti Italian Deli & Pastry
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007I have certain expectations when it comes to modern Italian-Australian cuisine, especially having lived in Melbourne, Australia for almost five years. I even lived for two years just a few streets away from Melbourne’s famous Lygon Street, the city’s Italian food mecca. We’ve been to Ricciotti at The Riverwalk before, and it’s a pretty fair representation of the laid-back […]
Review: Fig & Olive Cafe
Thursday, August 30th, 2007
Feeling rather adventurous one Saturday evening, Daniel and I decided to brave the crowds at VivoCity for dinner. Knowing we would get lost in the vast expanse of the shopping mall, we searched the VivoCity website for eating places before setting out. We decided on Fig & Olive Cafe - we once saw its Tanjong Pagar […]
Review: e.BlackBoard
Friday, August 24th, 2007Most of us have heard about how Botak Jones introduced American food to the HDB heartlands crowd, with its popularity no doubt boosted by its use of young ang-moh girls as wait staff (heartland ah-peks like that kind of novelty). What is less commonly known, is that e.BlackBoard is making a similar culinary impact in Bedok South - sans girls.
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: ABOF Restaurant & Tea Lounge
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007Esther isn’t really a fan of Scandinavian food and hence took a little pursuading to enter ABOF Restaurant & Tea Lounge. She only relented after perusing the menu outside the door for a good ten minutes or so…
Review: Cafe Swiss
Saturday, March 17th, 2007Esther and I weren’t feeling too hungry last night so we decided to grab something light for dinner (we had originally planned to go Esmirada in CHIJMES). She had just finished an office event at Swissotel Stamford so we popped into the nearby all-day dining restaurant Cafe Swiss in Raffles City Shopping Centre instead.
