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!

Big Breakfasts in San Francisco (Part I)
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007We’re not talking about the one you get at McDonalds. We’re talking about the massive, King Kong-sized gutbursting meals that seemed to be served every morning in San Francisco. Here’s but a few of them.
Lori’s Diner
We went to the Powell Street branch of Lori’s Diner, a 50s-themed restaurant packed with memorabilia from that era.
Check out this portion of […]
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: 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: 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 […]
Recipe: Milk & Honey Bread
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007Most people are amazed when they hear I make my own bread. Making bread has earned itself such an intimidating reputation that few dare to try it. But it really isn’t that difficult. It just takes patience - LOTS of it. Each batch requires at least 3 hours from start to end, of which almost […]
Recipe: Corny Muffins
Sunday, March 25th, 2007Â
Daniel and I were browsing through the supermarket shelves when we spotted some cornmeal. He loves cornbread so I decided to bake some corn muffins - with a low fat twist. Obviously, my butter-loving guy wasn’t too thrilled about that, but I was determined to prove that low fat doesn’t mean tasteless. And I dare […]
