ladyironchef writes: I am determined to find the best sweet and sour pork in Singapore, and it may seem strange that I’m looking for it at Holland Village Fish Head Bee Hoon – the zi char place famous for their XO Fish Head Bee Hoon and San Lou Hor Fun. Having grown up in Holland Drive, my family always ate at the coffee shop whenever my mother did not cook. There used to be a Western food stall which had very good chicken chop, but it had since relocated to somewhere else a couple of years ago. Other than that, everyone else came for the famous Holland Village Fish Head Bee Hoon....

thenomadGourmand writes: Last week’s turbulent state of affairs (work-wise & privately) left me in the doldrums for a while. Though it was nothing in the region of life & death, the whole episode got me reflective, both on the past (NEVER a good thing) and sat me down hard to re-look at the company I keep. To cut a long tale short, a valuable lesson was learnt, (sadly the hard way), some suspicions confirmed (I’m freaking glad!) & the answer to a very important question of  “should I or should I not” was determined. This week, I shall set forth with positivity & bask in the warmth of the genuine support that I received from the few genuine people that matters (you know who you ...

Glenn writes: Private Affairs has a Sunday Brunch, that is available from 11.30 to 3.30pm. Priced from $68++/$30++ per adult/child below 12, the brunch allows for a single order of main course, and an unlimited flow of appetizers and desserts. An additional $50++, gives you free flow of house sparkling, red and white wine or $15++ for free flow of juices and soft drinks. Rather than just a complimentary bread platter, three tiers of ‘fill-me-ups’ was served. On the first tier were a Creamy Yogurt topped with Berry Espuma and a Strawberry & Raisin Museli. I much preferred the Museli though! On the 2nd tier, A platter of Banana & Walnut ...

myfoodsirens writes: Le Bistrot is a casual French bistro that’s known for its service-with-no-pretences, and equally unpretentious food. The kitchen is helmed by Chef Lee, who has trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and the cuisine is on the classic/traditional side with a modern twist to it. Menu is prix fixe, meaning it’s fixed prices for either a two ($50++)- or a three-course ($60++) meal and it’s the same menu/price for lunch and dinner. Ala carte is available ($18++ for entree/dessert, $40++ for main) but it doesn’t make sense (at least, to me) to order ala carte since the prix fixe menu is definitely more value for money. Kir Royal ($16.50++)...

Justin Daniel Pereira writes: I can’t believe I actually queued for 25minutes for a plate of chicken rice! Ok fine, while my queue at Ippudo Ramen was slightly longer (at about 45 minutes), this is still after all chicken rice, at a coffeeshop. But if you follow the old adage that all good things come with a wait, then it is most certain that this particular dish whipped up by the stall (Bugis St) Ming Kee Chicken Rice is well worth it. ...

550ml jar of faith writes: Organised retail is a tough call. On one hand, our heinous traffic/public transport conundrum presents a commercial case for the ongoing erection of these mercenary all-in-one monoliths. But sticking in air-conditioning and opening the shutters are hardly sufficient to convert window shoppers to serious ones, given the stiff competition and growing disdain for these hastily built but ultimately malfunctioning edifices. Zouk Cafe & Bar at the Gardens in Mid Valley is an example of an outlet with failed potential given the captive traffic who work in the vicinity and starved for choice to wind down on a Friday evening. ...

Wilson Ng writes: Mercedes Benz Driving Experience 2010 – Sepang F1 International Circuit Fortnight ago, I received a call from my car dealer offering me a driving experience that I couldn’t resist – The Mercedes Benz Driving Experience 2010 at  Sepang F1 International Circuit. I was very excited as not only I’m going to drive different classes of Mercedes Benz but also I’m going to learn more about my Mercedes and also the safety features of it. It’s something that I would love to experience myself. Reaching there on time, I was joined by other car owners and dealers. We were assigned to groups with top class professional instructors. The were given a talk about the technology of the safety features ...
