boo_licious writes: regulars dominate the sake bottles, the main man of Sumi-KaLife wouldn't be the same for this blog and its owner (that's me!), if I'm without my weekly dosage of Japanese cuisine. I honestly reckon I can eat Japanese food day in day out, if the wallet permits. Luckily our former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir did me the greatest favour long ago when he started his Look East policy as it meant Japanese companies set up business here, which sparked off the migration of Japanese cuisine here.cabbage salad, chewy ...

keropok man writes: This was a little treat over the weekend with Momo, Sis and my cousin. If you watched "Chen Ren Za Zhi" / City Beat on Singapore TV last week, you would have seen this on the show! Haagen Dazs is having Sushi Ice Cream. We were at VivoCity and after walking around, we saw Haagen Dazs and my cousin said hey, they have Sushi Ice Cream, shall we try? Our legs are tired... So we went in. Even before looking at the 'menu', we already know what we wanted. Ordered the drinks and the Sushi Platter. This is the Haagen Dazs Sushi Ice Cream Platter. ...

P. Chong writes: with Guillaume DI am just back from a week in Vancouver. It was a cold, wet March this year, the weather a bit of a havoc. For some reason, the weather was more reminiscent of winter than spring...though the cherry trees had already welcomed spring with the blossoms...The Winter Olympic Games had just finished. And on Fri, I managed to catch the Paralympic flame being passed for the opening that evening.Despite the wet weather, we managed to make our way from Sheraton Wall Center, where our conference was being held, a few blocks downtown to Kirin Restaurant.This was a highly recommended ...

Glenn writes: Michelangelo’s is the flagship restaurant the Michelangelo’s Restaurant Group. I did not have the pleasure  of dining here when Chef Angelo Sanelli was previously helming the restaurant. I guess, it is better late than never. The complimentary bread with the accompanying dips was decent. While it was served warm, it took 15 minutes before first sightings of the bread appeared on my side plate. I could hear the waiter pressuring the backroom for more bread. Sidenote: A table of 6 that arrived 10 minutes later than us, was served their bread first. While I usually am not that particular about sequences, I felt slightly irritated just because I had missed my lunch and ...

bangsar-babe writes: As a writer, I hate going out of the office to meet clients. To me, that is the job of the servicing department. Before you write me off as an introvert, note that I do enjoy mingling with people. But since I have to mingle and socialise at events after work, I’d rather not do so when I’m working. Sadly, my boss doesn’t seem to agree with my theory -- he drags me out to see clients almost all the time. At a recent client meeting, I spotted ...
