superfinefeline writes: Chicken Curry Puff @ S$1.20This is one of my favourite stalls at East Coast Lagoon Food Village. I would usually buy a curry puff to munch on while waiting for the rest of the food to be served. For those who are unfamiliar with curry puffs, these are a popular snack in Singapore. Think of them as spiced up mini versions of Calzones (covered pizzas) or Cornish Pasties or Empanadas.Mum and I have been major fans of this curry puff for as long as I can remember as we both love our spices! Since I was already at the hawker ...

superfinefeline writes: A friend, DB, and I had a discussion about pork knuckles recently. He was sceptical about the Stewed Pork Knuckles that I was raving about from East Coast Lagoon Food Village. Anyway, all this discussion about pork knuckles got me craving them as the last time I ate them was about 2-3 months ago when SH and I were out cycling at East Coast on a Sunday. Stewed Pork Knuckle @ S$5.50I am currently taking a break between jobs which afforded me a little more ...

superfinefeline writes: It has been a while since C and I met up as we've both had such busy schedules the past few months. We finally caught up over a leisurely lunch at Pamplemousse Bistro + Bar last Saturday. Pamplemousse is a cosy bistro in Dempsey Hill run by husband and wife, Chef Adrian Ling and Cleo Chiang-Ling. Despite the spotty reviews that I've read, the Francophile in me was intrigued by this bistro because it bears such a beautiful name that essentially refers to the humble grapefruit. Thankfully, my fellow Francophile, C, was game to try it too. ...

superfinefeline writes: Image courtesy of Sixth Sense Communications & The Muthu's FlavorsI was invited by Noelle of Sixth Sense Communications & PR Consultancy to attend a tasting session at The Muthu's Flavors located at 313 @ Somerset some weeks back. I reckon most Singaporeans are very familiar with Muthu's Curry, a family-style dining institution in Singapore, famous for their Fish Head Curry. Muthu's Flavors is a refreshing departure from Muthu's Curry's traditional style of communal dining, the focus here is on ...

superfinefeline writes: I'm a caffeine fiend and function best after I've had at least a cup of strong coffee or tea for the day. Though I love both coffee and tea, it's a warm cup of strong aromatic coffee that usually has me grinning from ear to ear like the Cheshire Cat from Lewis Caroll's Alice in Wonderland. When I heard that Barista Danny Pang (previously from Geek Terminal) was going to conduct some coffee appreciation classes at the AFC ...

superfinefeline writes: Hi everyone, sorry for the long radio silence as I'd been busy with work, cycling, recharging and catching up with old friends. I'm glad to finally be able to find some time to write. Swiss Butchery invited me to a tasting session at Swiss Grill some weeks back. It fell on the same day as the launch of Restaurant Week, so I was not terribly hungry when I arrived for the tasting session. However, I love meats and sausages, so I found quite a bit of room within my tummy to accomodate more food. :)...

superfinefeline writes: We stumbled upon this gem of a noodle house by accident. We were in a cab trying to find our way to the famous Cheong Fun stall called Tong Kee in Jordan, Kowloon. However, in my haste to get food, I saw "Tong Kee" on the sign and told the cabby that we were at the desired location. It was only when we walked in, sat down and looked at the menu that we realised that they didn't sell Cheong Fun at all. Rats! The stallkeepers were pretty nice. They told us that the stall we were looking for ...
