Bringing together the best of independent food reviews

myfoodsirens writes:  So many online reviews have praised Absinthe for its food and service that my expectations were raised correspondingly. Carpaccio of Hokkaido scallops with artichokes salad and bottarga, lemon and dill dressing ($24++). Salad of pan fried almond coated king prawns, mesclun and smoked ocean trout ($23++). Half a serving of fish and seafood bouillabaisse scented with absinthe, saffron aioli and croutons ($40++ for full portion). The house signature and rightly so! Grilled fillet of Atlantic sea bass, ...

PY writes: When I found out the cafe in place of My Secret Garden is aptly named Artichoke, I immediately like the intended pun.  Having this urgent need to confirm my understanding, I skipped there to make sure that it is not a cafe specialised in cooking artichokes.  Indeed, it is not.  Located in Scuplture Square amongst NAFA, SDT and YMC, this cafe is named with its location rather than the vegetable in mind. Scrambled Eggs with Mushroom, $16 We went to Artichoke for lunch only to find a weekend brunch-only menu.  The menu is interesting but we settled for a simple scrambled ...

vkeong writes: Old Green House restaurant (老青屋) is a popular place among Penangites to have Hokkien Mee (or Prawn Noodle in other Malaysian states) either as dinner or supper.

Daniel Hung writes: I have been eating alot at Subway these years. Besides being a healthier choice (I still need my dosage of KFC every now and then though), its one of the few fast food that really fills you up with a long sandwich (can be made even longer) and chewy cookies. While Subway has certainly gained popularity with more outlets, it needs to look out for this competitor!Quiznos landed on our shores sometime last year alongside Tully's Coffee (same franchise owner), selling sandwiches in a style that is almost identical to Subway: Queue up, choose your bread, fillings and ...

Annalakshmi Brickfields - entrance
thenomadGourmand writes: A potential explosive mood was soothed the moment I walked into Annalakshmi at Jalan Berhala, Brickfields. I very nearly gaped open-mouth in wonderment as I was ushered into the restaurant. Never had I expected that Annalakshmi to be such a posh; even at the point of being classy, restaurant. Soft indian prayers music played in the background, patrons are greeted warmly at the door & politely enquired of the number of guests; before being ushered to their seats....
