jamie writes: Very busy organizing gatherings to catch up with old friends and this time it is another gathering with another set of friends. There were altogether 10 of us, so we could order more dishes to try out. My friends were happy with the food but I think they are not too happy with the place as it is very crowded during weekends. The air-conditioning is not strong enough to support the big crowd and as a result all of us were perspiring halfway through the food and the noise too is unbearable. We all have to speak very loudly causing our throats to dry out and turning coarse. Fortunately enough and correct timing too, the manager just presented us ...

Last weekend after class, we went to Mid Valley for some shopping and of course, makan.I have been wanted to try Pappa Rich for quite some time, especially the newly open one in Ipoh, but didn't get a chance. So, we decided to try at Gardens.The place was quite crowded, but while we were waiting for seat, we saw some left over food on the table, which indirectly tells us that the food is not so good ya. Anyway, I heard a lot of positive comment about this place, so I would like to check it out myself.We ordered one cup of hot white coffee and ...

qwazymonkey writes: It has been said before that the most important thing that keeps you motivated and staying in your current job, is the people you work with. Okay, maybe it's a close second right after monetary compensations. But think about it, no matter how much money you earn, you'll loose interest in the job very quickly if you hate your colleagues and the environment you work in.Thankfully for me, the office is filled with a bunch of people who are just as crazy, if not crazier, as I am. And naturally the younger ones ...

boo_licious writes: I'm hooked on the Royale Mushroom beef burgerI've got an eternal thing going with burgers - they seem to be my reach-to-for food whenever the night falls and I'm kinda short of ideas on what to eat. When I first started working, the Ramly burger man was my saviour especially when we were crunching up numbers till late night. There was something so satisfying about biting into a sloppy Ramly burger laden with ketchup and mayonnaise that offered up some solace for the late nights. After Ramly, came the Otai burgerman, a place I often went for a quick bite since food choices were limited around the ...

ladyironchef writes: I always wanted to visit The Wine Company as a friend mentioned that it’s pretty affordable to dine there, and they have two good locations in Dempsey Hill and Evans road. I went to the Dempsey road branch and the restaurant was located on the fringe of the more populated area of Dempsey Hill. We went during the middle of the day for a quick bite. In my personal opinion, most of the items on the menu were more of finger food and drink snacks, not very appealing if you are looking for something substantial. We didn’t have any wine since it does not goes well with burgers, which was a ...

Glenn writes: The French; they truly know their romance, for I have fallen deeply in love with Jean-Charles Dubois‘ cusine. This French affair cost me S$36++ but it was worth every dollar, down to the last cent. It is in the humble opinion of your author that The French Kitchen (TFK) is now his favourite French restaurant in Singapore. The French Kitchen had been on my to-go list for the longest time, but I had not been able to be a participating party to this love affair as the set lunch is only offered on weekdays. So, when the opportunity presented itself one fine day, I thought of TFK immediately! Sidenote: When I e-mailed TFK for my reservation and permission with ...
