Lyrical Lemongrass writes: Herb Crusted Sliced Smoked Duck with Fruit Salad I may as well make hay while the sun shines by putting up another blog post before I accidentally slip into hibernation mode again.   I have thousands of photographs in my archive, all waiting for their stories to be told, but this blog post must be written because it marks the reunion of a sisterhood that was formed several years back.   Precious Pea, who had just come back from Melbourne, gave me, Boo and Paps a reason to get together again for one of our lengthy meals lit up not only ...

boo_licious writes: durian pancakes - yummy yummyAt this small stall within the food court at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, it's literally a shrine dedicated to the King of Fruit aka the creamy, delectable and unique smelling durian. We stumbled on this place last weekend and had a great laugh at its signboard - "Durian Durian" that reminded us of what would have happened if Duran Duran, that 1980s band had made a major typo error. the making of a tempting treatI was so tempted to try many things here but decided to restraint myself since I'm the only ...

keropok man writes: Our aunt came over and brought us a box of Chang last night. She said it's very nice, it's from Kim Choo Kueh Chang, the peranakan bak chang. When we opened the box, we saw 6 tiny cute changs inside. It's the mini changs that sells for 80 cents each. We were tempted! We seldom eat supper, but we decided to heat them up! 3 littles ones to try. The strings are so colourful!...

The Hungry Cow writes: Muthu's Curry is one of the stalwarts in the Indian restaurant scene here in Singapore. When it comes to Fish Head Curry and Race Course Road, there are only that few establishments that have endured the test of time.But with the changing times, Muthu's Curry has launched a new, casual chic concept featuring authentic North and South Indian flavours. I was curious at what this actually meant and hence was happy to accept their invitation to a lunch tasting. When asked if I would like a drink, I usually stick to wine iced water. This is one of the best thirst-quenchers and is healthy too. But media tastings are a platform to showcase the ...

Justin Daniel Pereira writes: Its been quite some time and I am very excited of Sakae Sushi’s new menu. A new design on the menu with refreshing dishes of both past and present, I’d reckon that this is a step in the right move. After all, Sakae Sushi is simply more than just an affordable all you can eat buffet. It is about casual yet contemporary Japanese dining in a comfortable setting for everyone. First up for starters, I had ...

Glenn writes: When you think of authentic family run Italian restaurants in Singapore, two names come in mind. Osvaldo’s and Ristorante da Valentino. I’ve been to Ristorante da Valentino a couple of times prior to my food blogger career, and I thought that an entry on Valentino’s was in order. So, my dining partner and myself trotted down to Valentino’s, one late Sunday afternoon. Note to Readers: I apologise for my low quality photographs as it was my first attempt at my then-new macro lens. For clearer photographs, you may wish to read myfoodsiren’s review. Valentino’s complimentary bread roll, served alongside a taste pleasing pesto dip, had got to be one of the better ones around. Although ...

Wilson Ng writes: Cherating Turtle Sanctuary Visit Our stay in Cherating last year gave us opportunities to visit places in Chukai and Cherating like the Cherating Turtle Sanctuary. Going to Cherating Turtle Sanctuary is a must in Cherating. After enjoying the sandy white beaches of Cherating, the turtle sanctuary is located within the hotel areas of the main road of Cherating. There are lots of road signs showing the direction to the turtle sanctuary. We followed the signs and found the sanctuary. In fact, the Cherating Turtle Sanctuary is actually located quite near to the Cherating Club Med.  Just a few steps away. The sanctuary is a traditional Malay house design. Well, we seen lots of turtles on TV, ...

C.Y. writes: *Note to Readers: This review is from my frequent guest author, CY. I’m quite a fan of Cze Char because to me, its these places where you will find great food at prices your wallet can endure.  Recently, a group of my friends went over to Melben Seafood at Toa Payoh.  Melben has 2 outlets in Singapore, one at Toa Payoh and the other at Ang Mo Kio. Melben specializes in seafood, crab in articular. They have many methods of preparation; literally, you will be spoiled for choice! What I like of Melben is the manner in which they price their crabs. Unlike your run-of-the-mill Cze Czar outlet, you are not charged by how ...

myfoodsirens writes: Brunch (breakfast + lunch) easily turned into tunch (lunch + high tea) as we ate, talked and laughed at Private Affairs. I didn’t expect to spend more than 4 hours there but we did! Amazing how time flies when food is involved. Sunshine Brunch (11.30 to 3.30pm) takes the form of a semi-ala carte buffet with a single order of main course and unlimited flow of appetisers and desserts. Prices start from $68++/$30++ per adult/child below 12. Add $50++ for free flow of house sparkling, red and white wine or $15++ for free flow of juices and soft drinks. Brunch started with a lovely 3 tier afternoon tea stand of sunny essentials. Though nothing extraordinary, I ...

jamie writes: I am very health conscious and thus do not like deep fried oily food. I have actually passed by this fast food counter many times but the name '老油鬼鬼' gave me the impression that they serve all the oily stuffs so I have never bothered to check out their menu all these while. However after having walked for hours in 1Utama and felt that we need to sit down to rest our poor feet and have a light snack, we chanced to pass by '老油鬼鬼 I Love YOO!' and the menu of Set B offering You Tiao and Soya Bean @ RM3.90 caught my eye. I love soy milk and after checking out their you tiao which does not look ...
