Posted on July 29, 2011 by

OChre’s located all the way up in the 11th floor of Orchard Central, so you can expect to see a panoramic view of the entire Orchard Road. The breads were all right, but I’m not so much of a fan … Continue reading →

Barcelona- their seafood and architecture

Posted on July 27, 2011 by

Barcelona is extremely densely populated. Bordering the city is the Collserola mountain range, and the Mediterranean sea. An architectural style, art noveau, is reflected in the works of the famous Antoni Gaudí. I would describe his style as being very organic, … Continue reading →

Posted on July 25, 2011 by

This blog’s first post was about Jewels Artisan’s Chocolate, and I also said before that if I were to rank my favourites I would put theirs first. I hardly go to Orchard Central, so I haven’t been eating their macarons … Continue reading →

Ramen Champion- Bario and Iroha

Posted on July 24, 2011 by

Personally I find the facade of Iluma quite ugly, especially at night when the glowing lights are switched on. The inside however, is really spacious. I went there with the friend awhile back with the purpose of visiting their Ramen … Continue reading →

The wonders of store-bought puff pastry

Posted on July 18, 2011 by

I bought ready-made puff pastry that didn’t require rolling out- just thaw and use. Pampas Puff Pastry sold in Phoon Huat is cheaper ($6.20 I think) as compared to another brand I bought from NTUC, and they tasted just as good. … Continue reading →

The Da Paolo Group has a Bistro Bar in Rochester Park. We went on a Monday afternoon. It was by chance that we tried out this place (most of the other places were closed) but I’m so glad we did … Continue reading →

La Cueva

Posted on July 12, 2011 by

While in Seville we stumbled upon a gem, tucked along one of those cobblestone lanes in the Santa Cruz Quarter. It’s pretty close to the Cathedral of Seville which you probably won’t miss visiting since it’s the third largest in the … Continue reading →

ET Artisan Sweets, Vanilla Choux = Vanilla Heaven

Posted on July 9, 2011 by

I wasn’t planning to eat my vanilla choux because the family dinner was just an hour away but I succumbed to temptation by the time I reached the car(sigh). The first bite really jolted my senses- similar to what happened … Continue reading →

Wah Lok Restaurant

Posted on July 8, 2011 by

I must say dim sum here is not the cheapest, but that’s probably because so many things are made in-house. Take this walnut cream for instance. Our waitress told us the walnuts are painstakingly ground by the chefs to produce … Continue reading →
