Cheesecake Cafe @ Siglap

Another cake shop which I love to visit is the cheesecake cafe. I had been there umpteen times and always impressed with their cheesecakes. They do sell non cheesecakes such as tiramisu and etc. If you first step into the cafe, you will find the decoration of the cafe is very Greek style. A lot of status were hanging on the wall or on the side of the table. I ordered their oreo cheesecake, mango cheesecake and tiramisu. I almost manage to finish the 3 slices at one go, so sinful. Haha. The shop had a rules as in if you dine in, you must order at least one item. Enjoy the cake while imagining you are at Greece worshipping the god. 




Cake Glace @ Icon Village

This cake shop is located at Tanjong Pagar Icon Village. They sell very nice pastries and well known for ice cheese tarts. Recently, I bought 2 whole cakes from the shop. Something worth mentioning, they do the cake within an hour after I placed the order. Impressive. I ordered a fruit cake and a green tea tiramisu. 
Both cakes are nice. The cake is very spongy and the fruits is sweet and fresh. The fresh cream is sweet, not too over. The price is a bit high but is worth it. Give it a try and impressed your loved one with the pastries.

Siglap Fu Lin Yong Tau foo

I am recommending this Yong Tau Foo shop, Fu Lin, in Siglap area. I had been there a couple of times already since June BB brought me there. This is a no pork no lard place. The ingredients were freshly made and the noodle is very special. I had brought some of my colleague to this place before and everyone were singing praise after eating it. Give it a try if you happen to be nearby Siglap. Maybe you will be hooked.    



Yoshimaru Ramen @ Holland Village

I tried a ramen shop at holland village. It was called Yoshimaru ramen bar. The place was not very big and long queue was spotted during dinner period. I ordered their traditional ramen with a char siew rice bowl. The noodle was very nice as well as the soup. Their egg was also well made. Yummy. The rice bowl was equally as good. It took me awhile to finish everything that was served. Great. Remember to visit this ramen shop if you are hanging around holland village. Definitely will not disappoint except the long queue and waiting time. Enjoy!

Otto Locanda @ maxwell chamber


A special occasion so I decided to go to a place which I never been before, the maxwell chambers at Tanjong Pagar. Actually, we wanted to visit another italian restaurant, but I suppose it had closed down and replaced by this restaurant which I am going to recommend later. The new restaurant is Otto Locanda. The decoration of the place having a cosy feel and the service of the staff were excellent. On that evening, we were early so just the 2 of us as if I had booked the whole place, haha. 
We ordered one speciality of the restaurant which look like wraps, 2 mains and 1 dessert. As usual, bread with olive oil to start with. Next, the wraps were good. The ingredients inside the wrap consists of smoked salmon and cheese. Thumb up! The mains I had was equally as good. There were potato gnocchi with crab meat with very special sauce. I love it. BB june had a Fettuccine and a tart for the evening. 
A marvellous dinner for this special day. Great! Recommend to go and try their foods.

Nando @ Plaza Singapura

I visited Nando last week for dinner at Plaza Singapura. Nando is famous for its grilled chicken. I ordered a very special dish, hanging grilled chicken skewers with 2 sides. BB June ordered a 1/4 grilled chicken with 2 sides. You still can choose the level of spicyness of the grilled chicken. Something worth mentioning about their side was their  garlic bread is very nice. The bread is soft with a light garlic smell. The other side, which was spinach was not very impressive, not the same as what I thought it will turn out to be. Overall, the chicken were good. If you are a fans of chicken, visit nando and you will be impressed by their way of marination and the way how the chicken was cooked.






Ireland Potato

I visited this new shop in Bugis+ a weeks back as it had been advertising on magazines a couple of times. It caught my attention as I love potatoes. There were around 10 flavours of french fries and chicken wings in the shop. I ordered only sour cream and honey mustard flavours. The french fries were very well made and the sauce go very well with the fries. I will go back for more flavour and other sides.
