  • Top Three Coffee Spots of the Week (Round 1)

    Cafe culture in Singapore is thriving and I for one am rejoicing. Not only do I love the dark elixir, but I take great joy in finding a spot to sit, think, drink coffee and maybe indulge in a sweet treat (or three ;)). I find them on Instagram,...
  • The Hangar

    The Hangar, my Favourite Café on Arab Street

    The Hangar on Arab Street was suggested by a friend and frequent coffee buddy after she chanced upon it while buying ribbons (just across the street at Kin Soon Pte Ltd). She, whom I shall call the Gorgeous S, has since moved to the UK and I miss our meet ups...
  • Bench at Dapper Coffee

    Dapper Coffee

    It was over a year and a half ago and perhaps it was all the wood panelling and old lanterns but I’m pretty sure that crusty old sailors never got coffee this good! One could turn their nose up at the hodge podge of bits and pieces. I have...
  • Chye Seng Huat Hardware coffee and friand

    Chye Seng Huat Hardware

    Today I revisited Chye Seng Huat Hardware. It was 2013 when I last was there. Back then it was all the rage, with every other person who was talking about coffee also talking about CSHH. But who could blame them. Home to Papa Palheta, one of the best coffee roasters on the...
  • Brawn & Brains, an Instagrammable Cafe with a Bit of Heart

    Brawn & Brains has been my solace for months now. After dearest husband moved out west for work, I’ve been doing the drive to drop him off and then stopping by at Brawn & Brains on my way home for Latte and a Finnish Pulla (cinnamon roll). It’s my place...
  • Long Chim, David Thompson’s Thai Street Food

    Ever since I went to Sailor’s Thai in Sydney over 10 years ago where we were served beef carpaccio in a form of yum (thai beef salad). I remember then thinking how non-traditional it seemed (I usually have it with grilled beef) but how absolutely delicious it was. I then went to Nahm...
  • Luxe Singapore

    Luxe Singapore (CLOSED)

    I’m dying to go back and try their coffee and brunch, but on the evening that we went, we were there for dinner with friends (without all our kids in tow – hooray!). Being one of the restaurants in the Eat Singapore Book was also a bonus. (I’ve been to 3 now, 9 to go!)...
  • Carvers & Co Interior

    Carvers & Co, East Coast Road (CLOSED)

    It is perfectly sloppy and juicy, just the way I like them. Their secret recipe patty is topped with melty vintage cheddar on top of which sits caramelised onion. For their weekend version, a lattice of crispy bacon is added and the burger is served with just enough salad but...
