Pinoy in Singapore

I’ve known about Tekka Market for some years now but I’ve only come to check it out recently.  Now, I ask myself why I haven’t done so sooner.  I’ve found a lot of stuff I’ve been looking for at Tekka – like fresh beef!  Prior to Tekka market, I bought frozen beef at either Cold [...]

Whadaya know? A few days after my post on Hawker horror stories, some 100+ people got food poisoning from a Hawker stall in Geylang selling Rojak. There was even 1 casualty and at least 1 woman got a miscarriage.  Prior to this, I always tried to convince myself that my fears are just over the [...]

As much as I love hawker food, I’m never at ease with eating at just any Hawker place. That’s because I’m not really sure how they prepare and handle the food. There are definitely hawker places that serve delicious food which makes my “perceived” risk worth it for me. But then there are other places [...]

Yesterday, Mr. Tsiken and I tried Canele’ Patisserie Chocolaterie at the Shaw Centre on Scotts Road (beside Mc Donald’s.)  For those from Manila, their menu kinda reminds me of Bizu specially with all those appetizingly pretty cakes on display. I’d say the price is on the expensive end of the reasonable spectrum.  Expensive side because [...]

Mr. Tsiken and I love sashimi so we are always on the lookout for good Japanese buffets.  A few weeks back we tried out Kuishin Bo Restaurant at 3 Temasek Blvd, Suntec City Tower 1, #03-002.  It’s beside the Turkish Cuisine Restaurant (which is also good) on the floor above Harry’s bookstore. We wanted to [...]

An officemate of hubby told him yesterday that there was this good fried chicken place in Geylang.  So we decided to try it out for lunch today and decide for ourselves it’s true. I think fried chicken is comfort food for a lot of Pinoys like me.  It reminds me of birthday parties when I [...]

I got this through a forwarded email.  And I don’t even normally read anything that’s forwarded but this one caught my eye because it had Singapore on it.  I also checked and there is indeed a Waterloo Street in Singapore. (Whether that makes it credible, beats me.)   Now, I don’t know if this is [...]

For my birthday, we had buffet dinner at the Greenhouse in Ritz Carlton. What made me decide to have dinner there was it was the restaurant with the highest overall rating that had multiple reviews from HungryGoWhere.com. It was my first time there and here’s my first impression of the place. Sphere: Related Content

Yesterday, I was planning on cooking pumpkin soup for dinner but pumpkin soup needs to be simmered for some time so that the pumpkin would be soft enough to puree. At the same time I had to go back to the mall and have the shirts I recently bought for my dad changed to a [...]

Last weekend, Carrefour was giving away a tray of 30 eggs for a minimum purchase of S$60.00. Of course me, being Pinoy, will never pass up anything that’s free. So I claimed my free 30 eggs even though Mr. Tsiken doesn’t eat eggs and we probably only consumed a dozen eggs last year. Sphere: Related [...]

I encountered this interesting article on MSG a few days ago.  Monosodium Gultamate or MSG or probably better known in the Philippines by the brand name Ajinomoto has always been believed to be harmful to your health.  I’ve seen many restaurants display a “No MSG” sign.  So what’s the real deal on MSG?

Ok, it’s not really a garden and more like just 5 pots but it’s a good start. I’ve always wanted to have a garden where I can harvest my ingredients for tonight’s dinner from. I initially wanted to put the plants on the countertop ala Barefoot Contessa but unfortunately there’s no more room in there. [...]

I was craving for some kikiam and squidballs and I couldn’t help but think about all those food stalls at the River Hongbao Celebration so off we went on a mission to sample all that food waiting for us at the River Hongbao… and maybe get a glimpse of the fireworks while we’re at it. [...]

Yesterday, after watching Beowulf, we decided to eat somewhere at Orchard road. I wanted something that was not fast food so we walked along orchard looking for somewhere to eat. To make a long story short we ended up at Family International Buffet Restaurant, #05-30, Ngee Ann City. I’ve always been curious if it was [...]

Last week, Mr. Tsiken and I tried Pepper Lunch  twice.  Once at Takashimaya and the other time at Dhoby Gaut Exchange.  I heard that a restaurant with a very similar concept just opened in Trinoma and the actual Pepper Lunch franchise is also coming to Manila.  I liked the concept of a DIY steak fast food.  Since they [...]

Salted Fish Fried Rice Mixed Vegetables Black Pepper Crab Since we’ve been here, our place has been like a bed and breakfast for relatives and friends visiting Singapore. We’ve had guests every month, and some months guests arrive by the week. During the first few months, we treated our guests to Chinese restaurants like No [...]

It’s funny how people get curious when they see long lines for something.  They start hovering around the crowd and try to see what’s the fuss about.  This is how we found out about the fried prawn mee at the Food Rebuplic at the top floor of Wisma Atria on Orchard Rd. Sphere: Related Content

I’ve been meaning to try their BBF – Beer Battered Fish because it looks so appetizing in the picture displayed on their stalls.  It reminds me of fish and chips from Fish and Co.  So last weekend I decided to try it and got myself a major disappointment.  First off the BBF doesn’t look anything [...]
