Street Food of Tokyo

Tokyo was not some place where we expected to find street food but we did came across some gems. Like while stumbling around in Shunjuku one night, we found this back alley where there were a whole lot of small little outlet selling Yakitori and noodles. These are really small outlet like this one here…

Bangkok Street Food

The last time I went Bangkok was in 2006. This time round we went for a short trip over the weekend to celebrate our 22nd anniversary. We stayed in the Pratunam area. The old Pratunam wholesale centre is still there but there is also the new Platinum Mall. MBK, Siam Paragon, Central etc all gigantic…

Sunnyhills Pineapple Cake

Was reading the Sunday papers on Tuesday and came across this review of the Sunnyhills Pineapple cakes. Pineapple tart is something I must have during CNY and this year unfortunately my lobang for the Le Cafe golf ball pineapple tart is no more. So I was pretty keen to try this import from Taiwan until…

Swatow Seafood Restaurant

After watching Buffet Buffet 2 on Channel 8, decided that since I was going to Toa Payoh, to check out the dim sum buffet at Swatow Seafood Restaurant. That despite the rather negative review on Hungrygowhere.    We were early and didn’t qualify for the high tea buffet which starts at 3pm. But since we…

Pierre Herme Chocolate

I love chocolate but I also stingy old man. Only eat Kit Kat, M&M and Kinder Buenos. Once in a blue moon, maybe Royce or some nice one from Sins or one of those little outlets in the mall. Definitely no Godiva or anything fancy. And then somebody gave me this. A whole box of…

臭豆腐

There this Taiwanese stall at Lau Pah Sat selling 臭豆腐 and my curious colleagues who had not tried it was interestingly turned off by the smell yet curious to try it. So one fine day last week, they decided to finally brave the smell and try it but not before dragging me along to split the food…

Royce Potato Chip Chocolate

Normally I don’t eat potato chips. Not a lot anyway. Just a few slices. But somebody had to give me a box of Royce Potato Chip Chocolate. Sigh. I can hear the cholesterol guys jumping for joy but then really die die must finish the whole box. At one go if possible. It is that…

M&M

Was walking around one of the supermart one day and came across this: Can you believe it? A whole packet of orange M&M! Yummy!

Tofu Chiffon Cake

This has got to be the most expensive chiffon cake I will ever eat. Read in last week’s Urban about this place, Glace at Icon, a patisserie (noticed they don’t call atas cakeshop a confectionery or bakery?). Anyway, since the wifey works nearby, got her to get one to try out. She came back with…

Smallest Kong Bak Pau

Paus have been getter bigger like the Gozilla bao or smaller like this one but kong bak pau (stewed pork bun)? Was at Toa Payoh and went and got the miniscule pau and saw that they have this whole tray of what looks like the yong tau foo roll. It turned out to be the…
