Did you hear? The AMEX 50% discount for 2 promotion at Mikuni, JAAN and Equinox has come to an end. From today onwards the maximum discount one can enjoy at Mikuni is 35%. Given it’s fine-dining prices, 35% off still makes Mikuni rather expensive. Bleh. Last Saturday, my fellow foodie and I grabbed the last opportunity to […]
The Japanese treats offered in Singapore never fail to fascinate me. In a span of just a day, I had two Japanese cream puffs that were both equally as ethereal as the other but wholly different in nature. Sunday was a productive day. The first was the Matcha Cream Puff from Dulcet & Studio (the Paragon […]
Crazy popular and unbelievably warm food blogger, Kaelyn (of My Food Sirens), has opened a new eatery specializing in all things green tea, Matchaya! -cue fireworks!- You have no idea how much admiration I have for Kaelyn and Kevin for making this bold foray into the notoriously tough Singapore F&B scene. I strongly urge you to visit […]
I love food a lot but to queue at least an hour for it, maybe not. When I read Bake Cheese Tarts were arriving on our damn-humid and sunny shores, like many, super excited! Just like that, we moved on from the Salted Egg Lava Croissants. Guys, seriously, I cannot recall ever experiencing this food […]
Perfection. There can only be one word to describe my experience at two-Michelin stars Roan Kikunoi in Kyoto. From food to service and ambiance, this place is as perfect as they come. Whenever I travel, I like to treat myself to a fine-dining meal. The nine-course lunch at Roan Kikunoi was by far my favourite. For […]
During my trip to Japan recently, my girlfriends and I failed TWICE to eat a famous Beef Katsu place. We wanted it so badly as Japanese fried beef wasn’t available in Singapore. Each time we visited the famed-Shibuya shop, we were only met with long queues or were told to wait two hours. Insane. Back […]
Unagiya Hirokawa is a legendary Eel institution in Kyoto. Aside from the surreal Bamboo Forest, it seems like one must visit traditional eel (Unagi in Japanese) specialist Unagiya Hirokawa when making a trip to Arashiyama. Established in 1967, it is housed in a charming contemporary “Sukiya” (wooden architecture) style building. For our visit, we arrived half hour early before […]
Here’s another confession: I visited Tokyo Disneysea for the food. Age is definitely catching up to me as roller coasters no longer appeal to me. In the theme park, there is a famous ride, the Tower of Terror, which involved ascending before sudden drops. The entire time I was thinking: you stupid girl. Paid good money to […]
If you are familiar with the New York dining scene and live for Anthony Bourdain, you will have heard of Chef Naomichi Yasuda. Bourdain calls Chef Yasuda “my master, my mentor as far as all things related to sushi” plus a whole lot of praises. In summary, Chef Yasuda opened a sushi restaurant in NYC, it swiftly became […]
Highly popular and recommended, we arrived at Umegaoka Sushi no Midori about half hour before its opening time of 11am to be met by a long queue. Thank goodness the restaurant was big and we managed to secure the first seating. There are many sushi sets at Midori. For assortment sushi, three sets offered […]
