I love Rise Bakehouse , a beautiful café in Singapore with outlets in Orchard, Chinatown, and Potong Pasir! Not only do they specialise in pastries and cakes, but they also serve delicious main dishes and drinks. In fact, this is my fourth visit to the Rise Bakehouse at 111 Somerset,…
My boyfriend and I both love Korean barbecue, and he brought me to Sodeng, a popular traditional KBBQ spot in Singapore, to celebrate our anniversary. There are two branches in Singapore, and we visited the one located along Telok Ayer Street. The restaurant is cosy and has limited seating, so…
I recently started watching Culinary Wars (Season 2) , and there was a master hidden among the Black Spoon contestants (among many other masters), Chef Ok Dongsik. He is known for selling Dweji Gomtang (Korean pork bone soup) in New York City, and his restaurant is always fully booked. The…

Looking back at my posts, there are many dishes I wouldn't have ordered if I were alone because I'm not that adventurous (what if I order something new and don't like it?!). I'm thankful to have friends who push me out of my comfort zone and try new dishes with…
Upper Thomson is a haven for coffee lovers, with the area lined with cafés. I’ve previously visited and shared my review of Hello Arigato , and I can’t wait to return to Upper Thomson to try more cafés. This time, we dropped by Columbus Coffee Co for a quick waffle…

Craving freshly made, hot and cheesy pizza? Try Goldenroy - in fact, we returned as we had a great experience the first time 🤩 Pizza flavours (ranked by my favourites): Number 4: Scallops & Onions I realized I'm not really a scallop fan, so that ranked last on my list.…
A few friends and I visited Hello Arigato Cafe at Upper Thomson. My main dish was so delicious that I couldn't resist documenting it in my blog. Disclaimer: I didn't delve too deeply into my friends' main dishes, so take my overall review with a pinch of salt. The spotlight…

Rise Bakehouse is a cafe chain with three branches in Singapore. Although they specialise in cakes and small bakes, interestingly, I haven’t tried any of those in my three visits to this Somerset outlet (yet). In fact, I’ve always ordered the dish below on every visit: 🦪 Scallop Rosé Rigatoni…
SYIP (Farrer Park) is a minimalistic-looking cafe that serves good coffee and matcha. They serve brunch and main options too, but I've only tried their Sweet French Toast thus far. Sweet French Toast 💸 SGD 16.00\ ⭐⭐⭐ 3/5 Would you look at this colourful and vibrant plate - doesn't it…
