Colourful Palates

Do you ever feel like eating 'healthy' at times yet salads and fruits only diet are totally out of consideration? There are so many vegetarian options these days it is almost impossible to say NO to giving it a try.  Not only has vegetarian cuisine revolutionize over the years, fans of vegetarian food has also been expanding and gaining recognition from the younger population.  Unlike Greendot ,  Whole Earth Vegetarian Restaurant is a casual dining concept serving Peranakan Thai food at its finest (and veggient).  Mostly female diners, including ourselves were there on a Friday evening. I am guessing most of them are regulars who bring their friends there to try out the food.  The restaurant hires all foreigners (shall not name which nationality) and they were not very friendly towards us. Maybe at the start when they were trying to push some expensive dishes to us. We did not budge and followed our preferences and what we read from reviews s...

Usually, chicken rice stalls entice customers with their hanging whole chickens, dripping with oil and looking as fat as they can. (Bugis Street) Ming Kee Chicken Rice sells their chicken rice like hot cakes without any tactics. Perhaps the long queue is their best method of drawing more new customers to their chilled steamed chicken. Queuing for up to 40mins is perfectly normal on a weekend or during meal times. Located a coffee shop just 5 mins walk from Bishan MRT station, this humble looking eating house has more to offer than just the chicken rice. You may want to explore this place before I share more about it next time :) THE LOOOOOONG QUEUE We ordered half a chicken ($25 For a whole chicken), $3 chicken gizzards and $3 bean sprouts. We reckon it's cheaper than order the various parts of the chicken for a one person rice set coz the backside is much more expensive. The rice was quite a lot for one plate, small eaters might find that they cannot even finish half...

I know it can be frustrating if you can't make up your mind between the three roasted meat stalls and four other dim sum stalls. They all look the same but you know surely one of those stalls is the famous one which your grandparents and parents grew up eating.  Today, I'd introduce to you one of the best dimsum and roast meats non-restaurant style, together with some new findings in the current People's Park Complex.  It has been a long while since I last wowed at the dimsum before me. The stall only displays a pathetic number of dishes in the glass cabinet as compared to Ho Kee which display a wide myriad of choices. Yet... 道记(Chop Hean Kuan) 's dimsums sells like hot cakes. The price range is not large, cheapest at 90c for items like the ugly looking yet tempting siew mai, egg tarts and 韭菜角, the most expensive item is 2 bucks for the 糯米鸡. The mini char siew bao was heaven. I seldom fancy this because it feels  often feels like eating marinated card board. ...

It's a weekday evening and everywhere is crowded, you are spoilt for food choices at Orchard Central and you're craving for Jap cuisine. Can't decide where to eat? Choose Sumiya! I never knew there was a 12th floor at OC until last Thursday. To go to level 12, you need to take the lift to the 11th floor and take one floor up by the escalator. The scenic view and strong breeze outside the restaurant looks perfect for couples who wants a quiet place or for friends to mingle for hours without being chased. I made up my mind to eat at Sumiya instead of Ootoya or Tonkatsu. The menu in a scroll looks too interesting to resist. Their grilled items seemed to be their specialty as there were several different types ranging from the skewered ones to dried seafood (DIY). Some if not all dishes has a note at the side telling you what drinks goes well with the food item. We sat near the glass wall so that we can have a clear view of the haze -.- We decided to order one or two from...

You might be wondering where why the title i gave to my blog post. We had wanted to go to East Ocean Teochew Restaurant for dinner as we used to patronize for their sumptuous spread of cutely decorated dimsums. Many of you who have also been there will remember the perpetually packed restaurant with busy waiters buzzing around above a flight of stairs from the Isetan office basement. Front Desk @ East Ocean Teochew Restaurant With such advanced in technology, we found out from Google that the restaurant has shifted to Takashimaya Level 5 where the cluster of restaurants are situated at. The brightly lit and classy restaurant is located beside Seoul Garden ( where Breekz used to be situated). I was bewildered by the spacial design of the restaurant as it was quite a great leap from the old venue. We were sat down by a friendly waitress followed by 4 cups of super thick and red tea known to cleanse your tummy so i guess it was for us to feel hungrier and thus prepare ourselves t...

It isn't too hard to find Two Blur Guys as it is surrounded by Japanese restaurants at Level 1 of Orchid Hotel, so unfortunately or fortunately, it stood out. Largely westerners or stranded lunch crowd who has no other places to go will be attracted to this little cafe. Went during lunch time with a friend who just got back from Aussie for the new year. It was totally empty at first but soon after we ordered our food, streams of crowd started entering the tiny restaurant, perhaps coz everywhere else was full. Their menu is really limited in choices but there is definitely something for everyone and i really mean for everyone. Whether you are a vegan or a non-beef eater ( like me), you can have your burger and eat it too! I got the Pulled Pork Burger which the waitress who took our orders recommended, while RJ got the Prime Beef Burger. Beef burgers never goes wrong it seems, all my beef-lover friends seldom ever complained that their beef dish taste horrible. Is it because ...
