Knolls @ Capella Hotel Sentosa

May 14, 2012

This is the coffee shop at this 6 star hotel on Sentosa. My friend & I were looking for a cool spot for a quick lunch after a hot walk along Siloso Beach. Since neither of us had been to the Capella we decided to give it a go. Of course the approach is majestic and the whole property very… Read more…

Fat Cow @ Camden Medical Centre

May 7, 2012

This new Japanese fusion eatery has emerged from the old Whitebait & Kale premises on the ground floor at Camden medical centre. A visiting friend from Australia suggested we choose somewhere for dinner so yours truly, living quite close, did a recce earlier in the day of dinner. The place has a comfortable layout with separate eating areas including a Teppan bar. This… Read more…

The Trocks – Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

May 2, 2012

The Trocks were simply sensational – boy can they dance but what fun, so incredibly entertaining. Takes a lot to get me laughing, but last night I had tears running down my face from gigling so much. The comedy aspect is suptle and sophisticated. Tickets are very reasonable and if you are lucky enough to buy one – as they… Read more…

No Menu @ Boon Tat Street

April 30, 2012

Yet again we entered the hallowed tables of this wonderful Italian family restaurant in Boon Tat St. We were able to book a last minute 9pm seating on a Thursday. As always the welcome was warm and friendly and with our overseas guests we were quickly seated and presented with a a glass of Prosecco while we perused the menu…. Read more…

Gordon Grill @ Goodwood Park Hotel

April 21, 2012

A long established high end grill located in this classic old Hotel just off Scotts Road. Myself and a former colleague were invited for lunch one day last week. Although surprisingly the restaurant was quiet were welcomed and seated with the usual calm efficiency and an offering of drinks/water etc. The Set lunch was the required fare for all six… Read more…

Les Bouchons Rive Gauche @ Robertson Quay

April 12, 2012

A group of us(7) tried to book in the Club Street branch but were too late for a saturday night so we booked on the terrace overlooking the river at this well established French style cafe on Robertson Quay. The restaurant was quite crowded but we were seated and attended to quickly by the efficient waiting staff. We ordered starters… Read more…

Yantra – Sunday Brunch

April 2, 2012

Yantra serves very high end Indian curries and tends to be excellent, however my recent visit to their Sunday brunch was disappointing. Food was more limited in variety and frequently running out ( but perhaps that is a good thing as they did bring out fresh replacements). The service was slow, again I suspect they were understaffed, which is becoming a… Read more…

Glow Juice Bar & Cafe

March 12, 2012

Situated on the second floor of the Hilton in Orchard Road is this small, secret of a restaurant serving up delightful salads and other organic hot dishes as well as fabulous juices. It is a little more expensive because of the ingredients, expect to pay around $40 to $50 per head for lunch, for a starter + main and coffee…. Read more…

Brussels Sprouts @ Robertson Quay

February 22, 2012

Excellent for a Sunday lunch or casual evening dinner, this outdoor/indoor restaurant on the river serves up moules and clams in 17 different ways from the traditional mariniere to a very tasty Tom Yam version and just about every option in between. They also have a huge range of Belgian beers, perfect accompaniment to the mussels.. Along with our son we returned… Read more…

Vintage India @ Dempsey Hill

February 8, 2012

A  former colleague of my Husband from Scandinavia announed on his arrival in Singapore that he was dying for a Sunday Curry and would generously be our host. What better we thought than this now well established North Indian restaurant tucked away in a quiet corner of Dempsey Hill. The restaurant has an outdoor lounge where you can wait for your… Read more…
