Whenever we travel overseas, I like to try at least one fine dining experience. The San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants lists Odette in Singapore as the 28th Best Restaurant in the world (for 2018). I booked us into lunch at Odette during our stay. (Tip: Lunch is usually cheaper than dinner for the same […] Read more…
I’m a sucker for baked eggs. When I know an eatery makes great baked eggs, it’s difficult to order anything else. Hardware Societe is another eatery that I try to visit every time I’m in Melbourne. Mainly because of its ridiculously awesome baked eggs. Considering it’s a French-influenced eatery, it’s no wonder I like it. […] Read more…
During trips to Melbourne, I always try to stay an extra couple of days so I can eat at more places. The annoying thing about dining solo is that I can only try 1-2 small dishes before I get full. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Supernormal offer half-serves of most of their menu […] Read more…
Tipo 00 is one of the restaurants I will always visit whenever I’m in Melbourne. Located on Little Bourke Street smack bang in the CBD, and a short stroll away from Melbourne Central / Emporium, it’s really easy to get to. Tipo 00 is a type of flour used in making pasta, and the restaurant […] Read more…
During a mid-week solo visit to Sydney, mainly for eating purposes, I booked myself in to Momofuku Seiobo at The Star for a tasting menu dinner. The $245 dinner consisted of 13 courses and I also went ahead with the matching non-alcoholic drinks for an additional $60. The reservation was for 6pm on the dot, […] Read more…
After our visit to Bangkok, we landed in Singapore in the early evening, and after checking into our hotel room in Tanjong Pagar, it was time to find a late night dinner. Fortunately, one of the first places we passed was Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King. It was about 8.30pm at this stage and there was […] Read more…
Last month, my family and I had a dinner at Bistro Guillaume at the Crown Casino Perth. I think it’s my third time dining there, and I’m never disappointed. We had an early evening reservation and sat with a view overlooking the Crown’s pool. Our waiter for the night asked whether we wanted tap or […] Read more…
During my annual visit to Perth, I discovered that there was a Guy Grossi restaurant and was keen to make a trip to the Perth CBD to try it out. Garum focuses on Roman-style cooking with handmade pasta and ancient Roman techniques. After we were seated, we were asked whether we wanted tap, still or […] Read more…
I couldnโt get into Gaggan in Bangkok (Number 1 on Asiaโs 50 Best Restaurants of 2017 and 2018), so I booked into Nahm (currently Number 10 in Asia’s 50 Best on the list). An online reservation for dinner was made a couple of months prior and the booking confirmed via email. It was a rainy […] Read more…
After the Damnoen Saduak Floating Markets, we arrived at the Maeklong Railway Market. Our tour guide mentioned the cheapest coconut juice could be purchased at the markets and led us to the shop. Iโve forgotten what itโs called but itโs a very colourful shop with bunches of bananas and balloons decorating the front. She was […] Read more…
