Some months ago, Mr FPJ and I had a lovely dinner banquet at Chairman & Yip. The dinner included sushi from a new sushi chef which we thought was a little odd given we were in a Chinese restaurant. Our waiter informed us that the Chairman Group were opening up a new Japanese restaurant in […] Read more…
Cafe Viin is a cafe by day and offers French dining by night. The set dinner menu changes each month and is $69 for 4 courses. July was truffle month so there was an additional $20 mark up, but something I was interested in trying. Bookings are essential and I made our reservation over the […] Read more…
Lebanese bakery and cafe, Al Manoosh, is a popular cafe with the locals and the Lebanese community. It was great to see this small cafe packed with everyone enjoying the cuisine. The menu includes breakfast items like foul and shakshuka, and there are plenty of Lebanese pizzas in different categories such as meat, labne, eggs, […] Read more…
We recently tried yum cha at Quan’s Kitchen, located at the Kippax shops. I’ve been meaning to try it out for years but it’s quite far for us to travel. Located just a few doors down from Bunny Beans, yum cha is available daily at lunch time. There are no trolleys but the yum cha […] Read more…
Around the corner near Dickson’s Share Tea, is small family-owned restaurant Flavours of Jiangnan. The owners speak Mandarin plus another dialect that I don’t understand (I should ask what it is).

I’ve never gotten around to blogging about Malaysian restaurant Madam Lu, but have dined there multiple times. So here it is. There’s a two-page lunch specials menu available Monday to Friday with dishes starting at the $10.50 mark for various noodles, rice dishes, nasi goreng and more.

A few years ago, I read about the opening of FICO Eataly World, the biggest food park in the world, located in Bologna, and since then it’s been on my list of places to try. As Bologna is only about a 90 minute drive away from where we were staying in Padua, we made this […] Read more…

It’s basically a sponge cake soaked in three types of milk – condensed, evaporated and cream. I was kindly given a sample of the classic tres leches in a ‘to share’ size. The torched meringue […] Read more…
