    There are restaurants along Sisowath Quay that offer Happy Pizzas.  In case, you don’t know what these are, these are pizzas sprinkled with marijuana.  The marijuana is underneath the melted cheese. These pizzas are the same prices as normal pizzas—–US$4.…

    L’entrecote, Singapore

    This is my second time to L’entrecote.  The first time was 1.5 or 2 years ago, a hurried affair with friends blurred by alcohol. L’entrecote is located in a quiet corner of Duxton Hill.  The restaurant is famous for having…

    Fullhouse Theme Café, Singapore

    OMG!!  This place is so overpriced. A very ordinary White Coffee costs S$7.90.  With the 10% and 7% GST, it works out to S$9.30 total.  Not good value for money at all. A new player in Singapore, this chain already…
