Maison Kayser, Singapore
Maison Kayser is a 17-year-old brand that originated in Paris and is brought into Singapore by Boulangerie Eric Kayser Japon (the Japanese arm). In Japan, there are 18 Maison Kayser outlets and the best-selling item is the croissant (S$2.60, service…
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…
Strictly Pancakes, Singapore
This place located at Prinsep Street is doing brisk business with students from nearby institutions. I picked the Tiramisu pancakes (3 warm chocolate pancakes with chocolate flakes on top, vanilla sauce drizzled on the side and a scope of vanilla…
7 Kickstart Brewiches, Singapore
This café is located along quiet Armenian Street, opposite The Substation and the Peranankan Museum. It is a short walk from the Singapore Management University campus and Bras Basah subway station. The décor is kitschy. The odour is suspect. It…
Itacho Sushi, Singapore
I finally found a place that sells very affordable cold soba (S$4 per serving). The most crucial thing about cold soba is that it must be ice cold. The soya sauce must be ice cold as well. I am happy…
Pies and Coffee, Singapore
S$9.95 for a duck confit pie???? Not worth it, in my opinion. S$5.80 for a double-shot café latte, which I think was ok, price-wise. But the latte wasn’t hot enough. Another customer had the same complaint. They have other outlets…
Smiths Authentic British Fish and Chips, Singapore
S$17 (taxes inclusive) for Haddock and Chips. The Haddock portion is quite large. There is no air-conditioning, so you have to put with Singapore’s humidity (which feels a lot like being clipped under someone’s armpit). They have other outlets at…
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…
Bronte, Singapore
Nestled amidst the houses of Bukit Timah is a row of bistros and gourmet delis. Bronte, an Australian bistro, is one of these shops. The atmosphere is casual and quiet; the service is friendly, laidback but attentive. If you possess…
Nando’s City Square, Johor Bahru
Went to Nando’s again. Had my usual ¼ chicken with 2 sides. Sad to report portions have shrunk. They now don’t serve water. See previous post. Their stuttering excuse was pretty lame too – the water supply is mixed with…
