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…
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…
Nando’s City Square, Johor Bahru

Much quieter, longer than Ao Nang beach. Perhaps prettier too. There are hotels and restaurants and hotels here too, though in a less tourist-centric atmosphere than Ao Nang Beach. There are a couple of bars on the beach. Come night,…

Wang Sai Seafood, Krabi
Coconut shake – it has real bits of coconut albeit sans milk unlike the usual fruit shake. Pineapple and cashew fried rice This definitely needs more pineapple and cashews to give it more oomph and make it much more satisfying. …
