SIN: Mooi Chin Place

Popular Hainanese pork chop since its early days~

The history of Mooi Chin Place dates back to 1935 when it only served Western fare and alcoholic drinks, being one of the very few restaurants with a liquor license back then. After World War II, it started serving Chinese cuisine, while keeping its Western dishes on the menu. I'm going to review the Chinese dishes that my BFF and I had for dinner.

SIN: Starbucks

Is the breakfast set from the leading coffee chain worth it?

I'm not the kind of person who goes to Starbucks regularly. In fact, I can count with my fingers the number of times I drop by the famous coffee chain every year. What I really fancy is the smooth and creamy green tea latte, but the focus of this review is on the Breakfast Set that's available until 11.30am on weekdays and 2.30pm on weekends and public holidays.

SIN: Kaiserhaus

Dine like an emperor with beef soup, crispy potatoes and creamed spinach! 

Kaiserhaus is a glamorous restaurant inside the Capitol Theatre, offering a plethora of Eastern European dishes. It promises "an exquisite dining menu fit for an Emperor" with culinary delights from the former Habsburg Empire.

SIN: Violet Herbs

European-Asian fusion dishes with herbal power!

If you're looking for a semi-formal fine dining restaurant, you may want to head down to Tanjong Pagar. Violet Herbs is said to be a restaurant that "differentiates [itself] by an extensive use of herbs in all of [its] food and signature cocktails".

SIN: The Lab

I wonder if Heisenberg used to like hamburgers?

Happy birthday to Pikachu and me! Although I haven't really been celebrating mine in the recent years, I took the opportunity to go to an eatery I've always wanted to go to. I'm pretty sure Chemistry teachers, myself included, will love this particular place where syringes, beakers and test tubes are a common sight.

SIN: Mid-Autumn 2016 Mooncakes @ TCC

A nice blend of fragrant osmanthus and refreshing yuzu in a mooncake!

How many of us can recall offhand the full name of TCC? Prior to the act of writing this review, I couldn't. Anyway, The Connoisseur Concerto offers its selection of eight snowskin mooncake flavours to keep your sweet tooth sated this season of joy.

SIN: Sumire Yakitori House

Delectable skewers, but super salty cabbage appetiser...

Sumire Yakitori House hails from Japan with its first store in Tokyo starting business in June 2009. Its logo, a slight spin of the character 笑 (lit. smile, laugh), is further highlighted in its mission to promote that "smile is priceless". It can be achieved through good food and service.

SIN: Oppa Chicken [Delivery]

Good garlic stuff: honey garlic chicken and garlic fried rice!

With so many Korean fried chicken joints around the island, one is certainly spoilt for choice. While I'm not so crazy about those seasoned chicken, I suppose it won't harm trying once in a while. Not far from my house is Oppa Chicken, which has just turned a year old at the point of writing.
