SIN: China Classic

Image
How often do you get to see green-coloured rice? Housed inside Chinatown Point that's just a stone's throw away from home, China Classic claims itself to be the best Cantonese restaurant around. A rather spacious restaurant, it's equipped with 3 VIP rooms with karaoke facilities. I had a quiet dinner there with my mom on a weekday.

SIN: Bangkok Jam

Image
Service was rather jammed that evening... It's said that the traffic jam in Bangkok, Thailand is among the worst in the world. For some reason, that fact became the catalyst for the birth of Bangkok Jam, a chain of restaurants managed by the Creative Eateries group. As my mom was craving for Thai food, we went to the branch at Marina Square, which isn't far from home.

SIN: Keyaki

Image
Virgin experience with candied pufferfish! Keyaki is a high-end Japanese restaurant situated at the fourth floor of Pan Pacific Singapore. Surrounded by a serene Japanese garden that's by no means trivial in terms of size, as well as a pond full of koi (Japanese carp), it offers an elegant ambience with Japanese and Western-style private dining rooms.

SIN: Gin Khao Bistro

Image
Ever had sticky rice gelato or green curry gelato before? Gin Khao (lit. Eat Rice) Bistro is one of the restaurants lining up Quayside Isle at Sentosa Cove. After enjoying a peaceful, breezy walk, my BFF and I decided to have Thai cuisine for dinner. At the point of writing, there are two other branches at One Raffles Place and SAFRA Tampines.

SIN: Alter Ego

Image
Eat clean or indulge dirty? "Surrender or control? Embrace your alter ego." The interesting dining concept at Esplanade Mall not only serves healthy poke bowls from its opening time till 9.00pm, but also whips up sinful dishes from 3.00pm onwards daily. I was there for lunch, deciding to try the poke bowls.

SIN: MOS Café [Delivery]

Image
Serving rice burger since its inception in Japan in 1972~ It's been way too long since I last had something from MOS Burger, probably dating all the way back to the time I was a student. The café version exists at three different locations in Singapore at the point of writing. I didn't dine in, but ordered a number of items via a delivery platform.

SIN: Sichuan Dou Hua

Image
Don't miss the silky beancurd with wolfberries, of course! Proud of being one of the pioneers of Sichuan cuisine in Singapore, Sichuan Dou Hua was established in 1996 at PARKROYAL on Beach Road, the branch that I visited recently. Besides the four branches here, there's one in Tokyo, Japan and another in Yangon, Myanmar at the point of writing.

SIN: Tempura Tenten

Image
Relatively cheap 'tendon' with items like bacon and chicken ball~ The undying craze over tendon , which is a rice dish topped with  tempura  (Japanese battered and deep-fried assortments), has resulted in more eateries jumping on the bandwagon to satiate customers' cravings. Besides tendon , Tempura Tenten at Raffles City Shopping Mall also serves a variety of ramen.

SIN: SONS {CLOSED}

Image
Black baccala cakes with tasty sea urchin sauce! UPDATE (12/10/2021):  The eatery has closed down. Happy belated birthday, Melon! Her birthday is actually on 3 October, but I simply didn't have the time to go out for a meal last Thursday as there were lots of work to clear. SONS is a trendy trattoria-cum-bar housed inside one of the heritage-chic shophouses of Nankin Row in Chinatown.

Five different choices of tortillas for your wraps! Simply Wrapps is one of my favourite DIY wrap stores, although I've never actually DIY since I always go for the fixed creations. Boasting a selection of 5 tortillas, 50 nutritious ingredients and 18 house dressings to choose from, it's the first  Halal -certified salad chains in Singapore.

Trying Arabic coffee for the very first time in my life! After having a moment of relaxation at the SkyTeam Lounge at Istanbul Ataturk Airport, it was finally time for my BFF and me to leave Turkey. Our virgin experience with Saudia, the flag carrier of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, was a memorable one. Let's take a look at what were served for Business Class passengers on the short-haul flight from Istanbul to Jeddah.
