Cantonese cuisine not quite as outstanding as expected... Housed within the National Gallery in the Civic District of Singapore, Yan blends classic Cantonese recipes with modern culinary innovation. Its menu showcases a balance of tradition and creativity, from roasted meat to hand-crafted dim sum . The restaurant is part of the AMEX Love Dining programme.

SIN: Kith Café

The best espresso jelly I've ever had! Starting as a humble shop by the river at Robertson Quay in 2009. Kith CafĂ© has since expanded to no less than ten outlets across the island. The founder is a firm believer in feng shui (Chinese geomancy), seen in the cafe's logo with auspicious elements: 18 black and 18 yellow spaces arranged in an octagonal shape, symbolising prosperity and success.

Pancake x  soufflĂ© originated from Tokyo! Hailing from Japan, Flipper's is a chain cafĂ© renowned for its fluffy, jiggly soufflĂ© pancakes. While I've never had the chance to try the pancakes in its country of origin, I was excited to finally experience them at the Westgate branch here in Singapore, which has been drawing long lines of eager patrons.

SIN: Yoshinoya

Trying it again in Singapore after years! Yoshinoya is the second largest chain of gyudon (lit. beef bowl) restaurants in Japan. Although its first shop opened in Tokyo, the name of the chain actually pays homage to the former town of Yoshino in Osaka Prefecture where its founder hailed from. After years of giving Yoshinoya in Singapore a miss, I recently found myself revisiting one of its branches at Bugis Junction.

Are you a fan of their rich specialty sauce? EntrecĂ´te  is a French term that refers to a premium boneless cut of beef from the rib area, which is typically used for steaks and roasts. L'EntrecĂ´te, a restaurant dedicated to this cut, features it as the one and only main course. One of the branches is located at Customs House, which was among the earliest public buildings in modern Singapore.

Surprisingly rich chocolate mousse! Here's the last post to wrap up the travel to the Americas. After travelling in the Business Class cabin from Panama City, it was time to head to the back of the plane for the next leg of the journey from Istanbul, Turkey to Singapore. Despite the more modest comfort, the food wasn't too shabby.

TRY: Turkish Airlines TK800 (Business) (Part 2)

Not the best experience, but I love the  strawberry smoothie ! Following the brief stop at Panama City, my BFF and I continued our journey on Turkish Airlines TK800 to Istanbul, Turkey. The flight, lasting just over half a day, included two meal services - dinner and breakfast. One thing I completely forgot to do was to check the galley to see if there were any snacks available.
