SIN: Kith Café

Image
The best espresso jelly I've ever had! Starting as a humble shop by the river at Robertson Quay in 2009. Kith Café 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.

SIN: SATS Premier Lounge Terminal 3 @ Changi Airport T3

Image
Make your own 'laksa' before flying off! When was the last time I posted on an airline lounge? Today's post shall kickstart the short series on post-COVID-19 pandemic travel to Azerbaijan, a country in the Caucasus that was formerly part of the Soviet Union. I could finally make use of my Priority Pass membership once again to have dinner before flying off from our beloved Changi Airport.

SIN: Brine

Image
Ever had turkey breast with 'buah keluak'? Sharing the same building with Hotel Clover in the Kampong Glam area, Brine is a small, cosy restaurant with an open kitchen concept. I reckon a number of dishes served at the restaurant, which celebrates contemporary cuisine, involve brining - a process of submerging food into a solution of salt.

SIN: Holiday Inn Express Singapore Katong [Breakfast]

Image
How's the Express Start ™  Breakfast? I'm not sure about you, but I'm starting to miss self-service buffet breakfast at hotels. I wonder when we can have it again. In today's post, let's take a look at what were offered by Holiday Inn Express Singapore Katong (3*), which is located next to I12 Katong, before COVID-19 came to our shores.

SIN: Club Lounge @ InterContinental Singapore [Evening Canapés]

Image
Where Shirley Temple beat Tom Collins~ Let's continue to look at the food and drinks served at the Club Lounge at InterContinental Singapore (5*). Besides offering afternoon tea from 3.00pm to 5.00pm, the lounge also dishes out canapés with alcoholic beverages daily from 6.00pm to 8.00pm. After the so-so afternoon tea, I was certainly hoping that the evening treat would make up for that.

SIN: Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa [Breakfast]

Image
Quite a huge spread for breakfast, but... I had the opportunity to stay at Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa (5*) before the COVID-19 pandemic kicked in. The hotel has been approved for staycation during Singapore's Phase 2 of Reopening, but it's definitely not offering self-service buffet breakfast for the time being. Let's have a look at the spread back then during my staycation on Labour Day.

SIN: British Airways Lounge @ Changi Airport T1

Image
Ask for a secret drink if you wish! Not being able to travel in June this year has given me the opportunity to catch up on my two blogs. Now that I've completed the short series of food hunt in Penang, Malaysia, let's move on to one of my past trips to Tokyo, Japan. As I'd be flying with Japan Airlines in the Business Class, I had access to British Airways Lounge as a Oneworld partner at Changi Airport Terminal 1.

MAS: Kek Lok Si Vegetarian Restaurant

Image
Mostly Chinese dishes, but lovely Indian curry! My family and I, as well as my friend and his mother, started exploring Penang, Malaysia on the second day after arrival. First things first, we went to Kek Lok Si Temple, which is the largest Buddhist temple complex in Malaysia that was built from 1890 to 1930. We had lunch at a vegetarian restaurant within the complex.

SIN: Le Rida

Image
How about some apricot and fig sauce on your duck confit? Situated along Bukit Timah Road is Le Rida, a restaurant that offers a curious mix of French, Middle Eastern and Indian dishes. There's also a fully-stocked bar for those who prefer to have a drink or two with light bites. One fine evening, I went there to have dinner.

Truly delicious vegetable 'korma' to go with long-grain rice! Describing itself as a lounge that offers "surroundings that rival those of any 5* hotel", Qatar Airways' flagship Business Class lounge is where I spent my 8-hour layover at Hamad International Airport.

SIN: Aromas of India

Image
Oven-roasted fish served on a boat-shaped plate~ Would you believe me if I say that last year was the first time I went to Mustafa Centre in Little India? With a newfound love for it, I found myself going to the district a little bit more often. Not too far from the 24-hour shopping centre is Aromas of India that bears the motto “Ultimate Client Satisfaction”.

It prides itself in being Singapore's largest chain of bars with 20 branches, along with a few others in Myanmar and India at the point of writing.

GUY: Maharaja Palace

The best restaurant in Georgetown, Guyana? Prior to booking a room at Brandsville Hotel , little did I know that the #1 restaurant on TripAdvisor, at the point of writing, is within walking distance from the said accommodation. Maharaja Palace is located on the third floor of a building named Annjees that's colourfully lit in the evening.

A delight to chew the handmade 'roti'! Suriname is a melting pot of cultures. For our first lunch in the capital city called Paramaribo, my BFF and I went to sample its Indian cuisine at a well-known eatery that has been around since 1942. Roti Shop Joosje provides no-frills dining with affordable prices.

SIN: Qantas Lounge @ Changi Airport T1

Image
Free flow lamingtons, anyone? Are you ready for another series of overseas food adventure? It all began with my BFF and me going to Changi Airport early to have dinner at the spacious Qantas Lounge. I didn't fly with Qantas, but my Finnair Business Class ticket granted me access to the lounge, thanks to the Oneworld alliance.

SIN: Maharajah

Image
Not quite what a king would've expected... The Maharajah brand was first established here in Singapore in 1986. It's also the first Indian restaurant to offer delivery of North Indian dishes under the banner of Dial-a-Curry. Even though the branch at Cuppage Terrace has closed down recently, the one at Clarke Quay is still going strong.

SIN: Singapore Airlines SQ392 (Premium Economy)

Delicious Indonesian 'nasi uduk' with chili prawns! The middle of this year saw me doing a long-haul flight in the Premium Economy Class cabin of Singapore Airlines' Airbus 350-900 aircraft for the first time. In fact, it was also my first time flying directly to Istanbul, Turkey from Singapore. In general, I enjoyed the two meal services: supper and breakfast.

JPN: Ekiben Tabi Bento (駅弁 旅弁当)

Image
Not a single visit to Japan without 'ekiben'! A portmanteau of eki (lit. station) and bento (Japanese meal box), ekiben  has long been an icon of Japanese culinary culture. I know the meal boxes are served at room temperature, but I'm always drawn to them, thanks in part to their exquisite presentation. My family bought some from Ekiben Tabi Bento situated within Kyoto station to savour them for lunch, not inside a train, but in the comfort of our hotel room.

Photos in the coming posts remain in a square format because, as mentioned earlier, I lost most of my photos and the only ones I've got left are those I've shared on my Instagram.
