Fuk Kee Congee @ Fa Yuen Street

Fuk Kee Congee @ Fa Yuen Street

I had planned to make a trip down to one of Kowloon’s well-known congee eateries during our short stay in Hong Kong, considering that my Dad has always been a fan of the staple dish. Situated within Mong Kok, Fuk Kee Congee is located along one of the busiest streets in Kowloon. When...
Group Therapy @ Duxton Hill

Group Therapy @ Duxton Hill

Nestled in Duxton Hill, Group Therapy is one of my new favourite haunts to chill-out over a cup of coffee or start a Sunday morning with a hearty brunch. Like the pun from which its name is derived, Group Therapy has been a “closely-guarded” secret amongst the in the know...

Spruce is probably a familar name to many of us. An established dining venue for Weekend Brunch for both locals and foreign expatriates, we arrived at Phoenix Park to find the restaurant to be surrounded by greenery. As we shuffled our lazy feet across the boardwalk, we began to discover several...

It has been quite some time since Bryan and I had a meal together and as such, both of us decided to satisfy my cravings for fine and authentic Ramen. Situated away from the rows of shops in Millenia Walk and well-nestled within Parco Marina Bay (which is still within the entire same building itself),...

Basilico @ The Regent

Basilico @ The Regent

Yes, most international buffets we often frequent, do offer a large variety but as calorie-inducing as they are, we are often faced with more misses than hits. Other than offering either set menus or dishes in ala-carte style, my family and I opted for a lunch buffet at Basilico, a...

Menya Musashi @ Raffles City

Menya Musashi @ Raffles City

It has been barely a few weeks since the opening of the renowned Tokyo Ramen eatery on our shores but she has managed to draw a consistently long queue throughout the day- at least that has been what I am hearing from many of my friends. With around eleven outlets in Japan, the 1,350 square...

De La Creme @ Siglap Drive

Nestled in the heart of Siglap and Frankel Estate, the location of De La Creme might appear to many as a bakery that mainly caters to the residents who reside around the corner.

The Sleeping Rhino @ klapsons, The Boutique Hotel

The Sleeping Rhino @ klapsons, The Boutique Hotel

Introduced as a very popular lunch spot for the hungry cubicle rats around the Tanjong Pagar area, we were told that the Sleeping Rhino was named as such so that her abbreviations would be T.S.R,  their effort to portray the restaurant’s image as a casual dining venue. T.S.R succeeds the now defunct Lucas (previously a...

Other than offering their regular menu of Western dishes and wine/spirits, Hummerstons is another increasingly popular weekend- brunch outlet to compete with the likes of Epicurious along Robertson Quay. A new common hangout for both locals and foreign expatriates, Hummerstons could easily be one of the more crowded areas in the quiet corner of Robertson...
