Hong Kong: A Foodies’ Paradise?

‘Hong Kong’ – when these two words are mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind to most of the ordinary citizen is Dim Sum. However, those that are much wiser would know that she has more than just exquisite little treats in bamboo baskets. Don’t get me wrong though, Hong Kong’s Dim Sums are top notch, rival to none, simply AMAZING. Yet, innovative young minds and western influence have brought much more twists and turns to the face of the food industry in Hong Kong. I’ve recently took the pleasure of heading down to this Land of Food, and tried out many of the dishes there that Singapore had ‘copied’ over from.

Well, I haven’t been writing for a long time now, time to start the engine again…

[Food Review] Antoinette’s Croissants!

Well, you guessed it, I’m probably in love with Antoinette (would’ve been good if it was a girl)… I’m kind of proud to say I’ve tried all of Antoinette’s croissants! (well, nearly – cause of the chocolate croissant that never made it to the shelves T.T). Here’s a list of their croissants, all at an affordable price of $6.00 (except the slightly more pricy $7.50 Chilli Crab Croissant)!

[Food Review] Asanoya’s Oosesome Bakes!

  Located in Bugis, where many nice cafes are congregated at, Asanoya distinguishes its bakes and breads from others by stuffing more than just plain air in their bread, loading them up with interesting fillings.

[Food Review] Returning to Five and Dime

I write this post bearing sad news… Five and Dime would be closing down after 29 April 2016… do head down to try some of their popular dishes before they close down!

Five and Dime is no stranger to many of us, with their popular fusion food and their special Golden Salted Egg Yolk Lava Cake, and I returned to Five and Dime to try some of their other famous dishes.

Antoinette’s Delights!

Below is the stall from Antoinette that’s found in Bugis Junction’s Food Fiesta 2016! (ended)

[Food Review] The Disgruntled Chef @ Dempsey

For those who do not drive, the food heaven at Dempsey would probably be quite far for you (no MRT near it), but the drive (pun intended) to indulge in some of the best brunches in Singapore would probably be enough to push you to walk all the way in to Dempsey, working off some of those calories that you’ll probably convince yourself that you deserve to consume later on.

Ladies and gentlemen, behold the Disgruntled chef!

[Food Compilation] Eggsy Ben!

…poached eggs, solid on the outside while runny and liquidy on the inside, paired with dollops of hollandaise sauce and warm brioche/bread, together with some ham/bacon/salmon – typical profile of an Eggs Benedict. This comfort food is enjoyed by all, all day, especially for those of us who can’t really get up early enough in the mornings to enjoy it.

[Food Review] Drury Lane Cafe

This bright red little cafe along Tanjong Pagar Road has a warm and comforting interior and an extensive menu comprising of many interesting food. From salted egg yolk eggs ben to pay-what-you-want muffins, this cafe packs with many small surprises here and there. What I like most here is the free wifi and power, so you can relax with your computers on a lazy weekend.

[Food Compilation] All Things Mentaiko!

Mentaiko – seared flying fish roe. Topped on pastries, mixed with pasta, seared with sushi… The possibilities are endless! This delicious addition to so many food makes good food even better. I simply love mentaiko – here’s where some of them can be found!

I’m still in the midst of making this, so stay tuned for more!

[Food Compilation] The Golden Rush

The liu sha craze has been in Singapore for some time now, from croissants to tarts, burgers to bolo baos, salted egg yolk has been creeping into various stores and many foods…

This golden gooey substance lifts up the taste of many dishes and satisfies many more as it flows into our bellies, yet all that flows may not be gold, I’ve had some nasty experiences with dishes that simply doesnt go with this golden goodness – especially when executed wrongly.

This list would continue to grow as I update it.
