[Billund] No.8 – Finer than expected

First business trip since my return to the corporate world = (severe jetlag + low energy level) * first few days. The first week was spent in Prague where so much was happening I couldn’t figure day from night. Needless to say, I did not have the chance to experience any authentic Czech food nor breath inRead More

Queues, Queues & Longer Queues

It is getting so difficult to avoid long queues for food in Singapore. See below for the three “infamous queues” in town recently. Jollibee Singapore (Image by Sheere Ng, Makansutra)  Jollibee is one of my favourite fast food restaurants and my “must go” whenever I visit The Philippines. I love the juicy beef steaks  andRead More

Fond memories of Breakfasts in [Melbourne]

It’s been three months since my trip to Melbourne and just this morning I found myself missing the one thing that I neglect all too often – breakfast. Since it is not part of the plan to return to there for a long time now, all I can is to reminisce on my best breakfastRead More

[New Delhi] McDonald’s – McSpicy Paneer

I like how Mcdonald’s tries to localize their menu in various countries to suit the local taste buds. One of my favourite McDonald burger is the Sichuan burger I had in China. Thus, I’m keen to try the vegeterian burgers unique to India to see how they fare.   McSpicy Paneer Extra Value Meal – The traditional IndianRead More

[Melbourne] Circa The Prince – Modern Elegance

So, here I am – nicely settled in Melbourne. In case you are wondering…nope, I am not calling this home for good. I merely believe in “Carpe Diem” – because watching a tennis grand slam LIVE has always been one of those things on my bucket list…I decided to seize the opportunity since I amRead More

[Sydney] Double Roaster – Worth a Double Visit

Located in Marrickville (a place once known for its array of vietnamese eateries that has since evolved to become home of many great cafes), Double Roasters is primarily known for its awesome/aromatic freshly roasted beans. With my rather vibrant cafe-hopping lifestyle of late, this cafe managed to impress my brunch buddy (M) and I quiteRead More

Hatched – Again

[LEFT] Hatched at Evans Lodge. The all-day-breakfast cafe has a second branch in Holland Village now. [RIGHT] Similar to P – I really like the interesting salt & pepper designs. Every table has a different set. FROM LEFT - Sir Benedict & Smoked Royale It’s an eggs benny day! The eggs here were pretty well done. However, I can’t say theRead More

Wilton Fondant & Gum Paste #4 – My Little Blue Box

My Finale Cake - Simple can be harder than complex (Well said, Jobs). This classic design turns out to be more challenging than I thought. It is so much harder to cover the corners of a square cake vs. a round cake – The fondant tears easily at the edges. Well….I guess I can’t make a Tiffany usingRead More
