Wendy’s at Lau Pa Sat

by

A third reason to visit Lau Pa Sat: We discovered it only yesterday, thanks to a tip from Tyne and Monet. We couldn’t help ourselves and had to check it out today. I’ve always been a fan of their frosty back in the Philippines, so I tried out their twisted frosty with M&M’s. It’s made […]

Sticky Rice

by

On Christmas day, we had lunch at Brian and Elma’s favorite restaurant in Ang Mo Kio Hub – Sticky Rice. It’s a Thai restaurant. Normally I just ignore this place because I am not a fan of sticky rice per se, so I’m glad the two introduced us to it. Brian and Elma had orange […]

Pump and Spize and Everything Nize

by

Last night I met up with the UE Square girls. Our meeting was a popular restaurant named Spize the Makan Place. I had never been there, before, though, so I took a cab to get there and the following conversation ensued between me and the driver. Me: 409 River Valley Road, please.Driver: Do you know […]

The Ramen Girls

by

I met the “ramen girls” for lunch at our favorite ramen place for lunch – Marutama Ra-men. It serves the best-tasting ramen and seasoned egg I have ever had. It was raining – the perfect weather for ramen. It also meant that we had to ride a cab from UE Square to Liang Court even […]

Best Filipino Food in Singapore

by

Years ago, if someone asked me what my favorite cuisine was, I’d reply that I wasn’t sure, maybe Italian or Chinese and that Mexican food ain’t bad, too. That was before I left my country. Now, when someone asks me what my favorite cuisine is, my answer is a resounding “Filipino food!” Thank goodness we […]

Recipe: Pork Potapples

by

Some people find cooking therapeutic. I’m one of those people, though I’m not sure why that is so. Like earlier, I cooked and nearly cried when the oil started dancing high in the pan and I couldn’t prevent the pork chop from getting burned because I was too scared to go near it, then I […]

Doubly Delicious

by

I was in Wheelock Place the other day when I walked past The Big O and its counter of delicious looking cakes. In most other stores, I’d be really confused as to which to buy – cheesecake or chocolate mousse? Here, both of my favorites had been married into one slice – the Big O […]

Chocolate Cake Cravings

by

Warning: if you are highly susceptible to irresistible food cravings when exposed to reading or visual material about food, please stop reading right now. That means you, Zenie. When RayC and AA were a week into their relationship, RayC sent AA an Awfully Chocolate cake. That’s the cake’s name, hence the capital letters. Awfully sweet […]

The Aligaga Place

by

Yesterday was my last day in UAPL, so my lunch buddies said I could pick where I wanted to eat. I pondered where was the most memorable place that we had lunch and it came to me in a flash – “Let’s go to the aligaga place!” The place I was referring to is actually […]
