Tburu ~ A Beautiful Sushi & Grill Restaurant At Orchardgateway@Emerald



Tburu is not one of those restaurants you'd passed by and say "Let's go in and have a meal". It is hidden away on level 5 in Orchardgateway@Emerald, accessible only by a lift from within Crate & Barrel.

The lift seem to have transported us to a parallel universe when its door opened. Very tranquil and no one in sight, a far contrast to the hustle bustle of Orchard Road we have experienced just seconds ago. So here we were, beyond the white paneled entrance is a contemporary looking Japanese restaurant specializing in sushi and grilled items.

Grand Park City Hall Hotel ~ Indulge At Park Offers Long Weekend Tunch & Asian BBQ Buffet Dinner!



I thought I had already sworn off buffets in consideration of an alarming horizontal growth, but why oh why must the Grand Park City Hall's Asian BBQ Weekend Buffet Dinner sound so tempting? The spotlight is on barbeque delights grilled ala minute, in addition to the scrumptious lineup of Asian, local and continental fare.

Okay, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak, and and and, we need to eat dinner anyway right? So off we go!

What makes you happy? Happy Mookata maybe? At just $25.90 nett per person for an ala-carte buffet of Thai traditional BBQ, I believe it has made many tummies and wallets happy in a way :p

It was a Wednesday evening when I walked past the lure of $1 buffalo wings day at Smokey's BBQ, and headed straight for my intended dinner destination, Happy Mookata at Sunset Lane. Focus, focus, because a delectable spread is waiting.

FYR Cycene Ond Drinc @ Boon Tat Street ~ Modern European Restaurant With Asian Influences



FYR Cycene Ond Drinc (pronounced as FIRE Kitchen and Drink) sounds exactly like my kind of place! Meat! Grill! Fire! Harking us back to the primal enjoyment of food, and therein lies the appeal for me. I'm a carnivore, hear me roar!

To complete the dining experience, the restaurant is done up in a rather rustic way with wall murals depicting the etymology of fire. The use of much stone and wood elements further lends the restaurant a distinct olden-day charm.

Bingsu, Ice Cream, Ice Kachang, Snowflake Shaved Ice. Do we really need so many variety of icy desserts? In this hot and sunny island where we live in, the answer is definitely yes!

Add Italian Gelato that list, and more specifically, +39 Gelato Bar (named after Italy's country code) to one of my favorite places in Singapore for indulgence of the premium kind. I swooned over its delightful offerings faster than the passionate heat can swoon me.

Akari Japanese Dining Bar @ Marina Bay Financial Centre ~ A Beautiful Kaiseki Dinner



There are so many things to like about Japanese cuisine! From hearty ramen to exciting omakase surprises, I love them all! My latest indulgence was a wondrous Kaiseki dining experience at Akari Japanese Dining Bar.

This is the first time ever that Akari introduces kaiseki set to their dinner repertoire of over 70 items, buoyed by the addition of Chef Hirotaka Murata from Tokyo who has more than 20 years of culinary experience under his belt.

Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant @ Ngee Ann City ~ Seafood Paella, Suckling Pig & YouTube Video With Local Singer-Songwriter Lin Sitong 林思彤!



PinkyPiggu spent a Saturday afternoon with a pig! A very delicious Spanish Suckling Pig! Haha!

Many a times we are caught up with pursuing the latest food fad, or checking out the trending talk-of-the-town, and lose out in embracing gems which might be dismissed as "boring" only because the place has been around for sometime. Casting any restrictive mindset aside, I visited Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant. How was the experience? As heart thumping exciting as a flamenco dance! My tummy was serenaded with gratification in every chomp!

The Royal Mail (TRM) Restaurant & Bar @ Ascott Singapore, Raffles Place ~ Where Delectable Modern British Cuisine Awaits!



As the multitude of footsteps hurried towards Raffles Place mrt station to leave the CBD area during the happy after-6 office hour, I braved mine in the opposite direction and headed for The Ascott Singapore. I was just as happy, because that's where The Royal Mail (TRM) Restaurant & Bar is located and dinner is waiting for me.

In celebration of its 3rd anniversary, TRM is giving a 20% discount off its dinner ala-carte menu everyday from now till 30th May 2015! Woohoo must hurry!
