[Translate] Bak kwa is a beloved Singaporean meat snack (and it’s loved by many Chinese since we have a similar version but it’s different). I’ve heard and read that Lim Chee Guan is one of the best brands in Singapore who makes this from scratch so I had to visit their original shop in Chinatown. (more…)
[Translate] JustIN Flavours of Asia is the famous Singaporean chef-owner Justin Quek’s all-day casual restaurant. It serves elevated Singaporean comfort food by cooking with better ingredients and making most of their own sauces. The 72-seat restaurant, which faces Marina Bay Sands’ nightly light and water show. We came in relatively late after seeing the light and water show, it was a buzzy atmosphere with its outdoor seating and there’s many groups of diners having a relaxed dinner. (more…)

[Translate] If you do seek an intense chocolate session either by yourself or with a few friends in Singapore, the best place for that is The Dark Gallery. This brand has two locations in Takashimaya Singapore or at Millenia Walk. We visited the former. This cafe at Takashimaya is front loaded with displays containing beautiful cakes (containing various degrees of chocolate you want your cake to have), bonbons, pastries and ice creams. There is a good amount of seating in the back of the shop. They source their chocolates utilized in their chocolate desserts and beverages from trusted chocolate brands..
[Translate] As one would generally expect, Singapore is a city-country that is multicultural, diverse and cosmopolitan. I was craving fresh Mediterranean food (not like I have an issue with local Singaporean fare but want a change for that moment) so Fat Prince was my answer for lunch. Fat Prince is a lovely cafe to have a calm meal. During the time I’ve visited there, it was a mix of a locals having a relaxing meal and a few small groups of nearby office workers having lunch together. The lunch menu is tightly edited to mezzes and about six or seven..
Hotel Reviews
[Translate] While I was in Singapore, I stayed at the lovely Ann Siang House is close to the Central Business District, a 10 and 15-minute walk away to the Tanjong Pagar and Chinatown metro stops, respectively. The heritage property keeps its public spaces lean and clean. The entrance opens into a reception desk that abuts a minimalist lobby lounge-meets-breakfast room. Outside breakfast hours, guests may help themselves to filtered water in glass bottles, tea as well as coffee from the Jura coffee machine. (more…)
[Translate] Yan Ting at St Regis Singapore is a very comfortable restaurant that can impress both visitors (like myself) and locals. The latter crowd are definitely affluent or some who want to celebrate an occasion. The dim sum menu is traditional and it is covers a lot of categories. I’ve eaten with a few friends that afternoon and how the dim sum brunch works is that we each have our own pot of soup double-boiled fish maw soup with black garlic (原盅黑蒜炖花胶) and wok-baked Boston lobster with XO sauce (XO酱焗波士顿龙虾). We get to choose as many dishes as we want...

[Translate] If all of you are wondering why did I go to Montebello? It’s because it’s close to Ottawa (about an hour away by car) and I wanted to be away from the city (any, not just New York). Fairmont Le Château Montebello Montebello is located on a bank of the Ottawa River with its own marina. This grand log-built hotel provides rustic luxury, local flavor, beautiful grounds, great views, and heaps of activities to do for both summer and winter. It’s an annual family destination for many well-heeled Canadians (or tourist within the northeastern part of the U.S., it..
[Translate] Hyatt Regency Mexico City offers a unique infusion of Eastern and Western influences, with Asian elements sprinkled throughout the property. Not only does this Latin American-Asian fusion set the Hyatt Regency apart from its Polanco-area neighbors, but it’s popular with leisure travelers and business travelers. Though we were in the heart of one of Mexico City’s tastiest gastronomic districts, the hotel’s three restaurants (especially the Japanese plates at Yoshimi, as I’ve written earlier), excellent Sunday brunch at Rulfo (read here) as well as Amado, a pastry shop, are worth sampling.

Ms. Labaune always brought the best truffles for her company and ultimately for us, the consumer. Of course, truffles are one of the few ultimate food luxuries to have and I’ve been given the task to create a couple of truffle recipes using Gourmet Attitude’s exceptional truffles.
