Yayoiken Restaurant Liang Court
February 15, 2012 | 1 Comment
I’m always on the lookout for restaurants that have good food at affordable prices, but I don’t have much luck when it comes to Japanese food as most places tend to be a) cheap but mediocre, or b) good but expensive.
Beatrice, Velda and I were craving for Japanese food after our meeting with the folks from Intel and Toshiba, so we went to Liang Court, also known as little Japan in Singapore. While walking around, we chanced upon Yayoiken, a new Japanese Restaurant at the entrance of Meidi-ya supermarket.
After having lunch there, I’ll go so far as to say that my hunt for a place that serves inexpensive and good Japanese food has ended with Yayoiken at Liang Court.
Bedrock Bar & Grill Steakhouse

One of my strategies for finding good restaurants is through recommendations from friends. I am lucky to have many friends who are “into” food, so I can always trust them to update me about their new favourite restaurants.
A few of my friends have been telling me about Bedrock steakhouse, and whenever they feel like having steaks, I know I’ll most likely be able to find them there.
Bedrock Bar & Grill at Pan Pacific Serviced Suites is a modern New York style steakhouse – opened by restaurateur Keith Loh, who is also the owner of Oriole Cafe. The restaurant boosts a dark, sexy, and classy interior; making it the ideal place to bring your client for a business luncheon, or your date for a romantic dinner.

When I say I’m not a huge fan of Italian food it’s not because I don’t like the cuisine per se, but more so the feeling you get after having an overly hearty pasta meal where you’d go “that’s it I’m having Chinese for the next few weeks”.
Thankfully, I think I’ve found the perfect place for when I’m craving Italian without having to go through that unpleasant aftermath in my gut.
Helmed by Chef Michele Pavanello and housed at the corner of the Red Dot Traffic Building sits OTTO Ristorante. This classy, unpretentious establishment serves amazing Italian fare with a new-age influence. It’s a great place to have a business lunch, bond with the family over a good meal or even for a romantic night out.

If you truly love someone, every day should be like Valentine’s Day.
It’s great to be in love, there are so many sweet things that you can do with your partner: surprise her with a candlelight dinner during a weekend; snuggle in bed on a cold rainy day; send silly messages to each other throughout the day; buy a flower for her even though there’s no special occasion.
Guys, you do not need a reason to be romantic. You should always do things to make her feel special; she is, after-all the most important person in your life. Everyone likes list posts, so here are some romantic ideas/things to do with your partner.
Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Men
February 6, 2012 | 9 Comments
My friends always ask me for suggestions of gift ideas for their boyfriends. Since Valentine’s Day is just next week, I thought it would be fun to share some ideas on presents to get for guys.
Contrary to popular belief, getting presents for men is not that difficult; you just need to know what his hobbies are. Guys love gadgets, or at least, most guys do. Just go along that line and you’ll be fine. If not, you can always bring him to go shopping for a wardrobe overhaul. (Just make sure you promise not to walk into the female section.)
Here’s a list of Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Men.
The First Rule of Blogging
February 5, 2012 | 2 Comments
Given the amount of influence bloggers have on consumer behaviour, I think it’s only fair that bloggers maintain transparency and let readers know what they’re getting into.
There have been recent cases where bloggers in other countries got into trouble for failing to declare their interest. So I will like to take this opportunity to clarify a few things.
Credibility is very important for a blogger, and I strongly believe in maintaining trust and honesty in our unique relationship. I will only recommend restaurants/products/services, whether I’ve paid for it or that they are given to me as gifts; if they’re something that I believe in.
I never want you to question my motives, so I will always highlight advertorials, sponsored reviews, or invited media tastings (read: Guidelines to Food Tasting.) Since we are clarifying house rules, note that all photos on my food blog are taken by me, unless otherwise stated.
Have a good Sunday guys. Do follow me on Pinterest and twitter too.
