I’m sceptical about Hong Kong cafes in Singapore. A bowl of instant noodles, with sunny side-up and luncheon meat for $6-8? Or how about the so-called “authentic dim sum” which was supposed to be Hong Kong’s speciality. Even though I didn’t go to Hong Kong before, much less tried the authentic Hong Kong cuisine, but the rumours about the quality of the food at such cafes couldn’t be that far-fetch. After all, they say there can’t be no smoke without any wind.
There are many unfortunate people around the world, who need our help. Those that were born to this world with disabilities, those that were abandoned by their parents from young, those that were imprint with diseases the moment they enter this world. With the recent fiascos in our local charity scene, namely the NKF, and Ren Ci saga, I believe Singaporeans faith in the establishments are shaken, and donations have greatly reduced.
But we should not abandon those who need our help, just because of a few black sheep. This children’s day, 1 Oct 2008, needy children in Cambodia born with cleft facial deformities will have reasons to smile. In celebration of Hock Lam Beef’s 97th Anniversary, the renowned eatery at Far East Square, well known for its traditional beef broth will be partnering Operation Smile Singapore to donate all proceeds of the day and operating costs to provide life-changing treatments and surgeries for children in Cambodia born with facial deformities.
UE Square is in between Mohamed Sultan road, and Robertson quay, together the area’s a conclave for food and beverage alike. Bontá Italian restaurant & Bar is one of them, located within UE square facing Mohamed Sultan. Having seen this place on both my past visits to Sage the restaurant, and Epicurious, I immediately recalled this place when my partner mentioned that they are famed for their complimentary bread.
Royal China @ Raffles exudes the prestige and grandeur as the famous colonial Raffles Hotel. Housed in the 3rd level of the hotel, Royal China definitely strikes out to be a cut-above-the-rest with its impressive name, and location. Having heard rave reviews about Royal China’s dim sum, it was about time that I patronised the restaurant, and boy I was charmed.

LIC had the opportunity to attend Cool Rhino product launch at Eski bar last week. Despite never visiting Eski bar before, i had friends who went before, so i roughly figured out it’ll be cold, like the name implied anyway. The place was intended at Eski bar, since it’s the “coolest” bar around, which fitted in rightly with the theme of the event, Cool Rhino!
After meeting you once,
I could never forget the encounter.
We had so many tries, that I overlook your existance.
Still, I believe, we should remain separately.
For I have since found my new love, the lovely in pink.
Life’s simple pleasures. I liked Mr bean’s tagline, it’s easy enough, and i thought it conveyed the message quite well. I never really noticed it before since i didn’t try them. Have you felt the beauty of a smile, the warmth of a touch or the bliss of simply watching the world go by, the goodness of Mr bean soya milk’s a life simple pleasure.
Another store which stood out at Lau Pa Sat for its unique name, was Souper! Like the name implied, the food couldn’t be far off from soup, and it did slightly remind me of our Chinese steamed soup with rice. Well except for Souper they had baguette instead of rice to go along with the soup.
