Last October, my partner and I had the pleasure of visiting Rome for the very first time. We spent a few days in the Eternal City and while it was a relatively short stay, we managed to explore and eat our way around the city pretty well.
I have always been fascinated with the Roman history. Having read and heard so many things about Rome, it was my dream to visit the city. Like they say: All roads lead to Rome. I am very glad that I finally had the chance to see the city for myself.
If you are planning a trip to Europe, Rome should be at the top of your to-go list. It is worth visiting for a few reasons.
There are good steakhouses, and then there are great ones. CUT by Wolfgang Puck is definitely one of the latter. Wolfgang Puck’s outpost at Marina Bay Sands is the definition of a modern steakhouse. It is a swanky, up-scale, and posh establishment. The folks are serious about their steaks, and they do a very good one.

Mention Chili’s and everyone will think of their tasty Southwestern American favourites. The large menu always spoils us with choices – from tantalising grilled baby back ribs to their signature quesadillas, and fajita, there is always something for everyone at Chili’s. I am especially enamoured of their grilled baby back ribs and molten chocolate cake. So, I am especially excited to hear that they have launched a new “Chillin’ and Grillin’” menu.
From 30 January 2013 through 9 April 2013, you can go to Chili’s – at Tanglin Mall, Resorts World Sentosa, JCube and their newest restaurant at Central @ Clarke Quay – and enjoy the new four dishes.

Tiong Bahru is one of the oldest residential estates in Singapore. But in recent times, it has undergone a renaissance; the area is probably the hippest neighbourhood in Singapore right now. It all started with the opening of a coffee joint and an indie book store along Yong Siak Street. The rest, as they say, is history.
Here is a guide to Tiong Bahru’s restaurants, bars, cafes and shops.
