Black pepper crab. Salted egg yolk crab. Curry crab. Chilli crab. Marmite crab. Crab kut teh. Wait, are we done with the list? Not quite, apparently. And you know what this means? It is time to party with crabs!

The annual crab feast at PARKROYAL on Beach Road is here again from 13 June till 27 July 2014, and it just gets better each year.

Plaza Brasserie Crab Buffet

With 27 crab dishes including 14 whole crabs prepared in different styles, on top of everyone’s favourite seafood station, chefs preparing their speciality dishes ala minute, and a Best of Asia buffet spread – Plaza Brasserie presents its highly anticipated The Ultimate Crab Feast buffet dinner (adult S$65++. child S$39++). Yes, we can already feel your excitement!

We don’t know many people who would say no to free-flow of quality crabs, but we know this is one dinner you must not miss. Here are the highlights from The Ultimate Crab Feast by Plaza Brasserie at PARKROYAL on Beach Road.

Snow Colors Dessert Bar Introduces Snow Ice Waffles in Singapore

by / 141 comments

Snow Colors Waffles

We have always been a fan of snow ice. This popular Taiwanese dessert – made of ribbons of flavoured ice topped with fresh fruits – is an indulgence, and a much-needed treat to combat Singapore’s weather.

Snow Colors Dessert & Bar – a simple, no-frills dessert shop located at the ground floor of Katong Plaza, just directly opposite the famous 328 Katong laksa – has brought this popular dessert to the next level by combining it with waffles. Brilliant move, we’d say.

A glorious mountain of snow ice piled atop piping hot and crispy waffle – It is like having the best of both worlds! We are surprised that no one had thought of this combination earlier. The other options include Waffles with butter and maple syrup (S$4), Waffles with fruits (S$7.50), and Waffles with snow ice & fruits (S$8.50). Go for the full works; it is satisfying as it is pretty. And the best part? No exorbitant price tags.

Mango Ice

Waffles aside, Snow Colors offers quite an array of snow ice desserts (S$6) – from everyone’s favourite mango shaved ice, to the popular D24 durian snow ice with durian puree, Japanese matcha snow ice paired with red beans, and Chendol snow ice topped with candied red beans, green jelly and doused in gula melaka sauce.

The folks at Snow Colors are constantly testing new flavours in the kitchen, so we are looking forward to more interesting and creative creations from them. Snow Colors shares the same premise as Baba Peranakan, an eatery which dishes out earnest and affordable homecooked Peranakan cuisine. If you are in the Katong and Joo Chiat area, you must drop by for Peranakan food and cool down with an icy treat.

Top 10 Things We Like About Airbnb

by / 3 comments

Airbnb

What do you think of when you travel? Whether air tickets are within your budget, or if taxis are exorbitant to hire? What about accommodation? What are your thoughts when it comes to your bed (and breakfast)?

There is no lack of properties to put up at wherever you travel to, because tourism has evolved and the world is definitely chalking up on the supply to meet the demands. And if you ask us, accommodation attributes largely to your overall experience – whatever kind of holiday you take.

While we love our huge beds and fluffy sheets of commercialised hotels, we enjoy blending in to local cultures and truly experience living like a local. Which is why we have been such believers of Airbnb. In our recent trip to Italy, all our accommodations were booked via Airbnb and we could not be more pleased with the experience.

Venice apartment

For the uninitiated, Airbnb www.airbnb.com.sg is a booking website that offers accommodations all over the world and they are uniquely localized – think staying in a local’s summer house, with the entire apartment to yourself. You have the whole master bedroom to yourself, you can watch TV in the living room, you can cook breakfast, you can do your laundry…

Today, we share with you 10 reasons why we love Airbnb so much, and as we wrote this post, we were already counting down to our next Airbnb experience!

by / No Comments

Martini Bar

Like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, it is always satisfying to discover new places where you can get a good drink before dinner. Even better when the pot of gold is conveniently located in the heart of Orchard Road.

The martini bar at mezza9 is one of those secret hideouts that only folks in the know head to. There are a few reasons why it has remained hugely popular, and many more reasons why we think you will love it too. First, it is a gorgeous spot to have a drink after work. The glass-enclosed bar on the mezzanine level of Grand Hyatt Singapore provides a view of Scotts Road. Second, with over 30 delicious speciality concocted martinis, it is a shrine that martini lovers can worship.

Martini Bar Singapore

Third – and the main reason for this post – martini bar at mezza9 is having a more than fantastic promotion that everyone should know about. From Monday to Wednesday 6pm to 9pm, enjoy 9 different martinis at S$9++ each! The usual prices for martinis here range from S$19 to S$28, so the S$9++ offer is really a deal of a century.

From Almond Martini, to Blueberry Citrus made with Effen vodka, blueberry liqueur, and grapefruit juice – each of the nine martini reveals a different statement about you.

Let’s just say you must go to the martini bar to try one of the nine martinis post dinner at mezza9, else, for the lack of better descriptions, you’d never know what you are missing out. Which martini best describes you? Try it and let us know!

by / Comment (1)

Max Brenner Chocolate Bar

When we say ‘Esplanade’, do you only think of the festivals and concerts that take place all year round? Well, the performing arts centre that is nicknamed the “Durian” is home to more than just the artsy stuff, especially during Esplanade Mall’s annual weekday lunchtime promotional period!

From 12th May to 1st August 2014, cave in to a gastronomically delightful escapade and feast at Esplanade Mall with a party of friends with the 3-for-2 promotion (www.esplanade.com/3isnotacrowd). Yes, you’ve got that right. For every 3 main courses, you only pay for the price of 2. And to sweeten the deal, with every 3-for-2 receipt, you enjoy complimentary parking for 3 hours! Not only that, the first 20 to present their receipts will receive a $5 shopping voucher for use at Esplanade Mall retail stores. Two is company but three is definitely not a crowd!

Maybe you never knew, but Esplanade Mall is quite a food heaven in its own rights. There are cuisines of all kinds to pamper all palates and preferences. We can dine there twice a week and not repeat any of the dishes we had! Every restaurant has its selection of dishes, so we went on a food trail and curated our favourites from this promotion.

Here is a guide to Esplanade Mall’s 3-for-2 Weekday Lunch Promotion 2014, and some of our picks from the various outlets:
