With a range of matcha latte green tea to savour, each in shooter portion so that we can taste many different types of green tea. Of course you can always asked for more serving for a particular matcha that you fancy, i’m sure Miss Lee will not have any objections. Delight yourself with the many desserts available, all in Green Tea flavour. Panna Cotta, Sponge cakes, quiches & pies, matcha slices, matcha cake and many more to choose from.
And that’s not all, there’s the excellent sandwiches which OChaCha served, coming in three different types, Furitake Salmon Sandwich, Sakura Egg Sandwich, and the Wasabi Tuna Sandwich. For the lack in variation, the sandwiches more than made up for it in the quality. After all at O Cha Cha, they do what they are good at, Matcha!

Social Media Breakfast Singapore
March 29, 2008 (Saturday)
9 am — 12:30pm
Frujch @ SMU (Basement 1, School of Information Systems)
50 Stamford Road
Hot after the heels of Yebbers Anniversary Party @ MINT on March 28, is the first Social Media Breakfast (SMB) on March 29. Gosh, after one night of party at Yebbers, you’ll expect to have some rest right? But no, sat early morning have to wake up to attend SMB.
Yes i know this event is like two to three weeks ago, but i didn’t have the time to write it until now because i was busy shifting my blog. Sorry for the delay!
Call up a random post! LIC may not have a lot reviews, now we are going to 70 odds (got about 20+ not written), it’ll be fun to add “Have a bite” random post generator which i place at the sidebar.
Click on What shall i savour next?
I first saw it from Camemberu blog, so I thought i’ll take a leaf out of her book and use this fun plugging too! Have a bite and see what you eaten!
This plugging (WordPress version) is created by Matt Mullenweg
Have fun!
Time flies, it has been a year already since ladyironchef (LIC) was started. With each post published, and each month flying by, the counter has jump twelve times, and LIC reach its first Anniversary!
Contrary to what many readers or visitors have thought that LIC was a female because of the nick “lady” in lady-ironchef, LIC is actually a Guy! Well just to clarify to prevent any future misunderstanding. Some of the common questions LIC encountered are as follows;
” Why ladyironchef? ”
” Why not gentlemanironchef? ”
” Are you pretending to be a female-blogger so that you can get more visitors? ” …
And the list goes on and on. Well i’ll like to say i can’t really remember the main reason for choosing ladyironchef as the name of my blog a year ago. In the first place i started this blog, it was more of a hobby, a place to document all the place that i had eaten at. It wasn’t begin with being a “foodie” in mind.
That was the main reason for the lack of direction, organisation, and even the content of the posts. Then slowly more and more visitors started to come in, and that was then LIC realise more have to be done, if not it’ll be quite disgraceful to show the visitors the low standard of the writing and the food blog.
LIC took pain, blood, sweat and whatever you can think of, to improve his writing of the food, much more time was spent writing the reviews, from mere mins to a few hours now for writing a single review. Its not as easy as you think because you’ll have to think of what to write, how to describe the food, how to phrase the sentences, everything will be easy if you are good in language, and this unfortunately is where LIC isn’t that strong in.
Following the improvement in the style of writing the food reviews (not that the current reviews are all very well-written), you must know people will get bored and won’t read the long paragraphs of writing (that is only human nature), and to attract readers’ attention, nice photos are needed, this is like what they say after all, pictures tell a thousand words. So LIC learn the better uses of his Canon Ixus, the different angles to take nicer photos (not that the current photos are very good, but slightly nicer than last time)
A shareholder is someone who has some involvement, or stake in, i shall hereby coined the term sharereaders for all the readers at LIC, for all that i’ve written are all shared with you. Thank you all for supporting my blog, be it positive or negative, you’re always welcome at LIC.
ladyironchef.wordpress.com has 47,906 total visitors as of today 6 April, even thought 47k is not a lot (given that some websites have tens of thousands a day), but i’m really satisified with the result. In addition, the first few months of the start of LIC there wasn’t much visitors, the numbers really pick up towards the last few months.
This marks the First Anniversary of LIC, and i hope to share with all my sharereaders many many more years of gastronomic food escapade. And with that, LIC is proud to present you with ladyironchef.com! LIC is moving to my own domain and hosting so as to provide my sharereaders with better, and more enriching food reviews. Please relink me, re-bookmark me, re-remember my website, there’ll be no ladyironchef.wordpress.com from now on it will all be ladyironchef.com !!
Well, this speech can go on and on because LIC really has a lot of thoughts to share with everybody, but i know it is tedious to read each and every word, and most people might not have even read until this part, so i shall end this post here and now. With this, i shall mark the last post on ladyironchef.wordpress.com and begin a whole new chapter at ladyironchef.com
I’ll also like to apologise for the seemingly lack of posts on LIC, no LIC has not stop eating, in fact LIC is eating faster than he blogs, thus the slow pace of the release of new posts. Be sure to check the up & coming posts like Absolute Haven, Rio Brazilian Restaurant, MINT, Social Media Breakfast, Relish, Melvados and many more …

Chapter 1
My Prologue for Ladyironchef (LIC) has been getting quite good response, so let the first of many chapters in LIC monthly gathering begin! It is quite a task organising a gathering because of various reasons.
The budget. Everybody have different budget, so its not easy to choose a place which everyone is comfortable to, so i thought since its the first time, i’ll choose a place which is not very high in budget, should be comfortable for most people
The Time. Everybody also have different time that they are available, so its not easy finding a common time slot to satisfy everyone.
The Location. The place can’t be too ‘ulu’ otherwise people who are staying out of the way will have difficulty going right?
The Food. This should be the main focus since we’re having a food gathering after all, if LIC introduce a lousy place, everyone will be blasting me from left right centre, or asking for refunds!
Having said all that, the place LIC has chosen is Wild Rocket’s Relish, a gourmet burger restaurant.
Date is tentatively set on 6 April. If too many people cannot make it, then we’ll see how and shift it around, but it should remains on a Sunday lunch. And just in case you don’t know, King’s Arcade is just beside Coronation Plaza (see map). The bus services there are 171, 67, 852, 961, 66, 74, 151, 154, 156, 157, 170, 174.
Wild Rocket’s Relish

Time: 12 noon
Please let me know asap because i’ll need to confirm the number of people attending, and do the necessary organising stuff. Send me your mobile number to [email protected], everybody is welcome to join!
