Tai Cheong Bakery will be opening its first outlet in Singapore at the basement of Takashimaya on 27 June 2016.
Tai Cheong is an institution in Hong Kong, and its egg tarts are well-loved by people from all around the globe. Egg tart is one of the must-try local food in Hong Kong, and we are extremely delighted to know that Tai Cheong Bakery’s egg tarts are going to be so accessible for us soon!
The legendary Michelin Guide is already available in 25 countries, and it is with little surprise that Singapore is finally joining the gourmet club and having its restaurants ranked by the gastronomic guide.
Is Singapore’s food industry simultaneously stressed and excited about this? You bet!
For those who are not in the know, the Michelin Guide is a world-famous food guide that ranks food establishments incognito. To be awarded even just a star will be life-changing, and the highest attainable status is three stars – this rare classification is given to truly exceptional restaurants that are worth flying to for.
But as with all other matters, there are two sides to the coins for everything. There will be the pros, and there will be the cons. While we are thrilled with the Michelin Guide launch next year and the various prospects Singapore stands to gain, we also cannot help but worry if this might, too, bring along unnecessary side effects.
Most of us have long formed the impression that hotels, however fancy, tend to serve crappy coffee. But it seems like things are beginning to change for the better in Singapore.
We have never come across a more legit specialty coffee shop than this surprise - The Coffee Belt at Park Hotel Alexandra. It is every bit a coffee lover’s dream.
If we need any more reasons to indulge in a buffet, it would be the countdown to the New Year.
How about 5 different fantastic buffet spreads at Grand Hyatt Singapore? As part of the festivities of New Year’s Eve, Grand Hyatt Singapore’s ‘Project 2.106′ is a future-inspired countdown party at the Grand Ballroom.
Access to this party comes free with every booking to any one of these 5 special buffet spreads. And at the party, think futuristic entertainment with a dramatic laser show production, free-flow beverages, pumping live music and also free access to the signature grand dessert buffet. Yes, amazing deal we have here.
Prices start from S$238++ for the whole deal, and if you are a Club at the Hyatt member, you enjoy a 15% off any of the buffet spreads!
Located just across the Serangoon Stadium, it is pretty easy to miss The Plain Jane – a quaint little cafe which just opened recently; it is unassuming, but definitely worth looking out for. The interior is filled with vintage items and collectibles, and how we love those hanging lightbulbs.
Jane, the lady boss (hence, the name of this cafe) shared about her daily fresh bakes with much enthusiasm. Do not expect rainbows cakes and bright bakes here, because Jane likes to keep everything simple. Well, The Plain Jane, right?

Dining out during Christmas has its cons; for one, everything becomes a lot more expensive, especially a hotel’s buffet spread. But we were completely surprised by The Carvery at Park Hotel Alexandra when they unveil an extremely affordable holiday-themed buffet starting from only S$45++ per adult and S$25++ per child. All the feasting at such a steal? We are in!
The Carvery is a meat-centric buffet in Singapore where you get to enjoy unlimited premium meats that are freshly sliced to order. This Christmas, think gourmet Yuletide treats such as Spiced Orange Roast Duck and Lamb Leg, as well as comforting classics of Yorkshire Pudding and Seafood Bouillabaisse.
We’ve already said it, and we will say it again – The Carvery has the best value-for-money buffet this Christmas.
And when you dine in the evening at The Carvery during this festive period, you can enter a lucky draw hosted by Park Hotel Alexandra. The prize? A brand new Prada Tessuto Saffiano Shopping Tote Bag worth S$1,520 sponsored by Reebonz!
Nasi Campur is technically a mixed rice dish filled with multiple small dishes and we, like many other tourists, find ourselves drawn to it whenever we visit Bali. This dish is simply a showcase of all the best kind of food you can find in Indonesia.
It is similar to our Singaporean Cai Fan or mixed vegetables rice, and it consists of a number of dishes surrounding steamed white rice. Some of the more popular small dishes include tempeh, stir-fried eggplant or green beans, curried meats and fried eggs.
