We were back again at The Line, the buffet restaurant at Shangri-La hotel. It was yet another $29 lunch buffet promotion. The Line serves an international cuisine buffet. Their 16 culinary stations serves a very wide spread of food to suit every taste bud. It was a sort of buffet extravaganza, featuring Japanese food, Chinese dim-sum, Italian cuisine, Indian dishes, and even local favourites like chicken rice, roast pork, laksa, etc. Many years back when I first visited The Line,…
Ian was down with HFMD the last week or so. To be safe, both him and Vanessa were grounded at home. We try to keep them apart as much as possible so that, hopefully, Vanessa does not get infected. She had a false alarm with HFMDÂ previously. She doesn’t have any symptoms at all this time around. Vanessa and Ian have been quite miserable to be stuck at home all day. Last evening, Vanessa was bugging me to fix up her…
The Wife was craving for some nice Dim Sum, and came across this Dim Sum a la carte buffet promotion at Hai Tien Lo. This is an award-winning fine-dining Cantonese cuisine restaurant located at Level 37 of the Pan Pacific Hotel. With breathtaking views of the Singapore skyline and the habour, this is the sort of place to go to impress business partners and clients. You’d probably think it will cost a lot to dine there. Yes, unless, of course,…
Have you heard of EAT? Not about the verb concerning the consumption of food. But EAT, the eatery that has been opening outlets all over Singapore in recent years. They sell local noodle fares like fishball noodles, minced pork noodes, dumpling noodles and laksa. EAT is a mini restaurant concept brand owned by the Fei Siong Group. The first outlet I knew about was the one at Rail Mall. I’m not sure if that was their first, but this one…
If you’re a Fish & Chips lover, you’ve probably been spoilt for choice. There are plenty of pretty good Fish & Chips here in Singapore. Decently priced too. Here’s another one. If you’ve not been to the food court at Tanglin Mall, you should check it out. The Fish & Chips pictured here comes Paddy’s The Australian Concept. It’s one of the stalls in the food court. Paddy’s not a regular type of food court stall. It occupies a much…
This photo was from about a year ago, and I had shared it on Facebook previously, but it’s so funny I thought I’ll share it on my blog as well. I was browsing through some old photos in my album and this brought back some laughs. This is little Ian, gate-crashing his elder sister Vanessa’s ballet class. Nevermind that everyone else in the class are girls, all wearing pink ballet costumes, and that his bright yellow T-shirt and blue shorts…
Isaac’s exactly three months old today. With two other kids to look after, and plenty of domestic help to support us, Isaac doesn’t quite get the same amount of attention as when we only had Vanessa with us. Of course, Isaac’s not lacking any love from us, even though we’ve got to divide our time. I’m quite amazed at how sociable this little baby is. He loves being carried around. I’m his Daddy, so maybe that’s not so unusual. But…
Marche has been around in Singapore for a long time. First at Hereen, then at Suntec. It’s current restaurants at 313@Somerset and Vivocity aren’t exactly new either. But I haven’t visited any of them since the Suntec one. So finally, I got around to patronizing the restaurant at 313@Somerset. This is actually the 2nd time I stepped into the 313@Somerset restaurant. The first time I went there, I didn’t actually eat anything. You see, my little baby Vanessa was with…
Do you like spicy food? I bet most Singaporeans do! In case you’ve not heard, McDonald’s has brought back their Double McSpicy burger and Spicy Nuggets. It’s a seasonal item, so don’t delay too long. Too bad there is no discount promotion with these items. It’s the same goodness as it was ever before – I just headed down to a nearby McDonald’s restaurant to sink my teeth into them! People who don’t like spicy: Erm, you don’t know what…
I’ve been trying to find a small compact little bag. Something that I can use as an alternative to a waist pouch. Particularly if I wanted to carry a bit more things than will fit in a waist pouch. Or a little heavier than can be comfortably held in a waist pouch. I finally found something. It’s this nice looking sling bag from Wenger, cost about S$42 from OG. Have you heard of the Wenger brand? I’m not very familiar…
