I’m always on the lookout for a hearty brunch and hipster coffee spot. Now that I’ve moved to Singapore, the number of cafe choices is almost as overwhelming as my intensive 10-month MBA course at INSEAD. Cute cafes are dotted all over the country. Yet in spite of all the competition, ATLAS Coffeehouse definitely stands… Read More ATLAS Coffeehouse (SG): Hearty Brunch with Killer Pancakes
‘Brunch‘ has two very different meanings. The first comes with wooden tables, latte art and eggs. The other comes with champagne and… an abundance of all things edible. Unsurprisingly, the second is the version of brunch this new Italian restaurant in Central – SPIGA – is going for.

I love epic brunches so much that I once created my own at home. It consisted of Thai style satay fish & chicken tacos, homemade meatballs, parmesan skillet eggs and berries and cream waffles… Plus fresh orange juice and coffee. It was nothing short of epic. But a HK$900 shopping trip at City Super, 4 hours of… Read More Mr & Mrs Fox: New Epic Brunch in Hong Kong
Some Friday lunch times, I feel like exploring new places and cafes are my favourite things to discover.

The part where I search for a place to go, is not very effort-less however. The Grill, at Grand Hyatt, is one that often pops up in… Read More The Grill, Grand Hyatt: Poolside Weekend Brunch
The last time (before this weekend) I visited Singapore was about three years ago and in this time, the hipster cafe trend has definitely caught on – I’d say they’re ahead of us in Hong Kong (See: Exploring Artisan Coffee Shops in Hong Kong). I was here for a dear friend’s wedding so my opportunities… Read More Curious Palette: All-day Brunch and Coffee in Singapore
I shockingly learnt from my invaluable cooking class at Red Feather Inn that you can easily make your own ricotta cheese at home with close to minimal effort and accessible ingredients too. It’s easy, cheaper (than buying it) and you can use it to make delicious ricotta hotcakes, mix it into your scrambled eggs to… Read More Make Your Own Ricotta Cheese from Scratch with 3 Ingredients
In general, fresh food is good food and Blue Bar Cafe exemplifies this rule. They use the freshest ingredients in their dishes and then cook it to perfection too. That, along with the fact that they served the best coffee of all the places we went to over our 9-day adventure in Tasmania (that must equate… Read More Tasmania: Breakfast with fresh local produce and the best coffee at Blue Bar Cafe
Many Saturdays I wake up feeling hungry and lazy; it’s one of those days when eating becomes the only activity I accomplish. One of my favourite brunch spots has to be The Diner.

Were one of your New Year’s resolutions “eat healthy” (or eat healthier, for those who are a little more realistic)? I’m not as disciplined and goal-oriented to set actual resolutions, but eating healthy has been one of the few goals I’ve had in mind for the past year or two! But as with many in… Read More Make healthy Mondays a habit
