The most honest and in-depth Singapore food reviews, from hawker food to cafes to fancy restaurants. Our passion for food means we only share the best!

With its ubiquity, it’s worthy of respect when a stall can leave a deep etch on the Zi Char scene as Keng Eng Kee Seafood did. Continue reading “Keng Eng Kee Seafood”
The spectacular sight of the Marina Bay Sands has become a common fixture in our dining scene, adding some majesty to many restaurants’ mise-en-scene. But there’s a touch of elegance to the cul-de-sac at Collyer Quay that Caffe Fernet rests on, making it feel like a charming unwinding spot. Continue reading “Caffe Fernet”
Yakitori has been having its moment in the spotlight in the Singapore Japanese food sphere as places like Yatagarasu have been unearthed and propelled into the spotlight in recent years.
