FOODIE VS THE WORLD 

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's rejuvenated Chinatown, Concubine is rich with KL's history on the dark underworld trade – think secret mahjong nights, gang lord reunions, opium smokers, prostitution and sketchy merchants. This restaurant-cum-bar is decorated with murals and art installations that aims to give you an idea of the old days in KL. If you’re looking for a new Insta-worthy spot, Concubine is the place to go! The concept for Concubine is inspired by unapologe

After eight years, Kilo Kitchen has moved out from its original location at Kampung Bugis Road to 97 Duxton Road. Kilo Kitchen offers modern comfort food with their dishes inspired from various cuisines around the world, mainly focusing on a fusion twist which uses Latin American and Asian cooking techniques. A new feature at Kilo's new home at Duxton is its open-kitchen concept with a wood fired grill on sight- a style of cooking Head Chef Manel has honed throughout his culi

Ever since I started working in the CBD, discovering a new hang out spot is one of the things that I look forward to the most. The WEROC Group has recently acquired and relaunched Ash & Char - the refreshed chic gastrobar nestled along the bustling MacCallum Street. I walked past Ash & Char on multiple occasions, their open bar concept is what attracted me to give this new kid on the block a try. With a name like Ash & Char, you'd immediately think of nice charred and tender

With the gig economy on the rise in Singapore, startups and freelancers are constantly on the lookout for a chilled enough environment to meet, collaborate on ideas and work. Preferably with food around the corner too! This is what Clubco and Club Meatballs have created, a co-working space with all the amenities, starting with packages from $500 a month. The big difference in this membership fee, compared to other co-working spaces, is that you are able to use the equivalent

We are back again at the Upper Place in Wangz Hotel to savour some of Chef William’s gastronomic creations in a few new additions to the menu. The last time we were here, we were so impressed and was at total awe with the food here that we knew that we were going to be blown away once again here. Jumping straight into the food, we had the Pumpkin Soup ($14) to start and just looking at it, it was quite interesting with the papadum on top of it. Who would’ve thought that papad

Say hello to the latest Sichuan joint in town – Chengdu Restaurant! Located at the where several awesome food places are in the Telok Ayer area, Chengdu is introducing some of their quirky dishes that are sure to make you go “wow”! To start, we tried the Chilli Beef with Sweet Corn Base ($24.80). When it first came, I couldn’t image that corn was turned into something so crispy. The corn base was super crunchy and went well with the tender beef. The Pork Belly in Garlic ($12.

Asian fusion food is gaining popularity in Singapore, but after trying many, I feel that it’s a hit or miss concept. You either get it right or it can go horribly wrong. Thankfully, our lunch at the Upper Place @ Wangz Hotel was a total hit and every dish was absolutely magnificent. Although I was (supposed to be) on a diet, coming here definitely made me call that day my cheat day and it was worth every single calorie. To start, we had a bowl of Sweet Corn Soup ($14). I usua

I took a hiatus from doing food reviews for a few months, mostly due to an overloaded schedule and some travelling, so it felt quite serendipitous that the last place I reviewed before my break -- Neon Pigeon, is the one that I returned with. You can check out my previous review here. This time round, Neon Pigeon had a new bar bites menu that they were presenting to us. Their food has always been intriguing, a combination of different cuisines and styles to make for a more in

A little over a month ago when I was wondering around the Outram area looking for food, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon this very busy, very chic-looking restaurant that didn't have a signboard with a name, but only a small neon pigeon. Curious about this very modern establishment we decided to head in. Needless to say, a few weeks later when I was given the opportunity to return to this restaurant to write a proper review on their new items just added to the menu, I jumped

I’ve been to Italy once and I absolutely loved the food there. One of the best foods in Europe, in my opinion. But when I came back to Asia, I found that nothing could compare. I wasn’t sure if it was the ingredients used or the way the dishes were cooked that was slightly “Asianised”. But I was brought back to that summer I spent in Italy when I dined at Burlamacco over at Amoy Street, which is helmed by Chef Gabriele Piegaia from Tuscany, Italy. If you notice, Burlamacco sp
