Kenangan Coffee Singapore: Affordable Premium Spanish Latte

ABBEY: If you’re like me and have noticed Kenangan Coffee shops popping up everywhere, you’re probably wondering what all the buzz is about. I recently decided to satisfy my curiosity by downloading their app, which came with a nice bonus—a discount on their popular Creamy Aren Latte.

True to its name, the Creamy Aren Latte is rich and silky smooth. It has the perfect blend of sweetness and bitterness that makes each sip truly enjoyable. The temperature was just right, allowing me to savor every taste without it being too hot or too cold. If you’re looking for something equally comforting, I’d also recommend their D Spanish Latte—it’s warm, smooth, and has a subtle sweetness that makes it a perfect pick-me-up.

The atmosphere at their Sengkang branch is cozy and inviting, ideal for catching up with a friend or simply enjoying some quiet time with a delicious coffee. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast or just in the mood for a relaxing space to unwind, Kenangan Coffee offers a great experience.

Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu: $25 Beef Cutlet with Unlimited Sides now in Singapore

ABBEY: Are you a fan of juicy, tender steak? Then you’ll want to check out Gyokatsu Kyoto Katsugyu, a fantastic spot to satisfy any steak cravings! We recently indulged in a meal here, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint.

I ordered the Sirloin Gyukatsu Zen, which came with a delicious spread: tender breaded steak, a side of miso soup, an onsen egg, Japanese radish, and fluffy rice. The steak itself was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and incredibly tender. The restaurant recommends trying the steak as-is, but if you prefer it a bit more done, no worries! They provide a hot plate so you can cook it to your liking.

For me, a couple of bowls of rice were perfect to soak up all the flavors, and the umami-rich soup made for a great finishing touch. Overall, this meal was a satisfying, delightful experience that’s perfect for steak lovers!

Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu $25 Beef Cutlet with Unlimited Sides now in Singapore

WILL: Are you ready for a new way to enjoy beef? Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu brings the magic of deep-fried beef cutlet—known as “Gyukatsu”—straight from Kyoto to Raffles City, Singapore. Traditionally made with Wagyu beef, Gyukatsu is a dish you’ll want to savor.

At first, I wondered: Would Gyukatsu taste like pork tonkatsu? But one bite proved me wrong. The beef is tender and juicy, cooked to a perfect medium rare despite being deep-fried. No need for extra searing on a hot plate—it’s just right as it is.

We tried the Sirloin Gyukatsu Zen set for SGD 25, which includes soup, fresh cabbage, rice, and side dishes are eat-all-you-can. However, one thing I noticed is that the meat is quite thin, which may be a bit unexpected. Still, the bold flavors and textures make every bite enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a meal that’s more than just satisfying, Gyukatsu Kyoto Katsugyu is a place to return to again and again.

Cheap and Tasty: Enjoy Date Night at Yappari Steak VivoCity

ABBEY: If you’re a steak lover, Yappari Steak should be on your must-visit list. Although you might encounter a long queue, trust me—it’s well worth the wait! Each order of their perfectly cooked steaks comes with unlimited servings of fresh salad, fluffy Japanese rice, and hot soup, making it an unbeatable deal.

On my first visit, I ordered the signature Yappari Steak, and on my second, I tried the Mix Cut. Both were incredibly tender, rich, and full of flavor with a smooth, milky texture. A word of caution: the hot stone they serve the steak on stays sizzling, so handle it carefully!
While the steak is delicious on its own, I highly recommend pairing it with their garlic sauce—it’s a game-changer. I enjoyed it so much that I went through four servings of rice and multiple bowls of soup!

WILL: I’ve been stopping by VivoCity a lot lately. It’s my go-to spot when I want to avoid a long walk to the MRT. But now, there’s an even better reason to make the trip. Dinner! 

Yappari Steak is always buzzing with activity, and you can expect to wait at least 15 minutes during peak hours. But trust me, it’s worth it! The beef here is amazing, perfectly balanced between tender meat and just the right amount of fat. The cooks really know their stuff—they make sure the steaks don’t overcook, even if you leave them sizzling on the hot plate a bit too long.

My favorite has to be the hamburg steak; it’s so juicy and comforting. And don’t even get me started on the mixed-cut steaks—they’re incredibly tender. One of the best parts? Yappari Steak offers all-you-can-eat rice, soup, and salad, so you can really fill up and enjoy your meal!

I can’t recommend this place enough—let’s stop gatekeeping such a gem! The prices are fantastic, with sets starting at just SGD 16.80. See you at Yappari Steak!

Prego: Casual Italian Dining in Fairmont Hotel Singapore

ABBEY: We went to Prego to have dinner with my wife’s boss. 

I got Pancetta di Maiale in Porchetta. I can still hear the crunch as I teeth sunk the skin. Wow. And the meat is so tender and bursting in flavors. For sharing we had the Prego pizza with mozzarella, mushrooms, sun-dried tomato, ham and parmesan. Of course we didn’t pass the opportunity to put a whole burrata on top of it. It was heavenly. 

We ate all the pieces. It was always a great idea to catch up in a good place with good food.

Prego: Casual Italian Dining in a Hotel Setting - Pizza with Burrata

WILL: Dining in hotel restaurants can sometimes seem intimidating for people like me. It's not just the price but also the people that might surround you. Prego, however, serves a different experience. It is as casual as restaurants you might find inside a mall—not too noisy nor too formal. It's perfect for families or friends who want a quiet place to catch up.

Since Prego is an Italian restaurant, we ordered pizza topped with burrata, carbonara, seafood pasta, tiramisu, and of course, porchetta. The porchetta was the star of the night. The crunchy skin of the pork, plus the juicy and melting fat, was simply irresistible! Mama mia!! The tiramisu, on the other hand, might not taste like the ones you've had in Italy, but it’s still worth trying.

Highly recommended! Thanks to All Accor Plus for the 50% discount! Yayyy!

🇸🇬 Chara Brasserie Buffet at Mercure ICON -- 25% Off Promotion & Must-Try Seafood and Lamb Dishes

ABBEY: Everybody is talking about Chara Braserrie and we want to know if the hype is all worth it so off we go. We arrived 15 minutes early before they open at 6PM but they ushered us to our table. Boy, good thing I’m able to capture some good clips of the food. By the time I’m done people started to queue up and next thing we know the lobsters are gone. Haha. 

I asked for the lamb but was told only to be available after an hour. It was the star of the show but wasn’t ready. I got a slice (literally) of beef short ribs and I can say it’s not that good. The meat has a chewed up texture and almost dry. Same dryness as well as almost hard for the chicken satays. The lamb somehow redeemed it with its milky taste and moisture meat; really went well with the mint sauce. 

I also had a couple servings of seabass; no need for sauce as it is juicy and flavorful. Sushi and sashimi were also available. Don’t forget to have their pickled ginger (very nice) to clean your pallete. For dessert I had chocolate tart and watermelon.

Chara Brasserie Hotel Buffet: 25% Off Promotion & Must-Try Seafood and Lamb Dishes

WILL: Are you looking for the newest hotel buffet with a great deal? Chara Brasserie offers a 25% off promotion this month!

Upon entering, you'll first encounter the dessert table, but let's skip ahead to the main attractions. Head straight to the seafood table at the back, where you can indulge in lobster and oysters. If crustaceans isn’t your thing, there’s a selection of sashimi and sushi right next to it. You’ll also find a DIY rojak station, which seems to be overlooked by most guests.

Moving on, you'll see the roasted beef, which may appear overcooked to some. The real crowd-pleaser, however, is the lamb, which always has a long queue.

The highlight of Chara Brasserie's buffet is undoubtedly the lobster and whole lamb. Without these, the buffet might not be as enticing.

We decided to try it out, especially since we had a 50% discount with our AccorPlus membership. Was it worth the hype? Yes. Would we return if already in it’s regular price? Probably not. Why? Let’s #BeReal; we are expecting a wide array of food given the price point of $78++ — not value for money. 

Make your reservation today, enjoy the feast at Chara Brasserie while there’s a promotion!

Get 60% Off Indulgent Eats at A Must-Try Yummo Chow in Bugis

ABBEY: We were able to spend some time with Chat for April celebrations at Yummo Chow (Hotel NuVe Heritage). The restaurant is not too busy when we arrived half past 12 noon. I guess we’re the only guests that time. We looked at the menu and included pork ribs on our first order but unfortunately it was not available at the moment.

We got teriyaki salmon, Australian sirloin and ribeye steaks, spam fries, french fries, mentaiko mayo prawn, and carbonara. The pastas (including our second order chilli crab) lack the flavor and got too much sauce. Our spam fries seems not to be Spam but other brand of luncheon meat but still good. I really liked the ribeye steaks, prawn, and pork satays (note that there are 5 sticks per order). 

For the drinks, the staff recommended fresh watermelon and it didn’t disappoint; not too sweet or watery. No credit card payments but Grab and PayNow is accepted.

WILL: Another year has passed, and what better way to celebrate than with delicious food on a budget, right? We decided to treat ourselves at Yummo Chow, indulging in some seriously crave-worthy dishes.

First up, we had to satisfy our fish craving, opting for both salmon and dory. Next on the list was Shrimp Tempura, because who can resist crispy, flavorful tempura? And then came the unexpected delight – pork satay! We ended up devouring 10 skewers of it, completely caught off guard by how good it was.

To balance out all the savory flavors, we were pleasantly surprised by freshly squeezed watermelon juice, offering the perfect natural sweetness. And as if that wasn't enough, they also served 1872 Clippers Tea, adding a unique touch to our meal.

Yummo Chow at Bugis definitely exceeded our expectations with their offerings. Highly recommended, especially with their current 60% off deal on the Eatigo App. Don't miss out this S$21++ deal (add: $1190 for Premium Items)!

Ralph’s Coffee: A Taste of Luxury and Connection at Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY: We planned to visit Ralph’s Coffee a couple of times and that day came. Good thing there are less people on the shop when we arrived. I got the flat white and we ordered a slice of chocolate cake. My coffee tastes the same as with other cafes but the cake is to come back for. 

Remember the Matilda Cake? The decadent, sweet-bitter, and moist cake? This is close. You can go by here while thinking what Ralph Lauren’s piece of clothing you would buy, or rest after trying them all or just casually catch up with a friend or loved ones. They do takeaways too.

Ralph’s Coffee: A Taste of Luxury and Connection at Marina Bay Sands

WILL: Nestled in the heart of Marina Bay Sands, Ralph’s Coffee flagship store offers more than just a caffeine fix—it’s an experience. And let me tell you, it’s an experience worth having! As soon as you step in, you're greeted by the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the chic ambiance that Ralph Lauren is famous for.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show—the sea salt caramel latte. At just S$8, it’s a steal! Not only does it pack the perfect punch of caffeine, but it’s also not too sweet, striking that ideal balance that keeps you coming back for more. Plus, the price is just right, comparable to your favorite coffee chains.

But what truly sets Ralph’s Coffee apart is the atmosphere. Unlike other cafes where you often see people glued to their screens or buried in books, here it's all about connection. The three tables occupied by patrons were filled with laughter and conversations, as people took the time to bond with each other—a refreshing change indeed.

In conclusion, Ralph’s Coffee is more than just a café—it’s an oasis of warmth and connection in the bustling Marina Bay Sands. If you’re looking for a unique café experience that’s a cut above the rest, I highly recommend giving it a try. Trust me, you’ll feel the difference from the moment you walk in. Cheers to many more delightful coffee dates at Ralph’s!

🇸🇬 Spago Buffet Breakfast for only S$52++: Budget-Luxury at Marina Bay Sands!

ABBEY: Lunch and dinner buffets are here and there. So why not have a breakfast buffet? We went to Level 57 of Marina Bay Sands at Spago Dining Room. And no, we’re not a hotel guest. We made reservation and we got a seat. The view is overlooking the famous infinity pool. They have buffet items which are self-serve and there are ala carte ones. No need to wave a hand to our wait staff as Juan Rey is very attentive. He even gave us a couple of Mimosas for Wilma’s natal day. 

The food in the self-serve stations are either dry, oily or not that appetizing thus we preferred to get our food from the premium items list. I liked the seafood hor fun and egg noodle with crispy pork belly (sin yuk). The nasi lemak has a good presentation but lack of umami or taste. The same goes for siew mai. However the cold-pressed ABC (Apple, Beetroot, Carrot) juice stood out. We also had buttermilk pancake that comes along with honey butter and blueberry compote. My iced americano was watered down due to the heat but it is refreshing.

🇸🇬 Spago Buffet Breakfast for only S$52++: Budget-Luxury at Marina Bay Sands!

WILL: April holds a special place in mine and Abbey's hearts, so to commemorate all its significance and to make the most of our MBS Rewards points, we opted for a lavish buffet breakfast at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, perched on the 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands.

For just S$52++/person, we indulged in delightful seafood horfun and fluffy pancakes with heavenly honey butter. The attentive staff, coupled with the breathtaking view of Singapore’s CBD skyline, truly elevated our morning experience. However, when it comes to the food selection, there wasn't anything particularly outstanding.

Will we be back? Perhaps, but mainly for their cocktails. Seek out Juan for a taste of the impeccable service we received. A big shoutout to Juan for treating us to complimentary Mimosas. Here's to more moments of joy and deliciousness! Cheers!

🇸🇬Haidilao's Buffet and BBQ Delights for only S$69.90 for 2!

ABBEY: We had the opportunity to try both Hai Di Lao’s hotpot and grill.

The hotpot is at their branch at Clarke Quay last February 14. Since it was Hearts’ Day they gave a rose to my wife. The staff that was assigned to us went for the extra mile; from arranging the meat plates, taking great pictures, as well as preparing the pot and cutting the food for us. It was a superb service. 

The same can be said at their Seletar Mall branch. We haven’t had to worry about the meat getting burnt or getting the food literally to our plates.

The meats are juicy and tender and have less gunk. I thought the set meal for the BBQ is not enough for us unlike the buffet hotpot but surprisingly it was more than enough. 

What I like is the shrimp paste, lamb and beef. Each has its own unique taste and flavor.

They go well with the dipping sauces; vinegar, soy sauce, lime and partnered with garlic, fried shallots, and seaweeds.

Both lunches ended with chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

A third visit is recommended.

🇸🇬Haidilao's Buffet and BBQ Delights for only S$69.90 for 2!

WILL: The well-known hotpot restaurant Haidilao is reinventing the wheel by now offering buffets and bbq. Abbey and I recently had the chance to try them out. While Haidilao is usually a bit pricey for us, the S$69.90 deal for two was too good to pass up.

At the Clarke Quay spot, our host Samy made us feel like VIPs. She even doubled as our photographer, capturing our day beautifully. Now, onto the food! The meat's quality blew us away; we couldn't resist piling our plates high with lamb and beef. Plus, the service matched the high standards we expect from Haidilao.

Next, we tried the BBQ at the Seletar branch. It was the first time Haidilao offered BBQ at selected branches, and we were eager to try it. The Duo Grill Set was a real treat. The staff did all the work, grilling, cutting, and serving the meat, leaving us free to enjoy every bite. The meat's marbling was superb, and the side dishes were delicious.

Overall, our experience at Haidilao was fantastic. The quality of the food and the service at both locations exceeded our expectations. It's easy to see why Haidilao has such loyal fans. We'll definitely be back for more hotpot goodness!

There is variety of foods like honey sesame chicken, kung pao chicken, basil tofu pork (which is on the spicy side), chicken curry, spaghetti bolognese as well as soup, salad and rice. However the one that stood out is the garlic butter shrimp. They’re tasty and juicy. 

We always looked out if another batch came and indulged ourselves to the seafood delight. Perfect for the two-hour timing and on to the next one. Food may differ per visit. 

Lunch Buffet Bargain at $15.90: TAP Craft Beer at Dhoby Ghaut
