Newly Renovated Newton Food Centre Hawker Stalls To Check Out in Singapore

ABBEY: My cousin wants to go where the “Crazy Rich Asians” actors filmed in Singapore. One of them is at Newton Food Centre. 

So we ordered chili crab, char kway teow and Hokkien Mee. We finished all the chili crab sauce with fluffy fried man tou. The noodles are firm and flavorful with wok hei and lard. They are all washed down with sugar cane juice. Talk about local. Haha. 


WILL: This hawker stall gained additional fame thanks to an appearance in the movie Crazy Rich Asians. Some stalls here have been awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand, and that's exactly where we decided to treat our American visitor.

Naturally, we ordered plates of Hokkien Mee and Fried Kway Teow at Newton Old Signboard 25 (#01-25), one of the renowned stalls in the Newton hawker center. And the taste? Exceptional! The chili sauce elevated the flavor of everything - simply delicious!


We couldn't allow Abbey's cousin to leave Singapore without savoring the famous Chili Crab from Alliance Seafood, another Michelin-approved stall in the Newton Hawker Center. The taste? The crab meat practically melted into the sauce, making it unnecessary to crack the shells. Freshly fried mantou buns were the perfect accompaniment to this delectable meal.


Our tummies left highly satisfied. Is this hawker a must-visit? Absolutely! It's another gem to explore, well worth a visit alongside the popular options in Chinatown.

🇸🇬Singapore Teatime Extravaganza ☕️ at L'Espresso Goodwood Park Hotel

ABBEY: We had an afternoon tea buffet at L’ Espresso (Goodwood Park Hotel). They do have scones but not the texture I expected (could have been on the flaky-crumbly side). Open and petite sandwiches were also available along with choices of cheese and dried fruits. 

We got to try local foods like chili crab, satays, spring rolls, prata with chicken curry, shrimp dimsum and siew mai. I went for multiple servings of beef from the carving station as well as their beef stew. 

Their durian crepe is a must have which is not too overpowering. And for dessert I had a plateful of truffles (dark, white, and milk) and fruits. Our supposed to be 3PM tea time was moved to 12NN. More time for us to enjoy delicious food. 


WILL: If you're searching for the best tea time buffet in Singapore, you'll undoubtedly come across Goodwood Park Hotel's offering. L’Espresso restaurant is situated in their lobby, right next to a veranda with a lovely view of greenery. The furnishings are so inviting that you'll feel as if you're visiting a friend's house, invited for a coffee or tea and sharing laughter.

Now, how was the food? It was superb. They offer steamed dim sum, chili crab with mantou, croissants, an array of cheeses and crackers, and delightful macarons and chocolate truffles! I was somewhat disappointed with the texture of their scones, which didn't quite measure up to those served in other hotel restaurants.


I recommend giving it a try, although it's not an absolute must-visit. However, this is one of the more affordable tea time buffets you can find here in Singapore.

🇸🇬ATLAS Bar's: A Glimpse into Award Winning Excellence | World's Best Bar & Top 10 Bas in Asia

ABBEY: There are multiple instances we planned to go to Atlas Bar but didn’t happen. “At-las” we’re able to dine in there as walk-ins when my cousin visited us in Singapore.

After a 45-minute wait we had our table. I got the spaghetti. It was divine. The bisque is not too sweet nor sour. Perfect with the cherry tomatoes, zucchini, basil, chili and prawn. From the bar I had the ATLAS espresso martini. It has cream which makes it frothy. Thumbs up for the coffee and vodka combination. 



WILL: Atlas Bar is one of the best bars in Asia, and it's no wonder why Westworld shot some of their scenes here. The intricate architecture showcases glistening marble and brass designs, making it feel as if you've been transported to another era. Oh, don't forget to book two months in advance or brace yourself for a walk-in queue as they are in high demand.

They wouldn't have earned recognition as one of the World's Best Bars if their food was subpar, right? Well, their lunch menu won't disappoint. The menu selection is extensive, offering everything from pork to beef to pasta. I ordered the pork, and the meat was tender, while the mashed potato was the best I've ever had. Haha. The price point is quite reasonable for a well-known restaurant.

This place is especially recommended for tourists who appreciate design, architecture, and a bit of midday indulgence in boozy beverages. Haha!

Fun Toast - Welcoming Family Cafe in Singapore

ABBEY: We’ve been here multiple times and I can say that it is one of our go to places for caffeine fix before grocery or after a meal. I got kopi and sometimes their kaya toast set. 

They also have other hot meals like laksa, mee siam, yong tau foo, chee cheong fun and siew mai. Specialty teas include honey lemon, honey lime and gula melaka.

WILL: It is fun in Fun Toast. Haha! Well, if you want an air-conditioned cafe that serves delicious kopi or yuan yang, you can definitely head to Fun Toast. 

This is our go-to cafe every after our weekly grocery. Coffee is cheap, the cafe is clean and relaxing due to their white interiors, and the staffs are friendly. 

I totally recommend this for tourists who wants to experience a local cafe here in Singapore.

Embark on a Flavorful Adventure with Konyo's "Kamayan sa Bukid in Singapore" Buffet!

ABBEY: Imagine going to a province and it’s fiesta. And you can eat as many times as you can. That’s the vibe at Konyo brunch. For SGD 19.9 we enjoyed the lunch platter which includes crackling bagnet, chicken-pork adobo, lumpiang shanghai, pancit canton, tilapia, rice, kangkong, talong and okra. Pair them with kamatis-sibuyas ensalada, spiced toyo-mansi and vinegar and bagoong and you’re set. 

We opted selected items only for our second and third servings as we can’t finish another platter. Our Pinoy food cravings were satisfied. We even have kwentuhan (chitchat) with the staff. 

Wash them all down with bulalo soup. Wow!

WILL: Another month, another buffet. And to celebrate another milestone (Chat’s 15th anniversary in Singapore) we opted to try the pretty infamous Filipino buffet situated in Orchard. Ahmm yes, you have read it right, it is infamous due to some reviews we read in their facebook page. S$19.90 for 4-hour buffet, we braved to try and see for ourselves if the bad reviews are true. Here we go… 

Konyo is a bar and only offers lunch every Saturday and Sunday. And we were surprised that their restaurant was not well lit for lunchtime, therefore we requested to move to a table with a good light. Our first platter came pretty fast. Everything tastes good and acceptably oily. Haha. My favourite is their fried tilapia and pork bagnet! Truly perfect for a steaming hot rice! Second order came like a little late and it seems that one of the waiters forgot that we requested food. 

We would like to commend Erika for her warm service and we will surely comeback for another affordable and tummy filling buffet.

Experience the Weekday Buffet at Yum Cha: A Dim Sum Delight in Changi Singapore!

ABBEY: Dumpling craving hit us again so we booked a table at Yum Cha Changi for dumpling buffet. The ambiance is like an old Chinese restaurant; quartz tables with wooden chairs. 

We immediately ordered a serving of roasted pork, pork ribs with garlic, siew mai, and prawn dumpling. In addition to that we also had mushroom dumplings, shrimp beancurd roll and fresh prawn rice flour roll. 

We ate to our hearts’ content. It was great experience as the staff keeps on delivering our food to almost no delays. Just keep eating. 

Weekday Buffet at Yum Cha
Weekday Buffet at Yum Cha

WILL: Eyeing for this dimsum buffet since pre-covid era. They are significantly located at Changi IT District and their signage is prominently inviting for everyone. But Abbey’s office was relocated at Penang and my desire to dine in Yum Cha faded. But the power of social media emerged and the cravings resurfaced and I booked it for monthly date with Abbey. 

So how was it? I want to applaud the people of Yum Cha Changi. The restaurant vibes like a home. Very welcoming and the waitresses make it sure that we are not waiting too long for our food nor drinks. You shouldn’t miss the Crystal Chives Dumpling and Yum Cha Prawn Dumpling.

This is so worth it. Very recommended!

Embark on a Flavorful Journey with Singalicious BBQ Buffet at The Orchard Cafe! 🇸🇬🤤 Up to 58% Off 2nd Diner!

ABBEY: As we celebrate Singapore National Day, we headed down to Orchard Cafe at Orchard Hotel where a Singalicious buffet awaits us. 

So much of local foods to indulge. I had multiple servings of pork and chicken satays, roasted pork and beef, shrimp, steamed chicken, tandoori chicken, briyani rice, carrot cake, kueh pie tees, ondeh ondeh cake and durian pengat. It was a feast of flavors; savory, sweet, salty, and spicy. I kept coming back for more. 


WILL: Orcard Cafe is in Orchard Hotel. Obviously right? Haha! Every month of August most of restaurants here in Singapore is offering the local cuisines, and well that is our cue to indulge endlessly with Singapore delightful food! 

I specifically chose Orchard Cafe to indulge with their famous Durian Penget. And every table, you will definitely see not only one but more than 2 penget per person. The chef keeps on refilling the station of this delectable dessert. 

Next food to tick off is Chili Crab with fried Mantou. Again, it ia delicious but it is a bit messy for me to eat. I indulged too with their pork satay partnered with rice and washed it fown with a hot tea. 

This is definitely worth it. They are continuously giving promotions for every second diner, so just watch out for their next dining deals!

Chateraise Japanese Confectionery Cafe in Singapore

ABBEY: Next thing we knew, Chateraise shops are popping up. We headed to their cafe at Compass One and enjoyed their decadent Double Fantasy and Dorayaki. The cream is smooth and not to sweet as well as the read bean. And we washed them all down with a cup of velvety coffee and matcha.

WILL: Some Chateraise offers a seat down cafe. I saw some of it at Punggol Waterway and CompossOne. Since it offers my favourite Doroyaki and Double Fantasy, I definitely asked Abbey for us to try their hot drinks. 

My go-to is their hot Matcha. If you already went to Japan, you can tell that ingredients is definitely a Japanese standard. Hot drinks + cream puff + non-stop throwing ideas with husband = perfect date! 

 If you are pretty bored of other cafes? Visit Chateraise Cafe, cheap pastries and drinks but with a quality!

Don Lechon at Paya Lebar - Authentic Filipino Lechon (Roasted Suckling Pig)

ABBEY: We’ve been craving lechon for a long time so we headed to Don Lechon (Grandlink Square). We got an order of chopped lechon and lechon sisig each. Literally after a couple of minutes they’re already in our table. 

How did it fare? It was great. It seems we were in Pinas. The pork is tender and went well with the sweet sauce. And sisig has crunchy bits, creamy and tangy. Craving. Satisfied! Until next time.

WILL: Lechon is the highlight of every occasion in the Philippines and that is the reason why on a month long celebration of my birthday, I requested Abbey to have a dinner in Don Lechon. Yeyyy! 

You may tell that they are on a pricey side for a rice meal but their lechon serving is generous! You could ask for another rice for it. Haha. Delightfuly good! There’s a good proportion of fat and meat, the soy sauce with kalamansi dip is perfect! Delicious!!! 

Recommended and will truly coming back to Don Lechon. Yummmy!!

Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington at Bread Street Kitchen Singapore

ABBEY: There’s only one item we want from Bread Street Kitchen: Beef Wellington. The item is right at the center of the menu. You definitely can’t miss it. 

We ordered it immediately as we sat down as the waiting time is 45 minutes minimum. While waiting, we got ourselves a huge serving of fries. Then the golden brown log of beef arrived. 

We paced as we eat and savor the beef. It was tender and juicy. Worth the wait and highly recommended. Cost: SGD168++.

WILL: I have tasted this dish when we were invited over by Abbey’s Boss for a dinner. As a fan of breads and pastries I somewhat got curious how the tagged as the best beef Wellington tasted. So on my birthday, being spontaneous, we walked-in at Bread Street Kitchen and ordered the famous dish. 

We waited for almost an hour (yep they warned us) and while waiting we are nibbling on the fries that is perfectly paired with their tomato ketchup. So the main dish arrived and it is pretty huge for me and Abbey. The taste? Divine! Meat is tender and even it is medium cooked, you can’t smell not taste blood from the meat or pastry. The pastry is flaky, such a nice pair with the meat! 

Oh yeah, even it is huge size, Abbey and I manage to eat it all. Haha-happy tummy! Will surely come back for more beef Wellington!

Hidden Gem of Sentosa Singapore - Tanjong Beach Club

ABBEY: I became curious what Tanjong Beach Club offers when we passed by it as we stroll along the beach. Wilma booked for a cabana-style outside bed in front of the pool for S$100(10am to 2pm). But we didn’t pass up the chance to get our Vitamin “sea”. 

Few moments after we were back at the pool enjoying our truffle fries, calamari, sourdough bread, sautéed mushrooms, smoked salmon, and pork sausage. It was a feast under the sun. And speaking of sun, we beat the heat with a pitcher of sangria and free flow of sparkling water. Perfect time to catch up.




WILL: It is my 40th birthday and all I want is to tick off some of my to-do or wishes on my birthday month. One of those is to swim in Sentosa Island and experience to book a pool bed in Tanjong Beach Club. Lame? Well, cares? I am too old to care! Haha! 

 We were at Tanjong Beach Club earlier than the staffs. Excited? Yes! Of all beach club in Sentosa? Why this? Well… 
1. It is pretty far from the buzz of other stalls. Secluded means more pacifying aura. Adulting here! Haha. 
 2. I like the sand and water of the Tanjong Beach. 
 3. I only have 2 reasons. Haha. 

Thus it met my expectations? Yes. Food is fulfilling and price is reasonable. The vibe of staffs were uplifting that makes the crowd jolly! The shower room in front of the club is clean and tidy! Totally recommendable for people who wants to relax and fill up their need of Vitamin D! 

See you there!

Luckin coffee, the "Starbucks of China" -- HIGH QUALITY ARABICA BEANS

ABBEY: They say Luckin Coffee is China’s version of Starbucks. It’s offering SGD 0.99 for your first cup of coffee. And it comes with other vouchers from 50% up to 40% off on your cups. Referring a friend will give you another 99-cent coffee.

I tried Vanilla Flavored Creamy Latte. It was smooth, hot, sweet and right amount of bitterness. The same goes to Coconut Velvet Latte and Dark Brown Sugar Velvet Latte. They differ in the type of sweetener.
I also had their Single Origin Espresso (SOE) series Yirgacheffe and Hambella in flat white without added syrup. 

Order via the app and have it delivered or pick up. Never had to wait for a long time to get my order.
Try their coffee offerings as alternative for your usual cups.

WILL: Can I say that Abbey is coffee addict? Yep! Not enthusiast but he is totally addicted to it. Haha! So whenever there’s a new cafe or coffee concoction that pops, he dearly needs to try it. And of course, one of that is Luckin’ Coffee. 

I am thrilled to know that they infused coconut into their drink which I will tell you that they perfectly done it. Not overly sweet! Creaminess is superb. 

Top it all, they have a S$0.99 promo in your first purchase! Good coffee with a good deal. Kudos Luckin’ Coffee.

Discover the Best Ready-to-Eat Gourmet Meals and Desserts from Melvados, a Unique Singaporean Brand

ABBEY: Last Christmas we have the reason to eat more ice cream than the usual. Hahaha.

We got a couple of pints from Melvados: Salty Caramel and Almond and Triple Chocolate. It is on the pricey side this we  got this indulgence in a holiday season.

The ice cream is soft and easy to scoop right from the freezer. No fight between your spoon and the frozen delight. They are creamy and smooth and really taste good. Not your ordinary ice cream. You can taste its premiumness.

Discover the Best Ready-to-Eat Gourmet Meals and Desserts from Melvados, a Unique Singaporean Brand


WILL: Melvados, a Singaporean brand that has been in operation for almost a decade, offers ready-to-eat gourmet meals and desserts at a wholesale price, making it a sought-after "Made in Singapore" item. With over 90% of the food supply sourced from outside the country, Melvados is a unique find in the market. The brand is also associated with a parent company that supplies products to 5-star restaurants and airlines.

As an SEO expert, I am impressed by the taste of Melvados' Salted Caramel and Triple Chocolate ice cream. These premium desserts are delicious, creamy, and comparable to international brands.

If you're looking for a unique gift idea, consider Melvados as a festive treat for your loved ones. Not only are the products made with passion, but they also offer a unique Singaporean experience that's sure to delight anyone.

Counter Seating Kaunta Seki at Mitsuba Japanese Cheap Buffet - The Central Clarke Quay

ABBEY: As Christmas is nearing, me, Wilma and Chat planned our buffet Christmas dinner at Mitsuba.

And we got the best seat in the house; a bar seat (in front of the chef). We didn’t waste a minute and we immediately ordered via iPad all the Chef’s Choice items like Sashimi Moriawase (the swordfish is so tender), Sake Mentai Aburi, Ikura Sushi, Spider Temaki, and Wagyu Bifu Maki. My repeat orders are roast pork belly (yaki buta), ebi tempura, smoked duck (oh the layer of fat melts in your mouth), and Meltique Bifu (beef slice with garlic and salt). They also have ice cream; chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and lychee flavors.

There are hundreds of choices so be sure to keep the orders coming but in moderation. I can say that we’ll definitely be back to this restaurant.



WILL: Mitsuba is one of the renowned sushi buffet here in Singapore. If you’ll check the online reviews and the long queue outside their restaurant, you’ll be curious and persuaded to check and book a table with them. And I am one of the proud victim of my own curiosity. Haha. I purposely indicated that we want to be sitting in front of the chefs, and we were granted with our request. What is the pero of that? You can see them do their masterpieces and your order is super fast that they will just hand it out to you. No to a long waiting time. 

So how was it? I have told to Abbey, that is is a bank for the buck! The price of $56.90++ is totally worth it. We’ll be saving our 2 dinner trips in a sushi conveyor belts to eat here in Mitsuba. What you should not skip (sashimis are given) Spider and Unaki Temaki, Dobinmushi, the crunchy and melt in your mouth Yaki Buta, Ika Geso and Salmon Skin. 

Will surely coming back here and of course still requesting Mitsuba for counter seating. See you there!

HUBER’S BUTCHERY THE BISTRO: CHEAP WITH A QUALITY STEAK IN SINGAPORE

ABBEY: Another restaurant to satisfy your steak cravings but not break the bank. I got medium-well hanger steak with sides of potato tartiflette (premium version of potato with cheese), corn and chimichurri sauce. 

My beef is tender and juicy; no tough part. And the corn kernels almost fall off the cob. As for the potato, it is blanketed by melted gruyere cheese. Adjacent to the restaurant is their butchery. Pick your choices of meat and take them home.

HUBER’S BUTCHERY THE BISTRO: CHEAP WITH A QUALITY STEAK IN SINGAPORE


WILL: Steak is one of the intimidating foods to eat. There are rules on how to cook the meat itself and etiquettes to follow while eating in a steakhouse. Well, that breaks your comfort zone if you are always prompted to dine in a fast food chain. Right? But here comes Huber’s Bistro located few steps away from Singapore Botanic Gardens. 

The Bistro's aura is friendly and accommodating. Not too casual but not too fancy either. It is like a diner ambiance that staffs are willing to go beyond to serve you and know you better. So how’s the steak? It is flavourful and definitely not came from a frozen meat. It is tender, milky and juicy! The price? Starts at $24! It is like you are buying a raw meat of 200grams. 

They have their own butchery that might explain their affordable pricing for the steaks. Ha! This is our favourite place for steaks right now! Visit them whenever you are Singapore Botanic Gardens

ALL YOU CAN EAT Italian Burrata, Mozzarella with Truffles and Porchetta | Luxury Buffet in Singapore

ABBEY: We have a mission coming to this restaurant at Regent Hotel. Basilico offers a buffet of cheese. And not just cheese; we’re talking of burrata, fresh mozzarella and with truffle. And they didn’t disappoint even though the burrata is not that gooey or runny. But still they’re creamy, bouncy and delicious. I ate them with artichoke, cherry tomatoes and asparagus.

Along with that they also have pecorino, piemonte and asiago cheese as well as cold cuts like mortadella and salami and salad.
For hot food we got porchetta, honey glazed chicken, baked salmon, grilled chicken and beef stew. Pasta like pesto, spaghetti with squid ink and beef lasagna are also available.

And to wrap we have a couple scoops of vanilla and chocolate gelato and pralines. 

WILL: We watched a travel show that showcased how an Italian farm makes burrata cheese and it hit us hugely that we went out to look in Singapore and we found a restaurant specialising in fresh burrata every day. Sadly, they didn’t survive the pandemic era. Gladly, we found another restaurant.

Basilico in Regent Hotel serves not only burrata but an array of delectable cheese! We were there for cheese so once we got our seats, we straight away took cheese, meats, cracker and nuts. Yep! We made ourselves a charcuterie in an instant. Wine please! Haha! We stayed a little bit longer than everyone (as usual) because I want to settle down the main courses in my stomach for desserts but is is a shocker when they serve porchetta. Of course I took some of those! Don’t forget to taste their vanilla gelato and praline. 

Very recommendable for Italian cusine buffs. You might strike a conversation too with their Italian Chefs.
