Gastronomes can tuck in to a wonderfully enticing truffle vintage champagne brunch buffet at The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore on Sundays. Served at the Greenhouse restaurant, the felicitous commingling of champagne, truffle and brunch classics will elevate your senses. The restaurant has clearly got the luxe formula down as the brunch attracts an upscale, well-heeled clientèle (we spot mostly expatriates and few locals).

Buffet hunters that are constantly on the prowl for reasonably priced all-you-can-eat spreads should have M Hotel in their address book by now. The business hotel in the central business district of Singapore is home to at least two restaurants – Café 2000 and The Buffet – that dish up a variety of buffets for both lunch and dinner. The Tunch buffet at Café 2000 is a tasty combo of […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/m-hotel-buffet/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/fish-co-new-orleans-cajun-platter/ https://sparklette.net/food/fish-co-new-orleans-cajun-platter/#respond Fri, 26 Jul 2013 06:25:32 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1499

One of my favourite places to enjoy casual seafood is Fish & Co.. Personally, I find their cheese-filled Swiss fish and chips to be the best in town (though so far nothing quite trumps the version at The Offshore in Bangkok). During the holy month of Ramadan, the restaurant chain has introduced a special New Orleans Cajun Platter for our Muslim friends when they are breaking fast. I tried out […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/fish-co-new-orleans-cajun-platter/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/food/marina-bay-sands-mooncakes/ https://sparklette.net/food/marina-bay-sands-mooncakes/#comments Mon, 22 Jul 2013 06:41:35 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1498

Before visiting Taipei, I had long heard of the Hello Kitty Sweets Cafe in the city. This cute café is licensed by Sanrio, and sells Hello Kitty-themed food. As a kitty fan girl, it was one of the must-go places in Taipei. Welcome to the Hello Kitty Sweets Cafe! Getting to the Hello Kitty Sweets Cafe is relatively easy. The nearest metro station is Zhongxiao Fuxing Station.

When a sudden food craving hits, it’s usually almost impossible to resist. And that’s what happened recently when I had an insatiable urge to indulge in some spicy tomato mussels. Sea-facing restaurant The Mussel Guys at VivoCity seemed the natural choice. Truth be told, my first dining experience at The Mussel Guys a few years back left me wanting. Their watered down version of mussel pasta was abysmal and I […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/the-mussel-guys/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/food/the-rotisserie/ https://sparklette.net/food/the-rotisserie/#respond Tue, 28 Aug 2012 07:42:42 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1364

Does moist and delicious fresh-off-the-spit chicken sound like your thing? If so, you need not look any further than The Rotisserie.

I recently took part in a mini contest by The Garden Slug… and won! Yes, even as we hold regular giveaways here on Sparklette, I occasionally join in a contest or two myself on other sites.

Tinge of Blue is a café and bar that is not easily discovered, hidden away at SAFRA Mount Faber in Singapore. It strikes an appealingly casual chord with its location right by the club swimming pool.

The Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations Centre, along Waterloo Street, is definitely an unexpected location for this gem of a restaurant. The unpretentious Torte, started by executive chef Jason Ong – professional photographer and landscape designer by training – was originally a dessert-oriented concept. Upon hearing customer requests, the menu was eventually expanded to include a selection of fusion and western cuisines with a gourmet slant.

Popular retro-themed hotel, Hotel Re!, recently revamped its menu at flagship restaurant, Re!Fill. In place of the previous set meals is a much wider selection of international dishes including pastas, burgers, Asian and western dishes, local delights and desserts.
