If you enjoy a vast variety of delicious options for dim sum, Ban Heng Pavilion Restaurant is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.

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.

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/contest/hotel-re-buffet-giveaway/ https://sparklette.net/contest/hotel-re-buffet-giveaway/#comments Mon, 10 Dec 2012 06:19:53 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1410

I realise that we have never really reviewed food delivery services here except for the occasional cupcakes and tea.

Saizeriya Ristorante E Caffe is one of those dining establishments that I feel a little guilty to be sharing. For one, if you are looking for great food, you probably won’t find it here.

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.
