umisushi, known for its Japanese quick service foods in Singapore, is presenting a range of Chinese New Year dishes with a little touch of Japanese this festive occasion. The great news is that you can conveniently place your order online and have these goodies delivered right to your doorstep over the holidays. We tried out the home delivery service on a Friday evening.

McDonald’s Singapore has revived the crowd favourite Samurai beef burger. Dipped in teriyaki sauce, the Samurai burger has remained my all-time favourite McDonald’s burger ever since tasting it years ago! (Until I get to try the McLobster, that is.) The Samurai beef burger is available in two options: regular with a single beef patty and the Double, which has two beef patties for those who want twice the oomph. Samurai […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/mcdonalds-samurai-beef-burger/feed/ 2 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. With various outlets located in the heart of the Singapore central business district, this no-fuss eatery serves up freshly roasted chicken, salads and other hearty meals. I hear they do good coffee too!

For the past month, my family and I have been using DEALivery.sg to order food delivery weekly. It really saves us the hassle of cooking or going out for a meal and allows us to dine in the comfort of our home! And now, the good news is: more food merchants have been added to the mix! These include popular American seafood chain Long John Silver’s and local western hottie […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/long-john-silvers/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/hui-wei/ https://sparklette.net/food/hui-wei/#comments Tue, 01 May 2012 05:28:01 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1332

Some friends have been seeking recommendations on food delivery services in Singapore. Happily, I just discovered DEALivery.sg, where you can order your food online from several restaurants and have it delivered right to your doorstep. The cuisines span a wide range, including Asian, Mediterranean, European and Halal. My family and I decided to try out the service this past Sunday. The dining establishment we picked was Hui Wei, a Thai-Chinese […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/hui-wei/feed/ 3 https://sparklette.net/food/thai-to-go/ https://sparklette.net/food/thai-to-go/#comments Mon, 19 Mar 2012 04:29:09 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1319

I realise that we have never really reviewed food delivery services here except for the occasional cupcakes and tea. Recently, my whole family got together for a casual meal and we decided to order in. The food delivery we chose was Thai to Go. It’s our first time trying out this Thai food delivery service. The 6 dishes we ordered arrived within 90 minutes, piping hot and ready to be […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/thai-to-go/feed/ 10 https://sparklette.net/food/emicakes-eggless-cakes/ https://sparklette.net/food/emicakes-eggless-cakes/#comments Mon, 19 Sep 2011 09:09:59 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1222

Now “eggless” is usually synonymous with less-than-delicious cakes, but this time, Emicakes‘ range of eggless cakes blew us all away. The eggless cakes are made from the egg substitute whey protein, said to be suitable for certain vegetarians. Even for a non-vegetarian like myself, I really enjoy these conveniently packed cake cubes and can hardly tell them apart from regular cakes.

By now, everyone in Singapore (and their pets too) must have heard of the new McDonald’s Chicken McGrill burger. Launched on March 1, it is almost impossible to miss the massive marketing campaign that runs with the line “Make it Better, Make it Chicken McGrill” on TV, newspapers, and the internet. The fast food giant has even introduced an enticing limited period 1 for 1 offer that has spread virally […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/mcdonalds-chicken-mcgrill/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-mandarin-orange-egg-tarts/ https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-mandarin-orange-egg-tarts/#comments Sun, 16 Jan 2011 03:00:05 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1061

I’m a big fan of the KFC egg tarts. Even so, I can’t help but baulk when I read about what new ingredient the fast food company has added to these egg tarts for Chinese New Year. Mandarin orange! Now that’s an odd pairing. Gimmick or not, I know I have to try it. It’s not everyday you get to taste Mandarin orange egg tarts. With a quiet determination, I […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-mandarin-orange-egg-tarts/feed/ 11 https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-egg-tarts/ https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-egg-tarts/#comments Sat, 11 Sep 2010 08:05:28 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1006

When I first heard about the KFC Portuguese egg tarts, I was quite skeptical. Skeptical, but curious enough to buy a half dozen of these to try out. Surprisingly, the tarts turn out much better than expected! These creamy egg tart pastries are not to be confused with the traditional egg tarts which have a crumbly crust and an even yellow custard top. For Portuguese egg tarts, brown burn spots […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/kfc-egg-tarts/feed/ 16 https://sparklette.net/food/emicakes-mooncakes/ https://sparklette.net/food/emicakes-mooncakes/#comments Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:10:19 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1003

When people talk about Emicakes, they will usually wax lyrical about the delicious durian puffs, cakes and crepes. This local bakery chain is all about the durian baby! This Mid-Autumn Festival, the bakery has been churning out its own mooncake creations. We’re talking irresistible flavours such as chocolate, mango, and of course, the D24 durian mooncake. Durian fans, this one may just send you to the moon! D24 durian mooncake […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/emicakes-mooncakes/feed/ 5
