Pie Face, a leading micro-bakery cafe from Australia, has finally opened its first store in Singapore at 313@Somerset! This cafe is famous not only for having cute expressions on its pies, it is also renowned for baking all its gourmet pies from scratch.
You can never miss the brightly lit exterior and all the delightful and charming faces on its wall!
Toast Box celebrated its 100th store yesterday at Shaw House! What a milestone! From a single local store selling traditional Nanyang Kopi, it has come a long way and has now expanded to countries like China, Hong Kong and Thailand.
No glamour shots here! On a side note, I am so glad to finally get a picture of the three of us (Lirong and Vivienne) after so many events together!
And now… back to the food!
There is a gem at Tanjong Pagar and it is going to be a huge hit with the office crowd during lunch time! This place caters to health-conscious and active employees who take on a holistic and healthy eating habit.
Foodology Fresh is located in The URA Centre, which is alongside the Central Business District. It is great for takeaway or a sit down meal. The revamped menu promises healthy and tasty meals at affordable prices.
You will find a wide variety of choices from vegetarian to sugar-free, lactose-free, gluten-free to no trans fat!
While Eggs & Berries is not exactly a new restaurant in Singapore, I had never made a trip there prior to this because the reviews from my foodie friends were not very positive. However, I received an invite, so I thought ‘why not?’.
We were there to try ‘The Heavenly Four’ buns–Smoked Paprika & Beetroot (pink), Turmeric Curry (yellow), Spinach Pesto (green) and Charcoal Squid Ink (black). The colour of the buns are natural and take on the colour of the individual flavour.
The interior is brightly lit and filled with colourful chairs. In fact, the lights were so blazing that my pictures were mostly blown-out.
I ordered the Green Mountain Bee ($6.50) while waiting for the others to arrive. This avocado, bee pollen and vanilla smoothie came highly recommended. What was interesting was that there was no accompaniment of gula melaka (which is quite common in Singapore), so all you can taste is the natural creaminess and sweetness of the avocado.
The burgers were as vibrant as the interior of the restaurant. The chef made the pairing for us, but you can choose to pair one of the buns with one of the four types of patties: beef, lamb, pork or chicken.
Did you know that Market Place at Raffles City has gone through a revamp? It is now more spacious and luminous! Besides that, they have also included new sections like ‘Food of the World’ and ‘Food to Go’. Each section is now clearly labelled with huge signages so you can find your items easily!
The moment you walk into the supermarket you cannot help but notice the range of fruits they have there. Other than the usual tropical fruits, they also bring in seasonal ones like these melons from Hokkaido.
It was a pleasure to come home and receive a surprise gift bag from Made by Lauren Jasmine, a cosy shophouse on Amoy Street and it is a one stop shop where you can purchase items from their label as well as eat and drink.
The huge paper bag contained a mystery white box with a note on top, a pretty box of solid perfume and a bottle of brewed Ethiopia blend coffee.
If you have been following my Instagram (@qiuuing), you will know that I had been very busy hopping from one restaurant to the next the whole of last week because it was Restaurant Week here in Singapore. This is definitely my favourite time of the year as it is an excuse for me to try as many restaurants as possible!
Here are the restaurants I have tried this time around:
1. Gaia Ristorante & Bar
The thing that really impresses me about Gaia is their awesome service. They are very accommodating and the staff is extremely attentive. I must admit that for the both times I have visited Gaia, the main courses did not blow me away. However, it still remains one of my favourite restaurants to go to because of its ambiance. In addition, their appetisers and desserts are well executed, and they do take care with their presentation.
