Review: Ippudo, Singapore.
It’s been 7 years since I last went to Japan. And it’s been 7 long years of the hunt for good ramen outside of Japan. In the recent months, people have been ooh-ing and aah-ing, not to mention drooling over the newly opened Ippudo in Mandarin Gallery, Singapore that was famous for its ramen. So [...]

3 June 2010
I heard about Tempura Hajime a few years ago when a friend mentioned her desire to have her birthday dinner there. Unfortunately I didn’t pay much attention as the price range was way beyond my capabilities during my student days. A few years on, and I’ve clean forgotten about the restaurant, until Joyce from [...]

31 May 2010
I’m not that great at baking, let’s face it. Baking requires a precision and patience that I can’t seem to get my head around at the best of times. I do get urges to bake, and I can master your typical sponge cakes, but anything fancy and technique heavy is usually an instant no-no. But when [...]

29 May 2010
For April, Sefie Eats brought Croquettes and Onigiri to the table. Oh yum. I can tell you right now that those were the best potato croquettes I’ve ever eaten. The crumbly goodness and the rich potato inside was just too good to be true. I’ve eaten quite a number of croquettes in different places, but these [...]

28 May 2010
I know, I’m late with the whole reporting thing again. Shush. April’s Cook Off theme was Japanese which is a theme very dear to my heart. I love Japan, and anything Japanese. But really it’s not the anime or the manga or the cute girls that attract me, but rather the food, the history, the culture. [...]

26 May 2010
The hunt for good ramen never stops. It may cease momentarily while the stomach and tongue is off hunting down some other delicacy, but at the back of the mind there’s always this niggling crave for ramen. Why the obsession? It all began during my month-long stay in Japan many years ago where my host family [...]

13 April 2010
A friend pointed this out to me one day, saying that it was pretty good Japanese food that was cheap too. Cheap and Japanese food in the same sentence? I’m so there. Simple decor, with a simple menu. Looking around, I was given the impression that this particular outlet (since I can’t really speak for the [...]

7 March 2010
You might remember that I raved about Ibuki awhile ago here. Since then, Ibuki has moved from its Bentleigh East location to the CBD. Opening up not one, but two different branches in the city. And like a good food blogger, I booked myself (and some friends) a table at the brand new Ibuki [...]
