Shake Shack at Vivocity: Waterfront Views and Sugee Concrete!

Shake Shack's fifth outlet in Singapore opened 1 Dec 2020 at Vivocity. I came back a couple more times because this is one of the nicest locations they have. They sure are expanding quickly but I think they have what it takes to tackle the insatiable demand for good burgers here.

Tempura Tendon Tenya in Singapore Has Great Udon!

I was absolutely thrilled when news broke that my favourite casual food chain in Japan was coming to Singapore. Tempura Tendon Tenya or Tenya for short, has more than a few times comforted me on cold nights in Tokyo and I could always rely on consistent quality, hearty portions and value-for-money meals.

OverlyCheezy Pizza Delivery in Singapore

OverlyCheezy.com brings something different to the delivery pizza scene in Singapore: a fusion of Italian, Japanese, French, with a local twist. They've even come up with "milk doughs" - in creamy tomato and creamy avocado (+$6 surcharge). Blended into the doughs are five cheeses: gruyere, cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan and emmental. Yes, you can never have too much cheese in and on a pizza. 

The Trufflelicious Wild Mushroom (above) on creamy avocado dough was a real treat. Creamy white truffle sauce, butter sauteed mushrooms (shiitake, king oyster and shimeji), parsley smothered in cheese on a pillowy crust that's just nicely crisp on the edges.  This was really good for a delivery pizza. 



OverlyCheezy

I love their design - cute and perky aesthetics with that bright cheery yellow! Prices are fairly reasonable although the surcharges can add up. Still, the pizzas are way more satisfying than regular chain ones. 




OverlyCheezy

Their Dancing Katsuobushi with Beef features teriyaki sauce, mayo, Japanese-style marinated beef, bonito flakes, seaweed strips and parsley flakes. We had this on the regular dough which is a bit more dry and brittle compared to the creamy ones with milk.


 
OverlyCheezy
Salted egg yolk fries that are sure to please most people, especially kids. 


 
OverlyCheezy
A surprisingly delicious Chocolate Lava cake. It's small but oh so moreish. 


 

Meanwhile, the team is hard at work, coming up with new flavours! 

 
OCmentai

Mentaiko Ocean pizza with prawns and crabstick.



OCduck

Peking duck with smoked duck and hoisin sauce.



OverlyCheezy
Their store is located in Hougang. Block 311, Hougang Ave 5, #01-189, Singapore 530311. You can call them at +65 6245-4922.


Many thanks for OverlyCheezy for the treat!

Baci Baci: Authentic and Cosy Italian Restaurant in Serangoon Gardens

Baci Baci Italian Restaurant Tucked away in a quiet lane in Serangoon Gardens is a hidden gem of an Italian Restaurant. Baci Baci (meaning "kisses" in Italian) has been popular with the residents who love its relaxing and romantic atmosphere that reminds you of eateries in Italy. And of course, they come for the food - Baci Baci brings in ingredients from Italy (cured meats, cheeses, olives, tomatoes, etc) where it matters most in order to replicate the Italian experience.

GoroGoro Steamboat Buffet at Tampines 1 and Centrepoint

Are you always on the lookout for a good steamboat buffet? For me, the ingredients have to be fresh and good, or else it won't be worth eating, no matter how cheap it is. Fortunately, GoroGoro is one place that delivers very decent all-you-can-eat steamboat at affordable prices. We went to the one at Tampines 1. Their Centrepoint outlet is re-opening soon on 11 Nov 2020.

GoroGoro offers seven choices of soup bases, including Beauty Collagen, Fiery Mala, Tomato and Singapore's popular Pepper Bakuteh. The buffet comes with free-flow drinks and Korean & local favourite cooked dishes, such as Korean chicken wings, mala xiang guo and yam paste dessert!

The name is not actually Japanese or Korean, but an onomatopoeia, a word that mimics a sound. In this case, it's a rumbly tummy or the roiling boil of a good steamboat going. I have known both to happen at the same time! Haha.

Sigmund Home Ergo Foam Tencel Pillow Review


I was recently looking for pillows as my kids outgrew theirs and started "borrowing" mine, which are newer and bigger. So then the universe sent me these: Ergo Foam Tencel Pillows from Sigmund Home, a purveyor of quality, orthopaedic approved mattresses and pillows with same-day delivery.

At first, the pillow looked quite ordinary with gentle slopes less dramatic than some of the memory foam pillows on the market. However, once I laid my head down on them...oh my gosh. It's like the pillow magically aligns my neck and head to the best possible position. Let me go and do that right now; I love that sensation.

[several minutes later...]

OK, I'm back. The website described these pillows as "fluffy and soft as a cloud but as supportive as a loved one" - aww! But it's close. Your head feels like it's suspended on air and yet firmly supported. 

I tested the pillow for two weeks. What I found:
1) I fall asleep faster.
2) I sleep right through.

Prior to these pillows, I would sometimes take forever to fall asleep, and would often find myself awake at odd hours (sometimes not being able to sleep again), or I'd rouse a few times a night. Disrupted sleep is terrible.  

Now I don't know if the pillows really caused these better sleep patterns, or whether I've just been more exhausted lately. But they sure are more sleep-friendly than even my most comfy pillows. Look at how the medium-firm material bounces right back.




The gentle contours of the pillow are angled to support and cushion your spine and neck - keeping it as straight and aligned as possible for restorative sleep. Visco-elastic cells allow the pillow to mould to your neck and shoulders, enabling a personalised ergonomic fit. Advanced airflow technology keeps you cool throughout the night.

The Tencel fabric is made from the pulp of Eucalyptus trees, and is particularly breathable for added comfort, lulling you to sleep! The pillows are also 100% hypoallergenic.

There's one more thing. 


 
Horizontal neck lines, people! Caused by the neck tilting down too much, like when you're looking down on your phone, or when your pillow is too high. The Ergo Foam pillow might help to provide the best alignment to prevent neck lines and double chins! Then go do Koko's face yoga exercises. She's hilarious. 

The only thing I noticed you have to be careful is when you're sleeping on your side. Make sure you aren't resting your cheek on the swell of the pillow, as that part should be cradling your neck. Make sure everything is well aligned before you fall asleep. The pillow I imagine works best for back sleepers; you could fall asleep like that and wake up in the same position. OK, I'm feeling sleepy already. Good night.

SIRI HOUSE at Dempsey has carved out a niche with its cuisine that can best be described as Modern Asian.

Sharing plates let you try a little bit of everything while bonding with the people you eat with.

Hong Kong Food in Singapore: "100 Reasons to Miss Hong Kong" HKTB Promo


Do you miss Hong Kong and its fabulous eats? I remember one of particularly mouthwatering video my friend Wilsurn shared in a groupchat of him and his companion scarfing down all the iconic foods on a weekend makan trip to Hong Kong, just before the Covid travel restrictions hit. Man...the things we take for granted and think we'll be able to do just anytime? Not so easy now. They've just announced a travel air bubble between SG and HK but no dates yet for when this will happen. But thankfully, sometimes when we can't go to the mountain, the mountain can come to us. 

The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is giving us “100 Reasons to Miss Hong Kong” by offering a variety of authentic Hong Kong food experiences to enjoy.

From 12 October 2020 to 15 November 2020, HKTB has lined up eight world-famous Hong Kong food brands in Singapore to provide exclusive promotions and offers to local travellers who miss Hong Kong’s food. Participating brands include Jenny Bakery, Kam’s Roast, Mui Kee Congee, Social Place, as well as the newly opened Hang Heung and Joy Luck Teahouse (which houses Hoover Cake Shop, Kam Kee Café & Tak Hing Fishball Company).

Morton's Singapore: Private Dining Rooms for Celebrations with Steak and Seafood

I think we are all so glad that dining in is back in restaurants. Not only can we enjoy expertly prepared cuisine the way it's meant to be - fresh and hot - but we can also celebrate special occasions at a really nice venue.

Morton’s The Steakhouse has been a particular favourite for celebrating momentous occasions since it opened here in 1998. The restaurant has elegant private dining rooms that are perfect for small meetings, parties, birthday celebrations or even just a change from home.


Morton's Private Dining Rooms 2&3 - Cluster Meeting Set Up

It's probably going to be a while before we can see meetings for groups bigger than five. But I think that day is not too far away, given that rules are relaxing for places of worship (but oh, Morton is the temple of steak, isn't it?) and community cases are down to almost none. I can't wait for Phase 3.
Morton's Private Dining Rooms A&B - Long Dinner Table

With a minimum spending of S$800++, Morton’s The Steakhouse provides complimentary room decoration, an excellent bottle of champagne, dessert for the celebrant, a personalised menu with birthday greeting and special occasion photos, printed and ready for guests to bring home as souvenirs. Most importantly, guests can also look forward to a hearty feast of steaks, seafood, wine and desserts with family and friends.



USDA Bone-in Ribeye

The celebration can start off with Morton’s Prime Ocean Platters (baked), a gorgeous spread of Sea Scallops Wrapped in Bacon, Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, Baked Oyster and Jumbo Shrimp Alexander (S$194++ for 3-4 pax) or indulge in the restaurant’s creamy rendition of the Lobster Bisque (S$39++).

Of course, we love Morton's for its hallmark steaks. The 22oz. Bone-in Ribeye (S$145++, photo above) with a rich marbling of fat, beautiful succulence and flavour is perfect for sharing. For a group of five, you might consider adding also the 20oz. Signature Cut New York Strip (S$156++), Honey Balsamic Glazed Ora King Salmon (S$78++) and the lusciously sweet Alaskan King Crab Legs (S$158++ full portion) for a memorable gourmet experience.

If you're ending the meal on a sweet note, indulge in Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake (S$38++), a classic New York Style Cheesecake (S$29++) or the Fresh Seasonal Berries (S$27++) paired with Sabayon sauce, the perfect simple summery dessert.

A complimentary welcome drink will be presented to early diners who dine-in before 6pm.

They focus on providing healthier option cakes, so they use less sugar and cream to ensure everyone of all ages get to enjoy them as well. You can also order the cakes bundled with flowers, flower domes, balloons and toys.

Jia He Chinese Restaurant at One Farrer Park Connexion: Dining Promotions

Jia He Chinese Restaurant is popping up on the radar of foodies for some of its dishes. They caught my attention with this very attractive promo going on until 30 Sept 2020. 

To commemorate Singapore’s 55th Birthday, they are offering a 30% discount for their Lunch and Dinner a la carte menu for both dine-in and takeaway/delivery (with free delivery for orders above S$50). 

On top of that, dine-in customers with a spending above S$100 per table (after the 30% discount, so approximately a S$150 spend) will get a free Signature Peking Duck (priced at S$55++ on their menu). Takeaway/delivery customers with a similar minimum spending of $100 (after discount) will get a the Signature Roasted Duck (priced at S$68++) instead of Peking duck, because it travels better than the Peking duck which really needs to be a dine-in experience.

ATLAS Singapore Launches New Gin Experiences

Who has not been wowed by ATLAS and the much acclaimed 8-metre tall Gin Tower? This grand Art Deco marvel of a bar and restaurant graces the ground floor of one of Singapore’s most iconic buildings, Parkview Square. It's also home to one of the world’s largest and most extensive gin collections, and has launched a series of exciting one-of-a-kind experiences and updates.


The Personal Gin Tower Experience (S$42)

This is perfect for both gin aficionados or guests making their first foray into the world of the juniper spirit. Hosted by ATLAS' Head Bartender (Jesse Vida of Dead Rabbit and Blacktail fame), or one of the Senior Bartenders, guests are invited to ascend the stairs to the iconic Gin Tower for a personal tour to handpick a gin of their choice. 

Guests will venture across the globe as they explore new flavour profiles and lesser-known distilleries and gin iterations that can be only found in Singapore at ATLAS. 


Gin Tower Experience_1 - Photo Credit: Benjamin Sim The experience continues with a bartender led tasting and presentation of the gin of choice. Guests will enjoy a customised gin and tonic pairing to conclude. Priced from S$42 per guest, this experience is best enjoyed in a pair. 
  

Gins of the World (S$48)


ATLAS has introduced Gins of the World, to delight guests with a world discovery gin flight. Each month, guests can anticipate three unique gins from different areas of the world, explore the diversity of flavours and discover the storied histories on a liquid journey.
  World Flight - - Photo Credit: Benjamin Sim
This month discover South America and its native botanicals from the Amazonian forest with different expressions selected from Peru and Columbia featuring botanicals including sacha inchi, trujillana and tonka beans, of which one is aged in rum-barrels. Priced at S$48, the flight includes three gins which are complemented with a selection of garnishes, soda water and tonic.

ATLAS Gin Collection – Taxonomy of Taste

It took five years to curate the ATLAS Gin Collection of over 1,400 gins and it includes some of the world’s most-loved and sought after labels. 
 
Gin Tower Experience_12 - Photo Credit: Benjamin Sim
The gin menu is now presented as a unique index to support the exploration of the wonderful world of gin whilst highlighting each gins’ key botanicals. The gins of ATLAS have been arranged into their distinct style categories, such as Modern, Barrel-Rested and Navy Strength. Each category is further subdivided into the ATLAS Taxonomy of taste; a guide of ten different flavour profiles such as floral, earthy, nutty and spiced, to make the selection process as seamless as possible for guests.

With a focus on education, the ATLAS Gin Collection also guides guests to choose the most suitable tonic, with a selection of pairing options available for browsing.

Morganfield's Bourbon Bacon Sticky Bones

Morganfield's latest offering for Sept-Oct 2020 is music to my ears - Bourbon Bacon Ribs! 
 
The chefs have spiked the sweet and tangy classic American barbecue sauce with Jim Beam bourbon to give the signature spice rubbed ribs a richer and more complex flavour. The full slab is topped with hand-chopped bacon bits and two strips of Bourbon Candied Bacon, and served with Potato Salad & Grilled Corn on Cob. It is a feast for two (Sticky Bones S$49.90++ and Baby Back Ribs S$39.90++). 


Bourbon Bacon Sticky Bones
And yes, Candied Bacon (S$11.90++) - see glass tumbler full of them perched on the plate above - you can have a half dozen or so strips as a side dish. These are soaked in bourbon for hours, before being caramelised. The concept is marvellous, but you can still taste sugar crystals sprinkled on the bacon. I think it might be better to brush sugar in syrup or liquid form onto them before baking in order to get that molten hardened candy effect. So we gave that feedback - I don't know if this will be relayed to the chefs for experimentation. 



Ale and stout to go with sticky bones
If you'd like to pair even more booze with your ribs, there are a couple of choices that go really well. On the left, you have Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar which is sweet and nutty with an acidity that balances out with the fatty meat of the ribs. On the right, we have North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout which is rich, strong and roasty with a warming finish. The roasty aspect and the tangy sauce on the ribs are perfect for each other.

The ribs are truly a gorgeous treat. However, if you feel like staying in or want to cater for a party, Morganfield's does takeaway and delivery
