Sushiro

We read reviews about how Sushiro had snaking queues (partly due to its popularity and partly due to its small size) and were pleasantly surprised when we went and immediately were shown to our seat- I guess it helped to have a late lunch.  Although they are known for their chirashi don, we were a little wary of raw food ever since there was a bacteria outbreak. I still miss sashimi and will eat small quantities of it when the craving strikes.  I...

Swatmobile

As I recently moved house, travelling to work takes significantly longer and I was introduced to an application called Swatmobile. It says that it is "Cheaper than taxi, faster than bus". Does it really live up to its claim? 1. App The app is clean, user friendly and intuitive. It is extremely easy to get the app going. The bot will speak to you and you just need to answer accordingly. Once the application is set up, you are ready to make...

Cafe & Meal Muji (Paragon)

Muji is the kind of shop that I enter just to satisfy my eyes' need to look at beautiful things, yet not buy anything from because the prices aren't exactly cheap.

Poulet (Raffles City Shopping Centre)

Poulet is one of those places that we go to when we can't decide what to eat and want something safe.  Poulet is of course best known for their Roast Chicken with Mushroom Chardonnay. We wanted to try something new and went ahead with the Roast Chicken with Black Pepper Sauce ($30.90). I guess it helps that since their main draw is their roast chicken, they constantly roast a few at the same time, and our order got served very quickly. We...

Kucina

Kucina is situated at OneKM, housing many restaurants with halal options. As I was craving for pizza that day, we headed straight to Kucina, a Halal-certified restaurant. Their menu was rather extensive.  As we were famished, we ordered some Pane ($5) to satisfy our hunger. It consisted of a basket of warm bread with sundried tomato, herb foccacia, garlic pizza bread and country slice. They sure do their breads well- I especially enjoyed...
