Trying Dumpling Darlings at Amoy Street
Craved recently for dimsum and I thought of taking my friend Ramel to Dumpling Darlings at Telok Ayer. I was always intrigued by the name “Dumpling Darlings”. It sounds like a cute name, right? When I learned it’s inside of a shophouse, I jumped onto an opportunity to make reservations. (Here I go again with…

Singapore Favorites: Kimoto Gastro Bar
My boyfriend and I discovered this kushiyaki izakaya at The Sail when I used to work at LinkedIn. It has my kind of vibe: Japanese skewered meat, Japanese beers, a long bar table, and with minimal foot traffic. It’s like a secret! Very hole-in-the-wall and hidden if you don’t know where to look. My friend…

Unli-Rice at Orchard Road: The RiceTable Indonesian Restaurant
PJ is a rice lover. Often what we both want for lunch (or dinner) is different. I want my salads, pasta, and proteins. He wants anything else as long as it has rice. On his birthday, I wanted to take him to a restaurant that specialises not in rice… but in what goes great with…

Tampines, Singapore: 888 Mookata
PJ and I discovered an affordable mookata (think: Korean BBQ meets Chinese Hot Pot) near his block in Tampines. We were happy it’s open until 11:00 PM! They offer a set for two people which is priced at SGD 26.00. That’s $13 each for a selection of meat, vegetable, and noodles. Not bad! There’s a…

Singapore Favourites: Kushiya Japanese Grilled House at Westgate, Jurong
Without a doubt this is a hidden gem! Located in Basement 2 of Westgate Mall in Jurong East, it’s a simple “basement level” eatery that blends in with all the others. But I am consistently impressed by the fresh grilled taste of their pork belly served over rice. PJ also ordered the kimchi beef which…

Singapore: Soi Thai Kitchen in Tampines
My current living arrangement with my partner is simple. We take turns. Every weekend we alternate between his flat in Tampines and my place in Bukit Merah. We plan to move in together eventually. But for now, we’re enjoying this arrangement of being able to enjoy two sides of the city. Somewhere in Tampines West (okay,…

Singapore: Little Elephant Thai Bistro in Tiong Bahru
There are a handful of Thai restaurants in the city and in the heartlands. Luckily here near my block, there’s one that sits right across Tiong Bahru Bakery. Little Elephant Thai Bistro sits in a beautiful spot next to coffee shops and a bus stop. This is one of my favourites in Tiong Bahru. I’m…

This Week in PJ and George’s Kitchen: Butter Garlic Shrimps
I’m so proud of myself. I’m starting to cook something other than pork adobo. Clap! I mentioned in a previous post that my boyfriend and I will cook ‘something new’ every Wednesday and feature it in my blog. Last week we had pork steak. This week we listed down butter garlic shrimps, Filipino-style. Like where…
