This is turning into an eating tour of Shanghai.
It’s been a couple of hours since Naomi and I returned to our serviced apartment from dinner at Franck.
It was no ordinary dinner. It was OMG THIS IS SO GOOD WE COULD LIVE HERE AND EAT HERE, IF NOT EVERY DAY, THEN […]
The last time we were in Shanghai, we had the good fortune of being stuck in a jam on the corner of Huaihai Zhong Lu and Maoming Lu.
Our friend Han Tong was in the taxi with us. And when we asked him why the heck people were queuing outside a hole in the wall, he […]
If you wanted to buy someone a Nespresso machine (wah, so generous, can I be your friend?), but they already have one, you could, this festive season, buy them a couple of tubes of the limited edition Christmas variations. This is especially good if you’re always bumming Nespresso off your friends when they […]
A couple of weeks ago, we decided to have lunch at the Raffles City branch of The Handburger. The previous times we ate there, they hadn’t gotten their “brand new look” yet, and we liked their burgers enough to eat there several times.
So we had really high hopes for a tasty burger lunch, […]
We open on Sep 23, which is smack just before the F1 weekend. We couldn’t get a mini F1 kart on the show, so we’re making do with a mini racing motorcycle for Hossan to ride on stage. And no, we’re not attempting to outdo Mediacorp’s President’s Scar Charity.

Neither of us smoke any more, the maitre’d has since […]
Blood still boiling from the discovery of yesterday’s Razor TV coverage of the same restaurant buying and serving giant grouper that CNA talked about last month, Naomi did a little research and found that not only is this big fish a vulnerable species, it is also likely to be poisonous […]
First published on greenkampong.com
Our very own Channel Newsasia ignores the fact that the Giant Garoupa or Queensland Grouper was put on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2006, and instead celebrates the story of a restaurateur who bought one […]
I was very amused (and thankful) yesterday to discover that Mellben Seafood Restaurant has a “carpark warden warning system”.
When your friendly neighbourhood carpark warden turns up to issue fines at the HDB carpark, a designated staff member blows a long blast on a whistle that will get almost everyone startled and on […]
I wasn’t going to blog about this, but I saw Tuesday’s ST headline about bad service and realised that bad service was a national epidemic, and therefore had to be talked about, the same way we talked about SARS, and swine flu. Because talking about it spreads awareness, and when […]
