It's been awhile since I took a day trip to Johor. Usually would drive in on a Saturday morning with family to our usual spots but since I don't have anything much on my plate at the moment, thought of exploring Johor on a weekday. Woodlands Checkpoint and the KTM Ride Been hearing from friends …
Category: Food glorious food!
Recipe experiments, reviews and everything else about food. Growing up with great cooks (mum & aunts), had developed my palette. Just like art, food are subjective and reviews are solely based on my palette and opinions.
Ichikokudo Hokkaido Ramen
Just like any other newly Halal certified restaurant, the queue at Ichikokudo was long and the waiting time on this Saturday night was about 30 minutes. I made reservations and recommend to do so especially if you are planning to go there on weekends and/or with big groups. Noticed that they are also shorthanded which …
Of Durian Chendol Ice-Cream & Cakes
When in Arab Street: (1) Always hard to resist temptations. (2) Always spoilt for choice - from traditional desserts at Hjh Maimumah, to artisanal breads and pastries at Konditori, to various shops/cafes selling various flavours of ice-creams and cakes. (3) And of course, needless to say, the aplenty halal cuisines ranging from Malay Nasi Padang, …
A Weekend of Gluttony
A company who needs good food to destress after an emotional crazy work week. And so it became a Saturday full of food, thanks to yours truly. We did walked it off in between window shopping, chats and exploring the East side of the island, Bedok and Paya Lebar (I stayed in the North while …

Off Day Bliss

Padi@Bussorah
Siblings and I made reservations at Padi four months in advanced (yes, you read it right) for mum's 60th birthday. I stumbled across Padi when it was newly opened in May. Decided to take a look at the restaurant when we started to explore options and make plans in June. When we saw the VIP …
And end to a day…
How do you like to end a short week for a 4-day long weekend? With a cup of long black, a glass of red, a glass of white, a lime tart or a peanut butter tart? Or with all of the above and throw in great conversations? Those are non-alcoholic wines by the way...
