Tanuki Raw is probably one of those few places whose standard has been super consistent over the years even with their expansion. I like how the tuna is well marinated and went super well with the flavourful rice ( I wonder that their secret recipe for that is)

I have always been a big fan of bread pudding due to its crispy exterior and pudding like texture. I like how Daizu's rendition contains a strong hojicha aroma which complemented the vanilla ice cream well. The only complaint I have is the lack of alternative flavors.

I nearly screamed out of joy when I stumbled upon the Fabulous Baker Boy while walking along Haji Lane. It's undeniable that they are making a bigger comeback than ever with a expanded food menu.

The star of the store however still goes to the lovely cake range of which it's the diva series season. I ordered Celine Dion which packs a rich punch of raspberry cream in between the moist cake sponge. I liked how the cream contains hints of raspberry without being too overwhelming.

At this rate, my goal would be to try out all the cakes from this establishment!

As the healthy lifestyle trend catches up, I have started seeing more of these poke bowl establishments. I decided to give this place a go since it's food king certified. I like how they are super generous with the poke ( I chose the salmon and garlic prawns) and there are a huge range of toppings to choose from. Will definitely be back for more variations

Sushi rice has always been the hardest to master for every sushi master and it has been extremely hard to find good ones in Singapore. I didn't have that high an expectation but wow I was blown away when I realise how the rice was sticky and had the right amount of vinegar and the proportion too was well managed. As for the salmon, I guess I don't have to say much since everyone knows how Standing sushi bar does their salmon.

I love going to Standing Sushi Bar on a Saturday because of its 50% off sushi as well sashimi. Being the huge lover of sashimi myself, I literally ordered my favourite cuts which ranges from salmon to scallops. And it was such a steal gievn the quality as the ingredients were super fresh. I might just make this a weekly affair.

I love how this cake doesn't come off as too heavy even though we all know how thick black sesame paste can be. There is a good balance between the black sesame mousse and cake. This cake goes super well with tea that has floral notes

Heard so much about this eatery with handmade noodles at an adorable price and I was pleased to find out that there is even a burpple deal. I love how they used actual tomatoes for the soup base and you can feel those small tomato bits that complemented the springy noodles. The ebiko balls too were well made and I would love to come back to try the rest of their soup base.

My crazy huge stash of teas from Antea Social meant that I had literally tried every hot tea they have on the menu. I didn't know if matcha, which is pretty milky and bitter, would actually complement lemonade which is sour and light. The colour blocks did look pretty and surprisingly I was in awe of how the lemonade erased traces of bitterness from the matcha and made it less heavy on the tongue too. Instead, it was rather refreshing on a insanely hot day!

I ordered this drink as it had a good combination of some floral notes as well as some sour elements. Although it was a little pricer, it was totally with worth when I had my first sip. I was confused initially because there were a lot of different spectrum of flavours but after a while I realised it had a predominantly strong floral taste followed by a citrus after taste. Highly recommended!

The hype was so strong when they first opened that the queue snaked all the way to the escalator. A few months later, I was overjoyed when the queue has shorten quite a bit. I love how the taste of the tea isn't weakened by the milk. The milk tasted so good but the pearls could have been better as it was a little overcooked and too soft.

Thought this is an extremely creative and timely given how it's a CNY special. The yuzu mousse was well done as it had a good balance between creamy and sour. However, the layer of cake in between was a little too dry and the Mandarin jelly below was way too sour for my liking!.
