I have never been a fan of those sugar loaded evil treats, mooncakes. Believe it or not, I have not laid a finger on one for the past two years. Proud of it till this year, I had no choice but to savour some for reviews. Kill me already because I can’t keep myself away. […]

This is my second post on 10@Claymore and the first was dated too long back, one of the prime entries when I just started blogging. Here is the link, just in case you are curious of how far AiMakan has come. Looking back, I realised that this blog has given me much opportunities to venture […]

Currently ran by their third generation, this Halal kueh kueh store has been serving high quality delights to their patrons for more than two decades. Residing in the area, I was […]

Tell me you are unaware of this restaurant chain and you will get a slap on the head from me. Come on, it’s Sushi Tei for goodness sake. There shall be no introduction for this post as it will be awfully awkward if I were to do so, it ought to be a ‘household’ brand […]

I have always wanted to try the Line in Shangri-La as it is by far one of the highly raved International Buffets in Singapore. Thanks to my fellow blogger pal, Celes from Celestialdelish.com who invited me to a media event, was I able to finally get a whiff of the spread. The day after the […]

Dolce means ‘sweet’ in Italian and you would have guessed what this cafe serves. The Japanese-Italian fusion concept brand is the latest addition to the distinguished Ministry of Food group. Residing in a cozy corner on the 3rd level of the mall, the eatery holds a rather obliging seating arrangement. The intended interior embellishments were […]

April has been an exciting month with several notable figures invading our island. One-Michelin Star Dim Sum restaurant Tim Ho Wan has resided in The Atrium @ Orchard (Plaza Singapura) just less than a week ago and now we have Parisian luxury patisserie chain, Ladurée. When news about introducing this Macaron originator into Singapore started […]

I was on a road trip in New Zealand a month ago and was exhilarated by the easily available fresh foodstuffs. Every home-cooked meal was simple yet flavoursome, thanks to the daily catches and harvests. I was certain that I wouldn’t be able to recreate anything like it at home, let alone anticipate feasting in […]

Exclaim that you cannot imagine how it is possible that poor AiMakan has never been to Japan. Do fuss in disbelief and urge me to go! Despite that, I am contented with the options my country offers. Well, for the time being at least. Tampopo should not be foreign to most Japanese cuisine lovers. This […]

This is the first time AiMakan is introducing a herbivorous fare but any carnivores should give this humble joint a shot, I hope it could win you over.Original Sin was launched by Michael Hadley two years after his […]

What is a must-have during Chinese New Year? I am talking about food here before you start mentioning about Ang Baos or new clothes. Apart from Bak kua, mandarin oranges and festive goodies including pineapple tarts, which other one fare is irreplaceable during the eve of the holiday due to its noteworthy significance? Nabe, HOTPOT. […]

Plaza Singapura is undergoing a revamp and has extended its vicinity naming it, The Atrium @ Orchard. If you have dropped by the mall since late last year, you would have observed a major transformation of tenants who have settled in. Nana’s Green Tea happened to be one of the pioneers which include Chef Wan’s […]

Being a single and mid-twenties is a bore during Chinese New Year. The festive season was supposed to be all about collecting Ang Baos and getting the opportunity to stock up on clothes for the year. But as age starts to catch up, most relatives would ask the ultimate questions, “Do you have a boyfriend?” […]

Do you ever feel the need to devour local delights when you return from a foreign land? Apart from the tension relief when the plane touched down on home grounds, our cuisine tend to deliver the exact soothing effect. Thirsty for a bowl of Singaporean Laksa, Penang Laksa, Sarawak Laksa? You can get everything under […]

*1st & 2nd photographs credits to Prima Deli* If you have been diligently following my blog and realised the inefficiency with the entries, AiMakan apologises with much guilt. I have got to admit, two posts in a month is horrible but then, I have always been slow due to my shift work schedules. Please do […]

AiMakan was on the verge of breaking down from all the festive feasts she had. That should explain why I have been missing in action on my blog. I am back with a whole list of goodies to recommend and they will all be short entries to start getting readers interested with me again. Here […]
