Easter 2013 @ Cedele
March 18, 2013
Easter Day falls on 31st of March this year and Cedele has taken the opportunity to promote a handful of goodies for the holiday.I can imagine your anxiety before revealing whatever was within. Drum rolls… TaDah! Easter Cake of the Month: Chocolate Spring Cake. I see chocolates everywhere but what exactly does the spring mean? […]
Vday with Pets @ Sun Ray Cafe
February 13, 2013
I can’t believe that I’m only a day away from Valentine’s Day and I left this post hanging in mid-air. Chinese New Year drained me thoroughly with the chaotic spring cleaning, visitings, eating and receiving red packets. I was supposed to keep myself away from writing for just a day or two but I went […]
Prosperity CNY Feast @ Plaza Brasserie
February 7, 2013
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?” […]
Laksania @ East Coast Road (Halal)
February 1, 2013
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 […]
Tårta Chokladkrokant @ Ikea
January 15, 2013
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 […]
Pizza4U @ Sunset Way (Halal)
November 6, 2012
Apart from pizza chains like the reputable ‘Hut’, there are numerous solitary joints like Pizza4U which I favour. I totally dig dining in these establishments, the prevailing mood of the environments are usually homely and cozy as shown in the photo below. The outlet is lightly spruced up with contrasted yellow and blue furnishings, nostalgically […]
Nyonya Food Affair @ Buffet Town
October 18, 2012
I have been piling on the pounds lately. You should be able to understand why if you have been actively following me on Instagram (@aimakan), where I showcase almost instant depictions of my meals.September had been a hectic month for me; attending tastings, working as usual but most importantly, celebrating my Birthday with so many […]
Hard Rock Cafe @ Cuscaden Road
September 28, 2012
I have been to countless Hard Rock Cafes all around the world but I must confess, it was my first having a real meal in-house. It might have seemed peculiar to you, however their merchandises were much more appealing to me then. The whole rock and roll vibe could be seen all around the restaurant. […]
Bobby’s @ Chijmes
August 25, 2012
Most business owners would name their firms after themselves. But not Bobby’s. It was fascinating to learn that the Indonesian Indian partners took up the name after an encounter with a particular friendly policeman (known as Bobbies) in London. This humble establishment already owns two separate outlets, one in Chijmes and the other in Cuppage. […]
Wimbly Lu @ Jalan Riang
July 27, 2012
For the past couple of years, if you realised; there are a trillion number of unique cafes blooming around the country. Mostly themed vintage, quirky or just simple rustic-styled. Preferred to be housed in our notably petite nation, a handful of these establishments had managed to settle and flourish in secluded locations. Jalan Riang is […]
Carpenter and Cook @ Lor Kilat
July 14, 2012
AiMakan, loves to eat but don’t exactly eat alot. However, on the day MoonBerry and I went for the tasting at Woori-nara we decided to also conveniently swing by this fairly new establishment at Lorong Kilat. Just a few doors away, we sort of ‘rolled’ our way over after a satiated luncheon to this curious-looking […]
The Square @ Novotel Hotel
July 5, 2012
What makes a good buffet truly memorable? A wholesome spread or an intriguing variation to certain dishes offered probably. I would personally be bowled over by the latter if there’s an existence of a wow factor. Novotel Hotel’s very own contemporary buffet restaurant, the Square serves a pleasant feast of international cuisines. The natty environment […]
E.Clat @ Sultan Link
June 24, 2012
Daniel from Daniel’s food diary was kind enough to let me tag along on one of his food invites to this recently launched ‘canteen’. There was no signboard, or at least at the time when we were there. Let’s just hope they have finally put one up else, it would be a chore looking for […]

My Greenwich V-iviacious experience
March 3, 2012
Welcome to GreenWich V mall. GreenWich is pronounced as green-nich not Green-Wich, for your information. Like many other recent residential developments, this highly anticipated complex has plenty to offer. As a solitary arcade established within the expanse of Seletar and Jalan Kayu, it was not at all surprising that families would be seen clustering within […]
Juchheim’s Baumkuchen @ Takashimaya
October 5, 2011
Baumkuchen is a German/Japanese version of the Indonesian layered cake, Kueh Lapis. The characteristic rings that appear when sliced resemble tree rings. Thus given the German name, Baumkuchen; which literally translates to “tree cake” or “log cake”. Unlike its Asian counterpart, the Baumkuchen is baked on a rotating rod instead. The skillful confectioner scoops and […]
Relish @ myVillage Serangoon Gardens
August 19, 2011
Tucked away in a corner on the second level of myVillage at the Serangoon Gardens, this fresh associate to the WildRocket team; attempts wholeheartedly to satisfy the stomachs of finicky residents of the area with real comfort food. Settle in for their decent priced set lunches or weekends only all-day brunches and if time permits; […]
Arteastiq @ Mandarin Gallery
June 9, 2011
An extented development to the swanky European furniture store; Marxx, Arteastiq Tea Lounge was an idea implanted to allow patrons a place to rest while considering on their purchases. Thoughtful yet a great concept to expand their existing businesses and assets, they are serious about bringing in big bucks, aren’t they? Salute. It is a serenely quiet location, tucked away from the usual pig […]
