Yomoda Soba is the third restaurant I tried among the plentiful selection in Japan Food Town.  I chose Yomoda Soba as the third restaurant since I was craving for some good Cold Soba. According to the homepage of Yomoda Soba, it is said that the word Yomoda has many meanings. It can mean “carefree”, “easy going” and friends too. And interesting, in the Ehime prefecture’s Matsuyama dialect, this word is best for anyone who considers themselves as a ‘bit of a joker’ and likes to see the funny side of things. So much so is the meaning of the name.   When I arrived at Yomo ..read more

Most must have heard of Garden Picks. They provide quality nuts and dried fruits to consumers. Started as a web-based distributor for ordering via online and now they manufacture and pack their own products.   Though we saw lots of post of Garden Picks on Instagram and also online advertisement, this is our first time trying out 6 of their products.     BBQ Rice Crisps   Among the six we tried, our favourite item is the BBQ Rice Crisps. This product is from China with each bag weighing at 120g. They are high in fibre and low in calories hence this is a healthier o ..read more

Kooks Creamery is at the same block with The Plain Jane. For those who have been to The Plain Jane cafe would have no challenge locating Kooks Creamery. It is especially great news for those living in the hood. Besides roll cake, now there is ice cream too. Hooray!   Since Kooks Creamery started, it has been making waves and lots of raving about it too. As usual, though we love trying out new products, but we are skeptical too as it might turn out as over-rated too. In addition, with so much of good reviews, our expectation increases too.       With glass panel surro ..read more

When we arrived at Nit And Grit located at Hougang Green Mall, 2 young ladies in their mid-twenties, soft-spoken Joy and shy Jillian greeted us with lovely smiles. The first we noticed was their extremely short hair. This was the result as they participated at the Hair For Hope. In our mind was what a sacrificed they made from this big act. Hence, we are certain that they are very kind at heart. Throughout our conversation, indeed, it manifested naturally from them.   From the owner to the facade and then to the food, the same theme presented throughout Nit And Grit, that is humble. Despi ..read more

For those who have been to Froth previously located at Big Hotel will remember quite some of their signature items. As Big Hotel was sold, Froth has to shift and as such they found their new home at Ascotts Raffles Place. With the change of location, they upgraded their menu to serve the business district crowds. We checked them out to see how they fare.   The ambience at Froth new location is as usual casual with similar furniture when they were at Big Hotel. Perhaps due to the flooring, instead of the cemented, there is a modern feeling rather than the industrial feel. We certainly pref ..read more

We got to know about DW Workshop through an instagram photo posted by @miss_teatime_sg. We were mesmerized by the cozy setting of the living room and it turned out to be a cafe, the DW Workshop.   The cafe is housed within a typical two-storey Colonial house which is in black and white. Even though nothing much was done to the interior since it only has mainly cemented floor and whitewashed wall, it is the combination of furniture that magnified the look.       At DW Workshop, it is a cafe cum workshop and at the same time a retail. First let’s explore its ..read more
