I'm a huge fan of this hard-to-find dish and I'd crave for it every now and then. I was quite surprised to find out that there's a stall at ION's Food Opera selling salted baked chicken and I've been eating here quite often for a few months now.

My usual order is the Salted Baked Chicken Thigh with Rice. It costs $6 for a satisfying portion, a very good deal in comparison to other stalls in this area (e.g. 1 prata for friggin' 8 bucks ). I love the chilli served and not forgetting the soup too!

This restaurant is very near my place in Toa Payoh and I come here almost every week. At first I couldn't believe the incredibly low prices of the dishes on the menu - spaghetti is up to $4.90, maybe $5 max!

My usual dish is the Peperoncino Bacon Spaghetti ($4.90), an aglio olio-style pasta dish best enjoyed with loads of tabasco sauce. You may think $4.90 won't bring you much, but it's a pretty big bowl of pasta for such a low price!

Christmas came early this year and my boyfriend and I decided to have our special Xmas dinner at Prive Grill. Located on Singapore's only private island, Prive Grill isn't the easiest eatery to reach, but it sure is worth the journey.

We had the 5-course Festive Menu which was about $80++ per person. The dinner took about 2 hours and the pace the food was served at was perfect; they'd wait for you to be done with one before preparing and serving the other. We also had the BEST seats in the house, right by the waterfront! That evening we saw not one, but two firework displays right from where we were seated. Apparently, one of the staff told us that December sees weekly firework shows because of the festive season, so that was an awesome experience!
Tataki of Yellow Fin Tuna
Tataki of Yellow Fin Tuna was one of the starters and this was arguably one of my favourite items on the festive menu. The freshness of the yellow fin was unrivalled and it was seasoned so well. I gobbled this baby right up!Josper-grilled King Prawns
The king prawns were huge, firm and juicy (must be the magic of the Josper grill). The bits of caviar added that burst of flavour to every bite, and the bed of truffled mash the prawns sat on was heavenly.Pan-roasted Atlantic Cod
The cod was cooked to PERFECTION. What made this so tasty was the Niçoise olive and parsley crust which added a savoury touch to the dish. I love dishes that play with contrasting textures and flavours and the crust did just that, while complementing the smoothness of the fish meat.Pineapple Carpaccio
Dessert was pretty out of this world. Thinly sliced pineapple topped with chilli, vanilla ice cream and olive oil coconut cake. Again, the contrasting textures and flavours with the sweetness of the pineapple and the spiciness of the chilli did it for me.

To top it all off, the service at Prive Grill was splendid. Our evening was perfect thanks to these guys. Bravo Prive!!

I had heard a lot about Delicious Cafe so one lunch I decided to give it a go. I wasn't feeling too hungry so I ordered the Balsamic Roasted Mushroom Toast (I think that's what it's called).

It was about $10 and the portion was pretty large. They were very generous with the mushrooms, which were covered in balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic - very delicious indeed!

Food aside, the greatest thing about &MADE is the fact that the head chef, Bruno Ménard, is a Michelin-starred chef actually based in Singapore. As a result, &MADE is the first of its kind here and the surprisingly low prices (for a place selling gourmet food) is what makes it so appealing!The duck confit burger (DD - $22) is the best ever. The strips of duck are super tender and extremely flavourful. Also, as usual, I couldn't get enough of the side of truffle fries - sooo awesome!
