Do you it is really hard to find delicious macarons? My mom always complained about the sweetness of macarons, she bought in Malaysia. However, she stopped complaining when I brought her a box of macarons from SweetSpot of Marina Bay Sands Singapore. It was heavenly.

In one of our trips to the luxurious Marina Bay Sands Singapore, a dessert café caught our attention.

It was the SweetSpot and the shop is located at the atrium of Tower 3.

On top of their beautiful cakes, their macarons were the ones that we were craving for. With so many choices, we bought one each. We were definitely spoilt by the choices.

We bought a few dozens of macarons with every six of them packed nicely in a very beautiful box. It was a perfect gift for my family as they adore macarons. Hence, if you are in Marina Bay Sands Singapore, you must try the macarons of SweetSpot.

In on our recent trip to Singapore, we went to Vivo City we visited Sentosa Island with Sentosa Day Pass with 13 attractions. We took almost the whole day venturing Sentosa with the pass. You can read the review on the day pass HERE.

After a long day, we were looking for a snack in Vivo City. We tried the Food Republic before so we wanted to try out something different. That’s how we spotted the Superdog.

At first, we hesitated to try out their hot dogs as we thought it could be just another hot dog chain but after we saw bacon in their menu, there was no turning back! We wanted to try something different than the usual Singapore food. Superdog also offers a variety of hamburgers on top of their hot dogs range.

We ordered the American Cheeseburger for S$5 (RM 12 / US$ 4). It wasn’t any extraordinary on the cheeseburger, typical beef patty sandwiched together with lettuce, tomato and cheese.

Then, we order the Bacon Ripper for S$5 (RM 12 / US$ 4) and we top up to a regular set for $ 2.50 (RM 6 / US$ 2). Delicious hotdog topped with bacon and onion. This can be very addictive, trust me. It is really hard to get bacon hotdog in Malaysia so having Superdog’s bacon hotdog was satisfying.

So if you are at Vivo City, you might need to take shelter at the Superdog for good hotdogs.

Singapore is always popular for its cuisine. From street food to world class quality cuisine, Singapore is always considered a food hub due to its accessibility of fresh food from around the world.

Singapore was part of Malaya until they independence in 1960s. For that, Singapore is still much influenced by the Malay culture and its delicacies.

There is one famous genuine Malay food restaurant located at the KTM Railway Tanjong Pagar. However, due to the agreement with the Malaysian government, the Tanjong Pagar railway station or Keppel railway station will ceased operation next month and to be relocated to Woodland Train Checkpoint. For the loyal customers of the Malay food there, don’t worry because they have already relocated to Lau Pa Sat.

It is called So Sedap at Stall 24 in Lau Pa Sat (next to Wendy’s). Lau Pa Sat is one of the most popular food courts in Singapore because of its good food and its strategic location in the city.

Mee Soto at So Sedap

We ordered the Mee Soto for S$ 3.00. The bowl comes with generous amount of noodle and soup. Topped with spices and fried shallots, there was no lacking in taste and it is as good as it gets.

Chicken Briyani at So Sedap

It was the Chicken Briyani next for S$ 4.80. The biryani rice was fragrant and the chicken was delicious. No lacking in spicy and it compliments well with the crunchy cracking papadom. Rachel loved this as it tasted very fresh.

Ramly Burger Special at So Sedap

The biggest surprise of all was the Ramly Burger Special for S$3.00. Ramly burger special is a popular street food in Malaysia. Using Ramly brand burger patties, the patty then cooked and wrapped with egg and sandwiched between the butter toasted buns together with mayonnaise, chilli sauce, lettuce, tomato and onion. It is hard to find Ramly burger special in Singapore. So Sedap’s version of Ramly Burger Special was tastefully done, no complaints.

Rachel enjoying her feast.

If you are in Lau Pa Sat and looking for gorgeous Malay food, try So Sedap at Stall 24 just beside Wendy’s!

My Singaporean uncle told me it is the best Bak Kut Teh (Pork Ribs Herbal Tea Soup) in Singapore. The place is notoriously popular for turning down Mr. Donald Tsang’s request for a bowl of the soup and it claims that they kicked out Mr. Thaksin Shinawatra after a disagreement over a bowl of innards.

It was last year my uncle brought me to this famous Bak Kut Teh. The place was crowded when we reached there. The interior is similar to our Malaysian’s Old Town Restaurants.

We ordered the “Tang O” vegetables as side dishes.

Then we have the Braised Winter Mushroom.

Next was the Braised Pig Intestine.

We ordered a few bowls of their Signature Pork Spare Ribs Soup. The soup was quite heavily flavoured with pepper and the taste of the herbs was minimal. It is different than the ones we have in Malaysia. Personally, I would prefer to have more herbs taste rather than the pepper taste. Well, that’s my preferences.

Nevertheless, the food there was generally good.  The bill came to about S$70 inclusive of the chinese tea. For Singapore, it could be the best but if compare to the ones in Malaysia, it is debatable. Yet, if you are in Singapore and you want to have a good Bak Kut Teh experience, Ng Ah Sio Pork Ribs Soup is still the place to go.

Champagne Truffle and Ganache!!

As we opened the box, there is a thin layer of transparency paper reads “Original Raffles Hotel Moon cake”.

There are 8 mini moon cakes. Trust me, the skin is super soft. As we opened the cover, we can smell the fragrance of the snow skin.

It seems to be the moon cake was not cold enough so it was still very soft. I tried to cut it nicely but failed. It should be kept in the fridge 0 – 4 degree Celsius.

I ate half of the moon cake. To be frank the filling is very soft and there is a bit of hints of champagne. It was good and it tasted very similar with my mum’s moon cakes. I strongly believe that the ingredients used for it are natural as the filling is “non sticky”. Most commercial moon cake fillings are “sticky”. A natural or homemade moon cake can only last for a week, other than that you can figure it out yourselves.
The moon cake lived up to its expectations but I do felt it is slightly overpriced. It was first champagne truffle moon cake so I felt it was good. It could be better if there’s more champagne, just my opinion on this. I’m going to save a bit for my mom. She can be more judgmental on it since she can make excellent moon cake.

Thank you Watercloud hand carrying back the moon cakes and also for the recommendations, we loved it.

This could be one of the rarest occasions in the culinary world. Six world class celebrity chefs: Santi Santamaria, Guy Savoy, Tetsuya Wakuda, Daniel Boulud and Justin Quek were altogether at Marina Bay Sands Singapore.

I walked slowly into the event hall as the chefs were chatting with each other. Approx. 300 media representatives around the world, awaits the 6 world class chefs for the Q & A session.  The one hour media session was filled with laughter and joy. Hosted by the founders of AFC, the Asian Food Channel, the chefs were having fun answering questions from the press and media.

As the media conference concluded, everyone fled to the food tasting session hall where the real feast began. I must admit that never in my life, I’ve tasted any of the 6 world class chef’s food. Never would I think that I could have tasted all of their food at one time, at this event. The experience was extraordinary.

A short conversation with other foreign media agreed that such rare occasion was a memorable experience indeed.

With unlimited champagne from Piper-HiedSieck, I could not keep track the amazing food I had.

In one of our recent trips to Singapore, we went to check out a German Microbrewery Bar & Restaurant located smack right at the center of the city. It is the popular Paulaner Brauhaus Singapore.

Located at the Raffles Boulevard at Millenia Walk, the brewhouse offers beers that are brewed on site in unadulterated form according to the German purity law of 1516. Whether light or dark: all Paulaner beers are always tapped fresh and with lots of fizz. The special beers offered twice to three times a year on a seasonal basis are also brewed internally for guests to see.

The view within at the brewhouse was spectacular. It looks like a mini brew factory with striking red lightings on the ceiling.

We ordered the Munich Lager, a bright golden brew with a smooth taste and a light hops flavor. Original wort: 12.4% by weight. For a 0.3 litre, the beer cost at S$13 / RM 30 / US$10.

After a few glasses of good beer and great time of get together with friends, we left the place with a smile on our face. Beer might be slightly on the high side but what you pay is the quality.

We loved the micro-brewery concept and hope there will be a few in Malaysia. Paulaner Brauhus is within walking distance from many popular hotels in Singapore. Will visit them again on our future trips to Singapore.

During my visit to the Marina Bay Sands Singapore, the other media representatives and I were given a taste of one of their exclusive restaurant, Rise. Located at the heart of the hotel lobby, the view from the restaurant was stunning.

The buffet lunch was a blend of western and Asian cuisine. As much as I loved their Chinese “kung po” style chicken to the Thai style deep fried fish fillet, the variety of the food were simply amazing.

Local specialties such as glass noodle, fried noodle and even Tandoori chicken, Rise aimed to give its customers a taste of Singapore food.

The ribs and the grilled beef were the favourites of the day. I loved how they prepared the grilled beef though I find it “too rare” for Asian likings. With the range of the food available, my lunch at Rise with the outstanding view will be one to remember.

It will be one of the most anticipated culinary haven experience awaits the food lovers and the foodies of the region. Well, I’m talking about celebrity chefs like Daniel Boulud, Wolfgang Puck, Santi Santamaria, Guy Savoy and Tetsuya Wakuda. Some of them are world top 50 best chefs and some are Michelin Guide ranked chefs owned restaurants. Altogether, it is like a dream team of celebrity chefs.

Celebrity Chef Santi Santamaria – Marina Bay Sands Singapore

Marina Bay Sands Singapore is not just a gaming destination but it will be a culinary haven. A food lover like me would love to travel down in the future once the restaurants are fully opened. It will be a great chance to taste the world class cuisine operated by world class chefs. How often are we able to travel to places like Spain, Australia and United States for restaurants like this?

Now, it’s all under one roof in Marina Bay Sands Singapore. This is one not to be missed!

I am not sure who is Ah Chew but they serves delicious desserts. I discovered Ah Chew Desserts by chance during my recent trip to Lion city, Singapore.

We were supposed to be party our heads off but due to unforeseen circumstances, we ended up having desserts as supper at Ah Chew desserts.

It wasn’t a bad idea and so do the icy Honeydew sago. Honeydew sago was refreshing and it is addictive.

The star of the night was the Black Glutinous Rice with Vanilla Ice cream. It almost blew my socks off when I saw it in their menu. The combination of black glutinous rice with vanilla ice cream was adventurous and appealing. The hot and cold combination dessert was my first and definitely will not be my last!

With such a few Sing dollars per bowl, I will visit Ah Chew Desserts again for more crazy combination desserts.
