Banana Gusto (waffle with chocolate and chocolate mint ice cream) from Knots Living, a cafe concept situated within a breathtakingly beautiful furniture/floral space in MacPherson. I rarely find sufficient reason to fawn over dining spaces, but I am positively infatuated with Knots Living’s Japanese-y combination of woody, flora-infused, grey-walled and…
Lala Bee Hoon from Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe. The very wet bee hoon strides in with an unabashedly fiesty and peppery sass, taking absolutely no prisoners and instantly triggering ooohs of ardourous appreciation and approval from my dining companions. But for the fact that prawns beat clams any day, this would…
Claypot coconut tom yum soup from Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe. Wildly different from its more sadistic Red Tom Yum Soup sibling on the menu. The tom yum soup was robustly spicy yet at the same time sweet and not too milky, and I enjoyed the uncommon inclusion of coconut slices, which…
Thai walking catfish with spicy lemon soup from Spicy Thai-Thai Cafe. The spicy lemon soup was suitably sharp and spicy, and should sufficiently satisfy all heat-seekers.

Spring chicken from Arnold’s Fried Chicken. Essentially a one-way ticket to Facial Liu Sha Bao Station on the Fatsville Line but dang, it was an epic and memorable journey. The crispy and phenomenally tasty skin was the obvious star of the show, like KFC chicken skin undergone a flavour mega…
Roast duck in red curry with pineapple. The curry was decently rich and I loved the crunch factor from the vegetables thrown in the mix, although methinks the roast duck probably played a bit too much basketball under the February sun. 3.5/5 [Tasting courtesy of ParaThai.] ParaThai 11 Tanjong Katong…
Steamed seabass with lime and chilli. The indignant-looking seabass soaked in a homemade broth made using fresh lime juice, garlic, chilli, and spring onions among others. The broth was sharply tangy, enormously flavourful and easily the spiciest thing I had that night – two sips in, I was frankly dumbfounded…
Red Rubies served with Jackfruit and Coconut Milk. The rubies were essentially frosty, crunchy pearls that were enjoyably gnawable, but the jackfruit had much personality as Looi Sai Hiam from Class 4C in primary school. 3.3/5⠀ [Tasting courtesy of ParaThai.] ParaThai 11 Tanjong Katong Road #02-23 OneKM Mall Singapore 437157
