A Gastrorgasmic Food Guide to Bangkok
There are few cities in the world that I personally think could rival Singapore as foodie paradise in terms of value and variety. Bangkok, admittedly, is one of them. We spent a weekend there and left feeling like we want to go back every other weekend because every meal we had was absolutely delicious! Here are some of our recommendations on what to eat in Bangkok.

Chef Mudana’s Cooking Class in Sanur | Review
Warning: Chef Mudana’s cooking class will change Balinese food for you. Forever. Not in a bad way, of course. More of a I-can’t-believe-Balinese-food-can-taste-so-good-what-have-I-been-eating-all-this-time sorta way. On our previous trips to Bali, we’d eaten at restaurants that served excellent European and Australian fare, but attempts to search for authentic Balinese food always ended in disappointment. It then occurred to us that we could right this wrong by learning how to cook balinese food instead. Being typical Singaporeans, we were sold on Chef Mudana’s cooking class in Sanur once we saw the rave reviews on Tripadvisor in addition to his impressive experience as a chef in 5-star restaurants in Perth and Hokkaido. It also helped that he…

Ahoy New York Food Tour – Why It’s Not Just a Food Tour | Review
To be absolutely honest, I had some reservations about how much I would learn on the Ahoy New York Food Tour. After all, I’d lived in NYC for 4 years and pretty much spent every other weekend roaming the streets of Chinatown in search for legit dimsum, Singaporean comfort food and groceries. As for Little Italy, I didn’t care much for it after my first year because it seemed full of touristy restaurants that didn’t serve very authentic food. There were much better Italian options you could find in hole-in-the-wall eateries in the East Village. So what could the Ahoy New York food tour through Little Italy and Chinatown teach…

A Gastrorgasmic Food Guide to Tokyo
What to Eat in Tokyo In a land where even the consumption of fast food (think: Yoshinoya and Mos Burger) can bring tears of joy to one’s eyes, I dare say that finding a bad meal in Japan is actually a challenge. But with so many options, where would you even begin? Over a weekend in Tokyo, we found some amazing gems and are so excited to share them with you in our gastrorgasmic food guide to Tokyo! Sushi Ya Ginza To truly experience the beauty of Japanese food, I honestly believe an omakase experience is essential. Omakase essentially means chef’s choice, where the chef will put together a medley…

Where to Find the Best Beef Noodles in Taipei
Warning: This will make you hungry. You know a city takes its beef noodles seriously when they actually organise an ANNUAL FESTIVAL to celebrate this culinary tradition and decide on which restaurant is deserving of the claim that they have the best beef noodles in the city. To the husband’s horror, I made it my mission to find out what the hype was about and try out as many beef noodles as possible in that week. Sadly, I didn’t break any crazy record and had my plans thwarted when I fell sick in the middle of the trip. Till this day though, the husband still blames my sickness on the stubborn insistence…

Review: Violet Oon’s Kitchen
So, I just had one of my best meals of the year at Violet Oon’s Kitchen. I’m not even kidding. My gastrorgasm levels are off the charts now because every dish was So. Damn. Good. But I always tell ET that it’s important not to raise expectations when gushing about food so I wanna set a disclaimer that this could have been due to a variety of factors: 1) we were famished from only having had breakfast, 2) we didn’t have any expectations and didn’t even consult Hungrygowhere 3) maybe even groupthink because we were bouncing off each other’s happiness In any case, I will try my best to objectively…
