Bruno's Pizzeria and Grill

My favorite italian restaurant in the east.
A tiny little restaurant with no-frills decor serving hearty italian pastas and pizzas at affordable prices, hey whats not to like!

Squid Ink pasta with prawns - I love squid ink anything and this was especially good with a great punch of flavor

Seafood pizza with great chewy crust

Seafood risotto chockful with fresh plump scallops, mussels and sweet prawns. mmm

Beef which was the disappointment of the night - way too much sauce plus wilted salad and dry mash potatoes urgh. Stick to the pasta and pizzas

Jewel Cafe

Food here was pretty good!

Menu was asian-fusion whats not and may sound confusing but what we had were decidedly tasty and familiar.

The Umami Prawn Capellini - I am drawn to anything on that menu that describe itself as Umami. This pasta had a Japanese twist with bonito flakes, seaweed and roe. Nicee

Chilli crab linguine came complete with mantou, a tad too watery but heyyy mantou!

The surprising star of the meal was the apple crumble. Melt in your mouth butter crumbs with a dollop of good vanilla ice cream was the perfect sweet end to our meal

My Awesome Cafe

The signboard of My Awesome Cafe reads Telok Ayer Chung Hwa Free Clinic and the cafe is features cement screed floors, pipe lighting and metal chairs - in other words the kitsch hip cafe that I unironically love

The big breakfast with croissant, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and generous serving of avocado
Pretty average (I saw pictures online where the scrambled eggs looked incredibly creamy, too bad we didnt get those when we visited)

The awesome salad on the other hand was pretty awesome. Huge portion and very tasty, esp that duck rillette mmmm

The orchid garden in Jalan Kayu

If you turn just at edge of punggol, follow the dirt path pass the foreign workers' dormitory, take a left and go all the way in, you will reach an orchid farm.

Fate brought us to a bbq there, and we were welcomed with open arms by the owner - a warm and friendly uncle gifted with the greenest of fingers as demonstrated by the beautiful flowers around us.

I dont call myself a lover of flowers but these were just so beautiful. Rows and rows of healthy blooming orchids in all bright vibrant colors.

Such old school sights are becoming quite rare in Singapore, so lets all cherish what we have around us eh.

Lola's Cafe

The forever crowded Lola's cafe at Kovan, we popped by on a rainy evening for an early dinner and still had to queue.

Coffee and the popular wings. (You can get one-for-one coffee with the entertainer app!)

The honey paprika wings were sweet, crispy and altogether delicious. Although I felt that the flavor laid more in the skin and did not really penetrate the meat.

The mains were decent though nothing to shout about

Ending our meal with a decadent nutella tart mmm


Will come back to try the brunch menu, if only it wasnt so crowded

Mellben seafood @ pasir ris

Back to Mellben for more crabs! This time at pasir ris, which the eastie in me is deliriously happy about. (We dont have that much good food here in the east i.e. pasir ris, so must celebrate more)

Mellben in my opinion serves the sweetest crabs.

The signature crab bee hoon soup, rich thick soup filled of crab essence, remember to order extra soup because you are going to want more

The golden sand crab came in a luscious creamy buttery salted egg yolk sauce, soooo good.

And finally laksa crab with too much 'hum' , we went overboard and added too much, scaring even the waitresses there lol

Cholesterol overdose but ah we throw all health concerns out of the window with crabs this good.

Khun Mee Thai Noodle Bar

That was some pretty good thai noodles, a pity the egg was over-cooked. However the noodles were springy and the sauce tasty.

A decent rendition of my favorite som tum, this version has salted egg in it too!

Mango sticky rice - the mango wasnt as sweet as I would like but what can we expect, we are not in thailand eh

Overall I felt the food here was quite authentic and tasty, will definitely come back
