EATBOOKSG: ONLINE GUIDE FOR FOODIES IN SINGAPORE

January 17, 2018 by Little Miss Honey 403 Comments

One of the beauty of living in Singapore is that it is a food paradise for foodies like me. Singapore is not short of food choices for all palates. There is definitely something for you here. I have been living in Singapore for almost 6 years and I still haven’t tried every type of food that this little Red Dot has to offer. It can be tough to navigate the Singapore food maze due to the abundance of food choices. It can be hard to know if this food place is good or not good. Sometimes you need to rely on food reviews and recommendations.

I am glad I discovered EatBookSg. It is an online destination for food-lovers living in Singapore. It offers food reviews of restaurants & cafe, lists of food trends and the latest food news to keep foodies up-to-date, supported by creatively-shot videos and honest undercover reviews.

Writers of EatBookSg can also cook and whip out a yummy meal so they would give a perfectly-balanced food review. Their restaurants visited are often anonymous 90% of the time so they can provide a non-bias take on the food served, the ambience and the staff service. They would rate the place from 0-10 with 10 being the highest.

Why I love EatBookSg

I like how informative the site is but not boring. It is still fresh and hip, catering to the young and young-at-heart. The review of food places doesn’t sound pretentious. It feels like a comprehensive text message from a good friend giving a honest review of a restaurant. They provide google map location of the place, address, telephone number and the opening hours. The dishes reviewed come with its prices so those would be good know if you plan to visit the place. The summary of the review comes with its pros & cons portion and states their recommended dishes for that restaurant. I like how clear and high-quality the photos are in the site. I can’t help but feel very hungry when I browse their website.

Besides food reviews and food news, they also have a section for interviews on the person responsible for the food shop, food guides and Tiger street food.

I highly recommend this food review website for my fellow tiam-chiak kakis who are always in a search for a new food discovery. It is informative, current and honest – just what a foodie needs for a friend, a online friend that is.

CHECKIN’ OUT THE NEW AND IMPROVED MONTANA BREW CAFE

January 11, 2017 by Little Miss Honey 343 Comments

One evening of 2016, four blogger friends came out for a food tasting at the new and improved Montana Brew Bar. Miss Chocoholic invited me, Sweet Memoirs and DessertingBeauty for this fun foodtasting evening. Montana Brew is not foreign from us. Miss Chocoholic, DessertingBeauty and I had visited the cafe before in one of our planned cafehopping session. We had their famous instagrammable red velvet waffles. Because I liked the place and I wanted to try their savoury menu, I took my husband there for one of our date nights.

I was surprised to find that Montana Brew is located in two-storey (Level 1 & 2) with a bigger space to accommodate their growing customers instead on its previous space which was in Level 1 of PoMo.

The place has this modern industrial hip vibe with dim lights and abstract paintings on the wall. I particularly like their bar area in Level 1. There is bar counter with hanging light bulbs & plant holder and cushioned chairs with throw pillows.

Peking Duck Confit with Waffles

This chicken gives you a good variation of the Peking Duck. The herbs and spices marinating in the chicken was powerful and delicious. It comes with a delightful chilli sauce.It comes with two 1/4 soft waffles to balance the rich flavor of the chicken

Braised Beef Cheek with Carrot Kimchi

($20.80)

This is served with sweet potato and potato mash, egg and toast. The serving is good enough to be shared by two people. The beef was oh so tender. It has a heavy yummy sauce that ignite my tastebuds in delirium.

Crab Burger with Yuzu Coleslaw

($24.00)

I never liked the other carb burgers I have tasted before. But this one is an exemption. I like that it is in a crab & seafood patty and it doesn’t crumble off easily. I love the flavor and the yuzu coleslaw is great in it. I am happy it comes with fries because I believe burger and fries should always go together.

Spicy Chorizo Orechiette

($18.00)

I didn’t find this dish spicy at all. It is an interesting dish and I love the Spanish sausage which is star of the dish. It is drizzled by a generous amount of parmesan cheese and garlic breadcrumbs.

Matcha Black Sesame Freak Cakes

($14.80)

Montana Brew has a wonderful variety of hypnotic freak cakes. We got the Matcha Black Sesame with its beautiful green hue. There were matcha kitkats and pepero sticks strategically decorated in the delectable moist cake.

I urge everyone to come visit Montana Brew Bar. From their savoury to sweet dishes, they never disappoint.

BRUNCHIN’ AT DOVA MEGAWORLD

December 29, 2016 by Little Miss Honey 429 Comments

The holiday seasons often make me miss my hometown in the Philippines. Most probably because Iloilo reminds me of my family back home, my parents, my siblings, my niece and nephews…

I remembered the last time we went home, I was so impressed with the improvements of my city. There is this brunch place called Dova who is managed by the same people behind Afriques and Escas, that I particularly like. They have their first branch in Lapaz and has another bigger branch in Megaworld.

I totally love the interiors of this place. It is definitely is instagrammable. You wont be embarrassed to bring your friends from other cities there. Even their toilet is picture-perfect.

And the other good thing about this place is that not only do they provide a wonderful ambience for family and friends to get-together, they also have awesome, delicious brunch foods concocted by the talent chef, Miguel Cordova. You should try the French Toast, Pulled Pork Burger, Querida Burger and Spaghetti & Meatballs. I failed to take the prices of the dishes because I was enjoying myself too much, the blogger in me took a temporary vacation.

French Toast

This is a rich heavy meal perfect for sharing. It was cooked just right with a bit of crisp in the outside and soft in the inside. I love that you have the options of maple syrup and cream on the sides while your strawberry jelly, banana slices and confectionary sugar are generously slathered on top of it.

Pulled Pork Burger

This may not look like much but this is a great discovery for me. The pork is tender and flavorful. I couldnt get enough of it. The melted cheese sat well with the succulent pulled pork.

Querida Burger

If you were to just pick one dish in the menu to order, I suggest you go for this one. The patty is fat and juicy which so much flavor. It has bacon in it too. I have this everytime I visit Dova. Though the pulled pork is starting to be my favorite replacing this one.

Spaghetti & Meatballs

Dova is very generous with their servicing. This one is no exception. It can be shared by 2-3 people. This is more of an Italian spaghetti which a prefer than the Pinoy spaghetti. You get 3 big fat meatballs and lots of lots of parmesan cheese gratings on top.

Do check this place out, it is definitely a must try!
