(Chicago) – Give me sushi and sake, I’m in paradise; make it unlimited, I’m in heaven. Most of the all-you-can sushi places here are just mass producing sushi crap, as in very bad. But Shiroi Hana in Wriggleyville in Chicago serves …

(Chicago) – Given a choice between 2 restaurants serving same the type of food and with prices in the same range but one is buffet and the other is not, I know for a…

(Singapore) – This is one of my favorites in V’s menu. Definitely a must try! Angel Hair Pasta with Miso Cod…

(New York) -  It’s 11am and there’s already a 45-minute wait. It was a freaking Monday and not even lunch time yet! Well, if the food is good, I mean great, people will flock and wait no matter what.  That’s exactly what we did and we had a wonderful lunch at Ippudo. The soup is [...]

(Singapore) – My all-time favorite flatmates back in 2006 introduced me to a Japanese buffet restaurant at Suntec City Mall when I was still a newbie in the Singapore world of multi-cultural cuisines.  4 years later, here I am, going back to indulge in a variety of an all-Japanese buffet spread.  The sushi is nice [...]

(Chicago) – A few weeks ago, my friend Jeremy threw a fabulous housewarming party to showcase his newly renovated abode in Chicago.  I had seen his place even before the renovation started and I can say that the transformation was spectacular.  The hardwood floor is really neat and the kitchen, with all its new cabinetry, [...]

(Singapore) – For lunch breaks, we tend to go to the nearest place in our office – a hawker-style food court which serves local Singaporean cuisine.  Once in a while, our palates get tired of tasting the same dish everyday!  One of our new team mates introduced us to a nearby food court.  It’s not [...]

(Singapore) – Teriyakidon, Katsudon, Oyakudon, California Maki, Sushi – these delectable delights come into mind when you crave for Japanese cuisine.  Never have we thought that there’s such a thing as a Japanese Casual Pasta & Café Restaurant where they serve superb thinly-thin crust pizza filled with cheese and the works!  They also have creamy [...]
