About this blog

Singapore
Singapore is a melting pot of cultures from all over the world. This rare mix of 5 million people in an area the size of London, has lead to a vast array of culinary experiences. As a bit of a foodie, I plan on experiencing as much of this as possible! Plus, as a designer I will be capturing any creative or just intriguing products, packaging and retail outlets I see a long my journey. Enjoy.

New Graze Restaurant, Martin Road, Robinson Quay


Great breakfast/brunch, all in one hot iron pan. Top Breakfast! Must return to explore the menu a bit further...

Quán Ăn Ngon, Vietnam




On a recent visit to Ho Chi Minh City, we stopped off for lunch at Quán Ăn Ngon. Great setting, a tree covered garden square, with a surrounding kitchen and BBQ. The menu was great value, with a large variety of dishes. The dishes we ordered tasted fantastic, full of fresh Vietnamese ingredients. I had the Bun Bo Xao Xa. We managed to get a table at Lunch time, however, a local told us we were lucky to get in, so be sure to book in advance.

Frog


Whilst in China town, on our Tuesday bank holiday to celebrate Buddha's Birthday, I thought I would try something new... Live Frog Stir-fried with ginger and spring onion.

The meat tasted really good, nicely flavored by the ginger and onion. The only problem was finding the meat! We had a frog each and there was about a tablespoons worth of meat. I recommend getting at least 2/3 each if you are expecting it to be a meal.


Washed down with some flowering jasmine tea.

Hard Rock Cafe, Las Vegas





Whilst on a recent trip to Las Vegas, in between drinking, I managed to squeeze in a meal at a classic American venue, Hard Rock Cafe. It did not disappoint, loud rock music, over enthusiastic staff, massive portions and your RDA on a plate!

I went for the BBQ pulled Pork and BBQ spare ribs combo, with fries and coleslaw obviously.

It tasted great, but I had to turn down a trip to the Cheese Cake Factory after such as feast.
