Maison Ikkoku Cafe

Maison Ikkoku is a new Cafe/Boutique/Bar on Kandahar Street, Singapore. It is another welcome introduction to the hip Kampong Glam area.
The interior is really cool, designed by their in-house designer. Maison Ikkoku means 'house of the moment' so the design reflects pausing moments in time. The furniture suspended from the ceiling is the best example of this big idea, with the rest of the furniture appearing on the second floor mens boutique as if it is falling through the building.
The owners are well travelled and this is reflected in their exceptional food quality and the flat white Coffee was the best I have tasted in Singapore.

THE Hot Chocolate Shop!

I used to live in Windsor, UK and just across the bridge from Eton is a little Cafe, the Chocolate Theatre Cafe and I love it!

Every week I used to visit. I have always wondered what Roy the owner thinks of me, because each week I would have a new friend, date, relative, work colleague with me, someone new to introduce to the Hot Chocolates and any excuse for me to indulge in another!

5 years on and when I am back in the UK I always go to visit.

You must try one of their extensive range of Hot Chocolates, accompanied by a breakfast, soup, platter or Sandwich, plus if you too have a ultra-sweet-tooth, then treat yourself to one of the incredible homemade cakes and pastries.

I found this little video on you tube...

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...

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.

Cafe On Kohi, Kohimarama, Auckland

This place was amazing! I was so impressed.

We stubbled across Cafe on Kohi whilst on a design trip to New Zealand. The Cafe/Restaurant is located in Mission Bay.

We were there for Brunch and the large variety of food on offer was only bettered by the excellent quality of ingredients and impeccable service.

I had the Eggs Benedict, with spinach and grilled portobello mushrooms.

If you are ever in Auckland it is a must!

Not a bad view too!
