Two of my favourite roast duck place in London are Gold Mine Restaurant (above) & Four Seasons and both are a few meters apart in Bayswater. As far as I know Gold Mine has only 1 outlet in London while Four Seasons has three – Chinatown, Wardour Street & Bayswater.
We visited both restaurant and surprisingly, their roast duck smells and tastes as good or even better than what we could get here in Singapore.

The excitement that filled my body was evident days leading to the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony.
We had lunch at Rosso Pomodoro on our last day in Florence. Rosso Pomodoro is a chain of restaurant with over 80 outlets worldwide, but because of the negative connotation often associated with “restaurant chains”, we were a little bit apprehensive for a moment until we were re-assured by a real Italian homemaker.

In a few hours time, I will be attending the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics. I flew half-way across the globe from Manila just for this moment and of course, subsequently the games, and the side tours and not to forget – the food!
We thank the signora at our fabulous hotel – Hotel Colomba for recommending Trattoria San Lorenzo to us. Our dinner was one the most memorable meal we had while we were in Florence.
Forty Hands is a cafe located just opposite the Open Door Policy (ODP) in Tiong Bahru. We noticed it has always been packed with people during the few times that we were around the area so we decided to check it out for ourselves.
You might be wondering – Is there such a thing? A “high-end” gelato?. I was pretty much amazed myself when I read about Grom just before our visit and then “aha!”. Read More…
I had no clue whatsoever that California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) at the Forum Mall underwent a renovation until yesterday. I actually liked the new version better than the old one.
Even how much I love the sandwiches and soups at the Marmalade Toast in Ngee Ann City (Takashimaya), I rarely remember it’s existence especially when I am too engrossed with my shopping.
I am blogging my latest visit to the Marmalade Toast because I want to remember this cafe and, I want it permanently engraved into my subconscious.
