* This review was posted on my food blog and reposted here for your reading pleasure 😀 * Did you know that earlier this year, Jiang Nan Chun had a renovation? They unveiled their new look sometime in February, just in time for the Lunar New Year. We must have been too busy with our … Continue reading
I dunno what’s up with my body these days – I must have swallowed a timer by accident in Korea or something, cos I keep getting hungry automatically every 4 hours. I kid you not. Even now as I type this at 11pm, my tummy’s growling cos I had my dinner at 6+pm, and it’s totally … Continue reading
I really don’t know what’s come over me these days – I’m perpetually hungry. Maybe since it’s almost Spring, so the sluggish bear inside me is coming out of hibernation and gradually awakening and preparing for the new year. I’m normally not a strong buffet person (taking into account my seafood allergy as well as … Continue reading
I’m always a fan of the period from December to March – Dec has that many holidays as well as the festive mood, January sees my motivation levels shoot through the roof, and February is totally the season of love with Valentine’s day as well as hate from the relatives who have all their targets … Continue reading
Now we may not have the traditional of drinking egg nog in this country (I honestly have never tried it in my life!), but we do adhere to certain Christmas traditions, such as stuffing our faces. Yes, we in Singapore know our food. Which is why I know this giveaway will totally rock your socks, … Continue reading
I don’t usually do food reviews, but hey, a girl has to eat to sustain herself ya’know? Eating lipsticks can only get me that far hurhurhur. Since it’s a nice cooling day (what with the morning storm), I’m currently having a major must-eat-everything craving, and I’ve decided to inflict this upon you 😀 Commence the … Continue reading
Can anyone say “finally?!” Popular Japanese brand Orbis is finally available in Singapore! The brand, better known for its 100% Oil-free concept (very happy about this since I have plenty of oil to spare) and home shopping in Japan (and which also won them the best service award 3 years in a row!) was launched amidst … Continue reading
Now I’ve always been more of a noodle than rice person – I guess I like it longer hurhurhur. But that aside, I really do enjoy noodles, be it Japanese ramen, Korean ramyeon or Chinese lamian. I attended this food event a couple of weeks back at Bugis+ (the former Iluma). The Ultimate Ramen Champion … Continue reading
Sorry I’ve been kinda quiet for the last few days – as you know, I have integrity when it comes to blogging, so I make it a rule blog everyday, unless I’m overseas or I’m sick (or dead for that matter, but choy, touch wood). I’ve been down with gastroenteritis (tis tis tis tis this … Continue reading

In my entire life, I’ve only been slapped once, and that was by my dad when I was an impertinent 8-year-old brat. I daresay I deserved it. Hah. Last week, I got slapped again – by the sands of Jeju beaches. I kid you not – the winds were so strong that they’d blow along … Continue reading
Several months back, Singapore’s flagship carrier SIA had a crazy cheap promotion for tickets to Seoul – I think it was about $600ish, versus the usual $800+ for a ticket. That’s why so many people are heading to Korea these few months. My money went to Korean Air though, since my lifelong goal is to … Continue reading
It’s a known fact that I’m a sucker for packaging – if it glitters, I like it. If it’s cute, I love it. If it’s animal preens, out comes my wallet. Sigh. Last week, I attended the DHC re-branding event, and zomg, it was cuteness overload (although I would expect nothing less from the top … Continue reading
My good ole Aussie gal friend (not girlfriend) returned after a two month sojourn to the United States and we both wanted to catch up for a drink. Now, she wanted to do cocktails but I am more of a wine person (specifically, red wine and even more specifically anything but Shiraz), so we decided … Continue reading
My name is Ejube. Ejube Kashineiro. I was given a dirty proposal by my cousin last weekend as we were trudging along to our Saturday morning exercise torture session. “Let’s make food porn on my website!” she screamed while bouncing excitedly up and down as our train pulled into Seng Kang station. The cabin fell … Continue reading
When on holidays, I morph into an eating monster – I must have all my meals, or else I’ll have no energy to do the countless and needless shopping sprees. Here’s one of my favourite breakfast places in Myeong Dong. This is a very plain building located in Myeong Dong, somewhere towards the end of … Continue reading
I grew up in the 1980s, and during those times, things were cheap. 10 cents could get us 3 Hack’s sweets Image taken from Chris These days, 10 cents don’t get you jack shit, not in Singapore. In fact, I don’t remember the last time I even bought something substantial for 50 cents. Therefore, in … Continue reading
I love and hate media tasting sessions. On one hand, there’s free food.. oh so glorious free food, and we get to taste everything on the menu. Plus, because the food is usually prepared with muchhh better care and the service staff are majorly attentive. On the other hand, there’s the emotional guilt of not … Continue reading
When he was young, my brother loved egg tarts so much that he once ate 6-8 at a go. And then he had a huge tummy upset and never ate egg tarts again. He’s never been able to live it down in front of me since one of my nicknames for him is “Egg egg”.”Egg boy” or “Tart … Continue reading
Contrary to popular belief, journalists don’t count their calories. Well, not among the CLEO girls anyway. Among all the freebies we used to receive in the CLEO office, food was actually our favourite. Yes, imagine the joy we feel when we see/smell steaming hot food being delivered while we bang furiously at our keyboard in … Continue reading
