I was doing some reading up on legendary chef Marco Pierre White recently.
Marco Pierre White might not be as well-known as, say, Gordon Ramsay, but he was actually the chef that trained Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal, among others, to become the celebrity chefs that they are today.
Marco Pierre White was also the first and [...]

There’s Just Something So Fascinating About Free Cookies
Tuesday, 13 November, 2007
I was at SM Motors with my dad recently one fine afternoon after lunch, looking at some of the Volvos on display.
Well, he did most of the car-looking. I was mainly checking out the cool amenities, like say the cafeteria.
The amenities at many car showrooms at Alexandra Road, especially the higher-end brands such as the BMWs, [...]
The “Pseudo Queue Strategy”
Wednesday, 17 October, 2007
Have you ever visited a hawker centre for the first time, and were busy trying to decide what to eat?
And you look around, and you see a stall with a very long queue and you go “Ah, that must be one of the best beef kway teow stalls in S’pore…just look at the queue!” And [...]

Y’know, VivoCity is fast becoming one of [...]
I Wouldn’t Go Back To 2Hot Cafe @ VivoCity
Saturday, 20 January, 2007
Y’know, I don’t usually do this, but I feel that as a consumer, I am entitled to my opinion on what I think of certain restaurants…even if that opinion is really bad.
Hence today, I’ll give my rather unfavourable review of a restaurant I just had dinner at earlier tonight.
As always, I will try to be [...]
Lunch @ Buko Nero
Monday, 18 December, 2006
I had lunch at Buko Nero (which means “a hole in the wall”) last Friday, as recommended by my lovely foodie colleague who made the reservation and brought me there together with a few other wide-eyed colleagues.
If it were not for her, I would never have known about this restaurant, which serves Italian-Asian-fusion kind of [...]
