Address: Miss G's Grill & Bar, 45 Pekin St, #44, Singapore 048775 Price: $30/pp We were looking for a place to have a quick dinner and one of my friend recommended this place. I always have doubt about bar food but this place is different. We ordered: 1. Cold Truffle Somen with Hotate - 10/10 I was skeptical at first but one mouth is all it takes to change my mind. The dish had so many layers to it that every bite is heavenly. I highly recommend trying - the truffle taste it strong but pleasant. 2. Baja fish taco - 10/10 fish batter was light and airy and it gave a nice crunch while the meat inside is soft, tender and juicy. 3. Prawn Gyozas - 6/10 I would skip this, however my friend would recommend it. It subject to individual taste but I personally feel that it has room to elevate the gyoza - to include some texture and balance in terms of flavours. 4. The drinks here are on the pricer end. Overall a great place to hang out with friends after work. It can get very busy quickly around 6-7pm on the friday so be sure to make a reservation or try your luck by walking in earlier. #singapore

You know how you can smell a LUSH store from faraway? Well, you also won’t miss the irresistible bread aroma wafting out of @prooferboulangerie shops🤤 One of their many outlets is super near my office, so I popped by for a takeaway lunch. They have all sorts of sweet pastries, savoury buns, and even a pizzeria right beside 🍕 While I was trying to make up my mind, I could see the baker hard at work preparing fresh bread behind the counter 👨‍🍳 My favourite was definitely the purple yam bun (yay I grabbed the last one 🙌🏻) It had a chewy mochi texture in the middle and still tasted delicious the next day when I had it for breakfast ☀️ ✨ 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 @𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚.𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨.𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬𝙨 📍 Proofer Boulangerie (One Raffles Place) 1 Raffles Place, #b1-36/37, Singapore 048616 (Raffles Place MRT exit D) #foodie #singapore #bread

#mustdo #omakase #japanese #skillful #interactivedining If you are working around the CBD area, try going for an Omakase dining experience at Cho Omakase. What is different here compared to dining at normal Japanese restaurant is that each food item is served right before you, with the chef making delicate pieces of sushi, for instance in front of you if you get the counter seats. For 8 courses, expect different taste sensations as you get to enjoy items ranging from seafood, oyster, fish, tofu, ice cream etc. Lunch sets are available starting from $78++. Address Cho Omakase 63 Chulia Street #01-03 Along Philips Street Singapore 049514

#mustdo Barry’s Singapore Address: 18 Robinson Rd, #03-03, Singapore 048547 There are so many options and Barry’s Singapore is one of the nicer places to head out for a workout. It is going to be tough so be mentally prepared for what you are going for. It is a bootcamp kind of fitness centre, doing HIIT workout in a small group. It is a medium to high intensity workout and it is not going to be easy. The lights at the studio are tinted for example, the red room whereby the lights are red and loud music is playing in the background to get your adrenaline pump up. After workout, head over to their Fuel Bar and try out their smoothies.

#staycation Arcade Fish soup Address: 11 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049317 Nearest MRT: Raffles Place MRT Exit A This is a popular place for lunch and I always come over whenever I staycation at The Fullerton Hotel or The Fullerton Bay Hotel. If you are coming from The Fullerton Hotel, you can either use the underground walkway or cross the traffic lights at Bank of China. If you are coming from the Fullerton Bay Hotel, you can use the overhead walkway from The Arcade, right outside The Fullerton Bay Hotel entrance. If you walk a bit further to the Customs House, you can use the escalator instead of stairs. During covid times, they also have delivery services but eating their fish soup will be best enjoyed in their shop. They have a variety of fish soup combinations for selection. Their grief garlic is a must and you can help yourself to it. Also, you can buy their fried garlic back too, in bottles for like $6 per bottle. Truth to be told, there had been some unglamorous news on this Arcade Fish soup about their hygiene level. But they are still having long queues everyday during lunch time.

#localhistory The Arcade Address: 11 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049317 Nearest MRT: Raffles Place MRT Exit A This is one of the gems in Raffles Place. For those who are working in Raffles Place will know of its existence, The Arcade. It is located right next to Raffles MRT exit A and you can buy lunch here at a cheaper price. Plus it is also the number 1 place in Singapore to exchange foreign currency. A quick check online shows: The Arcade was built in 1909 by the Alkaff family, has 3 levels of retail and 16 levels of office space. At their lift lobbies, it is also unique. You do not enter the lift then press your desired lift button. You will have to enter the level which you want to go before the lift assigns you which lift to enter. I agree, it is kind of confusing but trust me, there are more buildings adapting this concept. Pay a visit to The Arcade, change some foreign currency and have lunch here. You get to admire their architecture and immerse yourself into the atmosphere.

WaaCow! Always wanted to try the Beef Donburis at WaaCow! Had a chance to try it recently and it did not disappoint! ⠀ Ordered the Mentaiko Wagyu Beef Bowl, it came with a generous portion of the pink hued mentaiko sauce over the tender juicy singed wagyu beef.⠀Some pickles, chopped onion and a wobbly onsen egg topped the bowl together with a teaspoon of mentai𝗄o! 🤤 ⠀ Thought that it was worth the price considering it's quality and quantity! Every component was spot on from the beef right down to the pickles served at the side. To say the least, this was by far one of the best beef bowls I’ve ever had. Would definetly be back!😊 I'd recommend you to try it too! ⠀ Spent: $22.9+ Waa Cow!
