Shahi Maharani North Indian Restaurant
Fine Indian restaurant Shahi Maharani has a loyal following. And it’s easy to see why. Their food is top-notch, the service professional and polite, and the ambience charming, with live Indian classical music six nights a week. We decided to pop by for their ever-popular lunchtime buffet. We were not disappointed. From the salad starters, […]
Maccheroni
It’s always been challenging for the tenant of this cozy restaurant space above The Dubliner to make things work well. While this building is a gorgeous colonial structure, it doesn’t have easy parking. The pub is big enough to pull customers in, but a small restaurant upstairs has to offer something special, which Maccheroni needs […]
Wasabi Tei
We’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place—that the scrumptious food is reasonably priced and that the chef and waitress duo have notoriously fiery tempers. So in true foodie spirit, we decided to check things out. This small Japanese food joint (it seats only about 16) with its understated shop front contrasted with […]

Feast@East Buffet Restaurant
If you’re in the East Coast area and feeling ravenous, this hotel buffet restaurant is certainly worth checking out. You get a veritable feast of local dishes, along with a salad bar and a Thai-themed starter station with various cold dishes. While the salad bar selection could be improved, the Thai starters were very good—especially […]
Tao’s Restaurant
We can see why Singaporeans would love this place. This Taiwan restaurant serves up affordable six-course and seven-course meals with quirky fusion dishes. Starters include soups like winter melon, pumpkin and mushroom; while mains include dishes like grilled chicken, fish, pasta and slow-cooked pork ribs. But the inconsistent quality of the food, and being unable […]
Oomphatico’s
With its English tea party setting, this is definitely a place for chick eats. Its menu, which serves “passion food”, is a zany mish-mash of Thai, Italian, organic, Zen and finger food—think breakfast pancakes, salads, sandwiches, gluten-free pastas and pizzas. There are also loads of fresh juices, smoothies and cocktails. We started off with the […]
Scrumptious Café
This little “café and more” in the slightly run-down Turf City. If you’re not a kid-lover, think twice before dropping by on weekends, because we found loads of children here (they have storytelling sessions) and the noise level is high. Parents will find this place a godsend (there’s a kiddie play area and a nail […]
12×12 Café
This little concept café is a dream come true for all busy, fussy and health-conscious peeps (read: Everybody). It sets out to provide a “balanced meal equation” for any time of the day or night. And the food is wonderfully healthy, inventive and most importantly, tasty. We loved the fitballs (think healthy, yummy riceballs), the […]
