Hello there,

It’s the end of the year and I hope that you are enjoying every single bit of the festivities that have just passed or are approaching soon!

I am (already) off for a short break in the US; I can’t wait to share with you some of my touristy attractions and epicurean adventures in the States!

I have posts scheduled every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1130hrs (GMT+8) until I return in January 2011!

In the meantime, for your essential food blog reads, do visit my favourite blogs.

K-ki

K-ki - Emily and Tiramisu - HungryEpicurean - Singapore Food Blog

I had first blogged on K-ki in early 2010, February to be exact and it has remained one of my top choices for cakes in Singapore. I continue to stand by to all the comments that I made of their cakes then – that itself is testament to their ability to consistently churn out cakes of quality, and not letting fame get to their heads.

Some bloggers have been commenting on their latest creations recently – Emily (S$9) and Tiramisu (S$9) and I thought it has been a while since I paid them a visit, so why not? Delphine, the affable lady boss a.k.a. lao ban niang commented that it must have been at least 5 months since I last visited.

Did I like the colourful cousin of the Kinabalu or K-ki’s rendition of the Italian classic? Read on to find out more! Read more

Max Brenner Chocolates

Max Brenner - HungryEpicurean - Singapore Food Reviews

A chocolate souffle, as I have come to be acquainted with, is one in a ramekin where it rises with a soft centre. So, you can’t blame me for wondering why this was called a souffle instead of a molten chocolate cake.

In any case, for purposes for this entry, Max Brenner’s Chocolate Souffle (S$16++), was rather good! The cake came out with a perfectly molten center and the ice cream served on the sides was a welcome addition.

Pamplemousse Bar and Bistro

Pamplemousse Bar and Bistro - HungryEpicurean - Singapore Food Blog

I first heard of Pamplemousse when it was featured on the newspapers and have always wanted to visit it since. Pamplemousse is a cosy little restaurant in Dempsey that offers French food at affordable prices. I like its concept of offering only set menus instead of an ala-carte menu.

Lunch is a 3 course affair at $32++ while Dinner is a bit more elaborate – either a 6 course Chef’s menu at $98++., or a Prix Fixe menu (2 courses at $48++ and 3 courses at $58++)

I seldom touch on the decor of the restaurants that I visit, but on this occasion, I thought why not! I like the decor of the restaurant – it isn’t anywhere opulent or grandiose, but it has this certain charm to the place that makes this place a welcome change from the run-of-the-mill fine dining restaurant. Perhaps it’s the “high-ish” ceiling, perhaps it’s the display tables with ornaments. Read more

Hong Kong: Tim Ho Wan

Hong Kong - Tim Ho Wan - World's cheapest 1-Michelin star

If there is one thing that I miss from Hong Kong – it has got to be the avaibility of excellent dim sum! Choices are available, seemingly at every corner of the island to suit any budgets. On the one hand you have Man Wah and Lung King Heen etc. for Michelin-starred (and expensive) dim sum and on the other you have traditional tea houses like Lin Heung.

For those of you who get to have dim sum at the likes of Man Wah, lucky you; For the rest of us, Tim Ho Wan is here! Read more
