Brat’s special. It’s the kind of place you would take someone if you really wanted to impress them but look effortless doing so, sort of like the no-makeup makeup look? I can’t even pinpoint what I loved about it: was it the food, the vibe, or the company? Perhaps all three. But this is a…

The most amazing sandos
Wow. Where do I even begin – I’ve just had the most amazing katsu sandos of my life. Because seeing is believing: From left to right: ebi katsu, tamago katsu, pork katsu sandos! These beauts are from Esora, which I brought Tdy for his birthday previously. They do a kaiseki that is based on the…
A Tale of Two Steaks
November is always the most extravagant month of the year, and this year is no exception (ain’t gonna let 2020 get in the way of my no holds barred November!!). I got to try two new steak places this month: Keef the Beef and Wolfgang’s! First: Wolfgang’s. Not to be mistaken for Wolfgang Puck’s steakhouse,…
Bangkok: Raan Jay Fai
Coming out of my hiatus for this particular place, just because we had spent so much effort trying to dine there. We were in Bangkok mid-July because our friends managed to get an elusive reservation at Jay Fai (which needs no introduction, obviously). I kept bugging Tdy everyday as to whether we should go or…
Bangkok: Mother May I
I didn’t have any expectations coming into here – I just knew it was going to be picturesque and the ambience, really chill. Gotta say that this is the best dining spot this trip (in terms of price / ambience / food combined): set in a colonial bungalow with a patio for outdoor dining and…
Tokyo: My Favourites (aka a Beginner’s Guide to Tokyo)
One of my colleagues is heading to Tokyo shortly and I am insanely jealous – I love Tokyo! Immediately I think of certain things I want to go back and eat, which triggered this entry – what are the food that I will return to eat, time and again? Each of these foods are foods…
California dreamin’ (Part 4)
The last post on my Californian trip – finally? It was such a loooong trip of good food – and I think I have not lost all the weight I put on since California. This post continues from where the last left off and covers Palo Alto (very briefly) and San Francisco, the last city…
California dreamin’ (Part 3)
In terms of chronology, this should come immediately after post 1 on California – it should cover Malibu (very briefly), Santa Barbara, Monterey and Santa Cruz. We kept Miley Cyrus’ Malibu and Rita Ora’s Anywhere on repeat as we drove on the Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu towards Santa Barbara – Malibu is extremely pretty…
California dreamin’ (Part 1)
Trying to get this post in before the year ends because as usual, life has gotten the better of me and I haven’t been the best at posting. About a month ago, Tdy and I went to California and did a road trip from LA to San Francisco. We were incredibly fortunate to have experienced…
Bintan, Indonesia: a whirlwind getaway
About two weeks ago, Tdy and I were itching to go somewhere over the 1 July weekend. As tickets to Bangkok were astronomical, we settled on Bintan which was a mere 45min ferry ride away. We booked the cheapest room at Angsana Bintan, and counted down the days to our trip. While we booked our…
