Some friends have been seeking recommendations on food delivery services in Singapore. Happily, I just discovered DEALivery.sg, where you can order your food online from several restaurants and have it delivered right to your doorstep. The cuisines span a wide range, including Asian, Mediterranean, European and Halal. My family and I decided to try out the service this past Sunday. The dining establishment we picked was Hui Wei, a Thai-Chinese […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/hui-wei/feed/ 3 https://sparklette.net/food/thai-to-go/ https://sparklette.net/food/thai-to-go/#comments Mon, 19 Mar 2012 04:29:09 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1319

I realise that we have never really reviewed food delivery services here except for the occasional cupcakes and tea. Recently, my whole family got together for a casual meal and we decided to order in. The food delivery we chose was Thai to Go. It’s our first time trying out this Thai food delivery service. The 6 dishes we ordered arrived within 90 minutes, piping hot and ready to be […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/thai-to-go/feed/ 10 https://sparklette.net/food/kha/ https://sparklette.net/food/kha/#comments Fri, 22 Jul 2011 03:00:14 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1195

Patrons of Kha, formerly at HortPark, will rejoice at the news that the award-winning Thai restaurant has reopened at Martin No. 38. Not only can you look forward to tasting the most popular items from its former venue, the restaurant has also rolled out an array of authentic Thai creations by its team of Thai chefs.

With two restaurants located at the housing estates of Bedok North and Hougang, Nakhon Kitchen is no stranger to hungry diners craving for Thai cuisine. Operated fully by Thais, it’s no wonder that they live up to their slogan of serving “authentic Thai cuisine”. Arriving at about 7pm at Nakhon Kitchen Bedok, we join the queue that has formed. While in the line, menus are passed around and our orders […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/nakhon-kitchen/feed/ 11 https://sparklette.net/food/coffee-stars-by-dao/ https://sparklette.net/food/coffee-stars-by-dao/#comments Fri, 01 Jul 2011 03:00:10 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1181

With coffee outlets located all over the world, including major cities like New York, Beijing and Tokyo, the Coffee Stars by Dao chain from Thailand has opened its first branch in Singapore. Known as Coffee Beans by Dao in Thailand, the café-restaurant at Wisma Atria is its first outlet in South-East Asia outside of its home country. The café sports an open concept with a casual, yet elegant design and […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/coffee-stars-by-dao/feed/ 1 https://sparklette.net/food/joes-thai-kitchen/ https://sparklette.net/food/joes-thai-kitchen/#comments Tue, 28 Jun 2011 03:00:28 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1176

Cloistered away at Alexandra Village, Joe’s Kitchen Thai Cuisine‘s modest front may not impress anyone at first sight. The dozens of press clippings and photographs of its celebrity clientèle that proudly grace its glass façade will definitely elicit a second look from passers-by. Chef-owner Joe, a Thai himself, and his wife, Jamie, satisfy their patrons with familiar Thai specialties. The humble eatery is a short walking distance away from the […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/joes-thai-kitchen/feed/ 3 https://sparklette.net/contest/hotel-re-set-meal-winners/ https://sparklette.net/contest/hotel-re-set-meal-winners/#respond Tue, 22 Mar 2011 14:20:18 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1104

Hotel Re! occupies the unique location on Pearl’s Hill formerly inhabited by a primary school. Boasting a retro theme, the refurbished boutique hotel offers a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

In this era where going green is becoming the latest fad around the world, vegetarian and organic cuisines are undergoing a tremendous change and evolution. There are more than 500 vegetarian establishments in Singapore and the number is still growing! I believe nowhere in the world can we find so many vegetarian eateries within such a small island. To discover the beauty of vegetarian food, here is a list of […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/vegetarian-restaurants/feed/ 12 https://sparklette.net/food/porns-thai-restaurant/ https://sparklette.net/food/porns-thai-restaurant/#comments Mon, 04 Oct 2010 04:00:28 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1013

Good food sells. So does star power. Pair the two together and you’ve got a winning formula to drawing in the crowd. The never-ending line of customers at Porn’s, the suggestively-named Thai restaurant at Liang Seah Street is testament to that fact. Popular Singapore TV host Pornsak Prajakwit‘s venture into the restaurant business has attracted both fans and curious onlookers alike. According to the eatery’s young waitresses, their reservations are […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/porns-thai-restaurant/feed/ 31 https://sparklette.net/travel/thailand/11-gallery-sukhumvit-bangkok/ https://sparklette.net/travel/thailand/11-gallery-sukhumvit-bangkok/#comments Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:38:43 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=899

If you are looking for a memorable dining experience in Bangkok, head to 11 Gallery in Sukhumvit. The moment you enter the restaurant, it is as though you have walked through the gateway to old world Thailand. The waitress, clad in traditional Thai clothing with the sabai (shoulder cloth) ushers you in. You have the choice of outdoor seating amongst greenery, or indoor at the old wooden houses.

Siam Square is an area that appeals to tourists and locals alike with its eclectic mix of shops and boutiques that sell local designer-label apparel. When it comes to chow time, aside from the big players like the Bangkok Hard Rock Café, you can also choose from small café-restaurants like Koko. Koko is a Thai eatery that caters to vegan palates, with a sprinkling of meat dishes. Most importantly, they […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/thailand/koko-siam-square-bangkok/feed/ 13 https://sparklette.net/food/lerk-thai-3/ https://sparklette.net/food/lerk-thai-3/#comments Thu, 01 Jan 2009 14:02:34 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=808

Happy 2009 everyone! I’ve been waiting a long while to say this: I’m finally going to Bangkok! By this time tomorrow I would be having a nice sumptuous dinner in the Land of Smiles, followed by some cheap drinks at a pub. This is a city I’m very fond of. It’s where I chose to make my first solo trip back in ’04. And now, no amount of chaos or […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/lerk-thai-3/feed/ 16 https://sparklette.net/food/lerk-thai-2/ https://sparklette.net/food/lerk-thai-2/#comments Tue, 22 Apr 2008 12:09:40 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/lerk-thai-2/

One of my all-time favourite vacation spots is Thailand, a country with a rich culture, friendly people and colourful cuisine. Even while in Singapore, I let myself indulge in Thai cuisine once in a while just to relive the fond memories. Recently I had the chance to enjoy some great and affordable food at Lerk Thai. The Lerk Thai restaurant that I patronised was the branch at the new Changi […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/lerk-thai-2/feed/ 6 https://sparklette.net/food/lerk-thai/ https://sparklette.net/food/lerk-thai/#comments Fri, 12 May 2006 05:22:18 +0000 http://sparklette.net/wordpress/?p=377

I was craving for Thai food just the other day, and managed to get my fix at Lerk Thai. Out of all the Thai restaurants I have eaten at, Lerk Thai seems to serve the most delicious food! Thai Coffee S$2++ Rating: Had me a cup of Thai coffee, which was a-okay. In my opinion, the best coffee is still the ones sold at neighbourhood kopi tiam (coffee shop).
