Fish and chips is to the British what the burger is to Americans. At The Queen & Mangosteen British restobar in VivoCity, the deep-fried fishy dish is unsurprisingly the best-selling item. Unlike the traditional fish and chips, this dish comes with a twist. What is it? Read on to find out! The first thing that strikes you about The Queen & Mangosteen is probably its memorable name. So how did […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/queen-and-mangosteen/feed/ 13 https://sparklette.net/food/the-cookie-museum/ https://sparklette.net/food/the-cookie-museum/#comments Thu, 04 Mar 2010 09:42:39 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=941

At this museum, an entry pass is not required. All you need is a love for tea and cookies. I am referring to The Cookie Museum, of course. This place was formerly known as The V Tea Room, where V probably stood for Victorian. Each time I walk past this tea lounge at the Esplanade, I can’t help but slow down for a better look. The quaint Victorian theme is […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/the-cookie-museum/feed/ 15 https://sparklette.net/travel/thailand/offshore-sukhumvit-bangkok/ https://sparklette.net/travel/thailand/offshore-sukhumvit-bangkok/#comments Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:16:03 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=897

On a recent trip to Bangkok, I stayed in the Sukhumvit area and visited what is perhaps the best-known chippy in Bangkok – The Offshore. It is situated in Soi Cowboy, the red-light district in Sukhumvit that is notorious for its strip bars and risque shows. The Offshore first started out as a bar, and expanded into the fish-and-chips business with a unit next door. I may be wrong, but […]]]> https://sparklette.net/travel/thailand/offshore-sukhumvit-bangkok/feed/ 28 https://sparklette.net/food/sentosa-club-islander/ https://sparklette.net/food/sentosa-club-islander/#comments Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:22:04 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=867

Back in my university days, Sentosa island was almost like my second home. A few times each week I would hit the beach for a sunbathing session. I even had that special islander pass that bestows upon its holder the power of unlimited queue-free access to the island. So while my course mates were dozing off in the air-conditioned lecture theatres, I was dozing off on a mat under the […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/sentosa-club-islander/feed/ 21 https://sparklette.net/food/pret-a-manger/ https://sparklette.net/food/pret-a-manger/#comments Thu, 04 Jan 2007 14:15:56 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/pret-a-manger-chickens-involved-pigs-committed/

Pret a Manger is a chain of trendy sandwich bars from Britain that make fresh sandwiches in-house daily. The name is in French, which means “ready to eat”. Some time last year, pret opened its first outlet in Singapore. Strategically based along Robinson Road, Pret is a hot spot for office workers that are too busy to sit down for a meal. People in a hurry can simply pop by […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/pret-a-manger/feed/ 16 https://sparklette.net/food/eclectic-attic/ https://sparklette.net/food/eclectic-attic/#comments Mon, 04 Dec 2006 12:44:16 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/tea-cosy-eclectic-attic-vintage-experience/

Many people that pass by Tea Cosy may not notice the café inside this vintage store. As always, there’s more than meets the eye! Tea Cosy holds many precious European antiques and collectibles. A walk through the store takes you back to the dreamy Victorian ages. If you need a cup of tea to complement your experience, you may do so at the in-store bistro, tea cosy. At tea cosy, […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/eclectic-attic/feed/ 8 https://sparklette.net/food/chippy-british-take-away/ https://sparklette.net/food/chippy-british-take-away/#comments Sun, 16 Jul 2006 14:40:46 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=423

Okay okay, I know I’m a little late in this. This was only my first time eating from Chippy British Take Away. I was window shopping at Raffles City, got hungry, and wanted to sit down at a nice restaurant for some sumptuous dinner. But this brightly lit red little booth caught my eye. It’s Chippy British Take Away! With that striking union jack, the cheery name, and so many […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/chippy-british-take-away/feed/ 20 https://sparklette.net/food/cookie-museum/ https://sparklette.net/food/cookie-museum/#comments Sun, 27 Mar 2005 17:01:15 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/the-v-tea-room/

Update: The V Tea Room is now known as The Cookie Museum. Boasting a Victorian theme in a cozy setting, everything about the V Tea Room looks beautiful! There is so much detail in its decor. Thick volumes of Victorian books decorate the counter. Masquerade masks hang on the walls. Dainty little cups are used to serve tea. Even the menus are very exquisitely designed! I am most impressed with […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/cookie-museum/feed/ 8
