One of my favourite places to enjoy casual seafood is Fish & Co.. Personally, I find their cheese-filled Swiss fish and chips to be the best in town (though so far nothing quite trumps the version at The Offshore in Bangkok). During the holy month of Ramadan, the restaurant chain has introduced a special New Orleans Cajun Platter for our Muslim friends when they are breaking fast. I tried out […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/fish-co-new-orleans-cajun-platter/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/food/mothers-day-cakes/ https://sparklette.net/food/mothers-day-cakes/#respond Tue, 07 May 2013 08:17:38 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1485

When it comes to the skin, collagen is often the buzz word on everyone’s lips. Especially in recent years, I have noticed several interesting products on the market that incorporate collagen, including sweet bottled drinks, Vitagen and even instant coffee! A couple of products that caught my eye are the OsteoMilk and OsteoSoy health beverages made by a company called MarinEx.

I realise that we have never really reviewed food delivery services here except for the occasional cupcakes and tea.

Growing up, Chinese New Year has always been quite the “event of the year” at my household. In the weeks leading up to the actual day, there would be piles of Chinese New Year food like cookies and bak kwa in our kitchen, sufficient to last us through February or even March (if we really stretch it).

Frosty the Snowman has come to town and he’s looking mighty delicious! Of course, we’re talking about a Christmas cake creation from PrimaDéli Singapore. Frosty Snowman weighs in at one kilogramme. He wears a chocolate hat, a red icing scarf, and colourful buttons that taste of white chocolate.

Old Chang Kee is probably most famous for their curry puffs. With a food kiosk at every other shopping mall, you can say that their curry snacks have dominated the local food scene. Do you think Old Chang Kee sells the best curry puffs in Singapore?

Casual-dining restaurant chain Swensen’s now uses palm sugar in two of its ice cream flavours, chendol and palm fruit. By importing sugar from Cambodia, the company is helping to improve the livelihoods of and creating sustained employment for palm sugar farmers in Cambodia. This is a nice thing that Swensen’s is doing. I visited Siem Reap a few years back and absolutely love the place.

Nasi lemak fans would no doubt be familiar with the famous “Adam Road nasi lemak“, referring to one particular stall at the Adam Road Food Centre. The exact name of this supremely popular stall is Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak, rumoured to be the best nasi lemak in Singapore.

By now, everyone in Singapore (and their pets too) must have heard of the new McDonald’s Chicken McGrill burger. Launched on March 1, it is almost impossible to miss the massive marketing campaign that runs with the line “Make it Better, Make it Chicken McGrill” on TV, newspapers, and the internet.

With the amount of good food available and abundant seating since the 2006 revamp, ABC Market has remained one of the more popular hawker centres in Singapore. Just hop into a cab and tell the driver “ABC Market”. Any cab driver worth his salt would immediately know where to take you.
