Dumpling Festival is just around the corner. Have you indulged in your favourite leaf-wrapped rice treat yet? Like its Chinese cousin – the mooncake, the rice dumpling makes a special appearance during this time of the year in various flavours and forms. While some of us go for the traditional Nyonya dumpling, many restaurants whip up special creations filled with a hefty amount of varied ingredients. Year after year, my […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/fairmont-hotel-szechuan-court-dumplings/feed/ 0 https://sparklette.net/food/fairmont-singapore-dumpling/ https://sparklette.net/food/fairmont-singapore-dumpling/#comments Thu, 21 Jun 2012 07:33:40 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1345

The Dragon Boat Festival – better known to most simply as the “dumpling festival” – is arriving very soon on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. I love my rice dumplings and look forward to enjoying traditional Nyonya dumplings every year. Apart from the conventional rice dumplings, there’s one particular dumpling that I have been raving about since tasting it for the first time in 2011. That is […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/fairmont-singapore-dumpling/feed/ 1 https://sparklette.net/food/emicakes-eggless-cakes/ https://sparklette.net/food/emicakes-eggless-cakes/#comments Mon, 19 Sep 2011 09:09:59 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1222

Now “eggless” is usually synonymous with less-than-delicious cakes, but this time, Emicakes‘ range of eggless cakes blew us all away. The eggless cakes are made from the egg substitute whey protein, said to be suitable for certain vegetarians. Even for a non-vegetarian like myself, I really enjoy these conveniently packed cake cubes and can hardly tell them apart from regular cakes. Eggless cubes S$2 each Rating: Available in 8 flavours […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/emicakes-eggless-cakes/feed/ 7 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. Kha is designed by Hecker Guthrie, who is known for award-winning design projects such […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/kha/feed/ 3 https://sparklette.net/food/fairmont-szechuan-court-dumplings/ https://sparklette.net/food/fairmont-szechuan-court-dumplings/#comments Thu, 26 May 2011 03:00:21 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1149

I have just been Kung Pow-wowed, and that’s putting it mildly. If you would like to treat yourself to some seriously good dumplings this Dragon Boat Festival, look no further than Fairmont Singapore‘s lot of wholesome dumplings. Made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo leaves, these sticky delights from Szechuan Court come packed with an assortment of savoury fillings that will impress. After enjoying a couple of the Fairmont […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/fairmont-szechuan-court-dumplings/feed/ 6 https://sparklette.net/food/singapore-organic-restaurants/ https://sparklette.net/food/singapore-organic-restaurants/#comments Mon, 23 May 2011 03:00:25 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1146

MOB Most Original Burgers, a casual western restaurant at VivoCity, Singapore very kindly sponsored dining vouchers for Sparklette readers in last week’s giveaway. More than 70 readers entered the giveaway for the S$30 dining vouchers. You also indicated which dish you would like to try on the MOB menu.

Update: This contest has ended. The winners have been announced. After whetting your appetite for the juicy mini burgers from MOB Most Original Burgers last week, I feel it’s only right that you get a taste too. So I asked the restaurant at VivoCity, Singapore if they could offer some vouchers to Sparklette readers. They obligingly agreed, and have kindly sponsored five S$30 dining vouchers for this giveaway!

A visit to Most Original Burgers at VivoCity, Singapore may leave you craving for not just burgers, but Hollywood mobster movies as well. At least, that’s how I feel after eating The Goodfellas mini burgers, washed down with a Mobster Sling mocktail whilst staring at a larger than life photo of The Godfather leather chair. Burgers lead the way, which makes Most Original Burgers an ideal stopover for lunch or […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/mob-most-original-burgers/feed/ 2 https://sparklette.net/food/vegetarian-restaurants/ https://sparklette.net/food/vegetarian-restaurants/#comments Fri, 18 Feb 2011 03:00:52 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=1081

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/miao-yi-vegetarian-restaurant/ https://sparklette.net/food/miao-yi-vegetarian-restaurant/#comments Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:21:43 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=997

If you aren’t vegetarian, you may balk at the idea of visiting a vegetarian restaurant. Why have mock meat when you can have the real thing, right? And that’s exactly what a group of us did – all ten of us non-vegetarians – after hearing rave reviews about the great-tasting food at Miao Yi Vegetarian Restaurant. Tucked in the quiet Coronation Plaza along Bukit Timah Road, Miao Yi is one […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/miao-yi-vegetarian-restaurant/feed/ 14 https://sparklette.net/food/eden-sanctuary-floral-cafe/ https://sparklette.net/food/eden-sanctuary-floral-cafe/#comments Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:00:54 +0000 http://sparklette.net/?p=983

What colour is your food? Do you know that certain foods can be classified into colour groups such as red, green and purple, and that you can reap different health benefits from each colour? At Eden Sanctuary Floral Cafe in China Square Central, meals can be personalised based on individual preferences and customised according to dietary requirements. In the 5-course meal, Chef Clement Ronald Ng painstakingly puts together each dish […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/eden-sanctuary-floral-cafe/feed/ 4 https://sparklette.net/food/sri-vijaya/ https://sparklette.net/food/sri-vijaya/#comments Mon, 23 Jul 2007 06:08:49 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/sri-vijaya-restaurant-just-plain-yummy/

In keeping with my recent craze over thosai, I have been scouting for delicious thosai at Indian restaurants. Having delicious Indian food alone isn’t enough; it must be in Little India too, because that’s where you get the most authentic Indian dining experience! (Actually, the most authentic would be in India itself. But we make do with what we have here!) A street-side coffee shop I’ve found is Sri Vijaya […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/sri-vijaya/feed/ 31 https://sparklette.net/food/ananda-bhavan/ https://sparklette.net/food/ananda-bhavan/#comments Thu, 12 Jul 2007 05:12:06 +0000 http://sparklette.net/archives/ananda-bhavan-restaurant-wholesome-thosai/

I love Little India! The area makes me feel like I’m a tourist in a foreign land! Out of my numerous visits, I wonder why I had never seen Ananda Bhavan Restaurant. It’s a double-storey Indian vegetarian eating house, also the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Singapore! The place boasts fuss-free, no-frills dining. You queue up at the counter to order and pay for your food. You get a queue number […]]]> https://sparklette.net/food/ananda-bhavan/feed/ 32
