The Spanish Hash ($24) at Wild Honey is very photogenic with its unique presentation as well as ingredients. The egg was cooked well with a runny yolk, while the bread was just slightly crispy while remaining quite soft overall. The potatoes and sausage didn't have a very distinctive taste, though I was able to improve the flavor by adding a bit of sea salt. Despite its visual appeal, this dish was exactly as expected - nothing too bold or surprising taste-wise, just a solid eggs benedict.

Being a huge truffle fan, I tried out the Truffle Burger ($28) and of course upgraded to truffle fries ($2). The bun was just ok, being soft and non-toasted. The sauteed onions complimented the juicy and nicely cooked patty - which had good texture and flavor - making the burger messy yet fun to eat. The burger is medium-sized, its not food coma-inducing but gets you full enough alongside the fries. Overall a good meal, but wish the burger & fries were more truffle-ly to live up to the name.

Berg's Burger has a lot of interesting options for burger fanatics, though I typically stick with the Miss Piggy (bacon cheeseburger) with fries and a lemonade ($20 NETT). The burgers are large and will fill you up, though as you can see the patties aren't necessarily thick nor juicy. Maybe its just me but something about the meat texture makes it feel a bit rubbery/stringy, but thankfully its not dry nor tough either. Nevertheless, Berg's is a decent choice to satisfy your burger craving.

Omakase Burger is undoubtedly good for a fast-food style outlet - the fresh meat, cheese, lettuce, and bacon work well together to make a distinctive and enjoyable taste, though the burger itself is definitely on the small side. However, add on the cost of fries and a drink to the base $15-20 for the burger you quickly get into gourmet burger territory at $25+ per pax. At that price point, you can get much bigger, juicier, and higher quality burgers from the likes of Suprette or Black Swan.

The PS Crispy Onion Burger isn't cheap at $29++. To make up for this, the burger is generously sized and comes with a HUGE portion of shoestring fries on the side (sadly, they aren't truffle fries). The meat is high quality and juicy, but I didn't get any unique taste or awesome flavors from it; the deep fried onion toppings didn't stand out either.
Overall, this is a solid burger that will definitely satisfy your cravings but isn't quite special enough to make it into your food fantasies.

These are decent cards but not nearly as attractive nowadays with the plethora of 4 mile / S$ options on the market. The UOB PRVI Miles cards offer you simplicity in being general use cards that require little thinking, but you pay a hefty price of losing out on almost 3x the miles by not using the best cards for each type of spending. That said, they do have some utility in filling in certain gaps that other cards can't earn 4 miles / S$, such as very very large overseas purchases (non-dining).

This was once a much better card but has since been riddled with all sorts of exclusions and restrictions on its ability to earn 4 miles / S$. If you online shop regularly then this card can still be useful, but be prepared to invest time learning the T&Cs and keeping track of spending to stay under $12k SGD per calendar year.

Lobster Thermidor is usually one of the first choices when flying premium cabins for the first few times, given how luxurious it sounds to be having lobster at 30,000 feet over the sea. I had put it off for a while, but my virgin-lobster in-flight experience was not great. On-board, the meat gets a little dry and tough, and much less tasty than on the ground. Other frequent flyers agree, don't go for lobster other than the novelty of it.

This dish was ordered off the menu, however this time it was in First Class. Despite the hype, I was quite disappointed at the texture and done-ness of it; it wasn't nearly as tender as the ones I've had in the past, and I can't recommend anyone flying out of India to go for meat dishes.

While not the best meal I've had on SQ, it was fairly good given the route (departing Bangkok on a short-haul flight on the 777-200). The lamb was decent, which is about all one could ask for on a flight like this.
Seared lamb chop in jus, haricot vert, cherry tomato and pumpkin.

I went for The Great Burger ($16) whose patty had mixed textures - tougher on the charred outside yet nicely soft and grainy on the inside. The beef taste was very good, shining through the other ingredients to be central to the overall burger. There were also lots of tangy flavors - likely the cherry tomatoes - while the crispy bacon wasn't salty but still nice. The bun was soft yet quite dense at times, and the shoestring garlic fries weren't too crispy but had an awesome taste. 4.5 stars!

I had Burp's Beef Burger ($14) which had a nice fluffy Brioche bun with a light buttery taste. The beef patty was both fresh and tender, with great subtle flavors and hints of spice in the meat; however it was also slightly on the dry side. The cheese, greens, and mayo added nice tastes to the overall burger. The potato salad was also delightfully refreshing and not too strong nor heavy.
If you're a fan of quality, subtle flavors instead of super strong tastes, then this burger is for you.

The Raven "Cemita" Burger ($22) has a thick juicy patty with a great slightly chewy-yet-tender texture and a nice, subtle beef taste. The chipotle and ingredients added a LOT of spices and flavors packing a nice kick to the taste buds, while the avacado, cheese, and sauce added a salty, savoury twist. The bun is soft with a light butter taste, while the medium-sized fries were perfectly crispy and fluffy.
Overall a great burger with a great patty and unique spiced flavor: 4.5, almost 5 stars

I had the Bacon Cheeseburger ($24) which was medium sized. The bun was soft and a bit dense though without much taste. The patty was nice and juicy with a grainy texture and awesome meaty flavor; a bit chewy and charred at the edges. The cheese and bacon bits added a nice taste without being too strong. The condiments were a bit tangy, contributing to a great taste overall.
A delicious burger though a slightly bigger size, included fries, or cheaper price would make it perfect.

I had the Brisket Burger ($12) which was medium-small in size. While it doesn't look like much - just the bun, some meat, and a few toppings - the burger was actually very good. The bun was chewy and springy without being dense, and had a great taste. The shredded meat was very savory, and though not really juicy nor tender (since it is shredded) it had a great texture and a really enjoyable brisket flavor. Adding a touch of BBQ sauce made the burger near-perfect. A very solid 4.5/5 stars.

I had the Crazy Tower Burger ($23) which was dripping with all sorts of rich flavors. The cheddar cheese & mushrooms were quite strong in both taste & slimy texture, while the blue cheese & bacon added a lot of saltiness. The double beef patties were pretty enjoyable (right between fast food & gourmet) while the toasted bun was slightly dense with a nice buttery taste. The fries were a tad seasoned but very average. Overall a good, towering burger that'll definitely fill you up!

I had the Black Angus Beef Burger ($19 w/ set lunch) which had a dense, buttery bun that I really enjoyed. The beef patty was quite chewy in texture with decent juiciness and hints of salt/seasoning that made for a great taste. There was a strong cheese & mayo flavor which was refreshingly good alongside the tomato. The fries were alright - thick but not very crispy. Overall a tasty burger that I'll glady have again.
ps. the beef carpaccio was great, making for fantastic value as a set lunch.

Glints is super cool and easy to use, and I was able to get some applicants and an intern for my startup. It did take a few weeks though - there are lots of internship postings (over 1,000 right now!) from many cool companies so you'll need to figure out how to stand out from the rest and attract people to apply.
I'd suggest using a really cool photo and talking up your company + the role in the first sentence to attract people quickly.

I used StartUpJobs and it is just like any other job portal but specific for startups. They have a dedicated Internship tab which we could list on. We got a few internship applications through them and ended up getting 2 pretty good interns. Definitely a cool platform, but at the end of the day make sure you do your part in interviewing them and setting their expectations properly!

I went to a few events which were really cool and met a lot of awesome people. However most of them had specific themes or purposes and I didn't find many programmers that were looking for jobs. Nevertheless, it was great for networking and getting to know the various industries better!
