  • Sandwiches & Salads @ The Hangar in Great Food around Golden Mile Complex

    The Lemongrass Steak sandwich ($12, or upsize to $16 as in the photo) was much better than I expected. This is some real quality beef with seriously awesome texture, not the sliced ham or roast beef crap you get from the likes of Subway. The bread was nice and crispy too.

    The food, drinks, and especially staff at The Hangar are great. Would definitely give it 5 stars if not for the price, which seems to be a touch on the higher side (though to be fair, you're paying for quality).

  • Indian Food @ Yummy Punjaby in Great Food around Golden Mile Complex

    I've been looking for a good Indian option in the area for about 6 months, so it was very exciting to hear about Yummy Punjaby just a few minutes away. The setting is very unassuming and casual, with no air conditioning though the open concept keeps it from feeling stuffy. The food is definitely good and value for money, with the Thursday butter chicken meal being a clear winner to me. They were also generous with the naan and rice. Will need to come back and try the other choices.

  • Aston's Specialties in Great Food around Golden Mile Complex

    I know Aston's isn't anything new or special, but sometimes you have a craving for a decent steak that is somewhere between a hawker centre and a fine dining establishment, and Aston's scratches that itch very well. The Prime Ribeye meal ($17.90 w/ 2 sides) was obviously not as great as higher end establishments, but for the price was quite satisfying and noticeably better than hawker fare. Cheaper meals options (e.g. fish or chicken) are also available in the $10 range.

  • Hawker Stalls @ Golden Mile Food Centre in Great Food around Golden Mile Complex

    The western food stall in the middle of the 2nd floor is quite good (the one closer to the CBD, as there are 2 right across from each other). Roughly $6-8 depending on what you order, the lamb and chicken are both good.

  • Berg's Burger in Great Food around Golden Mile Complex

    I eat here probably once every 2 weeks or so. The burgers here are big, fresh, and satisfying, but something about the meat texture feels a bit more rubbery than it does juicy. Nevertheless, these are one of the better gourmet burgers in Singapore and I always enjoy having a meal here.

  • Pre-dinner drinks - My Awesome Cafe in Singapore date ideas - Telok Ayer

    Went for after-work drinks tonight and found it to be quite a cool place. Very casual setting with friendly staff. We had a few rounds of London Pride beer ($13 per pint) and a cold cuts & cheese platter ($36) which were both very satisfying. Definitely a nice place to just chill out and have a good conversation with some friends.

  • MexOut in Great Burritos in Singapore

    Had MexOut for lunch at the suggestion of the wonderful Lucy Miles and was very happy with the choice of venue. The variety of food and ingredients was excellent and everything looked fresh and clean. I got a rice bowl meal with a few add ons which quickly put me past the $20 mark, though in return I got a TON of food and was super stuffed afterwards. The carne asada is in strips of beef whereas I prefer the steak-cube style, but overall was a very good meal!

  • Dinner - Moosehead Kitchen & Bar in Singapore date ideas - Telok Ayer

    I've been here once before and loved the vibe, atmosphere, and especially the food. Highly recommend the burratina cheese ball ($18) as well as the Secreto Iberico pork ($28), whereas the lamb rack ($36) was also good but didn't quite justify the price. Prices are on the high end relative to the serving size, but for an occasional treat I'd say definitely give Moosehead a try.

  • Avengers: Age of Ultron in John & Rachel's Trips to the Cinema

    A lot of people didn't think this movie was great but I think that is due to how much hype it had. I really loved the first Avengers movie and thought this one was still very good, though perhaps the first was still better - the bar was set pretty high. Tons and tons of action and some funny scenes. Felt they could have done a bit more with Jarvis 2.0 after building it up so much. Overall still a great movie IMHO!

  • Pre-dinner drinks - Potato Head in Singapore date ideas - Keong Saik Road

    Almost everyone who has been to Bali knows and likes Potato Head, so there was a ton of buzz when they opened up a branch in Singapore. The atmosphere is definitely unique and the staff are great, though it gets very crowded after 6 to 7 pm - mostly with tourists and expats it seems. Prices are on the higher end as well, which is in line with their customer base. Overall a cool place to bring overseas visitors or to have an occasional drink.

  • Guzman y Gomez in Great Burritos in Singapore

    A very nice and convenient way to get your burrito fix in the CBD, especially if you're already in the area. The cost is about $10-15 depending on what you get and what size, and the taste is quite good (though not the best I've had in Singapore). Overall I'd definitely recommend this if you're nearby and are craving a burrito - you won't be disappointed.

  • Chongqing Grilled Fish (重庆烤鱼) in The Best La Zi Ji (辣子鸡) in Singapore

    The overall taste and texture is very similar to that of Fat Bird's laziji down the street, but it comes at a slightly higher price point ($14 vs. $12). I'm not sure if it was just the dish or the overall meal, but I seem to prefer the version at Fat Bird better.

  • Whiskey: SpringBank 15 yr in Drinks that Reg approves

    A fine whiskey to slowly sip and have a good conversation over. Tastes great and is best appreciated neat or on the rocks - don't add any of your mixer nonsense to a whiskey like this. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for!

  • Wagyu Meatball Tomato & Cheese Pasta in Cool ways to have Meatballs for lunch @ Telok Ayer

    Ordered this on my first visit to Club Meatballs and felt that it was good but not necessarily amazing. The $14 price point for 4 meatballs, pasta, and some condiments is to be expected for this type of place in the CBD, and you won't get very full after a meal like this - which I guess is the whole point. In hindsight, salad would have definitely complimented the dish much better than pasta.

  • Club Meatballs in Favourite lunch spots in Singapore

    Tried Club Meatballs the other day and loved the concept. Simple menu, good food, and really cool ambience. The semi-private room in the back is excellent to have a good conversation over lunch in a casual living-room type setting. My meal came out to $14 with 4 meatballs and pasta with various other toppings, but will definitely go with salad instead of pasta next time. A bit pricey and won't really fill you up, but thats to be expected for this type of food around the CBD.

  • Krispy Kreme Donuts in My Favorite Sweet Tooth Indulgences

    When I was younger I loved Krispy Kreme in the 'states, perhaps due to the standalone shops with the conveyer belt which you could track your donut being made from a ball of dough to getting glazed and then eating that exact one hot off the press. Now that it is available in Singapore, it is still good but isn't the dream dessert it once was. I'll still have a couple donuts without hesitation, but probably won't have 6 at a time anymore :)

  • Get Hard in John & Rachel's Trips to the Cinema

    Funny movie! Love the good ole American humor. I definitely laughed pretty hard at some scenes, though it is super odd to see Will Ferrell play the role of an intelligent person. Watch out for the penis!!

  • Hot Pot @ Gyu Jin in My Favorite Hong Kong Food

    Gyu Jin strikes a fantastic balance of quality meat with a very good price. Opting for the $250 HKD-ish buffet, you'll get great cuts of beef and pork without breaking the bank. Add in free flow of drinks and Haagen Daz ice cream, and it is a truly amazing value.

  • Taiwanese Food @ Odeon Taiwanese Cafe in My Favorite Hong Kong Food

    Great 3-cup chicken! I haven't had it in a while, but I remember it being one dish that I tried to get back in Singapore and couldn't get anything close. Will definitely make an effort to go back next visit.

  • Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990-1996) in TV shows that you MUST watch says Reg

    I grew up on this shit! It may not be as great when watching in hindsight (IMHO), but it was absolute gold for my childhood.
