Hard-pressed to choose just one drink? Grab your friends and head down to Waan Cha tomorrow between 12 to 5pm because they'll be offering a ONE-FOR-ONE promotion in celebration of their official opening!

I'm hardly a coffee person, but my favourite has to be the Thai White Coffee and the "yuan yang" Thai Coffee Milk Tea (not pictured). Also, check out new beverages: Almond Milk (another of my faves!), Almond Coffee, and Thai Ovaltine!

Really!! I think I might've found my best tomyum here in Singapore. It had the right amount of heat, sourness and creaminess that was just perfect to me. It might be a little far off in Tampines for some, but do give it a try if you're around the hood! (:

Crispy toast on the outside complimented with the velvety warm Thai milk tea that flows like a river when you open it up. Despite it being one of the pricer thick toasts in Singapore, it is something that I don't mind paying for again.

This Hong Kong ice cream chain specialising in Japanese purple yam soft serve has finally set up shop at Square 2 in Novena. There are two flavours of their smooth soft serve available — Japanese sea salt and their famed purple yam. If it's your first time, taste it all with the Small Potato Party ($9.50), which sees a cup of yam soft serve topped with yam chunks, yam paste, azuki beans, warabi mochi, crispy rice and a purple potato stick. The portion is considerably small for its size, so when we return, we're ordering the more wallet-friendly cone (from $5 for a single flavour, or $5.50 for mixed flavours). We heard that the yam and sea salt ice cream go really well together!

Bob Seah, the man behind the House of Peranakan Group of restaurants, has launched this new casual concept in East Coast Road. Like the other establishments in the group, the focus here is on authentic Nonya cooking, albeit on more affordably priced set meals and light bites. Bring your family for lunch and start with the moreish Kueh Pie Tee ($6.50 for four pieces) and Tauhu Goreng ($7.90). Then, move on to mains like Nonya Mee Siam ($7.90) and Assam Laksa ($8.90). Both noodle dishes are full on flavour and packed with fresh ingredients. For something even more authentic, try the Peranakan Rice Set ($11.90) — it comes with one main (choose from braised pork, beef rendang and assam fish) along with rice, Nonya chap chye (braised vegetables) and a bowl of soup. Durian lovers, don't miss the Durian Chendol ($6.50), topped with fresh durian puree and homemade gula Melaka.

Part of Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong, the beautifully outfitted Baba Chews (think intricate, monochromatic tiles, plush seats and a stunning bar) is an all-day dining restaurant serving dishes from the Straits of Malacca. Come with your family or a group of foodie friends, so you can dine communal style. Start with the Chilli Crab Cake ($15), a spin on the local favourite that sees deep-fried crab meat patties served with fried mantou 'chips'. For mains, share the Iberico Pork Ribs Pongteh ($25), tender braised ribs slicked in a umami-rich gravy; Sambal Stingray ($20), redolent with smoky flavours and slathered in a spicy and tangy sambal; and Sambal Terung ($10), eggplant cooked in chilli, tamarind and spices. The menu also includes the usual hotel suspects like burgers and pastas, as well as dishes designed by the Intercontinental Hotel Group's culinary ambassadors, such as Chef Sam Leong's Signature Wasabi Prawns ($15). End your meal with a bowl of icy, soothing Chendol ($6).

The menu at Tai Cheong Bakery, a household name in Hong Kong, is scant but focused. Previously a pop-up at Takashimaya's Food Hall, the bakery has settled for a permanent takeaway counter in Takashimaya's basement two. Look out for its signature teal signboard and long snaking queue — yes, be prepared to wait in line for at least two hours to get your hands on their famous Egg Tarts ($7.60 box of four)! Nothing quite comes close to the sheer buttery, flaky crust and smooth custard filling. Apart from the egg tarts, there are four other offerings on the menu, including a Chicken Pie ($2.80), Char Siew Bolo Bun ($2.20) and a Sponge Cupcake ($1.50).

An amazing unexepected cake of passion fruit with gula melaka and caramel chocolate ! Texture is very smooth and flavour's taste is appetizing !

Love this cake ! Definitely no regret for 2nd visit 😊

Classic Toast, portion too huge and sweet XD Two scoops of Vanilla ice cream (ice cream was quite okay) and the toast was very dry and even though they help to cut the toast, but the bread was too big. Price wise, it was pretty expensive, $16.90 😂😂 hmm.. Wouldn't come here for the toast, but would come here for the tea and milkshake 😊😇

Needed a fix for Teochew porridge and chance upon this place. Long queue but cleared very fast.
