In every alley or street, there is something good to eat. __ Roll'd Pho in a cup "Not life-changing in terms of taste, but the packaging is just perfect." Humble Rays "Korean -Aussie fusion. I felt like basically everything on their menu tasted great, also because I'm a sucker for asian flavours. " Operator 25 "It's really near my place and it just had a great vibe overall.

OdetteNational Gallery , Singapore . Trust me when I say I had my doubts in the beginning. I am am no foodie; scratch that, I have no food standards. However, being with Aaron has definitely changed that. He is solidly planted in the f&b industry and have overtime raised my little-to-none-standards, I now am picky-er than I was before. So, we had bookings at Odette, a 2-Michelin star establishment planted right smack in the Singapore National Gallery. The 6 course degustation was going to set us back about 148SGD each. Thus, my doubts. However, I'm so glad we took a dive and splurged on probably the highlight of my lifetime's culinary experience. The restaurant was refined to perfection, whiter than my school shoes after bleaching, the pastels were the perfect complimentary shades and not a single hair was out of place. P E R F E C T. The main dishes consisted of the promised 6 dishes, but we were spoilt for choice with the little appetisers and entreés, it felt more like 12 courses. I could barely move by the end of the 2 and a half hour meal. ' I can still picture the lady the suit standing beside me explaining the complexity of my dishes. I honestly just noded and smiled; hoping she wouldn't sense how 'sakai' I was feeling and hoping she didn't notice my twitchy hands as I fiddled with my phone, dying to snap a million photos. My instastory had an epic time too. In a nutshell, there were avocado petals, fish eggs that were valued probably equivalent to my education, beetroot (12 different textures of it, the sorbet ice cream was 👌🏻), smokey egg trays, truffle brioche enough to make you give thanks twice... The photos here are barely half of what we had, but I figured I shouldn't ruin the experience and I'd highly reccomend you try it for yourself. The prices are steep, without a doubt, I probably sold a kidney... but it was so worth it. If I had to draw a comparison, I'd say it's akin to a musical or a performance. The thought and effort that went in to those dishes were definitely above and beyond; something worth looking back and saying "That was pretty darn fantastic!". Plus point for the beautiful location, I'm a sucker for galleries. I flock to them like how moths flock to light. The symmerty of buildings/furniture/interior really gets to me. Thought I'd throw in a quick #ootd. Which brings me to my next topic, SHOPPING! I had 4 days and 3 nights in Singapore to basically conquer as much as conquer-able. So shopping was low on the priority list, there was Coldplay and Armin to compete with, and I had only one shop on my mind. EDITOR'S MARKET. I got my pants from there, and it was SGD28 which is considerably cheap for Singapore standards. However, I would totally vouch for the quality of their clothing. It also works in a way that if you buy more pieces, then each item gets cheaper (up to 6 items). Funny story. I met an American lady that was travelling on holiday and she had three items in her hand, so did I. So we decided to combine our items and we paid the lowest price for each of our pieces. Win-win!
