Everything about Food and Wine
Okabeya (清水順正 おかべ家)
The restaurant is housed in a Kyo-Machiya (Traditional Kyoto wooden townhouse) near Kiyomizu-dera Temple and specialises in Tofu cuisine.
Steak Otsuka
This is a MUST-VISIT in Kyoto if you love beef, top Japanese Wagyu beef.
Papita D'oro
En route to Kyoto, we stopped over at Nara for a short tour and had an amazing lunch at Papita D'oro - A cosy boutique Italian restaurant located within Naramachi (奈良町) and run by a Japanese Chef who had honed his culinary skills in Italy for years before returning to Japan.
Okage-san Izakaya
This popular Izakaya, near our Onsen Resort at Hongu Wakayma, is famous for their Oden and Yakitori. The Izakaya has a Zashiki seating arrangement and we had our dinner around a low table on tatami flooring.
Tairyou Izakaya Restaurant
This was one of the surprise find of this trip. The hidden Izakaya is located off a small lane in Nachikatsuura town at the very south of Wakayama Prefecture.
Kobe Beef Kurosawa
Hideaway in the back street of Nankinmachi (Kobe Chinatown), this Japanese restaurant specialises in Kobe beef at a very reasonable price.
Marufuku Coffee Sennichimae honten
When it's cold outside, you just want a cup of hot coffee or chocolate to warm you right up.
Osaka Kuromon Market
We spent hours and lots of Yen at this food paradise of Osaka savouring Japanese street food at its very best. From prized seafood like snow crab, otoro, oysters and uni to gourmet Kobe beef. This is a must-visit for all foodies!
Curry Chicken Noodle Hunt
Unearthing the history of curry chicken noodle and learning the different important elements and ingredients to reproduce the old taste of this popular hawker dish in its earliest original form with host Bryan Wong in the coming new series of Old Taste Detective.
Florian Singapore
Located at the lobby space within Naumi Hotel at Seah Street, where modern Indian restaurant - Table by Rang Mahal used to be, Florian is a casual Italian restaurant and bar. The space retains the same contemporary interior and furnishing as Table.

Dickson Nasi Lemak
Just had Uptown Nasi Lemak at Telok Ayer and I mentioned that I prefer their Ayam Goreng Berempah to Dickson's. So here I am at Dickson to confirm my earlier review and I still stand by that. ☺
