[Food Delivery] Pizza Delivery Singapore

I'm back with another food delivery review!
This time round, we had food ordered from Pizza Delivery Singapore to host our family for dinner.

There are sharing bundles available for larger groups to give you some cost savings. Unfortunately, the 3-4 pax bundle was not available on the website thus I had to order ala carte.

We chose 2 large (12") pizzas, 6 chicken wings, and 6 fried prawns to share amongst 5 pax.


I got to know about this pizza delivery service from Best in SingaporePizza Delivery Singapore is an upscale fast-casual concept that serves up artisan-style pizzas and pasta made on-demand, ready in minutes and delivered to our doorstep all under 1 hour. 

The pizza sauces and toppings are also freshly prepped every morning – right on the spot with each incoming order and fired up in custom-made Italian stone oven replica.



Hawaiian Pizza (12" 8 slices)
We have to order the classic Hawaiian! It is also always an in-house favourite with tender chicken ham slices, classic Italian tomato sauce, juicy chicken breast, capsicum peppers, mozzarella cheese and topped with succulent pineapple chunks (yay!)



Seafood Pizza (12" 8 slices)
Dive into a supreme seafood combination of juicy prawns, tuna chunks, fresh tender squid and succulent scallops drenched in mozzarella cheese and extra virgin olive oil. 

Here's a clearer photo of the pizza from the website where you can see the squid better!





Crispy Chicken Wings | 6 Pieces
This is my personal favourite as the wings are well seasoned and the skin is crispy!



Honey Mustard Prawn | 6 Pieces
The prawns look abit different from the website photos honestly. (see stock photo below) But thankfully the taste was still good. It's enough to go on its own even without the honey mustard sauce!



Pizza Delivery Singapore is having 50% when you purchase 2 pizzas (automatically deducted at check out) and you can mix any size or flavours for each pair. So, make use of the promotion to try it ;)

Besides, it offers free island-wide delivery for purchases over $60 too!

[Food Delivery] Sushi Delivery Singapore

What a strange period we are living in currently. Where our freedom to dine out is temporarily compromised for the past few months. I certainly appreciate the yummy food delivery services to add some cheer to our cooped-up lives :)

I was craving for some Japanese food and was introduced to Sushi Delivery Singapore by Best in Singapore just in time! As the name suggest, Sushi Delivery Singapore is online Japanese food site that does delivery services to satisfy your Japanese food craving.

First thing I noticed about Sushi Delivery Singapore is that they have a pretty wholesome selection of dishes to choose from. There is definitely bound to be something for everyone in the family!

We had a variety of sushi and appetizers/sides to try.



Kani Salad 可児サラダ
$8.30


First up is the salad which I absolutely loved. Though made up of simple ingredients, the combination of various light flavours of the greens with the salty kani (crab) stick and tobiko (roe) really delights the palate. I like the contrast of the creamy texture of the kani and sauce, against the crunchy vegetables as well.



Chuka Kurage
$4.60


The jellyfish is on the saltier end, which is probably more suited as a side/snack to go with beers and sakes!


Tako Yaki (5pcs) タコ焼き
$4.90


The takoyaki balls came with an octopus filling in each, and generously drizzled with Japanese mayonnaise and bonito flakes! This is definitely something I would order again for future deliveries.


Yam Net Sponge Roll (5pcs) ヤムネットスポンジロール
$5.90


This is not something common at a sushi place I guess? The yam net spring roll reminds me of the chinese tze char yam ring dish, with the "net" deep fried to perfection. The yam has a fragrant scent to it too!


Shrimp Crouton (5pcs) エビクルトン
$4.90


Give me shrimps anytime. What's more shrimps coated with croutons, deep fried to a golden perfection. Needless to say, they are one of my favourites. 
Also not to worry about the deep frying if you're more health conscious, they were not oily at all I feel, while maintaining the crunch!



Now, let's move on to the sushi, shall we?

Kappa Maki (1 Roll) (V) カッパマキ
$3.90


Japanese cucumber wrapped in sushi rice and nori (seaweed) never go wrong. This is vegan, by the way. Remember I said there's bound to be something for everyone at the beginning? :)


Champion Floss Maki (8pcs) チャンピオンフロスマキ
$15.90


A maki made with chicken and floss is something I have not tried before honestly. This fusion sushi roll is quite unique-tasting. The maki has grilled teriyaki chicken matched with crunchy Japanese cucumber, Parmesan and nacho cheeses, wrapped in nori (seaweed) and sushi rice. Then finally topped with savory sweet chicken floss and tobiko (flying fish roe). Share with me your thoughts if you try this! :)



California Maki (8pcs) カリフォルニアまき
$10.90


Lastly, we have the california maki, which is an all-time favourite for many people I guess? This sushi roll has a generous serving of sweet kani (crab) stick, crunchy Japanese cucumber, sweet tamago and crab stick are wrapped in nori and sushi rice and coated with a generous serving of savoury sweet tobiko. The Japanese mayonnaise certainly adds a touch of extra creaminess to this maki roll. I finished about the whole roll myself :X

If you're interested, Sushi Delivery Singapore has hourly delivery slots and free delivery for orders above $60!

Amara Hotel Lunar New Year [Media Tasting]


Chinese New Year is a week away, so it’s time to kick start on the catch-ups and gatherings. And, what’s a better way to do them than over good food and drinks? :)
Amara Hotel is ready for a prosperous Lunar New Year with its festive menu and buffets done up for the Year of the Pig.



Eight Treasures Prosperity Yu Sheng $88++ Small / $118++ Large

First thought of Amara Hotel’s Yu Sheng is that, the in-house sauce is more savoury than the usual sweet ones. There’re are generous toppings of abalone slices, salmon sashimi, jellyfish, salmon caviar, fish roe and fried fish skin (yay) that gives the whole yu sheng various levels of texture.
Not surprisingly, the yu sheng is endearingly done in the shape of a pig to celebrate the Year of the Pig.




Braised Pumpkin Soup with Superior Fish Maw

As simple as it may look, this is one of my favourite item from the dinner. The sweetness and creaminess of the pumpkin perfectly contrasted by dried scallops, fish maw and mushrooms. It is a very comforting broth that feels healthy and yet, effectively whets our appetite. 



Soy Baked Sea Perch with Spinach in Bonito Sauce

This is definitely the favourite of the crowd. It got everyone at the table finding out more about sea perch (bite-size fact, it’s from the same family as the cod fish but less oily and thus able to retain any gravy better!)



Braised Pork Ribs in Black Beer

Pork lovers get to try a new creation of Amara’s - Braised Pork Ribs in Black Beer. The pork ribs are certainly very tender and the sauce is unique, though not much of beer taste? Let me know if it’s just me!





Beijing Duck $68++ ala carte

One of the highlight of the dinner was a live station where the peking duck is skillfully carved. Each piece of crispy duck skin and meat is then wrapped with the crepe, cucumber and leek. Of cos, not forgetting a dash of sweet sauce to elevate the taste.




Fragrant Rice with Chinese Sausage and Mushroom

This looks rather unassuming but it came out great in the mouth! Best complemented by Amara Hotel’s Sichuan Style Wok-fried Chicken with Dried Red Chilli (Mala Chicken).





Dessert Buffet

Consisting of some all-time favourites such as the New York Cheesecake, Lychee Charlotte Cake, nonya kuehs, and tartlets, there are also special Chinese New Year cakes as such the Gold Ingot Fruit Cake ($78, 1kg) and Cherry Blossom Sugee Cake ($68, 900g).



The cherry blossoms on the sugee cake is one of the prettiest decor I’ve ever had on a  cake and overall, the fondant isn’t overwhelming thick or sweet, perfect!

Bober Tea - The Latest Artisan Tea in Town (Bishan)


Bober Tea has kindly invited me down to their new outlet in town at Bishan. The founder had found on his travels that the various tastes of bubble teas in Taiwan, Japanese and China are vastly superior and has hence decided to bring back the best of all worlds to Singapore. Bober Tea strives to offer artisanal tea, focusing on high-quality, tasty blends and keeping the prices affordable still.



Not only do the crew behind Bober Tea make delicious teas, they also aim to care for everyone's health as the bobas are homemade instead of procuring from the factories - this is so that they can have better control over what goes into each and every boba.

Bober Tea also uses premium ingredients such as Okinawa black sugar, Hokkaido milk, pure matcha powder, and Grade A quality fresh fruits.


These are the 6 flavours I tried!
1. Hokkaido Milk Cap Strawberry
2. Salted Caramel Milk Tea
3. Hokkaido Milk Cap Green Tea
4. Matcha Strawberry Latte
5. Chocolate Milk with Oreo
6. Supreme Fruit Burst (Red Tea)

The team behind Bober Tea loves aesthetically beautiful stuff, so they’ve gotten unique round cups as well as Bober Tea’s Cute cartoon box for purchase of 6 drinks and above. Glimpses of it are on my IG stories highlight on food :D




1. Hokkaido Milk Cap Strawberry ($5.90)

Hokkaido milk will never go wrong if you're a milk lover. This is a refreshing reinvention of strawberry milkshake with more tangy-ness to it.


2. Salted Caramel Milk Tea ($3.50)

Salted Caramel is an easy flavour - however do ask for less sugar if you are more used to healthier versions of bubble teas! The price is kept reasonably competitive as well.


3. Hokkaido Milk Cap Green Tea ($4.10)

Again, the hokkaido milk cap never fails. This is probably a flavour I would rattle off the tip of my tongue without any hesitation.



4. Matcha Strawberry Latte ($4.90)

This is THE IG-WORTHY drink! For the beautiful shade of pink and contrasting green ;)
For matcha lovers, you may be delighted to know that the drink is made from pure matcha powder freshly grinded in front of you.


See how they do it for the matcha flavour of the duo. This is the kind of precision they hold for the drinks.<3 p="">



5. Chocolate Milk with Oreo ($3.70)

This was certainly a dark horse as it wasn't a tea per se. But it came as such a delicious drink which changed my perception that bubble teas needn't be teas all the time!

And...saving the best for the last:


6. Supreme Fruit Burst - Red Tea ($7.20)

This is my personal favourite out of the 6. I love the burst of the citrus flavours and the crunchy passion fruit bits. The supreme fruit burst totally lives up to its name, invigorating us at the first sip. Also, I like how we're given a spoon to enjoy the fruits in the cup. It helps towards our daily target of 2 servings of fruits :p



Some of their top sellers are as follows which I would love to try some other time!
- Brown Sugar Fresh Milk with Hot Brown sugar Pearl (Hot and cold Sensation)
- Hokkaido Milk Cap Green Tea/ Mango / Strawberry
- Roasted oolong Milk Tea with Walnut
- Taro Milk
- Grapefruit Green Tea with Popping Boba
Special toppings: Popping Boba (Strawberry / Passionfruit/ Grapefruit)



There’s never been a better time for Bubble Tea. With decades of history and new waves of bubble tea all over the world in the more recent months, try out Bober Tea for yourself and let me know which flavour you enjoy!

Shhh.. Don’t Tell Mama - Food Tasting



Don't Tell Mama is a bistro that takes up residence at Tanjong Pagar, offering Korean-Mexican fusion. It is under the same group as Chicken Up, hence located side-by-side.






The industrial looking interior concept allows guests not to worry about dresscode – simply let our hair down and have fun! 








The colorful drinks caught my attention immediately. What’s more with blinking mini-lightbulbs for the cocktails, enough to make most girls’ hearts go thumping with delight.

To begin with, we had a few Frozen Cocktails $25:



Left to Right:
Parcharita (Passionfruit, Mango and Tequila)
Lycherita (Lychee and Tequila)
Strawberrita (Strawberry and Tequila)

My favourite will always be lychee flavoured drinks, so Lycherita wins hands-down! The Parcharita was also good, with the tangy passionfruit and mango combi. We were able to control the amount of alcohol added to the Sojuritas, hence these drinks are suited for people of all ‘alcoholic’ levels.

Lightbulb Drinks (Soda $5; Juice or Smoothies from $6; Cocktails From $15)



As we already have quite a lot of alcoholic drinks from the Frozen cocktails / Sojuritas, we decided to simply get the soda version for the Lightbulb drinks. Even though I usually avoid blue-colored drinks, the blue lemon soda was very refreshing and nothing like ‘cough syrup’ as I would usually expect blue-colored drinks to be :p The strawberry soda was great too. I guess this makes a perfect first-date drink, guys ;)

Now, let’s take a look at the fusion menu they offer.



Nachos Cheese Omelette Pancake $8



A fushion of two of my favourite starters - nachos cheese and korean pancake, whoo!
The pancake is the soft, chewy type without any crispy edge or surface. However, pairing with the nachos gives it the 'crisp' texture immediately! 

Kimchi Fries $18



Well, what can go wrong with fries? Nothing! The kimchi sauce was well-flavoured and topped with real sautéed kimchi and soy-seasoned shredded chicken. This goes right after my American-style beef chili-cheese fries in my ‘Favorites’ list :p

Bulgogi Quesadilla $14



Not sure if it was the beef, but I love this starter dish! It would make a good main course for one pax if you’re there for ‘proper’ dinner instead of a mass drinking session.

Prawn Burrito $12


This doesn’t seem like a typical burrito, but more towards prawn pizza wrap (if there’s such a thing). The taste of the spices was quite strong, probably good to go with beers or other alcoholic drinks.

Spicy Lollipops $8


These lollipops have nothing to do with sweetness in actual fact. They are chicken drumlets coated with Korean sweet-spicy sauce with some of the meat carved out to shape them like lollipops. The meat is tender and flavorful, easily making it one of our top favourites that evening.

Fried Chicken Wings $8



The wings are very crispy on the outside and the meat has just the right taste. Perfect for a chicken-and-beer chillax night.

Onion Bomb $12



This is the second time I’m trying an onion bomb and this at DTMM certainly makes me feel like going for my third and fourth time! It is incredibly good that even non-onion eaters enjoyed it.
