Awfully Chocolate, unlike what we know the word awfully means, is not really awful but actually awesome. Terribly awesome. This chocolate/confectioner/desserts/bake shop offers one of the best desserts I ever had in my entire life and mind you, I haven’t tasted their bestsellers yet but only the usual chocolate cake. At first, I was hesitant to try it since going in Singapore does not really involve much about try chocolate cakes and similar dessert stuff but since I was already in ION Orchard, might as well give it a try. And I don’t regret it. I would’ve regret it if I didn’t try it.

The Foodie Getaway: Hawker Hopping Bugis Street Style (in Singapore)

August 12th, 2012 1 comment


 

Singapore may not have the turf when it comes to cheap shopping but Bugis Street is one of the few places where you can score shopping goodies at relatively affordable prices. But for a foodie traveler, I really don’t scour my destinations for clothes or watches or gadgets but food. Lots of it. And I don’t mind paying up as long as the food is awesome. But in Bugis Street, food is not only reasonably-priced but I give it a thumbs up as well.

During my visit in Singapore for the Singapore Blog Awards 2012, I spent one afternoon food tripping around Bugis Street. With lots of choice, I think I already got full even by just looking around.

 

Near the entrance of Bugis Street, saw a long line of people queuing for Roti Buns. As a rule of thumb, if there’s a long line fall in it just for kicks.

Where the long line was, there was Lau Pa Sat. It is known for making handmade Roti Buns that in my opinion are really good. You can choose to have your roti buns sliced, buttered, kayad, peanut buttered, or you can just buy it as is and also get a separate spread to go. Kaya is a popular spread in Singapore so I was already contemplating of getting my Roti Bun with it. You can also get your roti with eggs and choose from different sausages as filling.
