A Raffles Heritage Evening @ Raffles Hotel

Image
 ~Invited Session~ One of the best kept secrets in town is the A Raffles Heritage Evening at the Raffles Hotel which serves up a beautiful array of local flavours.  The sharing platter of Asian style tapas (think dim sum but for the evening!) with Singaporean Chili Crab Cake (must try!), Spicy Tiger Prawns, Sesame Shrimp Toast, and Spring Rolls is a great way to start of the evening.    Expect lots of crunchy textures and savory flavors, and even if your spice tolerance isn’t exactly high, don’t worry, the spice levels here are tastefully pleasant.  I had the pleasure of trying of both main courses, though I am told that the set allows for 1 choice of main course. The Hainanese chicken rice is a perennial favourite and an all-time classic disc in Singapore (the PR lady even told me that chicken rice is one dish she can eat for every single meal, an opinion readily concurred by my dining companion who nodded furiously and we all started rattling on about our favourite pla

 ~Mediadrop~ Acai bowls and I go way back in time and I miss the days of lunching out and heading over for acai before heading back to the office.  I really shan't bore with the nutrition statistics about acai bowls - they have been spoken to death and they are my to go for a healthy treat when the weather is so unforgiving.  Acai Bowl is a newly established company and they are Singapore’s largest, fastest and most popular acai delivery platform!

~Media Drop~ I admit Circuit Breaker made me food delivery savvy. The essentials for a food delivery vendor include Chop chop curry pok ordering and delivery service It is no joke ordering a meal when I am ravenous, only for it to arrive when I am no longer hungry. Granted some merchants are located further away and time has to be catered for travelling but hunger and anger go hand in hand very often, so my major pet peeve is long time taken to order and wait for it to be delivered.

Anyway I digress, the folks at Pizza Delivery Singapore  sent me these to try! Order to deliver within 1 hour - totally tr
