Singaporean Yummy Adventures: Newton Circus

Saturday, April 18th, 2009


glorious, glorious chicken wings.

First of all, I’m sorry for the long pause. I’ve been enjoying Singapore too much, as my second home, and I’ve been tremendously busy with school. I’m blessed with flatmates that have this insatiable hunger for great eats, that really research alot about good restaurants, and hawkers here, that I just find myself looking forward to every weekend that we will be eating out, and trying something new.

Newton Circus must be the most popular hawker center in Singapore. It’s swarmed by tourists, and it’s too popular that sometime in the past, there were news of allegedly overpricing happening there - one certain stall overcharging a tourist 200 sgd ( divide by 1.5 to convert into US dollars ) for four pieces of tiger prawns! But the thing is, for every first timer in Singapore, the Newton Circus always comes to mind because it’s a sure shot for really, really delicious Singaporean food, no buts, no whys. Haha!

Singaporean Yummy Adventures : Dining in The Paramount

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

This entry is a bit overdue, but let me still blog about it because my experience dining in this resto was just unforgettable.

The Paramount is a restaurant located inside The Paramount Hotel, located in East Coast Road, Singapore. As we entered the vicinity, it was full of quiet shops and bars which were closed during noontime, and it wasn’t lively and bright at all - as compared to other establishments in Singapore. But then, as we reached the end of the ground floor ( walking further ), then, we finally saw the busy atmosphere of the usual Chinese restaurant on a Sunday lunch - waitresses running around, buffet tables, tables of families in their warm chatter, oh, it seemed like home.

Dimsum in The Paramount is only served during lunchtime, and we did not avail of the dimsum buffet since we wanted to order other food. But then, the dimsum served were really, really tres delicious. Can I say heaven?


Delectable siew mai ( siomai ), lotsa meat, juicy, and perfect.
