The Dewi

I finally had the chance to visit this place, after knowing about it when I went to The Lab SG  (my experience the other day). Jalan Pisang has a lot of nice eateries, I'm so happy. That day when I first saw this establishment, as well as the day when I was finally able to eat there, this place was the same: super crowded. It's amazing to see that many people queue-ing outside, snaking around the corner of the street, especially when that tiny street has at least three other halal restaurants. So, I knew it had to be good. It doesn't show you the queue here, but it was long (it was on the right side) I went all the way to Bugis, from Bukit Batok, for a plate of mixed rice, it better be good. Before my visit, I asked a friend of mine, who also happens to be an Indonesian, and has had the chance to eat there (regularly) since her office is nearby, for an opinion. She said it sells good food, very much to her liking, but that it doesn't taste like your typical Ma...

As promised, I will gladly share with you the cafe I went to the last time I went to Jalan Pisang. My friend introduced me to this place. It's a hole in the wall type of place, with a very eccentric feel to it, at least to me. At first, I thought I just stepped into an indoor garden, I really did, or maybe I just could not see very well. As my eyes adjusted to the light, the first thing that caught my attention was the table. They seem to be made from recycled woods, reshaped, repainted, given a new life back, and I like that. I couldn't help to touch them for some reason, and it was clean (yippiiee). Always a plus when you're eating at a new place, it has already made a good first impression on me. That's not always the case, you know. As I took a clearer look around the place, I found out that what made me thought it was a garden, was the huge flower bouquet at the back of the room. I guess, the mind works in mysterious ways sometimes. After I realized my mi...

The other day, I went to Bugis to meet my friend. Bugis is a gem for halal eateries, but it's so far from where I live, which is in Jurong. (First of all, the definition of 'far' for people who live in Singapore is a bit different from normal version of 'far'). But some places are definitely worth the trip, like this bakery on Jalan Pisang. Initially, we went to Jalan Pisang to have lunch at this halal cafe (hopefully, I can tell you all about it soon). But we were there at almost 12 pm and the place was still closed. The sign says it opens 12 pm. Meanwhile, across the street a small line was starting to form in front of this charming chic little bakery. You can see the people inside bustling about, getting ready. I was beginning to get curious, then I saw this sign up front. Then I started to think that, 'Hey, maybe joining this line is not a bad idea, number 2 and 5 seem great!' And so I did. Look at the 'Closed' sign on the window. They...
