Supply & Demand Restaurant



Foodpanda delivery from Supply & Demand Italian restaurant, the latest Italian pizza place with branches in Novena, Esplanade, Orchard Gateway.


It's just prosciutto pizza and spiced strawberry tea. Keeping my orders simple as I noticed that my bigger orders tend to get cancelled. Foodpanda gives free dining credits with each cancelled order but its very inconvenient for my mealtimes.


The strawberry tea has a fake plasticky smell and taste but its got mulling spices inside that makes a good difference. Other menu items are pretty authentic Italian.

Wheeler's Yard



Foodpanda delivery from Wheeler's Yard a converted warehouse eatery behind Shaw Plaza. The space is pretty cool and I wanted to take a detour to try out this place before.


I ordered Strawberry Mint Cooler, Caprese Salad and Fish & Chips.


I would have liked the cooler to be sweeter but its a basil mix so its not meant to be sweet.


The burrata cheese is really meaty and not soo creamy, I was almost full after this salad. Another good thing about this salad is the sweet balsamic reduction.


I upgraded the chips to truffle chips with furikake sprinkles, very addictive. The fried fish is too amazing for words, I think this is the same type of fish served steamed in Chinese Restaurants. It's deep fried in a beer batter here and comes with homemade tartare sauce that is a little runny but you can taste freshly made.

Burgers & More / R&B Tea



Foodpanda delivery from Burgers & More located at United Square, next to Jacob's Ladder. There are no drinks on the delivery menu, not even canned soda.


I ordered black pepper steak with fries $17.90 and chicken popcorn $7. The popcorn chicken came in a large box, I was only expecting a small side portion. The beef steak is really good but it has that Aussie eucalyptus-y herbs in it.


R&B Tea is one of those new bubble tea shops, also located in United Square. I ordered 2 of their bestsellers - Mighty Luffy with crystal balls topping and Brown Sugar Milk Tea with oolong #23 tea pudding topping.


That's XL size where I can see entire fruits floating around inside and L size which I think is the standard bubble tea size. Total $15 including delivery fee.


It's a fruit cup, mixed with the tea, I feel like I am on vacation.

Oopen Pasta & Grill



Foodpanda delivery from Oopen Pasta & Grill, located at Ibis Hotel opposite Mt E Novena Hospital. I passed by this place several times before but never went in.


My order of Shirley Temple mocktail, slipper lobster laksa and vegetable pakoras. Total $31.50 including delivery fee. That mocktail is really good, worth trying again.


Vegetables are cauliflower, broccoli and kale. Kale is something I haven't tried before and tastes like seaweed. This portion size is a meal by itself and the deep fried veges goes well with the mint yogurt dip.


My mom brought back these Nissin cup noodles that have the most incredible broth ever for instant noodles. It's Kyushu black pork with roasted garlic or bonito flavor.

Asprey, London "Royal Warrant"



Asprey London is a purveyor of fine goods and holds a royal warrant attesting to the quality. To me its famous for being a Brit brand and having high prices. It's well publicized that this is the place to come to for custom silver homegoods.


Purple Water is the name of its in-house toiletries brand that has a perfume as well, $75 USD for 50ml. Ritz Carlton Hotels globally stock Asprey Purple Water in the rooms, so I guess its possible to put in a bulk order for your own personal use.


 My top 2 picks from its jewelry collections are Golden Pearl Rocket Necklace P.O.A. and Woodland Charm Bracelet that's around $65,000 USD. When I first saw the price I thought it was pretty expensive, then I realized that's the price of charm bracelets in Europe in general.

Asprey is famous for its handbags, a real trophy for females. I had a look at the website and I really like the colourful lizard skins even though its a bit scary. There are horsehair bags, a nod to Royal Ascott.

When I got my Hermes Birkin bag, it was a custom order and it took over a decade to arrive. It was that hard to get and when everyone started talking about the diamond Hermes Birkin bag, it was going to be that much harder to obtain. The alternative is the diamond Asprey Private Collection bags.

The private collection bags are available in gemstones, precious metals, exotic skins. Retail price is surprisingly lower than Hermes diamond Birkin and its also easily available coz the Private Collection comes out every year in 10 to 50 pieces.
