[#KERBis4] Celebrating 4 Years of KERB

London’s leading food market popup KERB turned 4 yesterday! We went down to the celebration at the West Handyside Canopy, just behind KERB King’s Cross’ usual location at Granary Square.

Of course, KERB … Continue reading [#KERBis4] Celebrating 4 Years of KERB

Gelato Festival 2016: Firenze

When we travelled to Italy in September, the weather was sweltering, with the sun tanning our skin till we were several shades darker.Thankfully, we were lucky enough to be in Florence at the same time as the annual Gelato Festival Finale was taking place! Gelato, for those not in the know, is basically Italian for ice-cream, and often considered lower in fat but higher in sugar … Continue reading Gelato Festival 2016: Firenze

Food: A Poke Theory

I think Hawaiian food is slowly becoming a thing here. After getting our hands on Spam Musubis at the recent Singapore Food Festival, we were hooked, and knew we wanted to explore even more Hawaiian gastronomic delights. Thankfully, we don’t have to rely purely on food festivals for access to that, as we now have not one but two Poke specialists. We want to highlight … Continue reading Food: A Poke Theory

Singapore Night Festival 2016: Husk

Coconut water’s been all the rage recently, and in our humid weather, it’s the number one solution to quenching our thirst. With coconut water providing the much needed boost of electrolytes and natural sugars, it’s the best way to quench that insatiable thirst. That was exactly how we felt after checking out the various events around Bras Basah and Bugis for the Singapore Night Festival, … Continue reading Singapore Night Festival 2016: Husk

SFF 2016: Hawker Spotlight 2016 @ Lagoon Food Village

Over here at BCM Boy, we’re pretty familiar with East Coast Park, since we live so close and venture there for a run or just a day at the beach every once in a while. That’s why we were so excited when we found out about City Gas’ initiative to highlight some of their favourite stalls from Lagoon, and headed down on Sunday afternoon. Hosted … Continue reading SFF 2016: Hawker Spotlight 2016 @ Lagoon Food Village

Food Hunting: Shrimp Mama @ East Coast Lagoon

The other day, we decided to get some food at one of our favourite hawker centres: East Coast Lagoon Food Village. We found comfort in Shrimp Mama (#01-47), a new stall that opened just shy of two months that specialises in seafood with a twist – using Indian spices to flavour them. Going at just $8.90 for a small portion, it’s a steal compared to the … Continue reading Food Hunting: Shrimp Mama @ East Coast Lagoon
