Amateur Chef and Boozy Traveling Foodie Extraordinaire
Restaurant Reviews of Singapore Restaurants that we have had the good fortune of visiting and eating at on our travels and at home here on The Red Dot, Singapore.
Restaurant reviews on IsLifeARecipe.net aren’t written from a desk with a press release in one hand and a thesaurus in the other. They’re written from the table — usually mid-bite, occasionally mid-spill, always mid-laughter. This blog covers everything from hawker heroes in Singapore to beachside BBQs in Bohol, Michelin-star swagger to plastic-chair perfection. If it’s smoky, spicy, saucy, or spectacularly comforting, it gets photographed, tasted, and judged with honesty. No fluff. No fake praise. Just real plates and real opinions.
Every review dives into what actually matters: what to order, what it costs, whether it’s worth queuing for, and whether you’d take your mates, your date, or your mum. Expect bold flavours, straight-talking verdicts, and the occasional cheeky comment when something misses the mark. From new openings to long-standing legends, these restaurant reviews are about helping you eat better, choose smarter, and maybe loosen your belt one notch at a time. Because life really is a recipe — and some dishes deserve a second helping.

For the past few months I have been writing a ‘column’ of sorts for a local bloke’s magazine EX. Usual format though is that my recipe goes in and someone else cooks it and rates it, their photo and experience type thing – of course I am still very happy with that, to be in
