My Haven of Food for the Food Enthusiasts
About Me
Profile
My name is Aisha, a perfectionist and a complete foodie. I love food and I love exploring food at every corners of Singapore and if I can afford to go to another country, I would definitely become a world-class food blogger. Dining, travelling, Movies, Shopping are my interests and I love makeup too. I always get my hands working on eye-shadows and I learn to apply through the online tutorials in youtube.
I love camwhoring and most of the time; I am armed with a camera and that explains the food pictures in my blog.
I am blessed!

USMAN RESTAURANT
Some places leap out at you, and quickly become favourites. Others take their time, grow on you, till you realise that they are constantly there, in the background, as solid staples that tend not to let you down.Usman is one of the latter. For me at least. Located in the heart of Arab Street, on the main drag, Bussorah Road (opp Amirah’s grill), it does a vibrant trade from passing pedestrians and regulars. Set where it is, it is one of the first eateries to catch the eye of those wandering the rows of shop fronts.
A wide space, it works mainly from a self-serve stainless steel warmer server. However, if you require anything, waiters and waitresses will attend your table.
I've eaten here for the first time and the food is solid, consistent, without being brilliant. One of my staple joints.
Most recently I went there at about 3 in the afternoon to celebrate my Bf’s 21st birthday with my loved ones. The food was not that bad. The briyani was good. The spicy hot plate chilli chicken was not spicy at all and the rest of the other dishes were satisfactory. The daal was OK, and the naan they made was fresh for the rest.
The prices for the dishes there were reasonable and it was not pricey for 9 of us.
As I say, the food were satisfactory but if you are wandering around Arab Street and the tummy worms start to gurgle, you could just step into Usman Restaurant. The manager is a very nice man and he has a very warm smile that is welcoming.

BALI THAI
BALI THAI
Feel the ethnic ambience with tasteful artifacts that reflects the unique fusion of Indonesian and Thai culture at Bali-Thai Restaurant. This halal-certified restaurant offers a unique marriage of Balinese and Thai cuisines.
We wanted to taste something different from Indian so we headed down to Bali Thai to Suntec City for dinner. It was yet another get together dinner with my BFF to celebrate their birthdays and reminisce over dinner.
As both Farhanah and Saliha were born in the same month of June, we celebrated both their birthdays together.
I presented them their birthday gifts and we also had a great time munching down our food at Bali Thai. We went for ala carte so that we can choose our own dishes.
I totally forgot what the names of the dishes we chose are but I know that we ordered mutton, omelette and a teriyaki chicken dish. All the dishes were up to the mark and even though the prices of the food were pricey it’s worth it. For a delicious treat, do try out the chef’s recommendations as whatever we ordered were under the Chef’s recommendation category.
As I felt like going for something more traditional and Thai, I went for a whole coconut drink which was soo tasty that it quenched my thirst. Farhanah is a crazy about Ruby so she ordered Rubyan Saliha didn’t order any cause she wanted share with me the coconut drink.
Overall, BALI THAI was a good experience and the food was delicious. Thumbs up.

ALA-TURKA
ALA TURKA
This was the day when I went out with my BFFs to reminisce over my birthday dinner. We searched through the net for a nice Middle Eastern Food to feast on and I came across this restaurant. We feasted on Turkish cuisine and the food was so delicious and yummy. They had a very unique way of serving us food and the ambience was fantastic. The restaurant also has a heart-warming ambience of traditional Turkish tiles.
Firstly we ordered Spring rolls, as known as “Borek” for starters. But Turkish spring rolls were very different from what we see and eat in Singapore. These spring rolls were stuffed with cheese and they were very crispy and yummy.
And then for the main course we ordered, “Karisik Kebab” which has a combination of 3 different kebabs, which were mainly chicken and lamb. The dish was served in a very traditional style plate with rice in the middle and kebabs decorated in an appealing manner.
But unfortunately, the drinks that we ordered did not taste that nice. Saliha ordered Apple Tea wherea I ordered something hot which was the Traditional style coffee although I don’t drink coffee at all and Farhanah ordered this Mango juice but it was too thick and I couldn’t even drink it. And my coffee, I need to keep adding 3-4 sachets of sugar because it wasn’t sweet at all.
After our dinner, like you guys could have predicted, how can there be no camwhoring when I am around. HAHA, we camwhored everywhere in the restaurant.
Overall, I would rank the ALATURKA restaurant as A+. =)
