The last time I dined at Delicious was many years ago. Over time there has been many changes made at their cafes, in terms of management and menu. A recent visit to the Delicious at St Mary Place revealed a menu that’s varied with western choices and local favourites. This particular outlet serves a breakfast buffet and guests staying at the nearby E&O Residences mostly get their breakfast here. For a more interesting dining experience, we checked out a few of their popular orders from the … [Read more...]

It’s also the time when people let loose their belts and plan for feasting gatherings before the year is out. If you are one of those and can’t decide where to have your festive makans, why not check out the … [Read more...]
