I was intro-ed to this fantastic restaurant, Porta Porta @ 971 Upper Changi North Rd, Changi Garden 2 weeks ago. I knew i had to try this out as it looked great!

The moment you stepped into Porta Porta, you feel as tho you are thrown into a new world and have gone into an Italian house, its a small restaurant, with a mezzanine level that has a large couch that screams Italian Grandma's house!

The walls are adorned with wine bottles and black and white photos of celebrities. I love this place! And i havent even gone on to the food yet! :)

This place reminds me of Portobello @ Killiney road, which is another place that serves great italian and mediterranean cruisine.

Anyway Porta Porta is indeed very pricey for an Al funghi, pesto and an anti pasto starter. But i gaurantee that you'd fall in love with this place. ;)

Ok, this is a blog created by 2 chemical engineers called Tham Tham and Yang Ma Ma whose other blog that we prefer you to head to is

Anyway the reason why we have created this blog is because we are well, bored engineers. There's only so much that you can write on sheep and wine and we both refuse to put in other topics unrelated to sheep and wine in our respective blogs so we have created this new blog to put in all kinds of spiffy stuff that we think you should eat, drink and do when u are as bored as us.

I stayed with a friend in Sweden who introduced this to me and i am glad to say that it can be found in Singapore, at IKEA! It costs only SGD 5.90! And for someone like me who loves savoury stuff, this is the absolute nicest thing to start your day!


ABBA Kalles Creamed Cod Roe (SGD 5.90) : Kalles is the name of the fair haired boy on the tube whose father is the owner of the ABBA Manufacturing plant which makes this creamed cod roe. Its secret recipe was sold for less than USD 100 more than 50 yrs ago and is now worth probably millions.

Swedish Hard bread: Traditional bread baked by the swedes to last through the harsh winters that cause their crops to die out...

Anyway do try it if you are a fan of the Scandic cruisine!
