Combining the classic French pastry with the local passion for salted egg yolk, the Salted Egg Yolk Cream Puff ($12 for a half dozen) was born.

Located right in the CBD, this is a dessert haven that carries light, artisanal pastries and bakes. Served in a chic minimalist shop, one of their most raved about creations is the Choux Crème ($4.90).
[caption id="attachment_23746" align="aligncenter" width="1600"] Translating into “The Delights” in French, choux pastries are the specialty of Les Délices. Crisp on the outside and hollow and chewy in the middle, it’s perfect for filling up with their delicious pastry creams. [caption id="attachment_24786" align="aligncenter" width="640"] Their signature puffs come in 3 different flavours – Valrhona Guanaja Choux, Matcha Choux, Earl Grey Choux ($5.90 each). Topped with a crunchy cookie layer, it’s definitely a treat for both the eyes and the tastebuds.

Authentic Sarawak cuisine isn’t easy to find in Singapore… at all.
Thanks to Face To Face Noodle House, that’s no longer the case!
[caption id="attachment_24705" align="aligncenter" width="2048"]
Image Credit: Face To Face Noodle House[/caption]
Their special noodle recipe traces its roots to Sarawak over 100 years ago. The story begins when the founder’s great grandfather mastered the art of making Jook Sing noodles, one of the rarest forms of noodle-making in existence.
The fresh homemade noodles that he served quickly captured the hearts and stomachs of many Sarawakians.
And Singaporeans too, once they set up shop here in 2015!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BSI7DfOAPgx/?taken-by=piinkmasquerade
Our ambassador, Stephanie, was hosted to a sumptuous dinner just the other night!
We dug into delish bowls of Sarawak Laksa and Sarawak Traditional Noodles. Their secret family recipe definitely delighted our tastebuds!

Make Your Masterchef Fantasies A Reality With A Little Help From This Cooking School
You know how in Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsay is always yelling at the chefs for serving raw scallops and beef wellingtons? You’d think that after half a season, they’d at least be able to serve cooked food. Jeez, how difficult is it to cook?
We at DiscoverSG decided to try our hand at cooking, and barely a minute into pounding a mixture of chili, shallots and garlic, we understood: being a chef is tough.
Sure, we love cooking. It’s fun and–dare we say–worth the hard work. But as food enthusiasts looking to improve our culinary skills without having to spend a bomb, we know how impossible that task is. So imagine our excitement when we discovered culinary lessons that are not only taught by professional chefs, but are also absolutely free. Well, sort of.
[caption id="attachment_23947" align="aligncenter" width="640"]
Image Credit: Established in 2006, 
Image Credit: Not gonna lie, but Palate Sensations’ open concept kitchen is amazeballs. Outfitted with sharp knives, pasta makers, and all sorts of other equipment, we’re telling you, the studio is essentially a culinary playground.
[caption id="attachment_24071" align="alignnone" width="1600"]
Look how inviting everything is![/caption]
After donning our aprons, we were attached to Executive Chef Brenda Chew, previously a Pastry Chef at Jamie’s Italian Sydney, and Chef Instructor Loreta Valdez, who conducts classes for domestic helpers.
Working in pairs, some of us had fun kneading our own pasta dough for the Fresh Pasta with Vongole while the others meticulously chopped and pounded the ingredients for the Thai Green Curry paste.
[caption id="attachment_24073" align="alignnone" width="1200"]
Making pasta from scratch![/caption]
With a printout of the detailed recipe and your very own chef instructor, we have to say it is nearly impossible for you to set anything on fire. Not only are the instructors professional and patient, their passion is sure to bring out your inner chef!
[caption id="attachment_24074" align="alignnone" width="1600"]
Fresh Pasta with Vongole[/caption]
[caption id="attachment_24075" align="alignnone" width="1600"]
Thai Papaya Salad[/caption]
After an hour-long crash course in cooking, we had on our table the Fresh Pasta with Vongole, Thai Papaya Salad and Thai Green Chicken Curry.
[caption id="attachment_24076" align="alignnone" width="1200"]
Panna Cotta with Seasonal Fresh Fruit Compote[/caption]
For dessert, we whipped up a fresh batch of Panna Cotta with Seasonal Fresh Fruit Compote.
Were they delicious? Yes. Would we do it again? Definitely, especially when the classes can be covered by That’s right, with approximately thirty different parliament house! A two-day session at $250 per person that is claimable with your SkillsFuture Credit, get ready to learn to cook everything from pasta to pastries!
Besides giving us the recipe to take home, Brenda also said we could give her a ring should we encounter problems re-creating the dish. That alone is sweeter than our handmade desserts!
So if you’re a wannabe Masterchef looking for a place to start, we highly recommend heading to Palate Sensations for a taste of what its like being a professional chef in a very professional kitchen.
Now if you excuse us, we’ve got some Panna Cotta to re-create.

[caption id="attachment_23921" align="alignnone" width="2880"]

Here is where you’ll find genuinely good Italian food that doesn’t call for a pound of flesh. They’re generous with their portions, do not scrimp on their cheese (cheese lovers take note) and use fresh, quality ingredients. Read on to see what’s good.
Starters
1. Caesar Salad from the Cheese Wheel Menu ($19++)
[caption id="attachment_23902" align="alignnone" width="2880"]
Image Credit: Chong Yi Sze[/caption]
Prepared in a uniquely traditional Italian method right by our table, the salad was tossed in the middle of a 20kg Grana Padano cheese wheel.
[caption id="attachment_23919" align="alignnone" width="871"]
Image Credit: Chong Yi Sze[/caption]
While the salad was being mixed, the server scraped off fluffy cheese from the wheel to add a creamy, sweet-salty zing to the salad. Smoked chicken and light, crispy croutons were the cherry on top. It was such a refreshing accompaniment to our meal, and also doubled as an effective palate cleanser.
2. Wagyu beef carpaccio ($18++)
[caption id="attachment_23904" align="alignnone" width="2880"]
Image Credit: Chong Yi Sze[/caption]
This dish consisted of finely sliced wagyu, topped with fresh rocket leaves and mushrooms, and drizzled with truffle oil. Amidst the bed of rocket leaves lay delicately-shaved pieces of 24-months old Parmesan cheese. All in all, it was a tasty, clean and refreshing dish. There were no hints of fishiness from the beef, which was sweet and tender. The rocket leaves were fresh, and tasted great with the dressing.
3. Oven Baked Eggplant Alla Parmigiana Style ($16++)
[caption id="attachment_23910" align="alignnone" width="2880"]
Image Credit: Chong Yi Sze[/caption]
This dish of eggplant gratin proved to be a delicious, well-executed twist on the popular potato gratin. Baked to a pleasing softness without being overly mushy, the eggplant pieces were doused in a tomato-herb based sauce that had more flavour and depth than regular pasta sauce.
While potatoes might have weighed the dish down, the eggplant added a lighter touch that was delightfully refreshing. We bet you’ll love the chewy golden Parmesan crust atop the eggplant base. It was generously thick and stringy, and crispy at the edges.
Pizza
4. District 10 Pizza ($19++)
[caption id="attachment_23905" align="alignnone" width="2880"]
Image Credit: Chong Yi Sze[/caption]
This dish was the highlight of the night. The pizza arrived warm and toasty, brimming with the aroma of a good ol’ stone oven. The crust was fluffy and so chock full of ingredients that it bent under their weight when we tried to pick up the pizza slices. The Pancetta ham was smoky and savoury, its fatty juices adding a flavour burst in every bite. Refreshing zucchini pieces were thoughtfully added to counter the richness of the ingredients, which included a sunny side up egg and mushrooms.
Pasta
5. Spaghetti Carbonara with Black Truffle ($24++)
[caption id="attachment_23908" align="alignnone" width="871"]
Image Credit: Chong Yi Sze[/caption]
This dish was another one of our favourites. Al dente pasta coated with creamy carbonara sauce and infused with truffle – what’s not to like? The dish arrived with a sprinkling of finely-shaved black truffle, and a perfectly poached egg that oozed golden yolk.
6. Homemade Angel Hair with Live Lobster, Chilli, Basil and Fresh Tomatoes ($34++)
[caption id="attachment_23909" align="alignnone" width="2880"]
Image Credit: Chong Yi Sze[/caption]
Looking ever so tempting, this dish no doubt lived up to its appearance. The tomato-based sauce was tangy and appetizing, which made us lose track of how much pasta we were eating. The zesty hit of tomato also went very well with the half-shell lobster, which could have been a tad bit more springy.
7. Warm Lava Chocolate Cake and Vanilla Ice Cream ($14++)
[caption id="attachment_23912" align="alignnone" width="2880"]
Image Credit: Chong Yi Sze[/caption]
All it took was a gentle cut and the chocolate lava flowed like an endless river. Safe to say, this tops our list of chocolate lava cakes. The chocolate flavour was intense and the consistency of the lava was great. It wasn’t too runny, nor was it too thick. The cake itself was moist and fluffy, which was a major plus point.
8. Traditional Italian Tiramisu ($14++)
[caption id="attachment_23996" align="alignnone" width="6000"]
Image Credit: Victoinette[/caption]
Likewise, the tiramisu was another crowd pleaser. Topped with cocoa powder and garnished with a berry and holly leaves, it looked like Christmas came early. The light cream sat atop a fluffy cake base flavoured richly with coffee, and was not as bitter as some other tiramisus out there.
While District 10 is known for serving up great-tasting Italian fare, its latest outlet at Suntec City specialises in something rather more unique, but equally delicious. There, choose from an ample variety of flavoursome, dry-aged meats that are beautifully marbled and paired off with premium red wine.
Last but not least, what better way to round off the night than with these sweet deals?

UberEATS will be delivering breakfast daily from 28 March onwards. To kick things off with a bang, they’ll be giving away fresh, buttery croissants from PAUL bakery on the same day, from 8am – 11am.

GuavaPass is a startup that connects you to gyms and fitness studios all over the world. For the couple afraid that all the Valentine’s chocolates would add a few more pounds, or for those who enjoy working out together, this is the gift for you.

All the chocolates and dining out might not be good for the skin, so after a decadent meal, or even as a post-workout downtime for the both of you, how about a facial? And I don’t mean one of those animal print masks either. No, I’m talking more about a decadent experience to share with your partner.
