Cornish Arms, Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia

I have a mate living up in Brunswick, and rather than him coming into the city for beer and food I sometimes jump on the tram and head 20 minutes north.

Brunswick is a quick tram ride up Elizabeth Street, Royal Parade past Melbourne Uni and then Sydney Road.

The Cornish Arms is a largish pub a couple of tram stops past Barkly Square shopping centre.

Urban Roti, Lau Pa Sat, Singapore

I’d been traipsing around the financial area of Singapore when lunchtime arrived. I was a block or so from Lau Pa Sat a huge hawker centre with probably 100 small food stalls selling every conceivable food under the sun.

I had an itch for Indian food and after having a quick look around settled upon Urban Roti. They offer a lunch special of Chicken Biryani but more importantly you can sit in an enclosed restaurant with air-conditioning!

Nam Nam Noodle Bar, Raffles City, Singapore

I’m not one for paying the usurious dollars that hotels charge for breakfast so, on the very odd occasion I do have breakfast, I try to find a more reasonably priced option.

In the basement of Raffles City shopping centre in Singapore is a decent food court with many and varied eating options.

Bao Today, Marina Square, Singapore

Bao Today is a Dim Sum cafe with a superb menu at quite reasonable prices which you can see of their website.

I stumbled across this place back in May 2015 and ended up taking a colleague here later on in our trip. The one I’ve eaten at is at Marina Square.
