My friends and I tried the Eco Gourmet Cafe for the recent Restaurant Week. The restaurant is situated in Labrador Nature Reserve at 30 Labrador Villa Road.

By now, we are all aware of what happened to Japan. The recent series of events are eerily too similar to an over the top apocalypse movie. First, was an earthquake of almost 9 magnitude – the strongest ever recorded to hit Japan. Then it was followed by a huge tsunami that wiped out the [...]
