Ignored at PS Cafe (Dempsey)
It’s a pity as the ambience is so lovely. It seems like the wait staff were not making eye contact on purpose. It was so obvious. The people in the table next to us resorted to practically doing the wave … Continue reading

Horrible Late Hours Work Culture
I will never understand why many bosses expect and demand that employees stay late at work. It doesn’t matter if you take home work to complete. They don’t care. They want to be able to actually see you at the … Continue reading

Breakfast Makes Me Sick
I love breakfast type of food like pancakes, bacon and eggs but I’m just not into eating at breakfast time. I think that sometimes nutritional theories keep changing, and what’s been determined to be good for now may turn out … Continue reading
Omakase Burger: Would Return for the Root Beer Float
Quite a pleasant place and I would return for the root beer float but not the chicken burger. Felt I had wasted calories with the very oily deep fried burger and the cheesy fries. B liked the beef burger though … Continue reading

New at Turf Club Road: The Grandstand
Doesn’t seem a popular thing to say, but please let me whine that sometimes Singapore is boring. There is not much change in terms of weather and not much of nature to explore as we are an extremely tiny island. … Continue reading

Marks & Spencer Bakery (Wheelock Place)
Everything smells so good here. The wafting scent of freshly baked bread can make you weak in the knees. Pity there is no cafe where you can have a seat or a drink. A walk through this place can really … Continue reading

Can’t Rave Enough About Maison Kayser
There may be a lot more cooler cafes opening but Maison Kayser is still number one to me and I hope the feeling does not change or the service deteriorate. I guess it’s because I feel so comfortable here and … Continue reading

Spruce at Phoenix Park
Recently tried out Spruce which I didn’t know existed. It’s hidden away at Phoenix Park. I liked it. It’s got the garden ambience of PS Cafe but with much better food and service. Service here was so warm and welcoming … Continue reading

Poulet at Bugis Plus: Lovely Roast Chicken, but Service Staff Need Training

Our Shooting Star
Thinking about someone very close to me today. Someone we lost. Someone who is always on my mind even if it’s been a few years. Time becomes immaterial when you lose someone, although time does help you cope. He had … Continue reading
