Room Coffee Bar at ARC: Great Place for Breakfast & Cakes

I couldn’t decided between waffles and cakes at Room (later inside the lift I saw that kids under 12 get free waffles with a big breakfast order and that sounds good). And it was hard to pick one cake. They … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photos: Hot Dog Stand at Great World City

I didn’t try the hot dogs as I was full already, but I wonder if they can match what I’ve had at The Brat (Plaza Singapura).

Singapore Daily Photos: Toys at Giant (Supermarket)

The bear is almost a metre high. I wonder if it’s too big for little kids. Might scare them or thrill them to bits. Eager for when my nieces are old enough for dolls. And I’ve aways found it so … Continue reading

Juice & Coffee at Canele

Beside a good latte, they have really interesting juice concoctions at Canele. It wasn’t served chilled though, which was a pity. And yay for free iced water.

Annoyed at The Cathay

Pretty display of cranes at The Cathay, but unfortunately the latest Star Trek movie sucked. I felt a zero emotional connection and it was all so cliche. Perhaps I was tired, but I actually almost fell asleep in the middle … Continue reading

Smoothie King – A Great Place to Have Wraps

I find smoothies in general a bit too sweet and I was shocked by the calorie counts. I was quite impressed by the spicy grilled chicken wrap I had (cost S$5.90) and I will be returning for the wraps. The … Continue reading

A Seat at Dean & Deluca

It was pretty good, but I still have to say I preferred the cupcake I had at Jones the Grocer recently. Well, at least this time I could get a seat easily at Dean & Deluca. The euphoria has died … Continue reading

Beautiful Tempting Produce at Expanded Dean & Deluca

I was so tempted by the fresh produce, food and drinks but not so much for the price tags. Also don’t like buying things are lugging them around when I’m far from home. But yes, the fresh produce looks almost … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photos: Counting Sheep

This display at the Sleep Academy at Centrepoint (mall) seems to attract the kids. Parents as well, as I saw them coax their kids to pose with the soft toys for photos. Pretty creative for a new mattress section.

Returned for Great Vietnamese Food at Joo Chiat

I was disappointed that the pho and spring rolls I had in Hanoi did not beat fresh spring rolls and pho at Long Phung (blogged about this place many times), but what I had in Ho Chi Minh City sure … Continue reading

Penny University

Tried out Penny University at East Coast Road (very near the famous hokkien mee and prawn mee soup) and I am eager to return for the coffee. The booth seats are pretty comfy and surprisingly not squeezy (they were generous … Continue reading

NTUC Shopping: Calpis Icebar

I love Calpis soda (it’s a bit like a yoghurt fizzy drink and wanted to try this but I was too far away from home and the ice cream would have melted by then).

These days I’m interested in shopping – if it’s for baby or kiddie stuff. Recently I found that City Square is one such place.

At NTUC: Tartare Sauce

I do love its creamy tangy taste, even more than just plain mayo. It always makes any fish dish taste so much better. So what’s your favourite brand. I’ve never tasted the Heinz version before, but I do like their … Continue reading

Another Mall in Singapore that’s Stroller Friendly

Changi City Point is not my favourite place because it’s just full of branded outlet stores which I find boring (a reason why it is a top search hit on my blog), but I do like the wide aisles. I … Continue reading
