Honeycomb Ice Cream at Cold Rock

There used to be a time when we had to travel all the way to Australia to get a honeycomb ice-cream or anything with honeycomb in it.  No more.  I was excited to discover a Cold Rock Ice Creamery at … Continue reading

#9. Deliciously Light and Healthy Vietnamese Wrap (Pho Hoa at Rasapura)

The girl behind the counter looked like she didn’t want to be there, but the wrap was good. It cost S$5.  I asked for a grilled chicken baugette but she glumly said “Don’t Have”. Oh well. Liked the sweet and … Continue reading

It was awesome to get a mention at the official blog of the Las Vegas Sands Corp. You can check it out at Cup of Tea Anyone? One day I hope I get to go to Las Vegas after hearing … Continue reading

Places to Indulge: TWG Tea Garden

There are now two great places for high tea at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Both by TWG which stands for The Wellness Group. I somehow prefer the one on the Bridge because there is a bit more privacy … Continue reading

Cut – By Wolfgang Puck

As we were passing by Cut at Marina Bay Sands, we noticed there was photo shoot going on with some gorgeous models. I wonder if it was for the Sands magazine. Here’s a wonderful review by Crystal of Expat Bostonians … Continue reading

Gorgeous Architecture: Marina Bay Sands

There are some buildings in Singapore that are such eyesores and so poorly designed that I wish they would take a cue off the innovative architecture of the Marina Bay Sands. I know I have photographed this building so much … Continue reading

Brunch on the Bridge (TWG at Marina Bay Sands)

TWG might be a tad snooty (still not as atas as PS Cafe), but it’s the place that most women who love high tea, would appreciate. The cutlery and table settings were all just so pretty. The natural light flooding … Continue reading

Inspired at the Art Science Museum (7 of 11)

If you’ve ever played Pet Society on Facebook (used to be addicted to it before I quit cold turkey), you’ll recognize the Dali couch in the form of red lips. It was one of the most expensive and exclusive items … Continue reading

Inspired at the Art Science Museum (6 of 11)

As a child I have always loved the idea of angels. There are one of the most comforting symbols to me. Also I had no idea that Dali sculptures (not original ones) were found all over the world, in public … Continue reading

Inspired at the Art Science Museum (5 of 11)

The Dali Exhibits were divided according to his work. Like this one – Mythology and Religion. The butterfly – to help man escape daily worries for lightness. I wish there was a way the butterflies on earth could help us … Continue reading

Inspired at the Art Science Museum (3 of 11)

I found the Dali sculptures both beautiful and thought provoking.  I definitely have quite a lot of repressed feelings and I probably repressed them, just to survive.  I think this is probably true of most people. An interpretation of A … Continue reading

Inspired at the Art Science Museum (2 of 11)

I have so much to show you from the museum visit that I need to do this in many parts. I must say, that just the layout and design of the museum itself was of a high standard and reminded … Continue reading

Inspired at the Art Science Museum (1 of 11)

When we first decided to visit the brand new Art Science Museum at Marina Bay Sands, I was expecting the experience to be good. But honestly, I never expected it to be this good. Oh you just have to see … Continue reading

More of Walking Around & Exploring The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands

The last time I was here, TWG was just under construction. It’s now up, looking so pretty and luxurious. What a nice location too – right on top the canal. Tried TWG just once at ION, and I loved the … Continue reading

Relaxing with Tea, at Java Detour (The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands)

When you buy tea from a cafe it’s always nice to have real tea leaves, even if it comes in a bag. Most of the time I pay the same and get tea bags filled with lower quality tea dust … Continue reading

Chewing Gum Man, the 10 Digit Hand & Other Art (Marina Bay Sands)

Cool art installation. I wonder what statement is being made here. More weird art that makes you stop and take a second look. The single hand with 10 digits. It’s ugly to me, but striking indeed. I was attracted by … Continue reading

As near as I will get to the Casino (Marina Bay Sands)

Even if there was no entrance fee for Singaporeans of S$100, I don’t think I would rush to come here. I don’t really get the thrill of gambling, but I do like the surrounding attractions and just the hugeness of … Continue reading

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Window Shopping

Even though I have empty pockets, it’s still nice to walk around The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. For one, it has huge spacious walkways that remind me of the malls in the US. And it is quite relaxing as … Continue reading

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Yu Cuisine

Another new eatery. This time Cantonese. A fancy Tim Sum and Seafood place with a groovy silver and purple decor. It looked more like a modern furniture or lighting store than a restaurant. Here’s a foodie review of the place … Continue reading

Another option if you want to sit by a water feature and Coffee Bean is too crowded.

Rasapura: Food Court around the Skating Rink at Marina Bay Sands

It’s nice to sit by the huge skating rink (artificial because otherwise it would be freezing). There were many kids skating and some even cried that they were bored, but their parents implored them to carry on since they already … Continue reading

Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Where you can take a sampan ride and experience gushing water inside a mall

Don’t think I’ll ever ride the sampan. Just seems to contrived and unreal, when I could take a nice bumboat ride out to one of the little islands from Changi instead. But I think kids would enjoy this and I’d … Continue reading
