The service at Paul (Ngee Ann City) has improved tremendously. There’s a lady there who reminds me of my secondary school English teacher. She is so polite and attentive and I think they should totally reward her for being such … Continue reading

Bacon & Scrambled Eggs at Cedele
Was craving for bacon, so opted for one of the breakfast items (served all day) at Cedele (Takashimaya/ Ngee Ann City). It was pretty quiet and I liked that you can be sort of left alone. Prices are higher than … Continue reading

Valentine’s Day in Singapore
It’s a very commercialized holiday in Singapore. Every store is having some sort of sale. Like this new Candy store at Ngee Ann City. Everything is just more expensive today, especially flowers. I thought the Jelly Bean mascot was cute.
