Salted Caramel Cinnamon Rolls at Dal Komm Cafe Centrepoint
I usually am not fond of salted caramel but these rolls were actually good and not overly sweet. A quiet and spacious place in town which is rare. Good comfy seats but the only downer is they won’t give you … Continue reading

Perth Trip Day 2: Amazing View at the Pullman Bunker Bay Resort Buffet Breakfast
You can’t see it here, but the skies were clear and sun was blinding. I’m not used to this as humidity in Singapore is high and there is always some cloud cover. And it was pretty crowded so I couldn’t … Continue reading

Our Favourite Dim Sum at Crystal Jade Suntec City Branch
This was truly satisfying after a disappointing experience at Canton Paradise. I feel that the Paradise group does a superior La Mian or handmade noodles and spicy vinegrette dumplings, but for Cantonese food, especially Dim Sum, Crystal Jade can’t be … Continue reading

The Skinny Snowman at VivoCity
It was a really windy moment just before the down pour. Previously we didn’t walk out of the mall due to the covid barricades but now that rules are more relaxed we did. I’m eager for when we don’t have … Continue reading

Dian Xiao Er at VivoCity
Pretty good meal as we haven’t had roast herbal duck in a while. The chilli always makes any meal better and I had 2 types so was very happy.

Nam Sing Hokkien Mee at ION
This lunch was extremely satisfying and I look forward to bringing my cousin here when she visits Singapore again. Portion size is small though and it’s very crowded at lunch hour. It was my first time at the ION Food … Continue reading

Marmalade Pantry at ION
Breaking up my posting on the Perth Trip to post some Singapore food adventures. Been craving for these cupcakes but felt underwhelmed this time. I’m not sure why. Perhaps due to some troubling news regarding my cathaport. Don’t care for … Continue reading

Lovely to See My Cousin After More than 2 Years
We met for a buffet at The Straits Kitchen Hyatt. The quality of food is good and the service very polite and attentive. One of the staff, Huri, took the effort to redo the teh halia (ginger tea) for my … Continue reading

Thomson Plaza: Interesting Signs & Sights at a Retro Mall
This mall has been around since I was a teen so even though it’s changed quite a bit after being renovated it’s cool to see some old stores going strong.

Pink Blue Morning Sky
So beautiful at a quarter to seven a few days ago. So glad I forced myself to get up and resisted the urge to sleep in.

Best Spot at Jewel: We love the French Toast and the View
Haven’t been to Jewel in ages. When we are here, we keep returning to Fun Toast for the view. It’s also not too atas or expensive.

Tried the Dark Meat Hot Chicken Burger at Shake Shack
Been bombarded by images of this on food blogs, so their social media campaign worked even though I only go for breast meat usually. Seeing the pinkish hue of the meat after I took a bite put me off. Also … Continue reading

A Walk in the Rain
I always welcome cooler weather. I am afraid of lightning though. Lightning hits very low and frequently in our thunderstorms, but this was just a light rain in comparison like what you would experience in a temperate country, but wetter … Continue reading

Beautiful Post Rain Sky in the Evening
Decided to capture the sky in the evening instead of my usual pre sunrise posts. That liquid blue against the white was so lovely. Your skin never feels dry here. One good thing about our humidity levels.

We keep returning to the same places mainly due to the draw of coffee the way we like it, and great service. Plus we’re not charged for water.

Singapore Food: Makanan Bollywood
I didn’t know this place existed till my relative from Perth recommended it. At the time they were located at Peninsular Plaza but have since moved to Funan. Higher prices but better ambience. The mutton briyani here is famous, but … Continue reading

Singapore Daily Photo: Skinny Snowman at VivoCity
It’s still there. Looking out into the sea and Sentosa. In congested Singapore it’s nice to catch a glimpse of pockets of space and nature.

Singapore Daily Photo: Mesmerised by The Moon & Venus

#97: A Mall With A Beautiful Indoor Fountain Surrounded by Lush Greenery
Decided to continue the list I started more than a decade ago. Since then probably some things on my list are no more, because Singapore is constantly morphing. But we are now blessed with Jewel and her majestic fountain. It … Continue reading
Beautiful Shades
I love gazing at lovely shades. Some combinations are just more pleasing and harmonious like the pastels at the revamped MOS burger outlets. I’m partial to certain shades of pink, blue and white.
