Posted on August 23, 2012 by bookjunkie

Shared my thoughts about the movie Brave, plus other movies I’ve recently watched and liked. Merida has the best hair and accent ever. So different and so refreshing. Always felt that wild untamed hair needs to be appreciated more and … Continue reading →

Posted on July 31, 2012 by bookjunkie

I have been meaning to catch an artistic movie but our theatres seem to only be filled with blockbusters and other crap, some of which I wouldn’t even watch if you paid me. The trailers seem to indicate pure violence, … Continue reading →

Gardens by the Bay: OCBC Skyway (Avoid if You’re Scared of Heights)

Didn’t have a Good Experience at Halia

Posted on October 20, 2011 by bookjunkie

I wouldn’t recommend Halia at Botanic Gardens (next to the Ginger Garden) as the prices were just too high and the service seemed a tad snooty. I felt so disappointed, because I really wanted to love the place. The waiter … Continue reading →

Posted on October 13, 2011 by bookjunkie

I have been wanting to try this Briyani for quite some time. I was slightly disappointed as my expectations were high. To state it point blank, the Briyani at Yakadar which is a little stall at Tekka market, blows this … Continue reading →

Found myself dining at CoCo Ichibanya (The Curry House), just shortly after this chain from Japan, opened their first Singapore outlet. I am embarrassed to be pegged a kiasu Singaporean, but in my defense at least I didn’t go on … Continue reading →
