Returned for Great Vietnamese Food at Joo Chiat

Posted on May 23, 2013 by bookjunkie

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

Posted on May 17, 2013 by bookjunkie

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

Posted on May 17, 2013 by bookjunkie

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).

Another Mall in Singapore that’s Stroller Friendly

Posted on May 9, 2013 by bookjunkie

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 →

I know that everyone’s trying to get a seat at the famed Tim Ho Wan from Hong Kong, but I am satisfied with the offerings at Crystal Jade and the Old Hong Kong Taste at My Village. The tiny egg … Continue reading →

Perhaps I’ll try it one day and if I do I will definitely order the char siew pau which is my favourite tim sum item. B was very keen to try it, even take away, but the take away counter … Continue reading →

Finally Tried Macarons from Laduree Singapore

Posted on May 7, 2013 by bookjunkie

Finally tried Laduree. Just didn’t feel right though, to have it in a takeaway bag. Definitely spoils the experience. I would skip the chocolate next time and definitely go for the rose again. The orange blossom was lovely and fragrant … Continue reading →

Pasarbella

Posted on May 5, 2013 by bookjunkie

Checked out Pasarbella at Turf City (now called The Grand Stand) which is turning out to be the place for dining rather than just used cars. The only thing local about it is the name pasar (which means market in … Continue reading →

Wild Honey at Scotts Square

Posted on May 5, 2013 by bookjunkie

We were craving for breakfast in the evening. Made a reservation but in the end there was no need to. There were a number of tables empty. I would order the same breakfast again – the St Michel – tomatoes … Continue reading →
