I have social anxiety, but I don’t feel it with people I’m comfortable with like my cousins. I practically saw them grow up, being the much older cousin. They were the cutest toddlers. It’s true what they say about cousins … Continue reading

TWG at Marina Bay Sands

Service still kinda sucks, but I can’t resist the pretty crockery and fragrant teas. The scones are some of the best I’ve had especially with the clotted cream and refreshing tea jam. The sandwiches are forgettable and pathetic for the … Continue reading

Back to Kampong Glam for Tea

The nasi lemak reminded me of what we would get in Malaysia but what is most comforting to me is the tea prepared by the experienced owner. Very humble settings next to the alcohol free perfume store. This sarabar stall … Continue reading

This was my third visit to this outlet of Jones the Grocer and I love the laid back vibe. It’s at the 4th level next to the bookstore and it never gets too crowded here. Again I tried something I’ve … Continue reading

The Providore at Mandarin Gallery

It’s always fun to try out brand new places and especially when you have great company. I must say firstly that this place reminds me of Jones the Grocer. It was very pleasant to sit here and chat.  The decor … Continue reading

New Love for Pasarbella

What an absolute treat it was to visit Pasarbella, the upscale farmer’s market at Turf City (now called Grandstand), at an off peak hour. So peaceful and serene, I yearn to return. An extreme contrast to my very first visit … Continue reading

Lovely French Crepes & Creme Brulee at Paul

Was at Paul at Ngee Ann City (I refer to it as Taka even though Taka is just the department store section) again. The crepe reminded me of what we had in Paris. Sinful but so good. More pancake like … Continue reading

Liang Court: Tea at Dulcet & Studio Again

Think I’ll soon be a regular here. Love the cream puffs and it also happens to be their most popular item. The rose marble cake looked pretty but I found it too strong in terms of flavour. It was like … Continue reading

Ignored at PS Cafe (Dempsey)

It’s a pity as the ambience is so lovely. It seems like the wait staff were not making eye contact on purpose. It was so obvious. The people in the table next to us resorted to practically doing the wave … Continue reading

Canele at Plaza Singapura

This was my second time at Canele, but my first time at this outlet at Plaza Singapura’s new wing. Whenever I feel guilty I try to have salad. But this salad was doused in salad dressing. Mentioned this to D … Continue reading

Some things you can’t quite explain, but I like the vibe at Hediard in spite of the prices. Just my second time here but I’m charmed by the place hidden in a quaint little Tudor style building. I know the … Continue reading

New Cafe at Liang Court: Dulcet & Studio

Wanted to have cakes here the last time but the place was just too crowded, being new and all. This time it was better but the ordering system still seemed a tad messy. Instead of allowing us to be seated … Continue reading

My Favourite Hotels for High Tea

Blogged about it here. If only the Fullerton Bay High Tea would start earlier and last longer like the one at Shangri-la, I would declare it as my top pick.

Best Teh Tarik in Singapore (Nameless Stall at Kampong Glam)

The elderly white bearded uncle at the little nameless tea shop, just opposite Kampong Glam cafe makes the best tea in Singapore hands down. It’s called a Sarabat stall (selling mainly drinks and run by mainly Indian Muslim owners) and … Continue reading

Finally Tried Out Paris Baguette (French inspired Korean Cafe in Singapore)

Talked about Paris Baguette recently, but I’ve now finally checked it out for real. Had to, as it seems like the hottest place in town at the moment.  I’m always curious about new places. Although you can probably only truly … Continue reading

A New TWG at ION: Smug Service, but I’m a Sucker for the Tea

We have wanted to try the high tea at TWG but always miss out as we are there well before 3pm. It seems worthwhile. But now that I’ve tried it I’m not so sure. All the items are so tiny. … Continue reading

French Comfort Food at Hediard

I just love the Tanglin area and it would be a dream to live here. It’s away from the bustle of town but not too far away either. I’ve always felt that Tudor Court is one of the most quaint … Continue reading
