It’s always so incredibly tempting to browse at the Marks and Spenser Food Hall. I find the toffees and chocolates especially hard to resist. Dying to try these popsicles one day. There was a section for easter with the requisite … Continue reading

It’s Candy Time: Tohato Strawberry Caramel Corn
Spotted the strawberry caramel corn again in Bugis. Anyone tried this yet? I haven’t tried it because I am afraid it’ll be too sweet. I decided to search for reviews on Youtube and I came across this guy who is … Continue reading

Central: Japanese Supermarket Treats
You can find the sweetest packaging here and it’s especially enticing to girls. Saw some delighted young ladies choosing their treats for the week. Was excited to see Moomin biscuits, having recently fallen in love with these characters in Helsinki … Continue reading

Squid at Jules & Crepe at Wimbly Lu
Absolutely love the shoe string fries here. The squid that was stir fried in garlic and olive oil was so good. Better and healthier than calamari. I was surprised how good it tasted. I also love the Chicken Parmigiani and … Continue reading

My Favourite 2012 iPhone Apps (Free & Paid)
There were several apps that I loaded and have since deleted since I hardly touched them. Since I only recently got a smart phone I might change my mind a couple of months from now, but for the moment these … Continue reading

Pretty Purple Vacuum Cleaner that Looked like Something out of an Alien Movie
Was attracted by this Dyson Vacuum Cleaner that came in jewel tones and which we spotted at Compass Point in Sengkang. Looked very futuristic.

Valu $ Store: Chocolate from the UK & the US
Was agitated by the crowds at Compass Point (I just call it Sengkang Mall). The noise didn’t help. There was an event going on where some local personalities were on the loud speaker trying to sell electronic good like TVs … Continue reading

Takashimaya Food Hall: Snacks like Chicken Pao
These giant chicken paos were so yummy. Treats like tea, chocolate, biscuits, and even super expensive japanese prawn crackers can all be found at the food hall. Mostly gourmet stuff that cost quite a bit. Even if you don’t buy … Continue reading

I like that there’s a mini bowl of Udon at Tsuru-koshi, for just S$4. The regular sized one with an egg that looks so good huh?

TWG Tea Salon at Takashimaya
TWG opened a new branch at Takashimaya. I think Royal Copenhagen used to be in this spot. The Indian owners of TWG must be doing really well and it’s no wonder as I’m sure their profit margins are very high. … 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

Singapore’s Abercrombie & Fitch Store reminds me of a Night Club
I think it’s not officially open yet (I’m living under a rock cos it opened on Dec 15th), otherwise it would have been even more packed with teenagers. This is definitely a place for the young. What I can say … Continue reading

I Deleted Temple Run from my iPhone
Ever heard of Temple Run? It’s the most popular smartphone game out there. It was taking over my life. Instead of doing something productive like reading, I was obsessively trying to pick up golden coins and jump over obstacles. It … Continue reading

Butter Cake Batter
It’s amazing to think how butter, sugar, eggs and flour are transformed into a cake. My favourite part is the batter. Why does cake batter always taste so good. Our old Kenwood mixer was working fine and then it went … Continue reading
Exploring the Central Business District near Raffles Place MRT
I love the downtown area near Raffles Place MRT. It’s nice to walk around the area as I hardly get a chance to go there. I think it’s one of the best work locations although I don’t think many would … Continue reading

What’s New at Far East Plaza?
Haven’t been to Far East Plaza in months and I wanted to see whether there was anything new. No more Tom and Tom’s here (the Korean Coffee Chain). Instead, a stall selling Malay food. Mee Rebus, Mee Siam, Nasi Lemak, … Continue reading
