Architecture at VivoCIty
Really like the Japanese Architecture here more than the shopping itself. The shops are pretty much the same as what you can find at Orchard Road. Also, I would rather go here for the restaurants with the lovely view of … Continue reading
Orchard Road: View from the Top
Thoughts of 2011 Me: This was unfortunately a wordless post, but I am quite fond of this photo. I recall that it was taken from a friend’s office at Wisma Atria and from this angle I see that Orchard Road … Continue reading
VivoCity
It wasn’t as crowded as expected. Maybe because the Haze took a turn for the worse. The PSI hit the unhealthy level of 130 at 10am today. My throat feels hoarse breathing in the polluted air. Not all the shops … Continue reading
Omu Rice at Takashimaya
This was something different for me to try, and I found it quite nice actually. The stall was at the Takashimaya basement foodcourt. Omu Rice is a Japanese style tomato rice cooked with mushrooms and neatly covered in a fluffy … Continue reading

The Esplanade
Powder pink and mint green silk cloths billowing in the wind add to the theatrical atmosphere. Great view from inside the library. Unfortunately I could not capture this due to the no-photography sign posted outside. The library with the most … Continue reading
Droolworthy Nonya Curry at Hyde Park Cafe
My tastes buds confer that this is the best Nonya/Peranakan home-style curry you can get in Singapore. Rich and flavourful, it is just the right combination of lemak (richness of coconut), assam (sourish flavour), sweet and spicy. The several accolades … Continue reading

Dan Dan Mien in Beijing
I got to taste the authentic stuff at a little cafe near the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. So yummy and really spicy. Great to tuck into during the cool spring. Thoughts of 2011 Me: This was 5 years ago, … Continue reading

Deepavali is in the Air
Took a picture of the decorations from the car. Love this year’s peacock theme. Must come again closer to Deepavali to experience the festivities. Well, especially to check out, and of course consume, the “palahaaram” (indian sweetmeats) on sale. 5 … Continue reading
