Two Little Coffeeshops in JB
What I love best about coming to JB (Malaysia is just minutes away) is the meal at the coffee shop that not only tastes fantastic, but is half the price of a similar meal in Singapore. The place also feels … Continue reading

Greenwich V: Spiced Chocolate & Tea at Cedele
Nice view and the main reason why I like the restaurants at Greenwich V. The worst Cedele is the super cramped one at Raffles City Shopping Centre. I like plump chairs with generous cushioning. Well, sofas would be best and … Continue reading

Gobsmacked by the Moon Tonight
We were all excited when we saw the moon tonight. I have never seen it looking this huge. Reminded me of the movie Melancholia where a rogue planet collides with Earth and as it approaches it gets bigger and bigger. … Continue reading

Crazy Crowds at the New JCube Mall at Jurong East MRT (& My Directory Picks)
I feel embarrassed to say that I was one among the crowd at JCube. I really wanted to turn away from the madness. If you drive you can’t get a lot here and have to also wait for one at … Continue reading

Ikea: You Don’t have to Travel to Sweden for Swedish Treats
Good to see that Ikea is bringing back authentic Swedish brands again. At one point they decided to do everything in-house and there were a lot of appeals from the Swedish community that they preferred the candies and treats they … Continue reading
I Talk About Easter
Just a note. Hope you’ll read my 5th post on White as Milk. I didn’t know anything about the origin of the Easter Bunny or Eggs when I was a child in Singapore.

Parco Millenia: So Many Authentic Japanese Restaurants
I pretty much love Parco Millenia for all the authentic Japanese food options. There’s this Go Go Curry Place I haven’t tried yet. The Ramen shop with the cutest design that I’ve had a few times. There’s always a queue … Continue reading

Takashimaya: Pique Nique (Generously Sized Waffles)
I have passed by Pique Nique a number of times but never tried it before. Well I finally did. Sauntered towards this little cafe on a whim as everywhere else was too crowded. I didn’t find the seating too comfortable, … Continue reading

Buono: Italian Restaurant where I had the Best Salad Ever
Buono has a real Italian owner. I assume he was the owner because he entered the restaurant and greeted everyone warmly. I figured he must be Salvatore Buono. The restaurant’s decor is unique with playing cards stuck to the ceiling. … Continue reading

Coffee at Wisma and blogging with an iPad
