Thai Banana Fritters (Kluay Kaek) at Golden Mile Complex
So glad I waited for these Thai street food snacks in a shopping complex. Super oily but oh so good. Very different from our Singapore goreng pisang. The banana is less sweet and the batter has sesame seeds in it. … Continue reading

Ok I think this will be my last post about the new attraction (unless I visit again), and this time about our lunch at Verandah. The tastefully decorated bistro serves Asian cuisine and is very near the entrance of Gardens. … Continue reading

Gardens by the Bay: The Flower Dome (Part 1)
You’ll be greeted by screens displaying pictures of flowers as you enter The Flower Dome. Guess things like this give the place more of a Theme Park than a garden feel. Upon first view we were impressed. Found the Dome … Continue reading

Gardens by the Bay: Cosy Nooks with Nice Views
Before we got the tickets for the Domes, we walked around and we were impressed by the cool benches. Those I admit were beautiful. Shaped like crocodiles or just slabs of wood. I was real happy to find that I … Continue reading

Gardens by the Bay: OCBC Skyway (Avoid if You’re Scared of Heights)
Don’t try this if you have a fear of heights. The suspended bridge can jiggle quite a bit and I worried about small children leaning over. This is mainly to have a view of the whole area. But eye sore … Continue reading

The Singapore Dream: A HDB Flat
What most Singaporeans aspire to purchase. But you usually end up tied to your job, unable to quit, even if it sucks big time. Even with a grant, you’ll be in debt for years and somehow you don’t really purchase … Continue reading
The National Library & Sleeping Folks
The new building is very impressive. But I still miss the tiny red brick building that used to the National Library I knew as a kid. It’s pretty conveniently located. Not attached to Bugis MRT (which would be lovely for … Continue reading
