Road Trip: Malacca
Just some photos of what Malacca or Melaka town looks like. It’s quite a peaceful safe place and this is what I took as we drove around. You need a GPS though and even with that we kinda got a … Continue reading
My Third Visit to the Children Little Museum at Kampong Glam
It’s still interesting when you come with someone who hasn’t been here yet. Nice to witness their reaction and the childhood memories it brings back for them. It was worth paying for the S$2 ticket again to see the upstairs … Continue reading

Walking Around Kampong Glam
One of my favourite areas in Singapore and I would recommend a walkabout here to any new visitor to Singapore.
Thoughts about Blogging & the World Ending
I’m blogging like the world is going to end. But I don’t like the idea of things I’ve done in 2012 being reported in 2013. Just feels stale and I have quite a bit of backlog. I’m sure many of … Continue reading
Best Teh Tarik in Singapore
Back at Kampong Glam for my favourite glass of tea in Singapore. The cafe which has no name but regulars will know where it is. Just opposite the Kampong Glam Cafe near Kandahar Street.
Greenwich V Snowman
Made another visit to Greenwich V which charmed us with their Christmas decorations. Stopped at the Awfully Chocolate Cafe for a drink.
Rainbow Dumplings
Tried out the new Crystal Jade at Vivo some time ago but couldn’t get to blogging about it with all the openings of new cafes I was more excited to blog about first. The colours here were attractive but the … Continue reading
Costa Coffee at Vivo
Now that St Marc has opened I don’t think I’ll be returning to Costa (also new) unless St Marc is too packed. Prefer the offerings there. Although to be fair I had tea at Costa instead of trying the coffee. … Continue reading

Malacca Road Trip: Tengkera Putu Piring
I’ve had much better putu piring in Singapore (my uncle E lines up to buy them for us from Haig Road), but I was just charmed by the idea of a family working together from their humble abode. I just … Continue reading

Malacca Road Trip: Wan Tan Mee at Mei Sin Cafe
I quite enjoyed the Wan Tan Mee at an old style coffeeshop called Mei Sin Cafe with quite a number of vendors, although B found it too soggy. You can find these all over Malaysia, but in Singapore just a … Continue reading

Malacca Road Trip: Mahkota Parade
Somehow the older smaller mall was more impressive than the large one. But to be brutally honest, still can’t compare to malls in Singapore when it comes to selection. The same way malls in Singapore cannot come close to malls … Continue reading
Malacca Road Trip: A&W Meal at the Biggest Mall in Melaka
It’s called Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall and the most interesting thing I found there was the A&W. It sure was nice to have a root beer float. I really hope they make a comeback in Singapore. B enjoyed his coney … Continue reading

Malacca Road Trip: Roti Canai & Nasi Lemak Breakfast at Restoran Saravanna
One of our best meals in Malacca was also our last meal here. And it happened to be walking distance away from our hotel – The Majestic. It always seems to be the case for me that the best food … Continue reading

Malacca: Nonya Lunch at Makko
Maybe it was because I was famished, but this Nonya meal at the famous restaurant called Makko was so good and I ate too quickly. There was a special type of prawn crackers that you don’t get in Singapore. It … Continue reading

Road Trip to Malacca: The Drive There
Took 3.5 hours to get to Malacca from the Causeway. And how lovely not to have to fill in the white card anymore. I think it only applies for Singaporeans though? If people tell you it takes only 2 hours … Continue reading

Malacca Road Trip: The Drive Back
I don’t like being stuck in a car for too long, but Michael Buble and James Taylor on the radio were soothing. The space, the sky, the trees, the abundance of nature, even from a concrete highway, helped a whole … Continue reading

Johor Premium Outlets: Still Not Worth A Visit
B wanted to stop at The Premium Outlets in Johor on our way back from Malacca, as the Ralph Lauren store just opened for business. Didn’t think I would make a return visit after the last one. Everything was still … Continue reading

Hong Kong Guides by Bloggers (for My Cousin)
I promised my cousin that I would plan an itinerary for her, but there are so many great guides out on blogs that I thought I would collate them for her here. Choose mostly guides written by bloggers I read. … Continue reading
Christmas Owls at Liang Court
Liang Court always manages to delight me. Loving the Christmas owl decor. I’m quite biased as I tend to love everything Japanese. Think I’m not alone though. And of course, I always have to make a stop at my favourite … Continue reading

St Marc Cafe at Vivo
I’m impressed by St Marc, the new Japanese Bread and Dessert Cafe at Vivo. It’s known for it’s bread, especially the chocolate croissant known as choco cro, which I haven’t tried yet. Did a bit of googling. It’s a famous … Continue reading

It’s 12.12.12!
It’s 12.12.12. 12th of December 2012. Darn it. Should have posted this at 12.12 am. I almost missed the significance of this rare date and just let it go by. And I don’t think the world is coming to an … Continue reading
