Will be back with more posts but meanwhile I wrote this at White as Milk.
Still the Best Assam Laksa in Singapore
The parking situation is horrendous with everyone watching out for traffic cops, but the assam laksa in Geylang is really the best in Singapore. Have made repeated visits but this was our first lunch time visit. I wasn’t even hungry … Continue reading

Sembawang: Green & Soothing
The walk to Sembawang MRT can be pleasant just after the rain. There is a stretch of road that reminds me of our Botanic Gardens. And this is the part of the red line that is above ground. No air-conditioning … Continue reading
Birthday Cakes: The More Candles the Merrier
I may repeat this a lot but I have very caring aunts and uncles who keep me sane. They do so much for us, are really supportive and I wish everyone could have close knit families like this. Even if … Continue reading

Oblivion: Bored Out of My Mind
Tom Cruise has always been drawing point when it comes to movie selection, but lately I think he has made the wrong choices when it comes to roles. He seems to keep playing the same character but in different settings. … Continue reading

Trivial
With current world events, and so much tragedy and cruelty (Boston Marathon bombing, rape in India, earthquakes) in the forefront, I often feel that we are in a unreal materialistic sheltered bubble in Singapore. What I write about seems so … Continue reading

3 New Places in Singapore
Just decided to share a short list of 3 new places I’ve visited recently.
In the East of Singapore
Lovely canopy of trees and it was pretty relaxing even though it was the weekend. I guess we got lucky with the timing as people were leaving as we arrived at the Starbucks at Big Splash. (Wrote the post some … Continue reading

Cafe Melba
Had a lovely meal at Cafe Melba and I’ll be happy to return. It’s an Australian inspired cafe located in the East at Goodman Arts Centre and it’s a bit difficult to find so you’ll need your GPS or smartphone map. … Continue reading

Hainanese Curry Rice at Maxwell Road Hawker Centre
As it’s so crowded here we decided to have packed rice and then look for a table. In a way it made the food tastier. Somehow the curry infused with the rice. It might look like a mess to some … Continue reading

Costa at Vivo
Had a coffee break at Costa. The coffee isn’t great, but I like the decor here. Also St Marc’s was too crowded and I would have been majorly tempted by the parfaits.

#13. Fried Fish Soup
Not as healthy as sliced fish soup, but my favourite relatively healthy, low carb, hawker meal of all time. Fried fish soup with milk added to the broth, from Airport Road hawker centre. I love the silky tofu and the … Continue reading

Yummy Prata Curry at Ang Mo Kio
Feeling guilty for overindulging, but the curry they serve at the prata stall (R R Indian Food) at Lim Kopi Food Court (Block 107, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4) is so good. Not watery and disappointing like I’ve had at … Continue reading

#12. Sliced Fish Soup at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre
This is definitely one healthy Singapore hawker meal that I find delicious, but it has to be from Old Airport Road. I have to confess I prefer the fried fish meat version which is just a little bit unhealthier but … Continue reading

Birthday Cake Memories
Wrote about my birthday cake memories. Remember when you were a child and the big reveal – when the cake box was opened for the first time and everyone marvelled? There was something magical about that. And who doesn’t like cake … Continue reading

Illuminating Near Death Experience
I am so thankful that my aunt shared this video with me. It just spoke to me as I am constantly living in fear and worry. While watching this, that feeling abated for a while. I really need to explore … Continue reading

Revamped ION Basement Food Hall
If you’re looking for single slice pizzas you can get it here. It was not that fantastic but I guess it could satisfy a craving like it did for B. Wrote about it including what I did this week. Personally … Continue reading

My First Time at the SEA Aquarium (Sentosa)
There are some unusual sea creatures I saw here that I’ve never seen before and for that I guess it was worth the huge ticket price of S$29. The tanks here are pretty massive and more impressive than the previous … Continue reading

My First Time at the Maritime Experiential Museum
I don’t know if it’s truly worth the ticket price, but it is worth while to see it at least once. The ticket covers both the Maritime Experiential Museum as well as the SEA Aquarium. The ticket will allow you … Continue reading

How to Get to the Aquarium at Sentosa
It’s called the S.E.A. Aquarium and you can take the train called the Sentosa Express (using your MRT card) from the Sentosa Station at VivoCity (it’s just next to Food Republic). It deducts S$3.50 from your card and you need … Continue reading
