Fika – Swedish Halal Restaurant
Trying to upload my Kampong Glam photos in chronological order so that I have a better idea of the layout the next time I’m there. After Haji Lane, we came across Fika the Swedish Halal restaurant with the pretty decor. … Continue reading
Another Stroll Down Haji Lane
Crossing over to walk to Haji Lane. This makes me wonder if there is a short cut to Haji Lane by another way. Oh well, think I’ll leave that for another day. Currently one of the must sees for tourists, … Continue reading

Getting to Arab Street by MRT
Decided to do a directional guide with photos, because I have absolutely no sense of direction, but luckily a good memory for visuals. I can’t read a map and think in pictures. So if you do too, I hope this … Continue reading

Chomp Chomp: Hokkien Mee & Carrot Cake
Most people like the thick style of Hokkien Mee that’s sold at Geylang, where lard is used and all the juices are soaked up and you eat it with sambal. I much prefer the light slightly watery version sold at … Continue reading

Relaxing with Tea, at Java Detour (The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands)
When you buy tea from a cafe it’s always nice to have real tea leaves, even if it comes in a bag. Most of the time I pay the same and get tea bags filled with lower quality tea dust … Continue reading

Thinking about Arab Street
My heart definitely belongs to charming Arab Street. What I mean is the whole of Kampong Glam, including Haji Lanes and all the lovely little shops and cafes. It’s one place that I can’t wait to return to. I especially … Continue reading

Chewing Gum Man, the 10 Digit Hand & Other Art (Marina Bay Sands)
Cool art installation. I wonder what statement is being made here. More weird art that makes you stop and take a second look. The single hand with 10 digits. It’s ugly to me, but striking indeed. I was attracted by … Continue reading

As near as I will get to the Casino (Marina Bay Sands)
Even if there was no entrance fee for Singaporeans of S$100, I don’t think I would rush to come here. I don’t really get the thrill of gambling, but I do like the surrounding attractions and just the hugeness of … Continue reading

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Window Shopping
Even though I have empty pockets, it’s still nice to walk around The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. For one, it has huge spacious walkways that remind me of the malls in the US. And it is quite relaxing as … Continue reading

Rasapura: Food Court around the Skating Rink at Marina Bay Sands
It’s nice to sit by the huge skating rink (artificial because otherwise it would be freezing). There were many kids skating and some even cried that they were bored, but their parents implored them to carry on since they already … Continue reading

Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Where you can take a sampan ride and experience gushing water inside a mall
Don’t think I’ll ever ride the sampan. Just seems to contrived and unreal, when I could take a nice bumboat ride out to one of the little islands from Changi instead. But I think kids would enjoy this and I’d … Continue reading

The Yellow Building and my thoughts about Colour and Shades
Everytime I pass by the Chicago Business School, I always see someone sweeping the leaves away. This must be a really well maintained building. Such a lovely shade of yellow too. I am starting to think I don’t really have … Continue reading

Prettiest Italian Restaurant in Singapore: Cugini at Club Street
This was one of the prettiest restaurants I’ve dined at. The turqoise on white combination was perfect. The decor transported me to some European holiday isle. The food’s not bad either. The grilled chicken pizza. I am sure this was … Continue reading
