From the Car Window: Landmarks, Temples and a Church
Behind the temple you can see the most famous HDB flat – The Pinnacle at Duxton. The Pinnacle towers over everything. The MICA (Ministry of Information, Communication & The Arts) Building. Love the multicoloured lego-like windows. A clearer shot of … Continue reading
Peranakan Museum: Gold and A Wedding
The people behind the museum have done a great job. I absolutely love the muted pastel shades. I feel a sense of calm walking through this place. It’s much more fulfilling to spend time here than at another mall. I … Continue reading
Peranakan Museum: Dining
I was excited about the food section in the Peranakan Museum as I love Peranakan food. You are first introduced to the dining area which is very elaborately set-up for a feast. Look at all those matching pink dishes. You … Continue reading
Nasi Padang at Warong M Nasir
After reading the review at Wend Right I just had to try the Nasi Padang here. I immediately loved the decor. In terms of taste it still can’t beat Minang, but this is my favourite if I take everything into … Continue reading

The Peranakan Museum: the beautiful external facade
Visiting the Peranakan Museum was not a planned thing. We just happened to go by and I persuaded B to stop and see if it was open. To my delight it was and tickets cost just S$6 each. Good to … Continue reading

Grandma’s at Nex (Serangoon Mall)
When we feel like eating local food in a restaurant setting, we always chose Grandma’s. It’s a pretty safe bet. Although all that coconut can make you feel very full. The Curry Chicken and Sago with Gula Melaka are darn … Continue reading
Exploring Kandahar Street
This post is from the walking and photo taking as we walked along Kandahar Street, after we had a yummy Nasi Padang lunch at Minang. Loved that this yellow car was parked across this yellow building in Kampong Glam. … Continue reading

Malay Heritage Centre
As we continued exploring the Muslim quarter in Singapore, Kampong Gelam, we took a while to walk through the pretty ground of the Malay Heritage Centre at 85 Sultan Gate. I have been here before, but the great thing about … Continue reading

Singapore Food Trail at the Singapore Flyer Part 2 of 2
I took just so many photos that I had to split this post up. Adored the local drinks in glass bottles. I remember the bottles being huge in the old days, or was it because my hand were little. I … Continue reading

Pasta Fresca at Bukit Timah
We tend to return to the original Pasta Fresca at sleepy old Bukit Timah, whenever B hankers for the freshly made pasta here. This place was started way back in 1988 by a very friendly chef, Carecci Salvatore. I remember … Continue reading

Papa Palheta
Be prepared that Papa Palheta is not really a cafe. You might feel a little out of place if you think that it is. It’s a totally different concept from what you would be used to. It’s pretty artsy and … Continue reading

Loysel’s Toy and the Surrounding Green Space
Checked out Loysel’s Toy since the place looked so inviting on this blog, this blog and this blog. But sadly when we got there, it was so crowded with no room for even standing. It was a tight squeeze as … Continue reading

Fika at Arab Street: A Swedish Halal Cafe
Arab street had won my heart over. It’s about the loveliest place in Singapore. I had the yummiest pancakes (tasted like half pancakes and half crepe) at this very unique Swedish Halal Cafe at the fringe of Arab Street called … Continue reading

Weekend at West Coast Plaza
It’s ironical that I blog about malls, as I’m quite anti-mall and loathe clothes shopping in Singapore. Shopping for books though is a different matter and one I thoroughly enjoy. Blogging about malls makes the experience different though. I feel … Continue reading

Burger Shack: BBQ Pulled Pork Burger
Pulled Pork Burger is the combination of two of my favourites – baby back ribs and burgers. I do love the one sold at Burger Shack which is in the west of Singapore in the Bukit Timah area. The shoe-string … Continue reading

New at Bishan Junction 8: Toast Box
Had a cup of hot Horlicks at ToastBox and it was good. Haven’t had this very Singaporean malted drink in a long time. This is under the BreadTalk group, just like Ramenplay and the Icing Room. But Toastbox and Ramenplay … Continue reading

P.S. Cafe at Ash Park – No Children Allowed
I hope no one throws bricks at me, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if no teens were allowed either and then it would be a truly adult place. I would love a place for old fogies like myself, but I … Continue reading

Bakerzin at My Village
The service at Bakerzin was impeccable. The female manager was very warm and welcoming. It’s always nice to see professionalism and pride in service. It was what stood out and made me want to return. Besides that, the food was … Continue reading

The Loveliest Idea I’ve Seen in a Long While
Take a peek at what blogger and former graphic designer, Radostina, at 79 Ideas has created. I marvel at her sense of colour and asthetics. I just wish I could be even a fraction as creative or discerning. Just glancing … Continue reading
