Blueberry White Tea
A new blueberry white tea drink ($3.70 – 140 calories) at Cedele (City Square Mall) that’s not too sweet and just a hint of blueberry flavour, but I prefer to go with Perrier ($3 – zero calories) and completely cut … Continue reading

Lemon Tart & Matcha Latte at Tea Dot (Nex)
Not the best lemon tart I guess, but I think it’s pretty good. Anyone know where I can get the best lemon tarts? I prefer these to chocolate sometimes. I like my desserts sour sweet.

Java Detour (The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands)

Milky Ginger Tea at Kampong Glam
We walked a little way down past Kandahar street to a tiny coffee shop. Here hot tea is traditionally tossed high into the air by a sweet, elderly Indian Muslim man. The resulting teh tarik was perfection. I even felt … Continue reading

Matcha Latte (Tully’s at Orchard Central)
The latest drink I see on the menu these days is Matcha Latte. I must be high in antioxidants as it’s concentrated green tea powder. B loves it and I think it looks pretty although I tend to go for … Continue reading

Plaza Singapura: The Society Cafe
Didn’t want to stop here as it looked completely empty and I wondered if the coffee was any good. In the end I am glad I stopped to try it. The coffee was so much better than Starbucks and was … Continue reading

Hot Chocolate at VivoCity
I should have ordered the dark chocolate instead of the milk one at Max Brenner. It was just way too sweet for me. If I was daring I would have ordered the one with chilli and spices in it. I … Continue reading

Sparkling or Still: Is Water the New Wine?

Lovely Ideas on Mocha
Love how this eco friendly blue porcelain cup looks like a paper cup. So pretty. I absolutely adore this cute red memo holder as well. And a bookrest lamp so the spine of your book is preserved when you don’t … Continue reading
Livita
If you’ve never had a bottle of Livita before, maybe you should not try it. It’s pretty addictive. I think it’s either you like it or you don’t. I for one don’t like Red Bull, but I am addicted to … Continue reading

I don’t drink, but I so like frozen lime margaritas and white sangria. I have also enjoyed a glass of champagne on special occasions like New Year’s eve and special birthdays. They go so well with strawberries. The pink window … Continue reading

A&W Root Beer – The Best Root Beer Ever

Cheapest Espresso at MacDonald’s But Hardly Any Crema
MacDonald’s has one of the cheapest espressos at only $2.25 Singapore dollars. It’s cheap as they also provide you with a large amount of steamed milk if you request for it. I prefer my espressos stronger and with a thick … Continue reading
