Posted on March 3, 2015 by bookjunkie

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)

Posted on November 17, 2011 by bookjunkie

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)

Posted on July 21, 2011 by bookjunkie

Hot Chocolate at VivoCity

Posted on April 11, 2011 by bookjunkie

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?

Posted on February 25, 2011 by bookjunkie

When I am asked “Sparkling or Still?” at a fancy restaurant, I am almost too afraid to say tap. I think mineral water is an acquired taste, but I know people who prefer it to tap water. It made me … Continue reading →

Livita

Posted on October 22, 2010 by bookjunkie

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 →

Posted on July 25, 2010 by bookjunkie

The shopping at Tampines 1 doesn’t interest me, because I generally have no patience or interest in shopping in Singapore, but B likes the Japanese clothing store Uniqlo which had its first branch in Singapore here. I’d rather browse at … Continue reading →

Cheapest Espresso at MacDonald’s But Hardly Any Crema

Posted on July 8, 2010 by bookjunkie

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 →

#46. When You’re In the Mood for Kopi Rather Than Espresso

Posted on July 6, 2010 by bookjunkie

I love espresso, but on some days you just crave for our local coffee called kopi.   Kopi goes great with toasted bread with butter and jam.  Some days I prefer this local homely breakfast over pancakes, bacon and eggs. … Continue reading →
