MRT Ride to Bedok on a Rainy Day
View from the overground train.
Bedok Mall is Open (my pick of the directory of shops & dining places)
Bedok Mall is open way earlier than expected. I like that it’s connected to the Bedok MRT but other than Wingstop (chicken wing chain from USA that hasn’t crossed my radar) nothing else seemed that exciting. For food I would … Continue reading

Penny University
Tried out Penny University at East Coast Road (very near the famous hokkien mee and prawn mee soup) and I am eager to return for the coffee. The booth seats are pretty comfy and surprisingly not squeezy (they were generous … Continue reading

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

Storm Clouds Gathered at East Coast Beach
A stormy day at East Coast Beach. The sky threatened, but we did not let it keep us away till fat droplets hit our faces. Warm rain is not strange to us here. And somehow. If you didn’t tell me … Continue reading

Provision Shops at Eunos Crescent
This is what our government calls the heartlands, but to me it’s just real, down to earth Singapore. I always wonder how the traditional provision shops compete with NTUC. It’s seems so unfair to these small family run businesses.

112 Katong Mall: Food, Yummy Spicy Noodles at Xiao La Jiao & CNY Decorations

Singapore Haze: Better Air Quality in the East
I was checking the PSI readings and those living in the Eastern part of Singapore can rejoice as you have better air quality. Perhaps it’s due to the sea breeze or the direction of the wind? I’m not sure. Those … Continue reading
