Octapas at Clarke Quay
An interesting, but expensive tapas place at Clarke Quay (S$100 at least for a couple). Since I aim to be honest – service was slow, plates were only cleared after prompting, and the lighting was too dim for conversation. I … Continue reading

Children Little Museum at Bussorah Street
Even though this was my second time to the shophouse, which has been converted to a nostalgia museum, it felt new somehow. It was extra fun perhaps because my cousin was with it and it was cool to see her … Continue reading

Why I Love Haji Lane
Haji Lane is a place you’ll fall for. It’s a haven where you won’t get shoved in a crowd, pushy sales people hovering over you, and mind numbing chain stores. It’s like a splash of colour in a country people … Continue reading

Fort Canning Park (3 of 3)
It was a total surprise to see art among the lushness. You see I haven’t been here for perhaps more than a year. It could be longer. The killer humidity is the only thing that keeps us away.

Bussorah Street to Bugis MRT
Just a pictorial walking guide of how we made our way back to Bugis MRT. The Sultan Mosque. So much colour and fabric, along the way. Marvellous rugs. Mannequins draped in jewel tones. Sufi’s Corner, but no hookah smokers on … Continue reading
Find Your Childhood at Children Little Museum (Part 4 of 5)
There were recreations of scenes, like the drink stall, the barber shop and mobile theatre. For me they didn’t look familiar but the drinks brought back memories, especially the magnolia milk in a bottle. Made me long for a magnolia … Continue reading

Find your Childhood at Children Little Museum (Part 3 of 5)
A classic doll from the 60’s and 70’s. When I was small I was fascinated by dollies especially those which has eyes that could open and shut and the baby ones that could ‘drink milk’ from a bottle. These days … Continue reading

Walking from Bussorah to Kandahar Street
As we walked on, this perfume store appeared at Bussorah Street – Jamal Kazura. The store that sells perfume made without alcohol. You can make your own fragrance too. Resisted the Turkish, Mediterranean place because Nasi Padang was calling. We … Continue reading

Getting My Bearings at Bussorah Street
From Fika we walked on and passed Bussorah Street. This is how i get my bearings – recalling the shops or interesting things that catch my eye along the way. There’s a sign here pointing towards the Malay Heritage Centre.

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

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

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

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

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Yu Cuisine
Another new eatery. This time Cantonese. A fancy Tim Sum and Seafood place with a groovy silver and purple decor. It looked more like a modern furniture or lighting store than a restaurant. Here’s a foodie review of the place … 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

Orchard Central: What I Liked and One Thing I Didn’t
I quite like Orchard Central because there are new interesting things sold here. I also like the open design and the fact that there’s a Tully’s and now Genki Sushi here. This place really seems to be all about the … Continue reading

Vertigo Caused by Tallest ‘Shopping Lady’ at Orchard Central
Trying to take a picture of this tall statue is definitely not for those with vertigo. It goes up about 6 stories. As you can see her red boots alone can dwarf you. Another unique feature at this mall, was … Continue reading

For Architectural Eye Candy, Head to Ann Siang Hill
