Gamification Makes Duolingo the most enticing way to learn a language
I was trying not to waste my time on repetitive games that are addictive, but teach me nothing much, like Temple Run for instance. I am also not fond of scrabble type word games where all kinds of weird words, … Continue reading

Angelina at Marina Bay Sands: Another Too Expensive Place
Staff were struggling here. We didn’t order the tiny cakes that cost at least $17 before tax and opted for a large basket of piping hot French fries instead. Pretty good but you could get much more for $13.50 at … Continue reading

Artisan Boulangerie Co. (ABC) at Katong 112
Somehow prefer the branch at Vivocity, the pastries seemed fresher there and it was not as crowded. The coffee looks good but I find it a tad bitter. They do baguette sandwiches best of all and you can’t go wrong … Continue reading

Baguette at Vivo’s new French Cafe
I made a return visit to the French Bakery Cafe abc at Vivocity. I am hooked on their hard crusty ham and cheese sandwiches. The ham is flavourful and they use emmental cheese which has a savoury taste. It’s great … Continue reading
New French Cafe At VivoCity: abc
I’m loving the bread & pastries at the new French cafe at Vivo. It replaces the Vietnamese sandwich place I believe and is located near Jamie Oliver’s. I wish there was more seating though as I definitely want to come … Continue reading
Crepe at Paul (Tanglin mall)
Wouldn’t mind having crepe at Paul again. Had the turkey ham and cheese crepe. The hard bread that they provided for free was very good too although it would have been better of it had been warmed up. Glad there’s … Continue reading
New at Novena Square: Sophie, French Bakery
I like the name Sophie and the concept looks interesting, but I tend to prefer sit down cafes. I wonder if their other outlets have more room for tables but from this blogger’s post about the Wisma outlet, it doesn’t … Continue reading

Haven’t Tried Laduree Yet as the Queue was Closed (& A Tea Salon Might Come After All)
We were dismayed that there was no dining in concept, just take away. That totally zaps the fun out of it. (5 May: just learnt that Laduree will open a tea room perhaps in a year or two but I … Continue reading

If I Crave for Mushroom Soup I’ll Head to Poulet
Although I should be steering myself towards clear soups, I have to admit the mushroom soup at Poulet was really satisfying. It surprised me.

A Day at 100AM Mall: Dragons, Lions, Hong Kong Style Pastries
My second time at 100AM mall. As you can see, I was pretty enthralled by the Imperial Dragon Bakery Cafe logo. It reminds me of the traditional depiction you see in Chinese paper cuttings. I know it’s excessive – more … Continue reading

Lovely French Crepes & Creme Brulee at Paul
Was at Paul at Ngee Ann City (I refer to it as Taka even though Taka is just the department store section) again. The crepe reminded me of what we had in Paris. Sinful but so good. More pancake like … Continue reading

Plaza Singapura: French Style Crepes at Canele
The pretty name tempted me – Flowers of the Sea. Keep telling myself not to overindulge and then I do it again. French style thin crepes are so hard to resist. This came with chocolate ice cream and nutella. A … Continue reading

Paul: Improved Service
The service at Paul (Ngee Ann City) has improved tremendously. There’s a lady there who reminds me of my secondary school English teacher. She is so polite and attentive and I think they should totally reward her for being such … Continue reading

Poulet at Bugis Plus: Lovely Roast Chicken, but Service Staff Need Training

Hediard: Another Favourite Spot of Mine
Some things you can’t quite explain, but I like the vibe at Hediard in spite of the prices. Just my second time here but I’m charmed by the place hidden in a quaint little Tudor style building. I know the … Continue reading
Too Early for New Year Resolutions?
I went ahead anyway since as we all know, time is arbitrary. I am now thinking it will help if I just focus on one thing a month. Somehow when you don’t focus your efforts get diluted. You can read … Continue reading

Surprised to See Tiong Bahru Bakery at Raffles City
It was a real pleasant surprise to see a second more accessible branch of the Tiong Bahru Bakery. The Raffles City mall is connected to City Hall MRT. But the place was so terribly crowded. Even worse than the branch … Continue reading
