Posted on August 28, 2022 by bookjunkie

I know that this Japanese chain store is a nightmare for the environment in terms of packaging, but it sure is colourful and enticing. Eye Candy to brighten up the grocery shopping experience.

Another Day, Another Chicken Burger

Posted on March 27, 2022 by bookjunkie

Sad that this won’t be permanently on the menu. Doesn’t it look so enticing? Had this at a very tiny outlet at 18 Tai Seng, manned by just one girl. Don’t know how she manages, but she does a good … Continue reading →

My Favourite Japanese Stores in Singapore #5 : Muji

Posted on March 26, 2022 by bookjunkie

My storage solutions are usually from Daiso or IKEA but it’s nice to have another option. Previously the stuff here was just too expensive so I’m glad they have come to their senses. Competition from Daiso must have nudged them … Continue reading →

Muratama After a Long Time

Posted on March 26, 2022 by bookjunkie

I requested for the chicken balls instead of the pork. Not much taste but good with the chilli. The broth made you feel very full. B remarked that’s it’s probably full of collagen. That’s great because I’ve been hearing so … Continue reading →

New Snack: Strawberry Chocolate Coated Strawberry from Muji

Posted on March 25, 2022 by bookjunkie

This looked very enticing and it tasted refreshing. I do love the freeze dried strawberry within, making this a healthier snack, am I right?

A picture heavy post. This store is so enticing and attractive, although it’s more on the expensive side compared to Daiso of course. The fruit is like eye candy and the fresh scent of apples today. Just wow. Feast for … Continue reading →

My Fave Japanese Stores in Singapore: #2. MOS Burger

Posted on March 14, 2022 by bookjunkie

Recently it seems to have revamped its offerings and the burgers seem to be fresher. I somehow don’t feel so bloated after eating here compared to say McDonald’s. Perhaps there’s less salt used? Their ice lemon tea is my favourite … Continue reading →

Eye-Candy: The Fruit & Products at Meidi-ya Supermarket

Posted on February 22, 2015 by bookjunkie

I find the supermarket produce at Meidi-ya at Liang Court just the best looking supermarket products you can find in Singapore. I have never bought any of the fruit as it’s way out of our budget. Nice to look at … Continue reading →

The Goat Year & Hinamatsuri at Liang Court

Posted on February 22, 2015 by bookjunkie

I think my favourite place where I experience the Goat Year festivities is Liang Court.  I just think they do things so well and I guess I am a Japanophile? Hinamatsuri is Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day and is celebrated each … Continue reading →

NTUC Shopping: Calpis Icebar

Posted on May 17, 2013 by bookjunkie

I love Calpis soda (it’s a bit like a yoghurt fizzy drink and wanted to try this but I was too far away from home and the ice cream would have melted by then).

Finally Tried the Udon at Tamoya

Posted on March 31, 2013 by bookjunkie

Finally tried out the new udon place at Liang Court. It’s at level 1 but located in an obscure corner next to the Food Court. Missed it on another occasion and had Shakey’s Pizza instead. Prices are reasonable but it’s … Continue reading →

Posted on January 12, 2013 by bookjunkie
