Art at ION

The horse looked really spooky and I believe that was the effect the sculptor was going for. I like how they change up the art at ION now and then. And Saveur – french restaurant I’ve heard a lot about … Continue reading

CNY2015: Lion Dancers at ION

I couldn’t take the ear drum busting decibel levels so I didn’t get close enough for a good photo. But to hear the lion dance drums and cymbals in a mall sure is exciting. And what a captivating view from … Continue reading

My Village: Duke Bakery

Duke Bakery has opened a branch at My Village. The breads here are tasty but expensive. Not as good as Maison Kayser in terms of moist chewiness but better than most other similar type bread shops.

CNY2015: Parkway Parade

Interesting window displays and a creative take on the word for goat (which really looks like a goat as Chinese is a pictographic language). The promotional poster at Parkway Parade looked interesting too.

It’s the year of the goat sheep or ram, but it seems like most stores prefer the cute cuddly sheep. I thought the decorations at Star Vista were rather unique and charming. Toy soldiers at Christmas have been changed into … Continue reading

Paradise Dynasty at Vivo City: Spicy Handmade Noodles

After their alleged not paying for gas scandal in the newspapers I was hoping this chain wouldn’t close. They do serve good food even though as many have pointed out, service is lacking. For us it was polite but they … Continue reading

Star Vista: Coffee at Jamaica Blue

Dining at Star Vista: Itacho Sushi

This place gets popular after office hours. But I found it a bit too claustrophobic being shoved between to other couples. Too close quarters to chat comfortably, even with lowered voices. This is my woe about the Singapore dining scene … Continue reading

Katong V: New Hotel Mall

Katong V is a quiet small mall connected to a hotel. My kind of mall. A nice place to have tea or coffee perhaps, but I didn’t this time. Just bought a fresh baguette at the bakery called East Manhattan. … Continue reading
