Singapore: Always Something New
Just a little post about how Singapore is in constant flux. Prompted by the discovery of The Med the other day. Although it’s probably been here for ages and I’m living under a rock as usual.
Gardens by the Bay: The Flower Dome (Part 2)
I sometimes tend to like a place better after I write about it, view the photos and take it all in. Blogging helps me appreciate all the little trips I take and food I eat a whole lot more. Also … Continue reading

Gardens by the Bay: The Flower Dome (Part 1)
You’ll be greeted by screens displaying pictures of flowers as you enter The Flower Dome. Guess things like this give the place more of a Theme Park than a garden feel. Upon first view we were impressed. Found the Dome … Continue reading

Gardens by the Bay: OCBC Skyway (Avoid if You’re Scared of Heights)
Don’t try this if you have a fear of heights. The suspended bridge can jiggle quite a bit and I worried about small children leaning over. This is mainly to have a view of the whole area. But eye sore … Continue reading

What I Thought About Gardens by the Bay
I had high expectations for the much lauded Gardens by the Bay, as it’s under the National Park Boards and they do such a wonderful job with the Botanic Gardens. It’s also currently the hottest place after Singapore’s first Dean … Continue reading

Finally Checked out Tiong Bahru Bakery
The sea salt caramel laced pastry I had was interesting, but the bakery was just too packed for comfort when I was there. The same issue of seats being spaced too closely together and I’m someone who likes a bit … Continue reading

A Bit of a Tight Squeeze at Dean & Deluca Cafe
The good news is that the cafe at recently opened Dean & Deluca offers free ice water. It’s self service. Just look out for the pitchers at the counter. I only realized this later and if I had known I … Continue reading

Open Door Policy at 19 Yong Siak Street
When I first heard the name Open Door Policy my first thought was – it was too hot for Al Fresco. But no, it was refreshingly cool when we entered the restaurant and no doors left open, thank goodness. There … Continue reading

Jalan Riang is becoming quite the hip place for eateries. It’s just a stretch of shophouses at a residential district near Serangoon, specifically in Braddell Heights. The lastest addition which is already proving to be super popular (we almost could … Continue reading

JCube: Ice Skating Rink, Taiwanese Restaurant & Japanese Furniture Store
An update since I just posted the Franc Franc photos and took pretty long to upload the rest. Here goes. I think people who have vertigo will not be too comfortable sitting at the ice skating rink stands. The seats … Continue reading

Itacho Sushi x Jika Udon at JCube
Had lunch at Itacho. It’s a bit confusing as it seems to be two brands in one? The restaurant at JCube seems to be the only branch that has this dual concept. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. … Continue reading

Singapore’s Abercrombie & Fitch Store reminds me of a Night Club
I think it’s not officially open yet (I’m living under a rock cos it opened on Dec 15th), otherwise it would have been even more packed with teenagers. This is definitely a place for the young. What I can say … Continue reading
