I’m Pretty Crazy about Rambutans

Posted on May 20, 2012 by bookjunkie

Posted on March 26, 2012 by bookjunkie

Don’t think I will ever tire of seeing Singapore’s new icon from afar. Sorry Merlion. You’ve been bumped. I guess it’s appropriate, considering how much time Singaporeans spend in malls. But jokes aside this is one of the best ones, … Continue reading →

Tiong Bahru Hawker Centre

Posted on August 1, 2011 by bookjunkie

The design of the Tiong Bahru Food centre is pretty unique, but your car will get cooked at the rooftop parking lot if you linger for too long. Eat and dash. This time around I was not impressed by the … Continue reading →

Posted on April 25, 2011 by bookjunkie

I think Singapore is one of the few places in the world with colourful buildings. They add prettiness to our skyline. What’s best is, it doesn’t cost a cent to appreciate our old restored Architecture. One of the simple pleasures.

Posted on April 10, 2011 by bookjunkie

The sign definitely caught our attention.  Maybe the owner Irvin is really handsome? Anyone had a meal here? How was the food? The place got pretty good reviews and the salted egg crab seems to be a hit.
