Wimbly Lu at Jalan Riang – Gem of a Cafe decorated for Halloween
Wimbly Lu. Sounds like a character from a Roald Dahl book, but it’s actually a combination of the owners’ names. Yet another gem of a place, recently discovered, all because of my favourite 2 dollar local magazine, 8 Days. It’s … Continue reading

Wendy’s Frosty at Nex
I have always wanted to try a Frosty at Wendy’s. In the mind I always thought a Frosty was a float, but it’s just soft ice cream. I finally tried it at the Wendy’s at Nex, but my conclusion is, … Continue reading

Nex Serangoon: Polar Bear & Freshness Burger
(Update 25 June 2011: recently I saw the whole place boarded up – hope Freshness Burger is not closed permanently. Might be due to the steep pricing) Love imaginative ads. This one of the Polar Bear ‘breaking through’ at Serangoon … Continue reading

Grandma’s at Nex (Serangoon Mall)
When we feel like eating local food in a restaurant setting, we always chose Grandma’s. It’s a pretty safe bet. Although all that coconut can make you feel very full. The Curry Chicken and Sago with Gula Melaka are darn … Continue reading
This Makes Me So Embarrassed: Library Stampede
This happened today and makes me ashamed to be a Singaporean (just assuming they were all local) and associated with this type of kiasu behaviour. You would think Singaporeans have never seen books before. But sometimes, how can you blame … Continue reading

Ichiban Boshi at Nex
I was hankering for the simple kitsune udon I had at Osaka, and Ichiban Boshi has a good enough version that comes in a smaller half bowl portion (S$4.90). It’s not the healthy kind of sushi but I do love … Continue reading

Grocery Shopping at Nex (NTUC and Cold Storage)
There are two competing supermarkets at the new Nex mall located next to Serangoon MRT. Competition is always good in my book if it means better prices and offerings for the customer. NTUC is a subsidized supermarket with the lowest … Continue reading
