Tempted at Muji
Love the clean designs of Japanese goods, and Muji’s food products are so pretty. Even simple things like marshmellows. But prices are not low (compared to Ikea), and it’s quite a splurge if you decide to get anything here.

Malacca Road Trip: Mahkota Parade
Somehow the older smaller mall was more impressive than the large one. But to be brutally honest, still can’t compare to malls in Singapore when it comes to selection. The same way malls in Singapore cannot come close to malls … Continue reading

B wanted to stop at The Premium Outlets in Johor on our way back from Malacca, as the Ralph Lauren store just opened for business. Didn’t think I would make a return visit after the last one. Everything was still … Continue reading

Other Stuff at Ikea Tampines that Caught My Eye
I was immediately attracted to this bowl. You see, I like things made of natural materials and I have a weakness for light woods. Even for flooring at home I prefer blonde woods to dark ones like teak. I usually … Continue reading

Daiso, the 2 Dollar Store
Would be even more enticing if it was the dollar store but I guess you can’t buy much with a dollar these days. Everyone loves a good bargain.

Our Hong Kong Trip Back in 2007: Day 3
