Rich & Good Cake Shop (24 Kandahar Street)
The famously light and fluffy swiss rolls at the Rich & Good Cake shop come in many flavours. We picked Orange, Mango and Strawberry – which was the one I liked best. The Swiss Roll is really long and you … Continue reading

Walking from Bussorah to Kandahar Street
As we walked on, this perfume store appeared at Bussorah Street – Jamal Kazura. The store that sells perfume made without alcohol. You can make your own fragrance too. Resisted the Turkish, Mediterranean place because Nasi Padang was calling. We … Continue reading

Getting My Bearings at Bussorah Street
From Fika we walked on and passed Bussorah Street. This is how i get my bearings – recalling the shops or interesting things that catch my eye along the way. There’s a sign here pointing towards the Malay Heritage Centre.

Another Stroll Down Haji Lane
Crossing over to walk to Haji Lane. This makes me wonder if there is a short cut to Haji Lane by another way. Oh well, think I’ll leave that for another day. Currently one of the must sees for tourists, … Continue reading

Getting to Arab Street by MRT
Decided to do a directional guide with photos, because I have absolutely no sense of direction, but luckily a good memory for visuals. I can’t read a map and think in pictures. So if you do too, I hope this … Continue reading

The last time I was here, TWG was just under construction. It’s now up, looking so pretty and luxurious. What a nice location too – right on top the canal. Tried TWG just once at ION, and I loved the … Continue reading

Relaxing with Tea, at Java Detour (The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands)
When you buy tea from a cafe it’s always nice to have real tea leaves, even if it comes in a bag. Most of the time I pay the same and get tea bags filled with lower quality tea dust … Continue reading

Chewing Gum Man, the 10 Digit Hand & Other Art (Marina Bay Sands)
Cool art installation. I wonder what statement is being made here. More weird art that makes you stop and take a second look. The single hand with 10 digits. It’s ugly to me, but striking indeed. I was attracted by … Continue reading

As near as I will get to the Casino (Marina Bay Sands)
Even if there was no entrance fee for Singaporeans of S$100, I don’t think I would rush to come here. I don’t really get the thrill of gambling, but I do like the surrounding attractions and just the hugeness of … Continue reading

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Window Shopping

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands: Yu Cuisine
Another new eatery. This time Cantonese. A fancy Tim Sum and Seafood place with a groovy silver and purple decor. It looked more like a modern furniture or lighting store than a restaurant. Here’s a foodie review of the place … Continue reading

Rasapura: Food Court around the Skating Rink at Marina Bay Sands

So pretty. But a nice card with an attractive picture and a meaningful verse within, which used to cost about S$3 now costs at least about S$6.
