Halloween Decorations at Tanglin Mall’s Supermarket
These are the coolest decorations I have seen by far. Especially the fake blood in the fake IV drip. I’m imagining the syrup within must be sickly sweet. Loads of creepy sweets. Another cool one was the body parts sushi … Continue reading

Macarons at NTUC Finest & The Icing Room

Greenbegger Supermarket
What an unusual name for this supermarket which is right smack in the middle of Geylang. Specifically 527 Geylang Road. I do like green bean soup. It’s a kind of pea actually. This is what they use to make it. … Continue reading

Grocery Shopping at Nex (NTUC and Cold Storage)

My favourite supermarket. The Christmas decorations are most tastefully done I must say. At some of the malls the decorations can be a tad gaudy and tacky, but the Japanese always get it right. Have you ever wondered why some … Continue reading
