It had been a while since we last swung by Dempsey, so the husband and I decided to make a morning of it. Burnt Ends Bakery had been on our radar for a bit, and brunch at Dempsey Hill felt like the perfect excuse. If you’re hunting for a quiet, low-key bakery spot away from the usual […]
This was honestly a bit of an accidental visit. Hubby kept asking what cake I wanted for my birthday, and after doing some research I decided I wanted macarons from a local macaron specialty shop — I’ll share more about that in a separate post. But even after I told him, hubby still wanted to […]
Back home in Singapore, our “City in Nature” vibe means greenery everywhere. Dublin does green differently — more historic, more lived-in, and honestly, more like the city’s actual living room. Whenever I travel, I hunt for the local parks first. It’s the fastest way to see how a city actually breathes. Dublin’s green spaces did […]
Hubby and I had just finished lunch at Bored Tacos and were on our way to Lexus Durian to grab some durians when I spotted Thiam Yian Confectionery. An old school bakery? I’m always going in — no question about it. I’ve always had a soft spot for bakeries like this. They bring back childhood memories. […]
If you are heading to Dublin, the Guinness Storehouse Experience is likely at the top of your list. I went in expecting a high-energy, immersive brand journey, but the reality is a bit more museum-vibe.

While we were in Dublin, I booked this day tour through GetYourGuide. If you haven’t used it before, think of it as the German equivalent of Klook — an online marketplace where you can book tours, excursions, and travel tickets. I was comparing options across a few platforms and the Dublin: Kilkenny, Wicklow & Glendalough Tour & […]
Brought my folks to Yue at Aloft for their zi char a la carte buffet recently, and it was quite a different experience from the usual buffets we frequent. First time trying a zi char buffet for all of us, actually. Best part? They’ve got this 1-for-1 promotion which makes it super worthwhile. The restaurant […]
Creating a dream bathroom is about more than just picking out pretty tiles. It involves careful thought about how you use the space every single day. A great design balances style with practical features. You can transform a simple washroom into a relaxing retreat by following a few clear steps. Planning allows you to avoid […]
While waiting to check in at Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre, we wandered over to Brannigans Bar for lunch. Just a 3-minute walk away. One of my top reasons for wanting to visit Dublin? Experiencing a traditional Irish pub for beer and hearty pub fare. Irish pubs hold a special place in my heart […]
