We were staying at PARKROYAL on Beach Road and decided to walk over to Golden Mile Food Centre after breakfast. The original plan was to pick up pastries from Cat In The Hat for tea later — but you know how it goes at a hawker centre. You start walking around, something catches your eye, […]
During our staycation at PARKROYAL on Beach Road, we decided to take a short walk to Golden Mile Food Centre. I had been eyeing Cat In The Hat for a while — a hawker-centre bakery and patisserie run by a former hotel pastry chef. Finally had the chance to try it since we were in […]
Three stays at the same Singapore hotel within two years. My husband suggested I call this post “PARKROYAL on Beach Road – Why I Came Back For The Third Time” and honestly, he is not wrong. Most hotels get one shot, maybe two. PARKROYAL on Beach Road has somehow earned a third, and after this […]
I was on RedNote one day and stumbled across the most adorable Sanrio character macarons. Immediately told my husband: I want these for my birthday this year instead of the usual cake. Did a quick Google search for “Sanrio macarons in Singapore” and that’s how I found Sugarsmith — Singapore’s first officially licensed Sanrio macaron bakery. Yep, […]

We didn’t plan a tight itinerary – no hour-by-hour schedule, no timed entry tickets. Just walking around, seeing what was there, and taking photos along the way. Turned out to […]
We were walking back to our hotel after a free-and-easy walking tour around the city when we spotted Sugarloaf Bakery and Pastry Shop. Didn’t plan to stop – we just saw it on the way and thought, why not? Glad we did. A Brazilian Bakery in Dublin – That Explains Everything Once we stepped inside, we […]
Our last day in Dublin and we decided to just keep it free and easy with no fixed plans. We were staying at the Holiday Inn Express Dublin City Centre and my hubby suggested we take a walk to Croke Park, the largest stadium in Ireland. At the same time, explore the surrounding neighbourhood. While […]
Ever since we had what I can only describe as a life-changing burger at Manhattn’s in Brussels, my husband and I have been chasing that high. So when a quick Google search for the best burgers in Dublin kept throwing up one name — Bunsen — we didn’t hesitate. We went straight to their Dame Street outlet, […]
