English Afternoon High Tea @ L’Espresso, Goodwood Park Hotel

If brunch equals to breakfast plus lunch, then high tea should be lunch plus dinner. That is why I adore high teas! And L’Espresso would be my ultimate choice for an ‘elegant teatime pursuit’ that exudes pure indulgence in a modern English, sophisticated setting. The English Afternoon Tea Buffet at L’Espresso is available daily with […]

Rainbows

I wrote this poem in remembrance of a special friendship that wasn’t treasured when we parted ways. The ‘lift and escalator in our houses’ conversation… The ‘lemonade & orange juice’ code names… The cute stray kitten that we looked after… Jack’s Place… Famous Amos’ double chocolate chip with pecan cookies… Thank you for the memories.

I remembered I was first introduced to Pu Tien several years back by my ‘PK mum’ (an endearing term for a friend who calls me PK aka Pumpkin) as she was raving about its Lor Mee. In my mind, Lor Mee has always been a bowl of thick flat yellow noodles in a thick, dark […]

Since a colleague greatly recommended me this place, it has become the only spaghetti house I go to now whenever I need a pasta fix. Yomenya Goemon opened its doors in […]

I Love You, Grandma 我爱你, 嬷嬷

I realised I have written poems for a couple of special people in my life but I’ve never penned one for Grandma. If you’ve read my earlier post about my Grandma, you’d know how much she means to me. I was a lonely child. And only my Grandma held my hand. I really wish I could […]

Starry Night…and Good Night!

Whenever I’m feeling down, I have a habit of standing by the window at night and looking at the sky. Sometimes, I see stars near and far. Sometimes, a crescent or full moon. All of them seem to be comforting me from above… Starry Night by Geri Tan Starry starry night I look out of […]
