Mini Keria Gula Melaka wasn’t part of my plans when I was walking down Bussorah Street after breakfast at PARKROYAL on Beach Road during our weekend staycation. I didn’t expect them to be open since Google showed they only open at 11:30am. It was 10:20am when I spotted the OPEN sign hanging on their door […]
I first discovered Martirelo Longis by Virginia Potato Snack during a casual RedMart browse. The Spanish brand launched with three flavours, and I couldn’t resist grabbing Original, Paprika, and Sour Cream & Onion to sample. RedMart prices these at $3.30 per 75g pack. But here’s the kicker – they’re running a promotion till end September. […]
I discovered Drunken Pot & Pho Ngon Vietnam by chance while buying tarts at June Bakery. Both are tucked away on the B1 level of The Plaza. We were there at 11am+ and they’d only just opened for business. First customers of the day. The usual drill these days is scanning QR codes on tables […]
June Bakery has been on my must-visit list forever, but their weekday-only hours and sell-out tendencies made it nearly impossible to try. Finally managed to snag some of their legendary tarts during a staycation at PARKROYAL on Beach Road – and now I understand the hype. Finding June Bakery Staying at PARKROYAL on Beach Road? You’ve […]
The new McCrispy burger at McDonald’s first grabbed my attention on Thursday when I noticed a massive queue snaking outside their outlet. I was heading out for lunch and, curious about the fuss, decided to check it out. Free Launch Day Queue Experience Turns out McDonald’s was giving out free McCrispy burgers to celebrate the […]
I’d shared earlier about our Changi Beach sunrise adventure, but the morning didn’t end there. On our way to Changi Village Hawker Centre for breakfast, we couldn’t resist swinging by Glory Fried Banana to grab some piping-hot goreng pisang to take away. Stumbling Upon Glory Fried Banana Honestly wasn’t expecting to see a goreng pisang […]
Dona Bakehouse has been sitting right next to the famous Hiap Joo Bakery, and honestly, we’ve walked past it countless times without giving it a second thought. This time was different though. Finding Dona Bakehouse: Location and First Impressions After our brunch at Chai Ji Fish Soup and cake shopping at Hiap Joo, we found ourselves […]
On our last day before heading back to Singapore, we popped by JB’s Old Town to grab cakes from Hiap Joo and squeeze in one final brunch. Previously, when we visited Chai Ji Fish Soup’s neighbour Tian Xin Lou for dim sum brunch, I’d spotted this place next door and made a mental note to return. After days of […]
Tian Tian Dao 天天到湖南小碗菜 became our next target after our amazing experience at Pin Wan Wan’s small bowl concept. We were so impressed by that format that hunting down another similar spot became our mission. What made this place stand out? Their speciality in Hunan cuisine – something hubby and I barely knew anything about. Located […]
Siblings Gelato became a highlight of our rainy afternoon in Johor Bahru. What began as a quick stop to escape the downpour turned into one of the most memorable gelato experiences I’ve had this year. The Unexpected Discovery After polishing off our dim sum brunch at Tian Xin Lou, we planned to stroll back to our […]
Chicken biscuits (Ji Zai Bing 鸡仔饼) have been my childhood snack obsession, and I’ve recently discovered there’s more to these treats than meets the eye. Growing up, Mum was absolutely mad about the thin crispy version. Every Malaysia trip meant bringing back packets of these golden delights for the family. The Thick vs Thin Chicken […]
Tian Xin Lou 添心楼 sits smack in the middle of JB Old Town’s most Instagram-worthy shophouse trio. You can’t miss it – three units painted in traffic light colours that practically scream for your attention. Chai Ji Fish Soup rocks the red on the left, Tian Xin Lou claims the green middle spot, and Bei’s […]
I came across BEUTEA 茶仙子 during a recent food crawl in Mount Austin, and I was genuinely impressed by what this tea brand brings to the table. After stuffing ourselves silly at Pin Wan Wan, we were in desperate need of a walk to shake off the food coma before heading to our next stop. […]
On our recent food trip to Johor Bahru, we ended up at Pin Wan Wan Mini Bowl @ Mount Austin. Despite making countless trips across the causeway over the years, we had never thought to explore Mount Austin. Looking back, it’s hard to believe we overlooked it for so long. My husband and I have […]
ROPUDON 肉山の霸丼 at Permas City, Johor Bahru first came on my radar through RedNote posts flaunting their drool-worthy donburi bowls. I’ll admit, I was completely hooked by those pics. Since I was heading over to Plentong for some shopping at Eco-Shop and Ninso, and Permas City was right along the way, I figured it was […]
Every Monday evening, the area outside KSL City comes alive as the popular KSL pasar malam kicks off from 5pm. After indulging in a relaxing massage at nearby Thong Thai, we strolled over to join the crowds and see what the buzz was all about. The night market was a feast for the senses – […]
