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, […]
If you’ve read my earlier post on Brannigans Bar, you’d know why Irish pubs hold a special significance to me. So on this trip to Dublin, The Brazen Head was one place I really wanted to check out. Established in 1198, it’s said to be Ireland’s oldest pub — and honestly, I was just curious to see […]
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 […]
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. It’s a massive, seven-storey tribute to the “Black Stuff,” housed in a building shaped like a giant pint glass. While […]
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 […]
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 […]
I was at Compass One on a weekday afternoon running some errands and figured I’d grab lunch there. Scrolled through the store directory and POCHA Korean Street Dining caught my eye. I’ve walked past this Korean spot countless times in other malls but never actually stepped in. Today felt like the perfect time to finally […]
My husband’s colleague raved about Durian SG Prime after ordering delivery, so we jumped on the bandwagon. Living where we do, getting quality durians means settling for whatever Sheng Siong has—and honestly? Not worth the price tag. Here’s the thing about Durian SG Prime: they’re not just some random delivery service. They’ve got an actual […]
When the IKEA CNY brochure landed in my mailbox, one item immediately grabbed my attention: IKEA Salted Egg Chicken Wings. My husband and I are huge salted egg fans—we love anything salted egg. Since I was already planning to pop by IKEA last week to check out their festive cookies, we figured why not just have […]
So there we were, done with sightseeing for the day. It was already drizzling, and we were planning to just walk back to our hotel and call it a day. Then I spotted Amorino Gelato on the way and honestly, couldn’t resist grabbing some gelato to eat. What is Amorino Gelato? Amorino Gelato is a […]
Fries time again! If you’ve been following my Amsterdam and Brussels posts, you’ll realise I’ve been eating WAY TOO MUCH fries. Honestly, I think it’s the most popular street food in this part of Europe. When the weather’s chilly and you want something warm but not a full meal, hot crispy fries just feel right. […]
So, Delirium Village Brussels. You’ve probably heard about it in the news. Delirium Café holds a Guinness World Record from 2004 for having the most beer varieties in the world — a whopping 2,004 of them. Now they claim to have almost 2,500. Amazing. This place has a massive selection of international and local Belgian […]
