Ask any local where to get good old Hainanese coffee in Georgetown, Penang, I’m sure he or she will likely point you to Toh Soon Cafe which is just two streets away from the famous Line Clear Nasi Kandar and is located in a back alley off Lebuh Campbell. It was a late afternoon on […]

After having a quick tea break at Mugshot Cafe, we headed to our next stop just further down the road and near to the junction of Lebuh Chulia and Jalan Penang. Line Clear Nasi Kandar is located in an alleyway which is very easy to miss. If you’re walking from Lebuh Chulia, keep to the […]

The last time I came to Penang, I had a lovely tea break at Coffee Affairs that served up decadent mille crepes and cheesecakes. While exploring, I also discovered several other hipster cafes in the old quaint streets of Georgetown that I felt would be worth a separate cafe hopping trip. And indeed, this time […]

As a working woman I realise, it certainly gets a little challenging to go out and shop for every necessity; be it clothing or groceries. Moreover, after spending an entire day in the office firefighting, who really does have that energy or time to head to the shopping mall or supermarket. I tend to avoid […]

On the previous occasion when the husband and I came to the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park for fish feeding (an excellent way to use up those day-old bread if not eating them), we spotted some interesting trees at Bishan Park 1 surrounding the playground area which produced cones that resembled the Christmassy ones. This particular […]

Hello again Jen. Just a year ago, I was here with my family for their weekend brunch buffet at the former Cafebiz (now renamed to J65). And last month I was back with my husband because the kind folks at Hotel Jen Tanglin had hosted us for a one-night stay which happened to coincide with […]

Have you guys been to Woodlands Terrace yet for your CNY shopping? I was there on the weekend – people mountain people sea as usual. Managed to snag salmon fillets, smoked salmon and squids from Fassler, assorted CNY cookies from DJ Bakery, sauces from Chuen Cheong and a bunch of different steamboat ingredients from Li […]

Good morning sunshine! ☀☀☀ The husband and I went for a walk at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park as I wanted to feed the fishes. When we were done, we decided to go the opposite direction towards Upper Thomson Road so we could deviate from our usual route just for a change. I was glad we […]

This garden really brought back a lot of fond childhood memories. I remembered how I used to come here with my friends after going to the library on the opposite side of the road. Because we would race one another up the steps just to be the one to reach the top. Anyway the husband […]

My husband and I are movie buffs and we used to spend way too much $$$ watching movies in the cinema every month. And I’m sure we are not the only ones in Singapore who do that. When news broke that Netflix (an internet streaming-video/media provider based in the US) was going to be launched […]

The first time I came across the term cashback was when I was in the UK because the husband frequently made use of top UK cashback sites to make his online purchases and literally earn cash back with every transaction. When we returned to Singapore, he was quite gutted that there wasn’t a similar site […]

Update Jan 2017: The Tokutokuya outlets at Kallang Leisure Park & Ang Mo Kio Big Mac Centre are now changed to Mijyi – Your Dollar Up Mart. The only Tokutokuya outlet in SG is located at Changi City Point. Just a quick post for today cos’ I’m now preparing for Double-11 (11 November) which is […]

I am a BIG fan of zakka (Japanese term for ‘杂货’) which is basically referring to home improvement and/or lifestyle products for either decorative or practical purposes. I guess it’s also because of my interest in food styling and photography that I’ve started collecting zakka since a few months back. I’ve so many new stuffs […]

I’ve been looking for gold again on Qoo10 and found another great ticket deal for the S.E.A. Aquarium. Ended up paying only S$24+ for 2 (admission-after-2pm) tickets that included admission to The Maritime Experiential Museum and Typhoon Theatre as well. That was a whopping 40% off the published rates! 😉 These tickets had at least […]

Happy Birthday, Tools of The Trade (ToTT Store)! I was invited to ToTT’s first-ever Carnival Day on Saturday to celebrate its 5th birthday. For those who haven’t been to ToTT, check out my earlier blog post, ToTT Store @ Dunearn Road – A One Stop Shop for Kitchen Supplies. It’s my favourite store to go for […]

When I first received my bottle of Dynamo Power Gel, I was quite impressed with the product design because it came with a screw cap on top that doubled up as a measuring cup. As such, it was easy to measure out sufficient amounts of the power gel depending on the wash load size (about […]
