Back to Penang for half a day while on a cruise holiday aboard Sapphire Princess! For those who have yet gone on a Princess cruise or are considering to go on one, check out my blog posts on my cruising experience with Sapphire Princess last year: Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 1 of 3) – […]
Every time the husband and I walked past Humble Beginnings at JB City Square, we kept saying to ourselves that we would come back for their mille crepes next time but it never did happen. So at our last JB exploration trip when we came back to JB Sentral from AEON Bukit Indah, we immediately […]
Baagus Place is a small casual-dining eatery located just opposite the TGV Cinemas on the 2nd floor of AEON Bukit Indah Shopping Centre. For directions on how to get to AEON Bukit Indah from JB Sentral/CIQ, check out my earlier post: How to get to AEON Bukit Indah by bus? – Johor Bahru Shuttle Bus […]
A&W, you are dearly missed. Please come back to Singapore soon. Since A&W’s exit from Singapore in 2003, I’m sure many Singaporeans like myself who had grown up with one of our favourite childhood fast food chains must be craving for its root beer floats, waffles, coney dogs and curly fries for a long time. Though they […]
Update: This bus service is no longer in operation. Since I started writing about Johor Bahru shuttle bus guides, I seemed to have transformed into a walking street directory because I’ve been getting emails every other day from people asking for directions to travel around Johor Bahru especially from CIQ/JB Sentral to the shopping malls, […]
After our roast meat meal at Restoran Ya Wang @ Jalan Segget, we ventured out to the streets again for further exploration and found ourselves stopping by It Roo Cafe for a second round of feasting. That’s what food-hopping is all about, isn’t it? Eat, eat and eat! 🙂 Well, no complains, really. Haha. Above […]
I’ve never seen money changers in Singapore been this hot before. People are just flocking to money changers these days to snap up Malaysian Ringgit as it falls (and continues to fall) to record low against the Sing dollar. Now, SGD1 can buy RM3. Goodness gracious. When can be a better time than now to […]
The final instalment of my Sapphire Princess cruise review trilogy post. If you have missed out on the earlier two parts, here they are: Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 1 of 3) – The Best Holiday Experience Ever Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 2 of 3) – An Endless Supply of Food Before I went […]
Before I conclude my review of our 3-night Straits of Malacca cruise onboard Princess Cruises’ Sapphire Princess, I thought I would share this little gem I found while exploring the streets of Georgetown on foot. We arrived in Penang on the 2nd day of our cruise and since it was only for a couple of […]
To avid foodies like us, the most exciting part of a cruise had got to be the FOOD. That is why I need a whole blog post for it, haha. Anyway, if you haven’t read Part 1 of my cruise review, here’s the link to it -> Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 1 of 3) – […]
It had been a decade since I last went on a cruise with my college mates on Star Cruises’ Superstar Virgo. Though I vaguely remembered all the things we did during the cruise, I just knew we had so much fun together. The beautiful thing about going on a cruise is that it’s really a […]
I have been to Johor Bahru countless times but have never strayed away from their mainstream shopping centres as I tend to avoid dodgy streets after hearing many horror stories of people getting robbed at knifepoint, etc. Sometime last year, the husband and I took a taxi from City Square to Grand Bluewave Hotel for […]
Latest Update: Bet6 had ceased operation w.e.f. 1 April 2019. To get to AEON Tebrau City or IKEA Tebrau from JB Sentral, please refer to https://businterchange.net/johorbus/news/358-withdrawal-of-bus-service-bet6.html for alternative buses. The husband and I chose a Saturday (wrong move because it took us more than 3 hours to clear immigration and to get across a heavily […]
Finally, finally, the last instalment of my bak kut teh eat-venture. Before this, I didn’t fancy peppery BKTs that much so it had never really been a meal option for consideration. After trying some good BKTs in Singapore recently, I couldn’t deny that my taste buds had indeed changed over time and I’m already loving […]
Update June 2022: Bus service S1 has been renamed to F100. Fare of RM1.50 remains the same. I know this post is so out of the blue. Why am I giving directions to a mall that many Singaporeans have visited for years? Well this kind of serves as a prelude to my following post after […]
It’s so strange as I had been to KL many times for business but I had never taken notice of anything (food) interesting to bring home to Singapore. Maybe that’s what happens during work trips – everything else seems so unexciting, lol. Anyway, the husband had to work on a mega project which he had […]
