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 […]
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) – […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
I had actually stopped buying stuffs on Qoo10 for a long time because it was just too easy to get hooked onto online shopping. I would tend to overspend and end up buying things that I didn’t really need. Having insufficient space at home to store my white elephants didn’t help and I had to […]
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 […]
