TESCO UK surprised me with what might be the best choux buns I’ve ever eaten. Right after raving about LIDL’s cookies in my previous post, here I am again, completely obsessed with another supermarket find. Who knew British supermarkets would become my unexpected dessert destination? Back in Singapore, I’ve tried plenty of fresh bakes from […]
LIDL UK wasn’t even on my radar until I tried the doughnuts and cookies my FIL always buys from there. He’s a regular at the local store, making his weekly pilgrimage for these treats. My MIL needs her afternoon tea ritual sorted, and apparently, LIDL is the answer. After trying what he brought home, I […]
Poundland UK has been my favourite discount retailer for over a decade, and honestly, it’s one of the things I miss most about living in the UK. This place stocks everything from chocolates to beauty products, and the prices? Still ridiculously affordable. When I first walked into Poundland more than ten years ago, literally everything […]
Taco Bell brings back memories from the early 2000s when their first Singapore outlet opened at Funan. My friends and I hung out there regularly because it offered something refreshingly different from the usual burger and fried chicken joints. This American fast food chain serves Mexican fare like tacos, burritos, and quesadillas that felt novel […]
One of my favourite things to do when I travel is to explore the local supermarkets, apart from sightseeing and eating of course. I don’t know why, but I find it oddly satisfying to wander through the aisles, check out the local produce, and discover interesting products that I’d never find back home in Singapore. […]
Millie’s Cookies has been that one treat we kept walking past, always telling ourselves we’d grab it next time. Well, next time finally came during our latest UK trip, and spoiler alert: we should’ve stopped sooner. Since 1985, this beloved UK brand has been baking up sweet memories across the nation. My husband grew up […]
In my previous blog post [Getting around London, Green Motion Car Hire and review of Go Native London Bridge], I mentioned about hiring a car if you’re travelling to London which of course you would need to do if you’re planning to do day trips out of London. Driving in London is somewhat tricky because […]
If you’ve missed my earlier blog post on how to get to Central London from Heathrow Airport, where to rent a car at a reasonable price and which serviced apartment to stay in while in London, read -> Getting around London, Green Motion Car Hire and review of Go Native London Bridge. I was lucky […]
My wanderlust is kicking in again even though I’ve only just returned from a 2-week long holiday. And it seems like I’m having a jolly good time logging my travel stories because it’s such a great way to relive those holiday memories and at the same time, I can sort and archive my photos too […]
When I was recently blogging about Tea Lounge @ Regent Hotel where its scones are very popular with the locals, I was reminded of the best tea time experience I’ve ever had when I visited the birthplace of William Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon. Getting a taste of olde England in Shakespeare’s hometown was something very surreal to me. […]
