Armed with my computer, mobile phone and iPad on the morning when Jay Chou’s concert tickets were released for sale, I was ready to battle with possibly thousands of his hardcore fans to get the best seats tickets for a chance to see Jay Chou in action. Despite my fast & furious finger movements in refreshing […]
My husband and I started hunting for a flat last year. And we were lucky enough to shortlist one particular house on the first day of viewing with our agent. It was a 33-year-old 5-room flat in Ang Mo Kio, just opposite my parents’ block. Being such an old flat with first generation fittings, there […]
I used to think of Chinese traditional desserts as plain sugary soups with (possibly) miserable portions of ingredients (I’m not kidding – have you ever tried red bean or green bean soup that’s full of water but so little beans?) until I chanced upon Dessert Hut in Chinatown one day while out shopping with my […]
One of my favourite places for fish head curry in Singapore will have to be The Banana Leaf Apolo at Race Course Road. This was recommended by my college mate almost a decade ago when we then brought one of our American lecturers here for dinner and since then I have fallen in love with […]

Sunday is best spent with a good brunch coupled with a laid-back and tranquil setting. Given Singapore is such a concrete jungle, it is rather rare to find a place that fits the bill. I first heard of Spruce from a colleague and decided to head over for a lazy weekend brunch with my good […]
Macadamia CaramelCrisp ($9.00 for small bag) Who would ever expected popcorn to be that exquisite that this gourmet outlet would just spruce all over town in a flash? Every time I walk by a Garrett popcorn shop, I’d marvel at the long queue of people who are willing to pay a substantial amount of money […]
My husband and I headed to Sembawang Shopping Centre for some late night shopping and was scouting the area for a supper fix when we came across D’Rubinah at this corner coffeeshop along a row of shophouses on Sembawang Road. It looked pretty busy and the fragrance of prata and briyani in the air was super […]
