The Happy Pig Pancake Shop became our saving grace after Upstairs Pancakes turned us away without a reservation. We’d wanted to try that famous spot housed in a 16th century building with its really steep stairs leading up to the dining area. But no reservation meant no pancakes there. Located just 500 metres away, The […]
Vegan Junk Food Bar sits just a 3-minute walk from the Heineken Experience, making it a convenient lunch stop after your brewery tour. We spotted it whilst hunting for food nearby, and the solid Google reviews sealed the deal. Whether you’re vegan or not, this Amsterdam spot’s worth checking out – they’re doing plant-based junk […]
We hadn’t heard of Bulgogi Syo before this visit. Punggol just launched a new bus service 104 that passes by our neighbourhood, so hubby and I decided to take it for a spin. The route took us all the way to Woodleigh Mall – not bad for a lazy Sunday adventure. While browsing through Woodleigh […]
I was having pad krapow with my hubby the other day at One Punggol Hawker Centre. The dish came with a nicely fried egg – runny yolk, crispy bottom. He commented that he ordered the pad krapow because he wanted the egg. That’s when I remembered seeing Basil King on social media. They serve up […]
Winkel 43 popped up on every Google search when I hunted for the best Dutch apple pie in Amsterdam. This famous cafe sits in the Jordaan neighbourhood, and locals swear by it. Dutch apple pie is a must-try when you’re in Amsterdam, so naturally, I had to check it out. The Queue Situation at Winkel […]
You Fu Ban Mian & Pao Fan 有福板面泡饭 at Punggol Coast Hawker Centre has become my go-to spot for pao fan. Ever since this hawker centre opened, my husband and I have been making our way through the stalls. This one’s had me coming back multiple times now. Decoding the Menu Right off the bat, their […]
Manneken Pis Damrak serves up Belgian-style fries that actually deliver on the hype. Located right on Damrak, this spot’s been pulling crowds for good reason. Manneken Pis Damrak is only a 5-minute walk from Centraal Station. It’s located on Damrak Street, the main avenue leading to Dam Square. Impossible to miss it as there’s always […]
queic by Olivia at Jewel Changi Airport wasn’t on our original plan. Hubby just collected his new iPhone from the Apple Store and needed time to fiddle with it. We needed coffee. Then we spotted queic by Olivia, and Hubby’s eyes lit up. He’d been wanting to try their cheesecakes after seeing them all over […]
My hubby had actually preordered his iPhone 17, but after finding out that the Apple Store at Jewel Changi Airport had limited stock of the green one, he cancelled his online order and placed a new one for in-store pickup. We flew over to Jewel almost immediately—he just couldn’t wait to get his hands on […]
Peng Guan Bak Kwa changed my entire perspective on affordable bak kwa in Singapore. I stumbled upon them on Qoo10 years ago when they were selling at $13 per 500g. That price already seemed brilliant. Fast forward to today, and they’re now $10 per 500g on Shopee. Yes, you read that right. The same deal applies […]
Loong Fatt Tau Sar Piah was my first tau sar piah love 15 years ago. It’s still my number one today. Back then, each pastry cost just $0.60. Now it’s $1.30. The price has more than doubled, but honestly? Still worth every cent and every calorie! I wrote about Loong Fatt Tau Sar Piah on […]
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 […]
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 […]
So here’s how we found Ah Jie Hokkien Mee. We were at Ang Mo Kio Central one morning sorting out our international driver’s permit at the Automobile Association. Once that was done, our stomachs started demanding attention. We walked over to the coffeeshop at Blk 721, originally planning to hit up Buk Chang Dong Soon […]
Kawan Bowl first landed on my radar during one of our usual pickleball nights at Anchorvale Village Hawker Centre. We’d just wrapped up a game, drenched in sweat and ready to eat, when someone at the next table ordered this hearty-looking Chicken Luncheon bowl that looked pretty shiok. That was enough to get us curious. […]
Since Punggol Coast Hawker Centre opened in July 2025, my hubby and I have made it our mission to try as many stalls as we can. We’ve worked our way through curry puffs, nyonya kueh, curry chicken noodles, pao fan, oyster omelette, carrot cake, wu xiang xia bing, rojak – you name it. Most of […]
