Last time I passed by Pretty Good Muffins at Hong Lim Complex during peak lunch hours, the queue was ridiculously long. Made a mental note to return, and finally got my chance during a mini staycation at Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre. Showed up Saturday morning around 10.40am, even though they’re meant to open at […]

Heng Heng Ondeh Ondeh & Tapioca Cake has been my husband’s go-to spot for 15 years. Back when he worked near Maxwell Market, he’d grab their kueh during lunch for office tea breaks. They’d often sell out before closing time. COVID hit, work-from-home started, and we stopped visiting for ages. One Saturday morning, we wandered […]

Cafe 2000 at M Hotel Singapore was our pick for a quick catchup with the folks before hubby and I jetted off to Western Australia. We’d been here before and shared our experience because the buffet menu caters perfectly to my parents’ fussy tastebuds. Plus, the live BBQ is a solid bonus. Festive Dinner Menu […]

We were on a mini staycation at Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre on Club Street, and honestly… how could we not swing by Messina when it’s literally right next door? The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendliest staff who encouraged us to sample anything we liked. No pressure, no rush — […]

Hubby and I were planning a one-night staycation at Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre. We needed lunch before checking in, and since we hadn’t had Korean BBQ in ages, a quick Google search brought up Danji Korean BBQ Buffet. Made a reservation and off we went. First Impressions at Danji Korean BBQ Buffet The warm […]

FEBO caught our attention after spotting several outlets while wandering around Amsterdam. On our final day before heading to Brussels, we decided to give this iconic Dutch fast-food chain a proper try. What Makes FEBO Different FEBO started back in 1941 in Amsterdam. They serve typical fast-food fare like fries, burgers, and fried snacks. But […]

Polaberry caught me completely off guard during my Amsterdam trip. This is one of those rare times I went for something that looks beautiful over something I knew would be delicious. Those social media feeds got me good. Rocked up at Polaberry literally 6 minutes before closing time. Big mistake. The counter staff was properly […]

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 […]
