Marlow’s Deli caught me completely off guard during one of my East Coast wanderings. Hubby’s been doing physio in the area, so I’ve been exploring lunch spots while waiting around. Googled for options and this place popped up. As a proper bread person who lives for sandwiches, I had to check it out. From Wooly’s […]

The Saigon caught us on one of those days when we were properly sick of our usual Punggol haunts. You know the feeling – same old kopitiams, same old hawker centres, same old everything. A quick Google search led us to this Vietnamese stall tucked inside Foodgle Coffeeshop at 308C Punggol Walk, just five minutes […]

What The Puff! at Punggol Coast Hawker Centre serves curry puffs that’ll make you travel across Singapore just for a bite. My husband and I first tried two puffs here and loved them so much, we returned for lunch and packed a box for tea time. Five Flavours, All Winners What The Puff! offers five […]

So I was accompanying my husband for his physio session at East Coast, and once he was done, we were both starving. Did a quick Google search for lunch spots nearby and Bites & Brews popped up. Figured we’d give it a shot. First Impressions We visited during Halloween, so the place was decked out […]

Dong Bei Ren Jia 东北人家 came into my life through my husband, who’d been sneaking off there with his colleagues for Chinese dishes and beer sessions. He’d bring home takeaways from this spot, and honestly, I was hooked from the first bite. After checking out from our weekend staycation at Mercure ICON Singapore City Centre, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
