I don’t think Asia Grand has the best Char Siew Sou ($4), but the ones here are definitely better than average. (Which explains why they are in this list of course.) Moreover, the restaurant is located in a central location, making it the perfect place to meet up with friends to satis...
Caesar salad is an Italian salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with an anchovy-olive oil dressing. One of the main reasons why I prefer home-made Caesar salad is because I always make sure that my salad dressing contains anchovies (nice and savoury), even though the addition...
I don’t know about you, but I am one of those few Singaporeans who are quite not-cool when it comes to being informed about the new hip cafes or restaurants in town. Most of the time, I’m normally the one being brought around to check out new places. And I wish to change that! Hahaha.
Old Airport Road Food Centre - Hawker Trail 上周六，我和Cusine Paradise 举办了$10的小贩午餐聚会，我们来到了美食多多的旧机场路51座小贩中心（Old Airport Road Food Centre，51 Old Airport Road），和20位朋友一起吃个痛快！ 这次的反应很热烈，所以我们把大家分成4桌用餐。每人只需付$10就能品尝到12个不同摊位的菜肴，简直太划算了! “新美香卤面”（Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee）的美味程度可以从面摊午餐时间的繁忙程度得知。这里卤面的配料有炸红哥里...
My memories of Chequers are both vague and vivid. It was populated, if I remember rightly, by British families in transit, either just arriving or just about to leave. There were a lot of children, and we had non-stop fun from breakfast time until dinner. We had the run of the place –...
Last week I was sent for a trip Down Under, Brisbane to be exact, for one of Australia's most exciting music festivals! With big acts like those, you can't miss their posters on the streets.
Whenever I visit the UK, I usually return with an armful of magazines, thanks to the amazing freebies bundled with UK magazines. They often also include sample sachets of the latest foundations or skincare products (but sadly, these are not included in the issues sold outside of the U...
I have been wanting to do a "What's in my Bag? " post for the longest time. But I procrastinated time and again because I am simply too lazy to lay out everything I have. So when Jacob from cooksnapeatlove.com asked me to do a guest post for him on this topic, I have no reason to proc...

The only disadvantage about this device is the time spent in doing the treatment (24 mins is quite a long time to sit there and do nothing except shining light onto your face), but if you can multi-task when doing the treatment then good for you! (Like watching the TV or something) Al...
In my recent trips, Manila restored my faith in humanity because I saw how there were still people who valued sharing; Jakarta taught me to listen to my heart once more and trust it to guide me to do what feels right for me. Now in New York, meeting up with one of my favourite girls f...

This is a review of Shu Uemura's Stage Performer - Instant-glow Immediate Radiance Skin Perfecting Cream (I shall only refer it to "Radiance Skin Cream" later on...what a mouthful of a descriptive product name!). I had purchased this back in Dec when I was in Hong Kong. And prior to t...
Know much about sake? I didn't. I always thought Sake was a tad too strong for my stomach, and that all Sake tasted similar, that they were all meant to taste harsh. Boy was I so wrong.... On the evening of my family's day 3 in Hokkaido, we were brought to this Sake brewery known as 男...
I mean to write this post earlier but got sidetracked into reading the Hunger Games trilogy last weekend. After plowing through all three books in three days, the tale has been haunting me. The writing is not the most masterful but nevertheless, it's a thrilling page-turner that gets ...

The best indicator of whether more foreigners are coming is the MRT. Just take the train regularly and you can feel and sense whether there are more or less foreigners in the country. These few weeks I have noticed an exceptionally higher presence of foreigners in the train. They are ...
Has the govt came out with any policy recently that is tough but willingly accepted by all parties, including those that were targeted by the policy? The latest curb on property speculation is one of those rare policies that can be classified as tough and good. The affected parties, p...

Frankly Sinkies deserve it coz they keep on voting for PAP out of selfish reasons (e.g. HDB upgrading, HDB estate turn into slums, property price collapse, my company doing very well, I still got good salary) and daft-headed mentality (e.g. govt track down who vote opposition, job at ...
STOMPer J. Lee was irked by a recruitment email for jobs in Singapore, sent out by what appears to be a local firm, that apparently targets only graduates from foreign universities. Says the STOMPer: “I am a Singaporean studying overseas in Australia. I recently logged in to my studen...
What do cultural festivals, anniversaries, and special days (Mother's Day, Teacher's Day) have in common? Well, beyond the festive buzz, there will always be a certain annual rhythm in how things build up to a crescendo, infused with traditions, rituals and customs that date back to t...
Hakka Yong Tau Fu (40 cents per piece min 5 pcs ) Ever wondered why Yong Tau Fu is called YONG Tau Fu? Tau Foo we all know is bean curd, but what's teh meaning of "Yong"? Well as it turns out, the word "Yong" is actually a simplification of the Hakka dialect "Nyiong" which means to st...
Wow, what a disturbing blog post and subsequent comments section. I guess its too much to ask for a circumcising culture to realize what they are actually doing. Its the same way in cultures that practice FGM... it seems normal to them, and they conjure up all kinds of silly reasons w...
