It’s been decades (at least 1 decade for sure) since I’ve been to the Singapore Zoo. It’s a little further and bigger than what I remembered (or maybe imagined) 🤭 Luckily the weather wasn’t too bad, having rained in the morning. In fact, we waited for the rain to stop...

Yong Fa Hainanese Curry Rice & Curry Fish Head is my favorite go-to makan place in Clementi. A dear friend, who grew up in the neighborhood, drove us here for lunch and there’s no going back. Perhaps a close 2nd would be Ocean Curry Fish Head @ Toa Payoh, which we...

Going to Swensen’s is a treat. Back when Swensen’s Cool Rewards membership comes with free tea/coffee, or the option to top up just $1 for a milkshake. Their AMAZING Celebrity Brownie, sold at S$10, was an all-time favorite. A thick layer of warm and moist...

Genki Sushi has been on my mind for quite a while now. Genki is our go-to for Japanese food in Singapore. It may not be comparable to higher-end Japanese restaurants, but it’s definitely value-for-money. And some of their dishes are even better than Ichiban. Genki...

What an interesting dining experience, eating at Arab Street Turkish Restaurant in Yishun. Definitely fulfils the keyword “hidden gem”, as a uniquely decorated restaurant under a HDB block. Hope we weren’t too excitedly noisy for the residents upstairs. Though…that...

There are a number of dishes I like at Souper Tang, like its Steamed Chicken with Cordyceps Flower and Chicken Essence and Home Braised Pork Belly in Rich Dark Sauce. However, we’re usually too full from lunch at Sushi Zento to order anything much at Souper Tang....

The thing about being a Sushi Zento member is that you’ll keep coming back for the membership perks. Like the RM1 dish with RM250 spend and free ice cream: 1 scoop per RM50 spend. Of course there’re dishes we like as well, with many more items on their menu to...

Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine 醉花林品潮轩 is different. It exudes a different kind of vibe from your usual Chinese restaurants with its unique location and dishes. Stepping into Chui Huay Lim Club 醉花林俱乐部 is like entering into a different world. Sadly, it was raining that...

Almost every visit to Wah Lok Cantonese Restaurant is delightfully delicious…except that one time when we were charged $48++ for a plate of 豆苗! 😱 It will be etched in my memory forever. And that was pre-covid. Wonder how much will the plate of average tasting 豆苗cost...

There are a number of banks which reward us for crediting our salary with them. While I used to default to Standard Chartered, my favorite bank, the interest rates of their Bonus$aver Account have been adjusted a number of times, from when I 1st signed up with them....
