They took away Seah Street Deli at Raffles Hotel and replaced it with Halia!! Can’t complain since I’m not a fan of Seah Street Deli nor have I eaten at Halia before so this was a nice place to try out with the family. Mum ordered a starter of roasted carrot soup with olive oil...

Alistair’s 1st Birthday
How time flies. It seemed like only a few months ago that I attended Alistair’s 1st month party and carried him in my arms while he slept. Now, he’s a very heavy 1 year old who is able to shake his head to say ‘no’ and will pick who to carry him. Part 1 of...

Saveur-ing again and again!
Greedy friends and I went to Saveur again after dinner at Jai Thai, Purvis Street, for dessert (and dinner round 2 for a super greedy friend). Note that we originally wanted to have dinner at Saveur but when I arrived at 6.50pm, the waiting list was so long that we would have to wait 1.5...

LIttle Tuscan Gem in Singapore – Trattoria Noona Lina (Restaurant Review)
Yesterday was my bro’s birthday so we went to Trattoria Noona Lina, which is a small Italian restaurant started by his friend’s friend’s husband. Another story of an Italian man meeting a Singaporean woman, falling in love, move to Singapore and starting an Italian restaurant while bringing along his parents (check out Valentino’s in Bt....

Another Game Card
Received a log cake and a Christmas card from another vendor today and I sense a theme…It’s another GAME! An ex-colleague pointed out ‘Snowflake’ to me after I had instagrammed the bottom photo. Can you spot it? I must say that people are getting more creative with their greetings. Unfortunately, I’m too busy to be...

Another Trip to Bing Bian
Went to Bing Bian at Millenia Walk again yesterday with Siew Mai, and I “choped” (reserved) their last serving of yu yuan dumplings for their Taro Ice. Thank you Gary! Helps that the owner recognised me after our last meeting. So honoured!! 
So, Gary had told me previously that his team and himself had...

In a mood for Christmas
I’m in the mood for Christmas!!! It all started off with Canele’s Christmas macarons… Above is Chestnut and Elderflower, although they also have Gingerbread as well as a Cranberry one too…I think. Anyhows, I love the chestnut flavoured one while I felt that the Elderflower macaron was so-so. These little things aren’t cheap at $3...

Review – Bing Bian
Went to Millenia Walk on Tue and I went off to have dessert (again) at this new place called Bing Bian. I’m sure most Singaporeans, Taiwanese and Malaysians would’ve known ‘snow ice’ desserts by now. It’s like ice cream minus all the cream and eggs. This is similar to that but they have tons more...

Review – Twelve Cupcakes
Cupcake fad has hit Singapore!! ‘Twelve Cupcakes‘ is the chain by former Miss Universe Singapore Jaime Teo and her hubby, DJ Daniel Ong. I decided to try it since they were having a ‘Buy 4, get 2 free’ promotion. They only had 6 flavours left so I guess it must’ve been kismet. The cupcakes are...

And I Turn A Year Older
Yet another year passes and this year…I decided to do something a little bit different. I organised my own bday lunch party. I know…sounds really weird but I bought Union Jack fake nails, buntings and napkins when I was in London so…I decided to use it during my birthday. It was that or Christmas…and somehow, Union Jack...
