It seems like one of the new ‘hip’ places to go to for dinner is near my place and next to Alexandra Village. Located at Blk 119 Bukit Merah Lane 1, this coffee shop that used to be plagued with bad fengshui and rotating shop owners, has finally found a winning combination of stalls that...

Update on Saveur’s fare
I finally went to Saveur for lunch today for my intern’s leave-do and it has been a long awaited affair. The abstinence was necessary to ensure interest in the food and observation of changes. The last time I went to Saveur was in Mar 2013. That’s almost a year ago! So…some changes noticed: The price...

More on Tiong Bahru Bakery
Please note that I did not eat both pastries in the same day. Despite my self-love on my rolls, I am trying to reduce them…so these 2 were eaten on separate days but I decided to post them in 1 posting since it is about Tiong Bahru Bakery. I have eaten an uber expensive sandwich...

Met up with some old friends at Gunther’s for lunch although we were supposed to have gone to Saveur but Saveur lost us because of the wait staff’s rudeness. Anyway, back to Gunther’s Restaurant.

Nails for the week – 8 Nov 2011
Je’taime Paris? This week’s nails is cute, frilly but yet relatively simple to do. Below is a close up of the Eiffel Tower on my thumb. I didn’t draw this on my right hand because I’m not ambidextrous…apologies for the bad pic qualities as the light and my camera refused to work with me today....

Day 3 – Mon, 29 June
If you’ve managed to take a look at my planned itinerary, you’ll realise that we skipped the Musee d’Orsay on Saturday thanks to our exhaustion. My dear brother said,”Let’s do that and we blindly went. When we finally got there, it hit me as to why I had planned it on Saturday. Musee d’Orsay, which...
