FOOD
- My Little Spanish Place - as its name suggests it's a small Spanish restaurant with very nice tapas
- Three Wombats Cafe - a small cafe on Kim Keat Road serving nice coffee, good breakfast, wonderful ca.esar salad, and peach cheesecake
- Icecream waffle sandwich vendor on Orchard Road near TANGS
- 211 Roof Terrance Cafe in Holland Village. Food is alright, but drinks not that great. It is a nice oasis on the rooftop of Holland Village Shopping Center.
- Lau Pa Sat - for years I loved Fatman Satay (Stall #1 and 2) but this time I tried Traditional Satay (Stall #3 and 4) and I actually liked it better. I think mutton and duck are both particularly good.
- PS.Cafe is a nice brunch restaurant set in a very green, park environment. I loved the whole atmosphere even though the food is mediocre and overpriced.
- Newton Hawker Center is NOT my favourite. I prefer Lau Pa Sat, East Coast, and Maxwell. Regardless, I always love sugar cane juice with lemon.
- Founder Bakuteh was alright. It's very peppery and I think I prefer the Malaysian herbal version of Bakuteh more.
- Ion Shopping Center's food court was pretty nice, with large variety of food choices and a clean environment. I loved that they had a wash basin for customers to wash their hands in the middle of the food court.
- Bengawan Solo is always my favourite for Indonesian cakes and desserts. I often buy pandan cake at the airport both on arrival and departure.
I love shopping in Singapore (even more if the exchange rate is more favourable). I just always manage to find things to buy there. A few of my favourites:
- TANGS is always my first stop. I love the earring and accessories brand, Metalli, and I often bought more than 3 or 4 pairs of earrings each time I visited their counter.
- TANGS also sometimes have pretty shoes at very affordable prices. They may not be the most comfortable shoes though, so I rarely buy heels from them. This time, I bought 4 pairs of ballerina flats cos they were really pretty. I am still trying to find a way to make them softer and more comfortable as I do not believe in torturing my feet no matter how pretty a pair of shoes is.
- Holland Village is also a great place to look for trinkets, home decoration items, or ethnic wear. In particular, I love Lim's and Creative Dimensions. The former has plenty of home decoration products, mostly Asian style with a modern twist. I bought cushion covers and a jewelry box there. Creative Dimensions is heaven if you are into sequins and beaded bags, coasters, cushion covers, etc. I got myself two little purses, some coasters and a small coin bag there.
- Another favourite shop of mine in Singapore is Island Shop. It's great for beachwear and summer clothing. I have a lot of clothes from there, accumulated from each of my Singapore visits. This time I didn't buy anything as it wasn't on sale.
Apart from Night Safari, I never had much idea what else to do for fun in Singapore. Thanks to my friends, Janis, Pat and Gautam, I was taken to some new places this time.
- Night Safari has always been my favourite. I love taking the park train to see different animals, and love the walk up and down the jungle in the dark even more.
- Peirce Reservoir was a really cool place my friends took me to, as I wanted to get away from all the traffic and crowds, and be near to nature. It was a really lovely walk, with a very flat trail by the reservoir, and lots of greenery perfect for a picnic date. I really loved it.
- A new and chic rooftop, open-air bar/ lounge is Ying Yang. We walked past Chinatown to get there. It was really happening.
- We also spent time just chilling in Starbucks, Page One etc in the mall for some aircon (the humidity in Singapore was unbearable, even my clothes and bag were damp most of the time).
