My dining experience at this restaurant was so excruciatingly bad I didn’t really want to remember it, much less talk about it. But then I decided — because it was so bad, all the more I have to warn my readers about this place! So here goes. We were at the Singapore indoor stadium... Read more →

Rocher & the Candy That Doesn’t Make You Fat

Rocher Do you love the Rocher? I sure do. Not only is the Rocher sinfully delicious, it’s actually fun to eat. Once you carefully peel open the gold foil, there are so many ways to eat this yummy piece of chocolate.

50 Things in the 80s Childhood

Being open 24/7, the cheese prata shop is a popular hangout to get late night supper. I happened to be back in NUS recently and used the rare opportunity to drop by for my favorite roti... Read more →
