After closing its two franchise outlets here and being briefly absent from the Singapore restaurant scene, the Swiss chain of Marché restaurants is back! It has returned with a spanking new restaurant at VivoCity and a second outlet at 313@Somerset. Unlike before when it was run by a local franchisee,...
Do you like toast? I happen to love it! Toast ranks right next to waffles and pancakes as one of my favourite snacks. With the commonest ingredients and a toaster (or charcoal), you can easily whip up some toast and it doesn’t even take much time. More importantly, it is...
Lately, I’ve been paying many visits to Bakerzin. The seafood pasta had me hooked from the very first bite and since then, I couldn’t help craving for it! I have been encouraged to go for the desserts too, more specifically their best-selling warm chocolate cake. Mind you, this ain’t just...
St James Power Station is the clubbing hotspots in town. It has been refurbished from an old power station. And that’s not all. This power station is also Singapore’s first coal-powered power plant and was built in 1927! That’s quite a bit of history isn’t it? Located at the Sentosa...

With its wave-like architecture and all, VivoCity is a shopping mall that has a one-of-a-kind look. It being Singapore’s largest mall, naturally its flagship Christmas tree has to be just as unique and majestic, deviating from the usual green or white trees. Decked out in silver and various hues of...
This is today’s Tree of the Day! Decorated and almost fully covered with stuffed bears, this is one tree that puts the Mini-tree we have to shame. The huge tree was spotted at Harbourfront Centre in its wholesome beary glory, with a pretty gold bow on top. For more Christmas...
Not long after getting off the plane, I was already on board another huge craft. This time it’s the world’s oldest active passenger ship, the doulos, which is even older than the titanic! It docked at the VivoCity promenade in Singapore two weeks ago and I had the opportunity to...
