A night of favorites: Italian food, sangria, and 2 of my best girls. Ingrid was back in Singapore for the weekend and us girls badly needed to catch up. We headed to the Boat Quay area to have dinner and drinks and there we found this gem of an italian restaurant – L’Operatta. They serve…
One of the things I miss about life pre-Singapore was having chill days wherein my agenda was pretty much empty except for maybe one or two quick errands. Nowadays, it’s impossible for me to have one given my limited number of leaves and my constant desire to travel. I’m glad I was able to have…
I looove steak. If I had to choose just one favorite food (not cuisine!) in the whole entire world, it has got to be steak. So when I saw a Groupon deal for Outback Steakhouse, I didn’t hesitate clicking on “Buy now!”. I guess I should’ve asked for second opinion because as soon as I told my…
Happy Sunday everyone! For the common man, Sundays have always been ideal for lazing around and sleeping in. I am one of those people who turn into lazy bears on Sundays. Good thing for brunch or else I wouldn’t leave the bed at all! If you’re like me and you need a bit of inspiration…
{wearing: jumpsuit from Bali} I didn’t get it at first, the way Singapore, being a small island and all, could rouse strong feelings within its inhabitants about residing in the east or the west. It’s not like the United States where time zones separate the two coasts but after some time (and perhaps some brain…
I have a ton of backlog entries pending but I’ll interrupt my own scheduled programming to share with you guys my wonderful experience at To-gather Cafe in Bedok. It’s too good not to blog right away! That isn’t to say that the others aren’t as good (they are!) but go through this entry and you’ll…
I have a love/hate relationship with brunch. For one thing, I’m a sucker for the sweet and savoury menu that restaurants offer during this designated hour. It’s almost always all my favorite things in a plate! However, establishments tend to capitalize on this wonderful delicious meal that they end up jacking the prices. Hence, it’s…
{wearing: dress from Bugis, skirt from southaven, heels from people are people} As if dressing up for a date isn’t hard enough, imagine it’s your anniversary and your boyfriend has seen pretty much your entire wardrobe coz you’ve spent literally 340 out of the 365 days together in the past year. How to impress your…
I used to joke about wanting to marry a half-Italian half-Japanese man who loves to cook so I can eat yummy traditional Italian/Japanese food all day everyday. Yep, I love these two cuisines that much. I’ve long since given up that dream (good bye volumes of family recipes, *tear*) but I’ve come to the conclusion…
{wearing: trf jacket, cotton on romper, far east sandals} I know quiet mornings and Starbucks doesn’t quite go hand in hand but I kid you not when I say that’s what I just had today. I spent a good two hours chilling at the plush chairs of Starbucks Reserve in Resorts World Singapore, savouring my…
Is it blasphemous that I think local pizzeria PEPERONI serves the best pizza islandwide? I would honestly choose pizza from here any day every day over celebrity chef restaurant Mozza or even, dare I say it, Skinny Pizza (with all its yummy truffle goodness). Don’t get me wrong, I love pizza. I love pizza in all…
