While most people are stocking up their pantries with Chinese New Year tidbits and goodies, I’m stocking up mine with an assortment of nuts and seeds. After my recent visits to Victoria Wholesale Centre and Albert Centre Wholesale Market, I’m now into this (go) nuts shopping frenzy that I’m sure any chipmunk or squirrel would […]

When I heard that there was a wholesale market on the third level of the Albert Centre Market and Food Centre, I felt really gutted for not knowing about it earlier. I had been to this part of Bugis umpteen times and often had meals in the vicinity too but yet I didn’t know a […]

I was going to Geylang from Lavender and thought I’d stop by the Victoria Wholesale Centre on the way just to check out what the place was like. This was my first visit since the wholesale centre moved from Bugis to here 3 years ago. Most of us would be familiar with the Victoria Wholesale Centre […]

Update: Big Box has ceased operations. Following the success of Singapore’s first retail park at Tampines where Ikea, Giant and Courts are situated and barely weeks after the opening of NTUC FairPrice’s Warehouse Club @ Joo Koon, here comes Big Box, a lifestyle retail mail that has opened for business since Saturday. Located just next to […]

Three weeks ago, NTUC FairPrice opened its Warehouse Club which is Singapore’s first membership-based retail warehouse for fresh & frozen food, groceries, household products and general merchandise. The mega warehouse occupies Levels 2 & 3 of the FairPrice Hub and spans over 80,000 square feet with an impressive product range of more than 4,000 items. It is […]

Update 07/2016: This outlet has ceased operation. Please visit Fassler Gourmet at its main branch at Woodlands Terrace. Some of you are probably familiar with Fassler Gourmet, the salmon factory at Woodlands Terrace by now. For those who still haven’t been there or heard about it, do check out my Food Factory Outlet Shopping at […]

Continued from A Walk in the Chinese Garden & Japanese Garden (Part 1 of 2). Something new in the Chinese Garden is this 2CG Jurong which is a community garden project launched in November 2013. It aims to engage senior citizens to stay physically, mentally and socially active and healthy through gardening. This garden comprises of 4 […]

I remembered when I was a little girl growing up in the 80s, my family and I would visit the Chinese Garden (裕华园) on Mid-Autumn Festival to see the many majestic lanterns on display. Huge ones of mythical characters and dainty ones of Chinese folklore. Spectacular colourful lights that looked magical at night. It wasn’t just about taking […]

The Jurong Eco-Garden (JEG) is Singapore’s first freshwater swamp forest located within an industrial park. It opened in June this year and provided the much needed lush greenery for those working and/or living in the area to come by for bird-watching, spot wildlife, take a leisurely stroll and just enjoy nature’s own glory. Those who […]

As mentioned in my earlier post (Food Factory Outlet Shopping at Woodlands Terrace: Zac Meat & Poultry and Melvados), I had ventured into Blk 15 Woodlands Loop for the first time just to see what was there. This building houses the central kitchens for various caterers and food establishments and it doesn’t have a very […]

Since my last shopping trip at Woodlands Terrace (read my earlier blog post Food Factory Outlet Shopping at Woodlands Terrace: Fassler Gourmet and Zac Meat & Poultry) where I also bought some spices and rubs from Zac Meat & Poultry, I had intended to come back again for its meats as I recalled the prices of […]

I haven’t been going to the gym for two weeks now just so I can rest and recover from my recent bout of flu. And even though I’ve been eating normally (probably more as I tend to eat a lot when I’m sick, weird I know lol), my weight has more or less remained the same […]

– Sponsored Review – South Korea’s first and original 3D illusionary entertainment attraction is now in Singapore! If you’re looking for something new and fun to see or do on weekends, this is definitely the place to explore with family or friends 🙂 Just make sure you come with your camera and/or phone all fully charged up as you’d be snapping […]

I was invited to a media event last week at Jurong Point together with other bloggers and media friends to tour their latest addition to the mall which is a themed-destination concept “Mongkok” that replicates the bustling streets and markets of Hong Kong. From now till 31 August 2014, there’d be buskers’ performances, roving acts, on-the-spot games and […]

The first time I came to Labrador was back in 2007 when I was running a social event for an international congress at Villa Seafood Galleria on Labrador Villa Road. I remembered Labrador was such an inaccessible area as there wasn’t any MRT then and it was also a place that was quite unheard of in Singapore. […]

Woohoo! It’s always a joy to shop at Daiso so I can embrace a huge array of colourful and cute-looking kitchen tools and accessories that I just can’t have enough in my kitchen. The husband had recently commented that our house was looking a little cluttered, oops. Daiso really reminds me of the similar pound shops in […]
