Since my last visit to Dragon-i where I had a pretty satisfying dinner with the family, the husband and I had been waiting for an opportunity to come back to try its sister restaurant, Canton-i. While Dragon-i offers Shanghainese specialties like xiao long bao and la mian, Canton-i specialises in Hong Kong/Cantonese dishes like wontons, roast duck, barbecued […]
I bought one big pack of roasted ground peanuts as I wanted to make mee chiam kueh (peanut pancake) only to realise I didn’t have my handy Happycall double pan that I normally would use to make the pancake. I had passed my newly bought pan to my mum sometime back and just totally forgot […]
Baagus Place is a small casual-dining eatery located just opposite the TGV Cinemas on the 2nd floor of AEON Bukit Indah Shopping Centre. For directions on how to get to AEON Bukit Indah from JB Sentral/CIQ, check out my earlier post: How to get to AEON Bukit Indah by bus? – Johor Bahru Shuttle Bus […]
A&W, you are dearly missed. Please come back to Singapore soon. Since A&W’s exit from Singapore in 2003, I’m sure many Singaporeans like myself who had grown up with one of our favourite childhood fast food chains must be craving for its root beer floats, waffles, coney dogs and curly fries for a long time.

Update: This bus service is no longer in operation. Since I started writing about Johor Bahru shuttle bus guides, I seemed to have transformed into a walking street directory because I’ve been getting emails every other day from people asking for directions to travel around Johor Bahru especially from CIQ/JB Sentral to the shopping malls, […]
Tamarind is a wonderful fruit that’s commonly used in Asian cooking. Many might not know this but this pod-like fruit is also a great source of vitamins B & C, calcium and potassium. I like that it imparts a very unique and aromatic sweet/sour/sharp flavour to dishes that somewhat cannot be replaced by the common […]
It’s time for tea at Tart Blanc, which is a little tart specialty cafe that serves up an array of artisanal desserts/pastries (tarts, cookies & macarons), gourmet sandwiches & wraps and fresh brews of coffee/tea. A cosy space with just 10 seats, this place is perfect for that leisurely afternoon tea and/or whenever you need […]
The first time I came across the term cashback was when I was in the UK because the husband frequently made use of top UK cashback sites to make his online purchases and literally earn cash back with every transaction. When we returned to Singapore, he was quite gutted that there wasn’t a similar site […]
