Coffee Affairs @ Bishop Street, Georgetown, Penang

Before I conclude my review of our 3-night Straits of Malacca cruise onboard Princess Cruises’ Sapphire Princess, I thought I would share this little gem I found while exploring the streets of Georgetown on foot. We arrived in Penang on the 2nd day of our cruise and since it was only for a couple of […]

[Closed] The Mama Shop @ Pearl’s Hill Terrace

Update: The Mama Shop has closed w.e.f. Aug 2015. The husband and I went to Chinatown to shop for kitchenware and were about to make our way home from Pearls Centre but we couldn’t catch the CT8 bus in time which meant we had to wait for another 40 minutes for the next one. As […]

Flock Cafe @ Moh Guan Terrace (Tiong Bahru)

Flock Cafe is a family-run cafe nestled in a quiet side of Tiong Bahru that one can easily miss out on unless you’re going for the mee pok at Hua Bee (or Bincho yakitori restaurant by night) which is just next door. A modern outfit with a touch of industrial chic – natural wood & metal combined with concrete flooring – it’s […]

The Loft Cafe @ South Bridge Road (Chinatown)

Godma and I headed to Temple Street to shop for crockery and cookware at our favourite Sia Huat which took us quite a long time. That’s why I need a like-minded soul to go kitchenware shopping with me as the husband never understands why we women need so much time in a shop like this, […]

Drips Bakery Cafe @ Tiong Poh Road (Tiong Bahru)

As more and more new hipster cafe-hopping enclaves that are worth discovering & exploring are just sprouting up all over the island, Tiong Bahru seems to be less interesting than before as it is riddled with so many cafes of the same nature but… TB truly has this old school charm that is totally unparalleled. And […]

Wheeler’s Yard @ Lorong Ampas

Finally finally, I’m here at Wheeler’s Yard. Probably one of the hottest and hippiest cafes in Singapore where cafe goers will come for their selfies and #OOTD shots. Come on, just look at the number of pictures posted on instagram and see if you spot that famous structure that is so sought after. And it’s none […]

Fix Cafe @ Ah Hood Road (HomeTeamNS-JOM)

I had been looking at pictures of those tantalising donuts with salted egg yolk dip on instagram and when I showed them to the husband, his heart fluttered. Donuts + salted egg yolk. How ingenious. We made a beeline for those little morsels. Didn’t care what else was there. We just had to satisfy our craving […]

Working Title @ Arab Street

I came across Working Title a long while back but it was only recently when I was shopping around for fabrics at Arab Street that I decided to stop by for a quick brunch. The cafe is located at Shophouse The Social Hostel so it isn’t unusual to see a bunch of backpackers there with maps on hand […]

I Am Cafe @ North Bridge Road (off Haji Lane)

If you often head to Bugis especially the Haji Lane area, then you definitely would have come across this busy corner cafe off Haji Lane. I had wanted to try this on previous occasions when I was in the vicinity but I always came at the wrong time and had to give it a miss as […]

Flourish Pastries @ Tanjong Pagar Plaza

Whenever I go back to UK with the husband, one of the first things I’ll do is to head to Tesco to grab a box of my favourite Fresh Cream & Belgian Chocolate Choux Buns. Those are utterly delicious! When back in Singapore, I often lament the non-existence of a good choux bun in Singapore until a […]

Cafe hopping | Carpenter and Cook @ Lorong Kilat

After having some divine cakes at Lynn’s Cakes & Coffee @ Eng Kong Terrace, hubby and I walked to Lorong Kilat to check out our next cafe destination, Carpenter and Cook. You know, the greatest fun and joy I get from cafe hopping is to be able to appreciate every cafe like a piece of art. […]

Cafe hopping @ Everton Park : The Audacious Cakery

This was the final stop of our cafe hopping adventure at Everton Park and we decided on The Audacious Cakery as we felt a sweet ending was essential to round up the day after having some good savouries beforehand at Happy 3 Bites Cafe and Batterworks. The common thing about all the hip cafes and eateries in […]

Cafe hopping @ Everton Park : Batterworks – Best Lamb Stew Pot Pie

After having a hearty breakfast at Happy 3 Bites Cafe, my ‘PIC’ and I hopped over to Batterworks where we spent the longest time in out of the three cafes we visited at Everton Park. This cafe was such a sweet find. Clearly a hidden gem in this quiet neighbourhood. I loved its cosy ambience, […]

[Closed] Cafe hopping @ Everton Park : Happy 3 Bites Cafe

Update: This cafe is now closed. My ‘partner-in-crime’ and I dedicated a Saturday as our brainstorming day to talk about our business plans and it couldn’t have been a better time to pick a quaint and quiet area to discuss things in peace while enjoying a good cuppa with assorted bites on a lazy afternoon. And so we were here at Everton Park, […]

Dong Po Colonial Cafe @ Kandahar Street

I’m getting more and more sentimental recently. I wonder if this is all part of aging as I approach my mid-30s. Nostalgic stuffs really draw my attention these days, so does this quaint looking coffee shop with its traditional signboard. I was at Kandahar Street as I wanted to buy some swiss rolls from the […]
