We decided to try the newly opened Butao Ramen at Changi City Point last week. While queuing, we excitedly looked at the menu: When we finally got seated, we already knew what to order. I had the tonkotsu yakibuta ramen because it’s not common. I had the black soup which is supposed to be garlicky […]
Nirwana Resort @ Bintan, Indonesia {Deetour}
Thankfully, my friend Arlyn was on board with my idea of taking a relaxing short trip on my birthday, so the morning of last Friday found us at the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to take a ferry to Bintan, Indonesia. We had booked a 2D1N package in Nirwana Resort Hotel through WeekendGoWhere.Sg. The package included […]
Birthday Surprise from My Team
Two days before my birthday, I got a call from our office receptionist that I had a delivery. I jumped up before realizing – wait a minute, I didn’t order anything. When I reached the reception area, I was handed a bouquet of fresh flowers from Enchanted Tree. I was so elated because flowers are […]
Breakfast at Tiffany’s in Tiong Bahru Bakery
Over the weekend, Tiffany’s collaborated with Tiong Bahru Bakery to make Breakfast at Tiffany’s a reality. They set up a booth outside Ion Orchard to give out free coffee in cute Tiffany blue cups and their signature croissants in exchange for social media posts. But I didn’t want to go to Orchard on a Sunday […]
Horsey Birthday
It is Jemma’s birthday today. She is overseas at the moment so I advanced her birthday surprise last Friday at the office. Look how big that unicorn is! 🦄 This is perfect for her because (1) “Ma” means “horse” in Mandarin and it’s part of her name and (2) her expression is “ay kabayo” which […]
10 Years Anniversary in Singapore
I first set foot on Singapore soil on August 23, 2008. That was 10 years ago! How crazy is that? Probably not as crazy as Crazy Rich Asians, which Jemma and I watched the day after my anniversary – the perfect way to celebrate it. It was really nice to see Singapore in a Hollywood […]
Pinto Art Museum @ Antipolo City {A Photo Story}
A couple of weeks ago, I was in the Philippines when my friend Chi brought me to check out the Instagram-worthy Pinto Art Museum near her house in Antipolo. I wasn’t prepared for what a photogenic location it was. I mean, look at it! Doesn’t it look like Santorini? Or as Chi put it, Santipolo! […]
Philippine Reunions 2018
While in Manila, I met up with different sets of friends from KPMG, P&G, high school and college. The KPMG Way Mhiles, Boss Ed, and Donna were my first ever colleagues in Manila when I started my first job back in 2004. We met up at Lorenzo’s Way in Greenbelt 5 and had some delicious […]
Meeting the Parents in Manila 2018
I met my parents in Manila after they flew in from their US vacation where they visited my brother and helped take care of my nephew. We stayed in BSA Tower Hotel which was my choice for its affordable rates and great location right in front of Greenbelt 5. I used to live in Makati […]
Armar’s SG Layover @ Din Tai Fung and Awfully Chocolate
Armar had a 9 hour layover in Singapore so we met up with him in his choice of restaurants – Din Tai Fung (Parkway Parade) for lunch followed by dessert in Awfully Chocolate’s Nine Thirty cafe. We ordered a lot of fried rice and dimsum in Din Tai Fung. As I looked at the shrimp-filled […]
