Shy ladies (and gentlemen), this post may not be for you. It’s about the beautiful Yunomori Onsen & Spa, turning 42 and getting naked. Yes, people, this is about my very first foray into public nudity at an onsen. So, if you’re a tad shy about these things (like I was) and...

The Hangar on Arab Street was suggested by a friend and frequent coffee buddy after she chanced upon it while buying ribbons (just across the street at Kin Soon Pte Ltd). She, whom I shall call the Gorgeous S, has since moved to the UK and I miss our meet ups...

Brawn & Brains has been my solace for months now. After dearest husband moved out west for work, I’ve been doing the drive to drop him off and then stopping by at Brawn & Brains on my way home for Latte and a Finnish Pulla (cinnamon roll). It’s my place...

Ever since I went to Sailor’s Thai in Sydney over 10 years ago where we were served beef carpaccio in a form of yum (thai beef salad). I remember then thinking how non-traditional it seemed (I usually have it with grilled beef) but how absolutely delicious it was. I then went to Nahm...

I’m dying to go back and try their coffee and brunch, but on the evening that we went, we were there for dinner with friends (without all our kids in tow – hooray!). Being one of the restaurants in the Eat Singapore Book was also a bonus. (I’ve been to 3 now, 9 to go!)...
