Few could say that Little India isn’t the most colourful neighbourhood in Singapore! There are colourful market stalls, stunning temples and intricate murals around every corner, so while the area itself is quite small, you can easily spend hours here. The area’s most colourful attraction has to be The House of Tan Teng Niah. This building was dates back to 1900 and, as the name … Continue reading Little India
On my fourth and final day in Hong Kong, Flora and I decided to head to Shek O Beach. First, though, we couldn’t resist getting some more of my favourite French toast. This time, we also ordered some pineapple buns – sweet buns which don’t actually contain any pineapple but get their name from the spiky, pineapple-like appearance of the top half. We then made … Continue reading Hong Kong: Day 4
Despite the obscene amount of food I ate on day one and day two in Hong Kong, I woke up on day three absolutely starving and ready for an authentic Hong Kong breakfast! Hong Kong is full of cha chaan tengs, old-school restaurants serving no-frills food at no-frills prices. We headed to Lan Fong Yuen, which has been a popular haunt amongst locals since 1952, and … Continue reading Hong Kong: Day 3

These attractions can be reached via the Ngong Ping Cable Car, a 25 minute journey that takes you away from the town of Tung Chung. Before hopping on the cable car, we had a quick breakfast at The Missing Piece, where I had an … Continue reading Hong Kong: Day 2
I recently visited a good friend (hi, Flora!) in Hong Kong, and it was truly a fantastic trip. One of the cornerstones of mine and Flora’s friendship is our love of great food. I was in Hong Kong for 4 days and managed to eat more than I think I’ve ever eaten in my life! Continue reading “Hong Kong: Day 1”
I’m definitely more of a Marvel girl than a DC girl, but I absolutely love themed cafés, so I decided to check out the DC Super Heroes Café at the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. The café is attached to a DC merchandise store and, as the name suggests, is packed with all the DC references you could ever ask for! The first thing you see … Continue reading Lunch with Batman
Singapore is full of cute and quirky coffee shops, and my most recent discovery is Grids & Circles in Chinatown. As the name suggests, the café has a fresh, geometric theme. There were so many tempting treats on display (the apple crumble looked absolutely deadly), but what really caught my eye were the macarons. I had to do a double-take when I saw the white … Continue reading Say cheese!
When I’m not eating, you can probably find me walking around some gardens. I’ve always found them calming, especially when they’re located in the middle of a bustling city. I’ve loved them even more since I’ve developed a passion for photography, as there are truly endless opportunities to practise. Singapore Botanic Gardens has to be one of my favourite gardens in the world. This UNESCO … Continue reading Singapore Botanic Gardens
