We all know that Singapore Sling was concocted in Long Bar, Raffles Hotel. A trip to Singapore isn’t complete until you have tried this cocktail. Rumour has it that no two Singapore Slings taste the same, so apart from its birthplace, check out these ones too! Poolside Bar, Marina Bay Sands Hands down, this the…
The title of this post could be The WORST Donuts, or KLIA Sucks, or Unfriendly Customer Service Officer, or Dirty Airline, but let’s start on a positive note, shall we? KLIA Sucks would be perfect though. Inevitably, flying with Malaysian Airlines means there’s a transit in Kuala Lumpur. After an hour of flight, we arrived in…
Got the chance to visit Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped (SAVH) to enjoy one of their programmes – Dining in the Dark. It is indeed a unique experience! Before the session begins, one of the servers briefed us on the position of our utensils. Some of my us wore ponchos to protect ourselves from…
Who wants to be a Drama Queen when you can be the other ‘D’ Queen – DURIAN QUEEN. As much as I’m trying not to sound narcissistic, I have to admit that I’m a soi-disant Durian Queen. To prove my worthiness of the title: Buying durians when I chance upon them The last to leave durian…
Okay, okay I’ve not been to EVERY country; maybe not the world’s but Bali’s freshest seafood. Why did the crabs cross the road? Because they are fresh. As a seafood lover who has seafood allergy (yes, sucks for me), I am a little concerned with what I put in my mouth. Or not. Well… Sometimes.…

They come in sets – coffee or tea, toasts (you choose the spread), and soft-boiled eggs. You can find these breakfast sets in kopitiam (hawker…
It’s Love’s birthday today and the norm is for us to have dinner. Months before this trip, I told Rahman (got acquainted with him during my first trip to Bali back in 2009) of my plans and so he brought us here. In 2009, I had dinner in another restaurant, Menaga Cafe. One of the…
Hey everyone! You might or might not know this, but Singapore is truly a garden city. We are clean and green too. It’s a norm for me to ask people, what do they know of Singapore, these are the top 2 things – ‘F1 race’ and ‘clean’. Yes, we are so clean that neighbouring countries…
I’m going to keep this sweet and simple. I’ll try… When I was 17 I wrote birthday letters to myself, for me to read when the clock strikes midnight; for every year, until my 25th birthday. Yes, this year is the last time that I’ll be receiving letters from he 17-year-old Lela. I shall elaborate about…
It’s a norm for my house to have a basket of the ‘usual’ fruits such as apples, pears, oranges and bananas. They are in the basket every other day. Sometimes, we would have special fruits which include kiwi, papaya, jackfruit, mangosteen, dragonfruit, durian, etc. Yes, you may not have heard of some of these fruits,…
