Sarnies @ Telok Ayer Street (Sugar)

Telok Ayer, with its smattering of heritage sites and converted shophouses, presents itself as a neighbourhood of hidden gems – quiet and unassuming, yet filled with pleasant surprises for those who venture there.

Last weekend, as part of my review for Sugar, I embarked on my own journey into this quaint part of town – right into the fabled grounds of Sarnies. A brother and sister venture from Down Under, the cafe prides itself on its healthy, wholesome offerings alongside a blend of classic coffees and off-the-menu concoctions, so my expectations were high. 😉

Hello Hokkaido! Ishiya Chocolate Factory & Shiroi Koibito Park

When you live in the tropics, there’s not much you can glean off the supposed winter season that graces other continents. You can, however, experience the cold winds of the monsoon season come December – what we fondly refer to as sweater weather. 😉

For me, sweater weather ignites a particular (okay, year-long) craving…for the comforting taste of chocolate! So today’s post is a little throwback to one of my absolute favourite place to visit in Hokkaido, Ishiya Chocolate Factory. 🙂

[MOVED] Kith Cafe @ Park Mall

Update 20 Jan 2025: Kith Cafe has closed at Park Mall. Visit their other outlets. 

Tucked away in a relatively quiet part of Dhoby Ghaut at Park Mall, Kith Cafe is one of those places I’ve been hearing rave reviews about, but have always put off paying it a visit. Well last weekend brought a sudden downpour, which made Kith an ideal place to brunch at since it was too troublesome to explore other options in view of the weather.

Chock Full Of Beans @ Changi Village

If you’ve found your Instagram feed flooded with pictures of eye-catching 2D and 3D latte art, you’ve Chock Full of Beans partly to thank for it. Opened a couple of years back, the cafe has recently gained a following for its adorable, edible artistry.

Tucked away in a corner of Changi Village, CFOB presents itself as a rustic haven away from the hustle and bustle of the city on the east side of Singapore. It is a relatively small cafe, with most diners seated in a shady alfresco area littered with wooden furniture and a long high table for larger groups – or if you, like me, like to perch somewhere high up while doing a little reading and writing over a cuppa. 😉

With much of the hype centred around its latte art, I’ll skip that and tell you about Chock Full of Beans’ other beverage selections – which are equally enticing and picture-worthy! 😛

Fourplay @ Domino’s Pizza (Invite)

Anyone who’s ever tried ordering a pizza would know that the number one pain behind it is deciding what flavour to get. It’s hard to imagine one of the world’s favourite fast food having a downside (aside from an obscene amount of calories), but there you go: like Team Edward and Team Jacob, or Donald Trump and Russell Brand, there is just no way of uniting the culinary world over a one-flavour-satisfies-all-cravings mindset.

Thankfully, with its Half and Half Pizza, the good people at Domino’s has made it possible for you to enjoy two toppings on a single crust! And – get this – no surcharge whatsoever if you choose to have it that way! Because why should anyone be made to pay extra for wanting to experiment with over 300 possible combinations on a pizza crust, amirite? 😀

Rurouni Kenshin Kyoto Inferno / The Legend Ends By The Numbers

Keishi Ohtomo’s live action adaptation of Rurouni Kenshin‘s explosive Kyoto Arc has brought several Japanese actors *cough*Takeru Satoh*cough* to the international limelight and revitalised both the work of Nobuhiro Watsuki and the samurai movie genre. If you’re observant enough (or seen it at least five times over like me), you’d have noticed a couple of things in both films.

(Ok, I lied.)

SPOILER ALERT! Read at your own risk:
