Pandesal in Singapore: Panrizal Tinapay Therapy
A friend posted an Instagram story recently and it featured a box of pandesal. My friend is also in Singapore and it caught my attention. “Where did you order that?!” A few days later I’m happily welcoming a box of pandesal and cheese bread at my doorstep. I also ordered a set of ensaymadas. It’s […]

Revisiting Yishun’s Northpoint in 2021
The pandemic has kept most of us from travelling overseas for leisure. What’s the next best thing to do? Go visit a shopping mall in Yishun. I used to live in Yishun. It was one of my first neighbourhoods in Singapore. Back then, the neighborhood shopping mall was a simple building with an L-shaped layout. […]

Preparing for this marathon
I think we are going to live with this virus for the next few years. Businesses and travel might resume in the next few months. More people might get vaccinated. But I think it makes sense to start planning for the long term. It’s going to be like this for the immediate future. We will […]

Unli-Rice at Orchard Road: The RiceTable Indonesian Restaurant
PJ is a rice lover. Often what we both want for lunch (or dinner) is different. I want my salads, pasta, and proteins. He wants anything else as long as it has rice. On his birthday, I wanted to take him to a restaurant that specialises not in rice… but in what goes great with […]

Our housemates prepared a noche buena spread of some classic Filipino dishes like lumpia, extra tender Bistek Tagalog, slices of Christmas ham, menudo, and juicy Bellychon (with lemongrass filling). PJ has a video demonstration of how housemate D […]

So, we’ve reached the end of the year
The coronavirus will not expire on 31st December. But I bet we wish it could. I’m comfortable. I’m working from home. I can exercise from home. I can order lunch and dinner to be brought to my doorstep. I can press a few buttons to have groceries delivered. I can chat with friends and loved […]

My November 2020 Photo Recap
A pandemic continues to grip the world. This was my third month in our new house in Pasir Ris. Home is where everything is right now. Meals, workouts, and work. I have no plans to change any of that until this pandemic is over. The past month also saw some triumphs. Biden beat Trump and […]

iPhone 12 unboxing… while drinking soju
Gaaah. I filmed this a month ago. But I only got to editing it over the weekend. I’ve had an iPhone 7 since 2016… so getting an upgrade in 2020 is WORTH IT. Face ID? Charging without a cord? Portrait mode that WORKS? Those are no longer strange and foreign concepts for me. Lol. Enjoy […]

Monthsary Location: The Sushi Bar at TAmpines 1
PJ and I celebrated our monthsary at The Sushi Bar (Tampines 1). I made reservations by sending them an SMS a few days back. I was excited to take PJ for a sushi restaurant experience (compared to our usual conveyor belt sushi). Plus, The Sushi Bar is only one MRT station away. The restaurant covers […]
