Mesmerising Jewel!
Singapore has a new attraction. And it’s one that excites Singaporeans across the nation. So much as that an estimated half a million people squeezed into Jewel Changi Airport for a preview earlier this month. When my turn came two Saturdays ago, I decided to avoid the Jewel car park and park at Terminal 3…

Embark on The Rubylicious Adventure
What is The Rubylicious Adventure? It’s not quite Charlie and the chocolate factory but it does entail a tour, a very interesting and lip smacking one at that. The tour is to a series of food and beverage (F&B) establishments that have innovative creations based on ruby chocolate — the fourth chocolate in the world,…

A new chocolate is coming
The mysterious box was part of a media kit sent out this week. “Feel the Spark”, it said. Wonder what is that spark? When opened, there was a huge piece of chocolate — pink and shaped like a ruby. The taste is unlike any chocolate that we’ve tried before. It certainly doesn’t taste like milk,…

Hai Di Lao: Sizzling hotpot experience
Dinner at 海底捞 (Hai Di Lao) was on our must-do list while in Shanghai. And we wasted no time because that was where we headed immediately after we checked in to our hotel. After a check with the concierge on the nearest outlet, we were on our way to the Nanjing East Road restaurant. For…

A Pepsi collectible for generations
I’m not one for collecting canned drinks because the cans can corrode and leak over time. But, a routine supermarket run to Giant yielded a box of Pepsi can drinks that I simply cannot resist. The box shouted “Limited Edition Retro Cans” and “Celebrating Every Generation”. Inside were four cans of Pepsi from across generations…

Coriander Leaf: Something old, something new
Nasi lemak is a Malay dish that is a staple not just for breakfast but lunch and dinner. You can find pre-packed or a la carte nasi lemak in practically all parts of Singapore. I grew up on the pre-packed version comprising coconut rice, ikan bilis (anchovies) or small fish, and a slice of egg topped…
