Desaru Coast? Where’s that?
My first thought on hearing about Desaru Coast was “has Desaru changed its name?” It’s been many years since I last went there so perhaps I was a little out of date. Turns out that Desaru Coast is a newly developed part of Desaru. It’s a premium integrated destination with a blend of renowned resorts and…

Top End chicken rice a contender for best Down Under
Born and bred in Singapore, I have a biase when it comes to chicken rice, or food for that matter. I’ve yet to taste a chicken rice outside the country, aside from Malaysia, that is good enough for me. Even those recommended by well-thinking friends in their home countries have fallen short. I’ve tried chicken…

A SunnyHills pineapple cake convert
Along with the upcoming Chinese New Year comes a slew of must-have goodies to celebrate the occasion. Having so many snacks can make decision making tough. I used to face this dilemma until a few years ago when I decided to narrow down the goodies to just a few — mandarin orange, bak kwa (hopefully…

Airbnb surprises
Travelling has not been the same for me and my family since the advent of Airbnb in 2008.

Cremia ice cream on my mind
Ever had a taste that lingers on your tongue and mind long after you’ve eaten something? For me, it was the memory of a creamy ice cream that I ate in Osaka in December 2017. Though a year has past, the thought of that smooth, rich Creamia ice cream that I bit into on a…

Shanghai Disneyland: Magical and most memorable
The main reason for our December holiday to Shanghai was to visit Disneyland. It’s the final stop in our family’s Disney adventure that started with Disneyland Paris in 1999. Dubbed “The Happiest Place on Earth”, Disneyland has never ceased to amaze us with each visit — to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Orlando, and Anaheim. The atmosphere…

Zoku stainless steel bottle keeps fluids at the right temperature
Water bottles. I’ve an affinity with them since I was a child. Plastic, glass, metal, hybrid, you name it, I’ve got it. In fact, the reason I have so many is because I have the tendency to lose them while young. Some were lost when I left them behind in a football field or volleyball…

Wonderboom: Small body, big sound
How many speakers does a person need? How about one more? With a couple of Google Home speakers in my home, I wasn’t really in need of another speaker but the Wonderboom changed my mind. Yes, it doesn’t have the smart capabilities of a Google Home. It can’t receive verbal instructions. But, it’s sound does…

Pendulumic Tact T1: A wireless wonder
Pendulumic? Who’s that? What’s that? That was what went through my mind when I first heard of the brand Pendulumic. I had absolutely no clue what it is or does. And my daughter was getting one because of a fire sale. She too didn’t know much about it other than the fact that the wireless…
