Delicious crispy roast duck and barbecued pork with honey sauce. You know, Scotts Square is yet another place that makes my wallet and credit cards shiver. Lots of posh brands and upmarket goods. The residents living in this luxury development have Hermes at their doorstep. I don't even have a mamak shop at the bottom of my block. But there's the familiar Cantonese comfort …
Happy birthday, Jolie! You can now say you are four years old. She is growing up really fast.

Who shall reign supreme on the commute? We test the AKG Quincy Jones Q460 headphones. Which Omy.sg is giving out to three lucky winners in the special voting contest! Yeah, that's me there in my yellow Scoot shirt. Do take a look at what the bloggers have written and vote your favourite. Some of them are very enlightening. So anyway, we continue with the AKG headphone …
Warning: Please do not try these earphones, unless you want to ruin listening enjoyment with other earphones. I am trying to erase the magic and go back to my regular earbuds. These are da bomb - these S$1,599 AKG K3003 earphones, which omy.sg and AKG introduced to a group of bloggers (I only know about earphones because of hubby who plays and writes music, otherwise would be …

White truffles from Alba are in season, and if you haven't tried any, you should soon as the season is ending. Executive Chef Alessandro Delfanti of il Lido is presenting Italian classics made decadent by the lavish pairing with white truffles. Each of these comes with 3g of shaved …
