Post xmas - The Ooga's finally made it on a holiday together. If you're wondering what 'Ooga' is, it's a nickname that we gave the five of us during our secondary school days. I know, it is rather lame, there's no meaning to it either. We took a coach there...which might not have been the best idea because the ride back and forth was so long. Check out Alyssa's leg and my …

My second time to the vibrant city of Shanghai! I prefer Shanghai in the night when the city looks more awake and there are less people around. Im not good with crowds. This time around all I did was eat and shop, shop and eat. Good thing we had Jesse to show us around and bring us to the famous restaurants. Famous goose at Lao Beijing.

The Little Drom Store, I LOVE THIS PLACE. Found this book at the store and it was illustrated and made for people of my age. Flip through this book if you have the chance and you'll see what I mean! It brought back so many memories of primary and secondary school days. Cake at Kki - it was a white chocolate and mango with candid ginger on top. Ended the night with …

Had date with Amelia over the weekend and we decided to head to White Rabbit at Dempsey. Have been wanting to go there for dinner for a while now, mainly because of the location. White Rabbit was an old church which of course is now a restaurant. I ordered the quail with foie gras, mushroom duxelle, roasted asparagus and morel sauce. Amelia got the 48-hour Braised Short …
