Although I’ve passed by Cafe Iguana @ Riverside Point a couple of times, it has never occurred to me that they were a Mexican restaurant and bar until I dined in at their Greenwood Avenue branch on my birthday!
Greenwood Avenue is located behind National Junior College (along Bukit Timah Road). There are several cosy restaurants [...]

2 years in SMU and I have yet to step into Timbre @ The Substation…how ironic is that!
I finally got my chance to pay this popular chill-out spot a visit when the bowling team decided to hold our gathering there.

I like the idea of chilling out in the middle of trees and greenery. Gets my mind [...]

And yes, I was just saying in the previous posts I have a childhood friend, Genevis, who has a boyfriend, Twain, who doesn’t like cakes (hence we opted for Don’s Shepherd’s Pie for his birthday cake, and had Four Seasons Catering for his surprise party). Anyway, this is a picture of Twain:-

Judging from his muscular [...]

Besides entrusting me with the mission to get a “cake” for a non-cake-lover-birthday-boy(read the post on Don Pie), Queen Genevis also tasked the poor little peasant here to get food for all her Royal fellowmen, omg, can you guys imagine the amount of pressure should the food not turn out to be nice?
SO, for Twain’s [...]

My childhood friend, Genevis, has entrusted me with the job of throwing her boyfriend, Twain, a surprise 21st Birthday Party – and an even more challenging task – getting a “cake” when her boyfriend hates one!
So obviously, forget about introducing me those famous cake brands because nothing can change his mind, so while Gen and [...]

I have another Junior College friend who celebrated way back in February, but what made the party really special is that it’s a surprise party planned by her sister whom she deeply adores and respects, and seriously her sis has a really creative mind man..

While searching for a place to dine at VivoCity, we came across Serenity, a Spanish bar and restaurant. The design of the restaurant was really eye-catching from the outside.

Somehow the purple spotlight and the white setting of the restaurant gives the it a right balance of warm and cool effect. Also, I love the high ceiling of the [...]
