Pinoy in Singapore

I was introduced to Photofrenz.com through one of those regular IT fairs at Suntec last year when we bought a wireless router from Linksys. It came with free credits if you sign up for Photofrenz.
I used my credits to create a Travel book for our recent trip to Italy. Here’s what I think [...]

I recently upgraded my Sony Ericsson K610i to the LG Secret K750.  I’m not really the type who needs to have the latest phone on hand but our phone package allowed us to upgrade phones every year which we didn’t do last year and hubby thinks we’re losing out.  (Yeah, we’re suckers for marketing schemes [...]

Yesterday, while strolling through Suntec City, we chanced upon a sale of different items at the lobby in front of Carrefour.  Among other things, we saw a Cornell Microwave oven selling for S$80 which still doesn’t beat the price of the (Bluesky) microwave oven we bought at Carrefour for just S$50 (with 5% rebate if [...]

Yesterday, Mr. Tsiken and I tried Canele’ Patisserie Chocolaterie at the Shaw Centre on Scotts Road (beside Mc Donald’s.)  For those from Manila, their menu kinda reminds me of Bizu specially with all those appetizingly pretty cakes on display.
I’d say the price is on the expensive end of the reasonable spectrum.  Expensive side because until [...]

Mr. Tsiken and I love sashimi so we are always on the lookout for good Japanese buffets.  A few weeks back we tried out Kuishin Bo Restaurant at 3 Temasek Blvd, Suntec City Tower 1, #03-002.  It’s beside the Turkish Cuisine Restaurant (which is also good) on the floor above Harry’s bookstore.
We wanted to try [...]

For Nike Golf fans like hubby, there’s a new Nike Golf store in Kaki Bukit – and it’s quite big.  They have more selections and they also carry the Tiger Woods Platinum and the Nike Junior line.
What’s even better is that they have an in-store virtual golf swing simulator/analyzer so customers can try out the [...]

For my birthday, we had buffet dinner at the Greenhouse in Ritz Carlton.
What made me decide to have dinner there was it was the restaurant with the highest overall rating that had multiple reviews from HungryGoWhere.com.
It was my first time there and here’s my first impression of the place.

Yesterday, I was planning on cooking pumpkin soup for dinner but pumpkin soup needs to be simmered for some time so that the pumpkin would be soft enough to puree. At the same time I had to go back to the mall and have the shirts I recently bought for my dad changed to [...]

In my previous entry,  I wrote about my apprehensions on wealth seminars like the Think Rich Pinoy seminar.  As I said, I wanted to attend but I wasn’t sure if it was worth the S$200.00 registration fee.  Luckily, I discovered that the same seminar is going to be held on the weekend that I was going [...]

Yesterday, after watching Beowulf, we decided to eat somewhere at Orchard road. I wanted something that was not fast food so we walked along orchard looking for somewhere to eat. To make a long story short we ended up at Family International Buffet Restaurant, #05-30, Ngee Ann City. I’ve always been curious [...]

Last week, Mr. Tsiken and I tried Pepper Lunch  twice.  Once at Takashimaya and the other time at Dhoby Gaut Exchange.  I heard that a restaurant with a very similar concept just opened in Trinoma and the actual Pepper Lunch franchise is also coming to Manila. 
I liked the concept of a DIY steak fast food.  Since they serve [...]

It’s funny how people get curious when they see long lines for something.  They start hovering around the crowd and try to see what’s the fuss about.  This is how we found out about the fried prawn mee at the Food Rebuplic at the top floor of Wisma Atria on Orchard Rd.
