When I was planning my trip to Europe last year, I told myself that London must be included in the itinerary. Which is strange because London has never been one of the must-go cities for me. I guess it is partly because of my friends. Many of them are frequent visitors to London, and they have nothing but good things to say about the city.
London is indeed a stunning city. I don’t think I’ll ever love it like how I love Paris, or Barcelona, but I definitely want to come back again to learn more about her.
Regrettably, my stay in London was short, and I didn’t manage to try everything on my list of must-go places. I guess that’s my excuse for going back to London again! Anyway, here are some of the shots that I took, hope you like them!
While we enjoy having afternoon tea, the truth is that nobody can afford to splurge on expensive high teas at posh hotels all the time.
I hope this list of Affordable Afternoon Tea Places under S$15 will be useful when you are looking for a nice place to go with your friends for a cup of tea and dessert; or a quiet corner to read a good book while having a cup of coffee.
The giveaway is now closed. Thank you for participating. The winners are #550, #3, and #399. I will be contacting you via email to let you know how to collect the Palate Membership.
Palate Membership is a dining card which allows members to benefit from dining privileges of up to 50% discount at over 40 restaurants island-wide, as well as a list of trendy bars.
It sounds a little too good to be true, but I’ve tested it, and yes, it really offers you 50% off for 2 (35% for 3 persons, 25% for 4 persons) at restaurants like Anar, Bodega Y Tapas, Brasserie Wolf, Da Paolo Bistro Bar, Fremantle Seafood Market, il Lido, OChre, Keystone Restaurant, Roast, Shin Yeh, and Tung Lok.
So here’s the good news. I’m partnering Palate Singapore to give away THREE Palate Membership (worth SGD$428/annum). All you need to do is to answer a question by leaving a comment.

If you truly love someone, every day should be like Valentine’s Day.
It’s great to be in love, there are so many sweet things that you can do with your partner: surprise her with a candlelight dinner during a weekend; snuggle in bed on a cold rainy day; send silly messages to each other throughout the day; buy a flower for her even though there’s no special occasion.
Guys, you do not need a reason to be romantic. You should always do things to make her feel special; she is, after-all the most important person in your life. Everyone likes list posts, so here are some romantic ideas/things to do with your partner.
My friends always ask me for suggestions of gift ideas for their boyfriends. Since Valentine’s Day is just next week, I thought it would be fun to share some ideas on presents to get for guys.
Contrary to popular belief, getting presents for men is not that difficult; you just need to know what his hobbies are. Guys love gadgets, or at least, most guys do. Just go along that line and you’ll be fine. If not, you can always bring him to go shopping for a wardrobe overhaul. (Just make sure you promise not to walk into the female section.)
Here’s a list of Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Men.
