The One Dish To Eat In Hong Kong – Egg Waffles (Gai Daan Jai)

by / 2 comments

Egg Waffles

If you are in Hong Kong and there’s only room left for just one more dish, you would definitely have to spend your remaining dollars and calories on Hong Kong’s most famous local street snack – Egg Waffles.

Egg waffles are also known as ‘Gai Daan Jai or Gai Daan Tsui’ in Cantonese, which literally means little eggs when translated. The snack is actually made up of numerous egg-shape waffle pieces that are conjoined together to form a honeycomb structure.

Gai Daan Jai is an extremely popular street snack amongst the locals and they can be found on almost every street and corner in Hong Kong. You certainly cannot leave Hong Kong without trying it!

The Dispensary Cafe

Updated: The Dispensary is no longer in operation.

Tea Appreciation With The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf + The Exclusive Singapore Blend Tea

by / No Comments

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (CBTL) is such a household name, one that we all grew up knowing, and one that we can find at any parts of Singapore. It is an affectionate brand that we are all familiar with, and many of us spent a good part of our teenage years studying at our favourite CBTL outlets.

We can all recite the must-order drinks – Authentic Tea Lattes and The Ultimate Ice Blended, anyone? Everyone loves them for these, but it is puzzling how their teas are not the top-of-mind items because they are The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, and that means they do their tea pretty damn well!

They sure do, and lately, we had a chance to attend a tea workshop conducted by CBTL’s master tea buyer-blender, David De Candia. It was an insightful session, and we are now converts – because CBTL has teas that are so fine, the world needs to know of them.

Also, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has specially launched an exclusive Singapore Blend Tea to celebrate Singapore’s 50th birthday. It has hits all CBTL stores in Singapore, and will be available only throughout 2015.

by / No Comments

Millenia Walk Father's Day

Everyone places emphasis on Mother’s Day, and every child goes to great lengths to express their love for the women of their lives. And while mothers are more than noble, we must not forget the man of the family – Fathers.

With Father’s Day round the corner, should we all also set aside some time to pamper our dads and to remind them of how much we love them? Sure, Dad may not be a fan of shopping, but we would like to think that he just needs to be brought to the right shops and he would be happy as a lark.

With Millenia Walk being the top-of-mind choice for shopping, delectable dining choices and quality home products, why not bring Dad there for a day of pampering? It won’t be just shopping, because the way to a man’s heart is through his tummy, yes? Eat your day away, shop a little, and it will put a smile on Dad’s face.

We went on a hunt and sussed out many great options that fathers will love. Here is how to spend a day at Millenia Walk to pamper Dad this Father’s Day:
