Spotlight: PizItalia @ East Coast Beach

Jan 31, 2012 No Comments by

When we got an invitation to PizItalia @ East Coast Beach, I could not help but think the restaurant looked like a lost tourist in Chinatown – an Italian restaurant in a sea of local seafood favourites.

Jan 29, 2012 2 Comments by

On a continuation of my escapism streak, a friend convinced me that the long distance from our big sunny island to the equally sunny, smaller island of Sentosa would be worth it. No, I wasn’t going to go Airplane mode ‘on’ and bake at the busy beaches; I was in search of a serene place [...]

Review: The Bark Café @ Upper Changi

Jan 18, 2012 2 Comments

As much as it sounds like a place for dogs, The Bark Café definitely does not serve up chow for your mutt.
