The Romantic Ambience I’ve been here a couple of times here and I’m still as excited to be back here at Grissini (located at the lobby level of Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel) for a meal. It is one of those lesser-known restaurants by the riverside which has a romantic ambience. And if you are looking for a private fine dining experience, Grissini fits the bill perfectly. Their Italian food did not disappoint at all. Their Head Chef Mirko Vinci pays attention to the details and serves the most exclusive gastronomic delights in Southern Italian style. Grissini’s New Menu They have recently refreshed their menu, adding more dishes to their current…

All-You-Can-Eat Seafood Buffet at Spice Brasserie
There are two words in this world which will excite any Singaporeans – ‘seafood’ and ‘buffet’. Some of our national dishes are seafood-based too. And there’s one all-time favourite seafood dish which Singaporeans adore – chilli crab. And I’m not surprised to find local diners here gathering over at the seafood buffet line to pile up their plates with crab meat at Spice Brasserie. There was already a short queue of eager diners waiting outside the restaurant entrance at 6pm, just before it opens. Spice Brasserie @ PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road Spice Brasserie is an all-day dining restaurant at PARKROYAL on Kitchener Road. It is located near the lobby area…

How An Onsen Bath Experience at Yunomori Onsen took 10 years off our age
I’ve visited Yunomori Onsen and Spa for a couple of times now and each time I was there, I would also leave this place feeling more energised and refreshed. And on our recent visit to Yunomori to check out their new Koshihikari Specialty Bath, we walked out of the onsen looking 10 years younger. Not to also mentioned that my troubled skin remained smooth and clear for almost a week after taking the onsen bath. $26 All Day Onsen Pass for Everyone at Yunomori Onsen And if you haven’t check out Yunomori onsen and spa before, you should make a trip there with your loved ones soon.

The Bicentennial Experience at Fort Canning Hill: What to expect there?
If you did not already know, Singapore marks its bicentennial this year. It has been almost 200 years ago since Sir Stamford Raffles came to our shores. The Singapore’s bicentennial experience revolves around the theme of Singapore’s pre-colonial and colonial history. It is indeed a special year for Singaporeans but I didn’t sense the hype it deserves. The public interest generated among Singaporeans is pale in comparison to Singapore’s grand SG50 celebration in 2015. But to me, it is rather exciting and intriguing to dig up our past and to re-examine our history textbooks on the mythical story of Sang Nila Utama. Our history plays a huge part in shaping…

How Sewing has Changed the Course of My Life
One of the reasons why I went on a brief hiatus in May was due to a ‘secret project’ I was embarking on – the dream of becoming a seamstress. My Sewing Dream It is nothing new as I’ve always enjoyed sewing pouches with my dream brand, ‘Deenise Glitz’ emblazoned on them. As a kid, I dreamt of being a fashion designer because it was cool to design dresses and clothes back then. But now, I realised it was way cooler to create your own clothes from scratch. Thus, this dream is nothing new to me. It just happens that the time was right and the Facebook ads on basic…

Althea Beauty: Bare Essentials Skincare
I have heard about Althea, a one-stop K-beauty online portal where you can shop for Korean beauty products. But I wasn’t really interested in checking out their offerings until a month ago when I got to know a couple of their best-selling and much raved about products. Althea Being curious, I decided to browse through their website and was surprised by the large variety of affordable Korean skincare products they offer. Most of the skincare products were also priced reasonably. Since they work directly with local suppliers in Korean, they are able to offer products at lower costs. Thus, instead of buying Korean skincare products from other online retailers, I…

How I Walk towards My Dreams with A Good Pair of Everyday Shoes
Not sure if it is writer’s block or that fact that I’ve been doing a lot of walking and exploring which has been hindering me from generating a blog post since the start of May but now, I’m back with writing. I will be exploring new topics and events to write about. Because after all, what’s life without the sparkles and other random stuff? I recently bought a pair of shoes from Timberland Singapore and with a good pair of comfy shoes, I was actually more motivated to get out of the house to explore for some very strange reasons. Maybe investing in a good pair of everyday shoes is…
