The Pop-Up-Store at Park Street Mews is much more than an average crafts store.

Salted Peanut Butter Cookies

If asked what my culinary prefernces were, I would always opt for something salty and sour as opposed to sweet.

Walking into Yum Yum Fine Foods, I can only describe it as the perfect place for any candy lover.

Chocolate Pudding

It’s unfair to declare that diamonds are a girl’s only best friend. A girl has other best friends too. They include shoes, alluring undergarments, (since of late) a glamorous matte red lipstick and chocolate of course.

Casa Heliconia: Boho in the Jungle

Caaan Lah!

To make good prawn noodle soup you need a variety of fresh ingredients. Throw them in a pot and simmer over low heat, till it’s thickened. Singapore is much like prawn noodle soup: vibrant, fresh and full of flavor. It’s a hearty meal for any traveler.
