[random] Dinner at Putien + Mama Diam + CRYBABY’s new series: ‘CRYING FOR LOVE’

It has been a long hiatus since my last visit to PUTIEN Restaurant. I went to the outlet located at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) with baby for dinner. 

We ordered our usual favourite items - Pu Tien Mee Sua and Sweet and Sour Pork with Lychee. 

The Sweet and Sour Pork with Lychee, tasted fabulous! I had several helpings, and each piece of pork gave me a nice, homely feel.



It was a pleasant meal on the whole, and the damage was about SGD80+.

Both N and I decided to have dinner at Mama Diam - It's a Speakeasy Bar with a secret entrance behind the retro Mama Shop! It is located at Prinsep Street. 

Mama Shop is an important element of Singapore’s rich cultural heritage. The front of the place is made up to resemble a small and often family-run provision store commonly found under HDB blocks back in the 1980s to early 2000s.

Mama Diam has nailed it by recreating this iconic setting. I’ve had many fond memories of exploring neighbourhood mama stores when growing up, so I was super excited about this dinner date. 

We initially could not find the place, but luckily, we spotted the 'mama store' which displayed some of my favourite childhood snacks as exactly how I remembered. An immediate flashback memory of a typical mama store back in the good ol’ days kicked in!

Prior to our visit, we made a reservation, and upon reaching the venue, we were ushered inside. The inside was like a completely different vibe from the outside - it was a sleek, modern, and dimly lit bar.


The drinks were great!

The menu featured lots of fusion food and we were very curious about the menu items! We had a huge variety of dishes - the Salted Egg Lotus Root Chips and Tempura Otah were the standouts to me!



Mama Diam is a hidden Speakeasy gem, and I like their dining concept. If you do visit, just make sure that you make a reservation in advance.

We ended our night with a Mango Bingsu at Plaza Singapura. Thanks for the treat, girl! 

To celebrate the Chap Gor Meh of CNY, my company has allocated a generous budget to be given to the respective HODs to organize lunch for their staff!! My Boss, D catered a buffet lunch for us in the office. 


Thanks HMM for the lunch treat, and each of us received 2-3 bottles of Chicken Essence as well! 

Thanks for making the trip to Shiroi Koibito Park while touring in Sapporo to obtain these lovely Ishiya Chocolate Tea bags! Loves you loads, Kak Z! 

Both Baby and I visited the UNIQLO Coffee Pop-up at National Design Centre. We took some random photos at the PEACE FOR ALL Photobooth, and I love the Pablo Picasso’s Bouquet of Friendship display!


Baby got me the CRYBABY’s new series: ‘CRYING FOR LOVE’ - Valentine’s Day Collection. It is a Phone Charm Blind Box, and I been using it since unboxing. 


I got the Kiss Kiss-Devil Vers ❤️ which happens to be my favorite one! Thanks Baby for this simple yet memorable gift on Valentine’s Day!
