Jess Baby's random doings

Both chewy and I were pretty obsessed with stamp rallies lately, therefore we picked up the free Chinatown Singapore Stamp Rally booklet from the Chinatown Visitor Centre. There are a total of 11 checkpoint stations across the precinct to collect stamps and you can redeem a free souvenir postcard upon completion of the rally! On our first attempt, we managed to complete 6 stations, and we called it a day by having dinner at Jing Hua Restaurant which was suggested by Chewy as she had some discount vouchers. Our meal was pretty affordable, as I only paid less than SGD7. On another random weekend, Meryl joined us to complete our previously on-going stamp rally in Chinatown , and we stopped by Amacha and Starbucks along the way. Unfortunately, the Chinatown Visitor Centre closed early, so we couldn't collect our souvenir postcard, as it was already closed when we finished our drinks at Starbucks. We ended our date by having dinner at Shake Shack.  It’s been a long hiatus since I h...

[Meryl's birthday celebration] Café Monochrome + The Wizard Brew

Image
This is Singapore’s first Starbucks® store that is housed in a 2-storey heritage shophouse in Chinatown . I loved how the “星巴克®” (Starbucks®) was written in elegant Chinese calligraphy. Picture-Perfect Moment: The café's pastel-colored exterior created an ideal backdrop for a photo! I met up with the clique 7 on a random weekend, and we settled our dinner celebration/gathering at Café Monochrome which is located at Chinatown .  The café bears a black and white interior that looks like a flat 2D illustration in photos. Lately, the food served from cafés are getting pricey these days, and I do admit that Café Monochrome has significantly increased their prices as compared to my last visit way back in 2018! We had a delightful dinner, and we enjoyed our dinner very much. After our meal, we walked over to The Wizard Brew - a new Harry Potter-themed Café for all fans of the book, which is also located at Chinatown area. The Wizard Brew is tucked away in a third-sto...

[USA Trip] Day 03/04 - Manhattan / Brooklyn : MoMA + NBA LIVE

Image
Welcome to my blog! On this post, I have combined both Day 03 and Day 04 together, as I had spent most of my day 03 on shopping instead of doing sightseeing. We started our day at The Grey Dog Cafe , and they served comforting American breakfast classics. The eatery place had a homely feel with alot of decor. The service was friendly and fast, and the food was exceptional good! After our breakfast, we walked over to Burlington at Union Square for some shopping. I picked up this pair of Kicks from Calvin Klein at only USD25! What a steal! Shopping in New York is always fun!  Baby booked a luncheon for us at a Michelin Star Restaurant - Rezdôra .  We arrived at Rezdôra , and we were instantly transported to a trattoria deep in the heart of the Italian countryside. Even their restrooms were unique as they taught Italian lessons with audio cues! We arrived on the early side for the lunch timing, and the restaurant was almost occupied. I think the dinner service might be even mor...
