FOOD REVIEW: SYNC Korean Tapas Bar

This post is sure to pique the interests (and tummies) of Korean food enthusiasts and all foodies alike.

With the spate of newly established eateries and trendy cafes popping up in Serangoon Gardens, many have dubbed it "the next Holland Village". Since I live in the vicinity, I decided to explore my "backyard", so to speak.
After going to Korea this past July & taking a liking to Korean food, Sync Korean Tapas Bar, nestled in the heart of Serangoon Gardens, was one of the first places on my to-try list.
Nope, this contemporary eatery doesn't just dish up your traditional Korean fanfare.. They put their own spin on Korean flavors, serving Korean western fusion food a la tapas style in an east-meets-west concept.

The portions were just right - generous enough to fill my appetite. Between my 2 other dining companions & I, we wiped our plates clean and no morsel was left behind. Will definitely be reordering everything on my next visit!

At $49.90 for 6 tapas dishes, its safe to say that the prices are reasonably wallet-friendly.
Whether you're looking to try something new on the food scene, grab a quick bite or chill out with friends over a drink, this has my vote on being the spot to go.

Christmas in the tropics

Christmas jingles often promote the fantasy of a white Christmas. On the contrary, due to my aversion to the cold, I'm rather glad to be spending my Christmas back in the tropics, humid weather & all!

Honestly, the novelty of Christmas wears off with every year I grow older.. Whereas I used to be the first person to wake up on Christmas morning, I now prefer to have a lie in instead.
Rather than the day I can finally rip open my wrapped presents, Christmas now holds more of a sacred meaning to me. 

During this festive season, don't forget to share your blessings with the less fortunate as well.
Wishing everyone a truly blessed Christmas filled with love, laughter & joy!
Counting my blessings.

The Thigh's the Limit

The thigh's the limit


Warning: Some serious shoe porn ahead!

With winter fast encroaching upon us (at least in the UK), you may find yourself gravitating towards your pair of warm fuzzy UGGS - perfectly understandable.
On days you're feeling like something more dressy though, here are 5 knee high options that are bound to boost your style credentials to make up for those lazy-UGG-wearing days, whilst still keeping your pins all warm and snug.
