Mystical Banyan Treehouse @ Kallang Riverside Park; Singapore

Kallang Riverside Park is home to many banyan trees. They will greet you as you enter the park. Banyan trees have always been my favourite tree. Growing up in the Philippines, where banyan trees are locally called Balete, Balite or Baliti, I have heard of many stories of the spirits who like to call the banyan tree home and how sometimes it is a gateway between our world and the spirit world, hence Filipino's would sometimes call it the "Spirit Tree". But those stories never seemed to frighten me, in fact they would even intrigue me more.

Claypot Delights (Bak Kut Teh & Chicken Porridge) @ Koufu Punggol Plaza; Singapore

Whenever I feel a bit under the weather or just in need of warm soup, I always go get food at Claypot Delights at Koufu in Punggol Plaza.

Baby Dragon Playground @ Pipit Road MacPherson; Singapore

I went to see a friend who was visiting Singapore and staying in Circuit Road near the MacPherson MRT Station. After I decided to walk back to the station (since going to where my friend was staying only took me around 4 minutes and 3 bus stops), that's when I saw another Dragon (playground)!

Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice @ Maxwell Food Centre; Singapore

I always have avoided doing touristy things, but one day I decided to do something touristy for a change here in Singapore. So I headed to Maxwell Food Centre in Chinatown to try Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice!

Little Guilin (Bukit Batok Town Park) @ Bukit Gombak; Singapore

I was in the west side of Singapore and decided to explore one of the parks I've heard of, "Little Guilin".

Chachacha Mexican Restaurant @ Holland Village; Singapore

One day I was craving for some Mexican food, and I remembered a Mexican restuarant in Holland Village that some of my friends and I ate dinner at a few months back. So I decided to go there to fill my craving.

Chachacha is Singapore's oldest Mexican restaurant, established in 1990.

Sensory Park @ Toa Payoh; Singapore

Toa Payoh has some interesting sights, and one of them is the Toa Payoh Sesory Park. It is literally a park that stimulates all the senses, which opened in 2009.

Coney Island (Pulau Serangoon); Singapore

Since I'm the type of person who is loves the outdoors, I decided to visit Coney Island and walk around and be immersed in nature for a change. Plus I live quite close to it too.

Encik Tan @ Waterway Point Punggol; Singapore

I've probably passed by this place several time already ever since moving to Punggol. I've also read about it from other blogs and everyone seems to have good words about Encik Tan. So one day, when a friend and I were thinking of a place to eat in Waterway Point, we both agreed to give Encik Tan a try.

Umbrella Trees @ Hindoo Road Little India; Singapore

I've always been a fan of Dr. Seuss and his crazy, kooky and colourful world. So imagine my amazement when I happen to chance on an art installation along Hindoo Road in Little India, which honestly looked like something you would see in Dr. Seuss' universe.?

Dinosaur Playground @ Toa Payoh; Singapore

Growing up, I loved dinosaurs (I still do, but in a much smaller dose). I loved the Jurassic Park film series and had dinosaur books and toys.

When I decided to walk back from the temple to the MRT Station in Toa Payoh, I got a bit lost after seeing the Dragon Playground and made a wrong turn and ended up finding another way to my destination.

Little Topy (Sinigang na Baboy) @ Kopi Wu Coffee Shop Yishun; Singapore

So you know how when you've been away from your country for quite sometime, you start missing the food? Well, that's been happening to me for the past several months. Last time I had real Filipino food was in December of last year. Chinese and Malay food have similar flavours and dishes to Filipino cuisine, but it's still not the same. My tastebuds and I have been looking for those familiar flavours from home for quite some time.

Dragon Pillar @ Toa Payoh; Singapore

Dragons had always had a significant meaning to me. Being born in the Year of the Dragon (1988) is one of those reasons. In East Asian and Southeast Asian cultures, dragons have a more divine and benelovent image compared to their Western counterparts. Asian dragons were bringers of rain, water, good luck, prosperity, power and protection (you name it, dragons can do it!).
