10 Budget-Friendly Tips For Your Taiwan Vacation

March 19, 2018 by Michelle 1 Comment
Baby J and Grandma to Taiwan

Ah Taiwan. We Singaporeans absolutely love the country! We are so won over by the mix of good food, shopping and breathtaking scenery. There’s really nothing not to love about Taiwan. People are often warm and friendly too! Also, some of the most bittersweet memories (but nostalgic) with hubby Sean were from Taiwan. (Yup, Part 2 will be out later this week!)

So we just returned from a 10-day trip to Taiwan 4 days ago. (I will do a separate blog post on the awesome stuff we did there.) Hubby Sean and I brought Baby J and both our mums along with us. This is also Baby J’s first airplane ride! We are definitely not strangers to beautiful Taiwan. But during this trip, we learnt more about how to budget properly, and still provide comfort to the little one and the two elderly. In the past, when we travel, Sean and I would only book our first accommodation (along with our flight tickets, of course), and settle the rest of our accommodation only while we are there. We no longer have the luxury of doing that since it can be pretty risky. Continue Reading…

Baileys Cheesecake Brownie Bars

I’ve always enjoyed baking, because I love my desserts! Well, these days not so much affinity towards desserts. As I get older, I noticed that my tolerance for sweets gets lower. Nonetheless, I still enjoy baking. It’s a great form of leisure! So you see, I love cheesecake, and I also love brownies. I thought, why not combine them? I also have a fresh bottle of Baileys Irish Cream in my refrigerator. It’s time to put it to good use! Presenting… Baileys Cheesecake Brownie Bars! Continue Reading…

The Day I Argued With the Food Auntie

August 22, 2017 by Michelle Leave a Comment
Mummy & Baby J in Koufu Thomson Plaza

Arguing with food auntie? I know, the title sounds strange, but hear me out! It is not what you think it is.

So, two evenings ago, I went to Koufu at Thomson Plaza with my family. Just the usual routine with the fams. The variety there is enough to keep us going there almost on a daily basis, as we are usually too tired to cook. I felt like having curry chicken, so I went to make my order at the stall. I believe this stall is owned by the Koufu operator too. Continue Reading…

‘Tis the Durian Season! (A Durian Seller Review)

August 9, 2017 by Michelle Leave a Comment
Thick and creamy MSW durians!

When the durian season started last month, we were taken aback by the exorbitant prices. My durian-loving mummy, Grandma W, held back her cravings, and waited around for the prices to drop. While it has dipped a little since the start of this season, it is still pretty pricey compared to how it was back in March this year. So we waited, drooling every time a friend or relative shared a photo of their Mao Shan Wang (MSW) or Musang King durians. Tak boleh tahan (cannot take it) on Monday already, so we finally took her to our one-and-only trusted durian seller to pick out the durians on us.

Ah Hua, our durian guy, texts his customers his prices on a daily basis, sometimes twice in a day when he reduces his prices in the evening. Since it was a Monday, I was expecting him to drop his prices by the evening. Indeed, his lowered prices price list came just after 6pm. He was offering $22 per kg for 10kg of MSW (plus free mangosteens), and considering how everyone else is still buying theirs at close to $30 per kg, I excitedly told my mum that I would take her to pick out her durians that evening. So off we (Grandpa H, Grandma W, Daddy Sean, Mummy Michelle and Baby J) went! Continue Reading…
