Bangalore’s Like That Only?
My India colleague brought us to this fusion restaurant located at Whitefield, Bangalore that had a rojak looking logo comprising of a red Vespa paired with an oriental fan in full plumage, riding on a bottle-opener. Sounding really Singlish, the name Likethatonly struck a cord with us Singaporeans immediately! Our host quickly explained that the entire English speaking […]
Paying Tribute To The Giant Bull Deity In Bangalore, India
Sunday is not exactly the best time to visit Bangalore. For some reason, most of the historical and cultural attractions such as Bangalore Palace and Tipu Sultan’s Palace in the city are closed on that day. Hence I turned to my best available option – The Bull Temple also known as Basavanagudi. The temple was supposedly adjacent to […]

A Weekday Stroll Along Chennaites’ Elliot Beach
Before we head to Chennai International Airport, my colleague and I were given one last chance to visit a non hotel or shopping mall attraction that’s along the way.

What’s A Ponycat & What Does It Got To Do With Breakfast?
The best part about staying at Bowen Terrace Accommodations at New Farm, Brisbane was that 3 of the well-loved local breakfast haunts – The Ponycat Cafe, Au Cirque and The Little Larder were all located within close walking distance! The cafe was rather quiet at around 10am on a Tuesday morning, I supposed everyone had their […]

Attracting a number of Europeans, middle easterners and Asians residents, the area now offers a lively fusion of cultures, alternatives and vintage.

Winn Lane – A Quirky Mismatched Enclave in Downtown Brisbane
Curiosity got the better of me when I saw Winn Lane signage on an old building along Ann Street towards the direction of The Mega Beat Club. Even though it might just be mischievous graffiti, I decided to follow the direction of the arrow down a rather typical narrow strip of tar. Tucked away deep in the middle […]
