I had called/texted to wish her … Continue reading →

Back in Singapore, my first dinner was determined by Andrew’s post. Charcoal Tofu! It looked so scrumptious I knew I had to visit the restaurant. We couldn’t map out “Eastpac Building” on the GPS. It was a merry-go-round even though Balestier Road was short. We nearly gave up when Keith decided to key in “Cafe … Continue reading →
