Greetings from sunny Singapore!   Recently, my friend and I went to a newly opened café located at the Viridian Art House along River Valley Road. It serves signature dishes and cakes like Ju’s Prawn Pappardelle, Tuna Melt, Fried Chicken & Waffle, Towkay Ng’s Egg Benedict , Red Velvet, Salted Caramel, Valrhona Chocolate cakes and many more! But sadly when I was there, the last order on a weekday is at 2.30pm. So I only got to try some of their cakes.   Address: The Foothills, 70 River Valley Road, Singapore 179037   How to get there: Take train to Clarke Quay Station, and then take bus 32 or 54 to alight in front of Liang Court.

I know many of you out there can't resist cute stuffs, especially when it comes to food! When you are in Hongdae, be sure to make a trip to Chocolat Yum!! For some directions, you can see the maps on http://cuteinkorea.com/chocolat-yum-bakery/ .   I went searching for the bakery all alone while in Hongdae. It was a little difficult to find as it is just a petite bakery in the middle of the bustling Hongdae. But I managed to asked around for directions by showing the map drawn by Cuteinkorea website!   Here are some pictures of the cute goodies~! :D   Cuteness overload! I couldn't make up my mind on which one to get!   I would love the person who buys me this whole strawberry shortcake for me. ^^   The goodies I bought!     This is by far the most delicious strawberry shortcake I have ever tasted! :P

When I was in Seoul, my friend Geunzi brought me to visit a royal palace! Gyeongbokgung , is the main and largest palace of the "Five Grand Palaces" built by the Joseon Dynasty. Gyeongbokgung , translated in English, means " Palace of Shining Happiness ."   Directions: Take the subway to Gyeongbokgung Station and take Exit #5 .   The admission ticket is very cheap! If I remember correctly, I only paid 3000won! :D And you can spend 2-3hours walking around the palace. It's super duper huuuugeeeee~   There are also guided tours but that is a separate fee.       This is the Hyangwonjeong Pavilion ! It means, the "Pavilion of Far-Reaching Fragrance". It is just a small, 2-story hexagonal pavilion. The pavilion was constructed on an artificial island of a lake named Hyangwonji. A bridge named Chwihyanggyo connects it to the palace grounds.     There are seriously so many different bu
