We wanted to give the girls some pasta and so popped into Warung Italia on Jl. Kunti. We have eaten in a few places along Jl. Kunti and it has to be said this place stands out. Not in a gastronomic delight or anything but very kitsch Italian kind of way. If you're with kids... Continue Reading →
Malo’s
Wild boar goulash! How could we not go! We did go past this Swiss restaurant several times before deciding to go. It didn't really stand out from the road and wasn't until we saw the wild boar sign that we decided to go. I had the wild boar goulash which was fantastic with very tender... Continue Reading →
A Very British Concern
In less than a week the family and I will have relocated from Singapore to Auckland. My top concern is a very British affliction. When we get off the plane in New Zealand we will have no jobs, no home, no schools sorted, no permanent visa for me the list seams to just go on.... Continue Reading →
Wacko Burger
Having not seen a playground for nearly 3 weeks we headed to Kaya Aya food village which advertised having one. The first problem was that taxi drivers didn't know the place.

Villa Baku

Plastic in our seas

So basically the way I see it there are 3 basic levels of coffee here. Bali coffee or ABC coffee at ~5k Expresso based coffees with your lattes from... Continue Reading →
I have known about Christmas lights and Deepavali lights on Orchard and Serangoon Road. But this is the first time I have seen Hari Raya lights near Paya Ledar MRT.
Sushimi
As you can probably tell by the title this is a Japanese sushi restaurant. We ended un in here by accident as we had been heading somewhere else but due to the taxi driver going the wrong way we ended up here instead. We have taken our kids to sushi restaurants before so we weren't... Continue Reading →
Bali Digest – The End
Well our holiday is over, so here are my final thoughts but there are a bunch of posts about Bali still scheduled to come. We stayed in Seminyak, which some folks have said is one of the more expensive parts of Bali even so your Singapore dollar goes a long way. We unintentionally stayed south... Continue Reading →
