Globalization is…
…having Hong Kong crispy duck for supper, grilled Frankfurters on a bun for lunch, and Thai rice noodles (phad si eiw) with Tom Yam-based steamboat and crispy chicken green curry for dinner. All these along the same stretch of restaurants in a town village of Germany! Not to mention having our fair share of the…

Cafè-Hopping: The Loft
In the weather news, Melbourne is a scorching 40 degrees today! I’d managed to come back to Singapore this morning, escaping the northwesterly winds that are dragging the heat with it. Whew. Tomorrow I would be in Russia, possibly hibernating my winter away in the subzero freeze. Whilst loading up on instant Chinese food to…

[MELBOURNE] oo2. Caffe e Torta
![[MELBOURNE] oo2. Caffe e Torta](https://viktoriajean.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/caffe-e-torta-interior-4.jpg?w=1024)
Upon touchdown I had managed to catch a good nights’ sleep (albeit, due to time difference, it was 3am Melbourne time when I finally crashed), and even woke up for hotel breakfast early next morning. Late afternoon, I ventured into the CBD area with hopes of locating Hardware Societe which was further out past Collins Street,…

[MELBOURNE] oo1. Flinders Street Coffee
![[MELBOURNE] oo1. Flinders Street Coffee](https://viktoriajean.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/flinders-street-coffee-1.jpg?w=1024)
Since this roomy hangout was right next to our hotel, I checked myself in for my daily caffeine fix! But I didn’t get my order of latte or else I won’t be able to catch some sleep before going for work. Settled for their signature spinach and cheese roll which managed to look pretty good…

Cafè-Hopping: Working Title SG
Stumbled upon {working title} at Arab Street whilst wandering along Haji Lane and Bali Lane before kicking ass at Muay Thai on a Monday morning. They share a place with a hostel, and the cafè’s small but cosy. Iced latte was okay, nothing fantastic; there’s also a selection of tummy-fillers like their ice-cream cookies which…

Cafè-Hopping: Loysel’s Toy
All-day breakfasts, cakes and muffins, a selection of cappucinos, lattes and flat-whites, and a great hangout to catch up over some coffee — what’s not to love about Loysel’s Toy? 66 Kampong Bugis, #01-01 Sam Tat Building, Singapore 338987

1-Caramel Dessert Boutique
I miss hanging out here at 1-Caramel with my girls! On our usual cafe-hopping trips in Singapore, we go everywhere in search of the best cakes and coffee. This one at One Rochester Park served the best fluffy strawberry shortcake and Maltesers cheesecake, plus up here at Buona Vista, away from city centre’s hustle-bustle, we…

Baker’s Terrace in Perth
Australia is my favourite stopover for minced meat pies and squishy meat pastries!! For my airport-bound breakfast, I filled my tummy with this juicy chicken and veggie pot pie. It wasn’t altogether to-die-for because seriously I’ve had better meat pies from Pie Face or downtown Brisbane’s steak pie joints, but I’m a happy girl after…

[THAILAND] oo5.H Bistro @ Hansar Samui
![[THAILAND] oo5.H Bistro @ Hansar Samui](https://viktoriajean.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/dscn4409.jpg?w=1024)
I’m hella fortunate to have Thai friends who know all the best hideouts and dining places. While waiting for a couple more friends to touchdown in Koh Samui, we dined at the beachfront H Bistro at Hansar Resort. Its French Mediterranean menu boasts the likes of grilled Hokkaido Scallops, pan-roasted Miyazaki sirloin, smoked duck prosciutto,…

[THAILAND] oo4.Beyond The Sea, Siamese Brasserie
![[THAILAND] oo4.Beyond The Sea, Siamese Brasserie](https://viktoriajean.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/dscn4339.jpg?w=1024)
The entire week spent in Koh Samui, we basically feasted all day long on authentic Thai food and fresh-from-the-ocean seafood. The high tides plus bad weather made it nearly impossible for water-sports, so we cancelled our initial plans to take the open-sea scuba-diving license exams. On our first morning we drove to ShaSa Resort for…

Costa Coffee and Travel Woes
Woes of a traveller: sometimes you’re bound to crave familiar and comforting sights or foods!! Costa Coffee is one of those lighthouses I’m always happy to see in foreign lands, along with Starbucks and Boots. At the moment, they have gingerbread coffee coolers and lattes as their festive drinks, which I find none too amazing.…

Hoshino Coffee
Post-workout dinner in which the matcha souffle we were looking so forward to turned out not so fantastic whilst the main dishes were amazing. Whenever I’m back in Singapore, enochlophobia kicks in. Peak hour dining, rush hour traffic, a Friday night out – tell me how I can avoid the crowds please! Thankfully my usual…

![[THAILAND] oo2.Island Lovin’](https://viktoriajean.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/dscn1000.jpg?w=1024)
Headed for Thailand’s Koh Samui with my favourite travel pals in exactly 3 days’!! ❤ So stoked about scuba-diving, and living the island life in my friends’ resort. Also can’t wait to start partying at the local hotspots on Chaweng Beach. On our last trip to Koh Samet, another offshore party island in the Gulf of Thailand,…

London Lovin’: Wafflemeister
Amidst the London rush hour, the lost tourist a.k.a Viktoria Jean was trying to get to the ice-cream store just across the street on South Kensington. At 6pm in the evening, walking against the crowd is no easy feat. Everybody seems to be dashing somewhere, moving fast ahead with their lives, going with the incessant…

Sushi Lovin’
Ravenous from a gruelling session of Muay Thai, we feasted heartily on a meal of sushi and soft-shell crab salads! Am so in love with Muay Thai now too, except on days when I get nasty bruises, like on my elbows!! Would love to kick some real asses when I get more proficient. Robert, our…
