Affordable French dishes by a Michelin-starred chef? What a dream. When it comes to date night, I personally prefer dinner and drinks at a romantic restaurant. Almost every restaurant in the Dempsey enclave is high on my must-visit list, but none of them compares to Claudine. Who can say no to French fare served within an old chapel? But like most price-conscious Singaporeans, the price tag often means saving Claudine for an extra special celebration.

Violet Oon Singapore has taken its first momentous step, opening the brand’s first standalone restaurant within the lush Dempsey enclave. News of its Jewel outlet shutting down spread like wildfire when it was announced in February, but now that the Peranakan restaurant has established a new home, food lovers and dedicated fans need not fret. Opened alongside her children Yiming and Su-Lyn, the Dempsey outpost was born out of a labour of love and dedication from the whole family.

When Black Mirror season 7 was released over the weekend, you best believe I binge-watched the whole thing without missing a beat. The show is known for its take on contemporary occurrences like the rise of social media and advancing technology, adding dark twists and spins that shake your impression of the world. The latest season has been considered one of the best seasons yet, and I can see why. There are rarely any shows that evoke a sense of loyalty out of me the same way Black Mirror does.

Who doesn’t love the thrill of a good find at thrift shops in Singapore? Dig deep and you may unearth a swishy vintage dress or a one-of-a-kind, Pinterest-worthy gem. But the hunt can be overwhelming. My hot tip: start early, eat well, have some coffee handy, and wear comfortable shoes that you can easily take off if you wanna try something on.

Whoever said fishes are boring might be right. But I believe boring is subjective. My dad (being a dad) kept a silver arrowana at home, and some core childhood memories involved watching it swim and eat. Yes, boring but it was peaceful. Now, I’m considering setting up a little underwater world of my own – and before diving in, I’ve been doing my homework. Lots of research, plus tapping into my dad’s experience, to make sure I get things right from the start.
