In Singapore, brunching is huge, especially on the weekends. People tend to show up at around 11am, and enjoy Prosecco or Bloody Marys until 2pm or 3pm. Most brunch spots offer the usual- Eggs Benedict, Pancakes… you know the deal. Recently, Mandarin Oriental in Singapore invited me over to try their Dim Sum brunch at […]
Hello hello I hope all is well on your side. Time is flying by at INSEAD. Know when life is so good you can’t really talk about it because it would just seem like you are showing off? Like, there’s nothing even slightly negative to say. I never cease to be amazed by the quality of […]
I know I know, Vicky Cristina’s isn’t still “new”, but there is a chance you may not have been there yet. If this is the case, go! I went during the day, and admittedly, the black and red decor does lend itself more to a nighttime ambiance. We tried a little bit of everything and […]
Before the MBA got started officially, I had about 2 weeks to do restaurant reviews. I really thought that I’d continue reviewing restaurants at the same pace as I did back in SA, and was super excited about discovering a new country’s food. Now that I’ve settled into a routine, it isn’t quite working out […]
Vegas is one of those places that is on everyone’s bucket list, and rightly so. It’s iconic and you need to go at least once in your life. Would I go again? I don’t think so. Is it one of my favourite parts of the US? Not at all. Las Vegas wasn’t really my cup […]
Now that all 3 of my US pieces have been published in the Sunday Indy, I can finally write about it on Jozilicious –yay! Planning a month in the US took a LOT of time. I would say I worked on the trip everyday for about 6 weeks. I had resigned from work by this […]
Hello all! I’m writing from the plane en route to Singapore from Yangon, Myanmar, where I’ve just spent 4 days. The first period of the MBA is already over, and we had a few days off before period 2 starts. When I came to Singapore, I didn’t know too much about travel within Asia, apart […]
Hey hey I’m writing this post because I’m really in the mood to blog, which is the best time to write- not when you have to or need to. I actually miss being just a blogger and not a freelance writer, because back then, every single blog post was written with passion. Now, I simply don’t […]
Hello all, I really had hoped to blog more once in Singapore but time is just passing by so quickly. I seem to have more freelance writing on my plate than ever before which is great because I don’t have a real job anymore so even the meagre rate per word is better than nothing, but not […]
A while ago, I was invited to my very first blogging event in Singapore. The event was to introduce the Entertainer app to Singapore bloggers. It was so exciting to meet these bloggers, and realise that they’re not that different from me. More importantly, it was great to get restaurant recommendations for Singapore! I always feel […]
Calling all fashion lovers! Skip got into touch with me to let me know about a really fab event that’s happening soon- the Skip Fashion Exchange. I love an excuse to go out with my girlfriends, and I think this is a great way to do something different. Basically, the idea is that you bring […]
My favourite pieces of Singapore
November 30, 2014 by Hasmita Nair • Singapore, Travel • 2 Comments
Admittedly, my experience of Singapore has not been normal. I’m in a bubble- surrounded by intelligent, fun, dynamic people, the company of whom I’d enjoy even if we were stranded in Bloemfontein (for non South Africans, this is the equivalent of a really small town in Malaysia, for e.g.) We move around in this bubble- […]
