Exploring Katong: From Iconic Laksa to Vintage Finds (BONUS! POP Bakery)

Date of Visit: 19 September 2026 A weekend date with your partner doesn’t always require an expensive meals, an overpriced plane ticket or an elaborate itinerary. Sometimes, the best trips are right in our own backyard that blends in rich local flavors, a walk down memory lane, and a relaxed afternoon exploring historic neighborhoods. If you're looking for a perfect day trip in Singapore, here is how we spent a meaningful weekend re-exploring the charm, nostalgia, and hidden gems of Katong and Marine Parade. My hubby will be the storyteller for the day. Nostalgic Detour: Roxy Square Address: 50 East Coast Rd Singapore 428769 Nearest MRT: Marine Parade (TEL) We kicked off our day with Roxy Square . Built on the historic site of the old Roxy Theatre, this spot retains a quiet retro charm. Wandering through its classic tailor shops, traditional beauty salons, and quiet music nooks felt like stepping into another era; a true hidden gem for anyone who appreciates the quieter side of her...

Indulgence Deprivation

Well... Some unhappiness at work has made me real demoralize. Big times! I am not sure why it happens but even if I'm in the wrong, I deem fit have the right to know and maybe apologise if it is really my fault. But nobody wants to tell me... So sick of it.

So I intend to do something. And that is an pre planned urgent leave next week. I know is bad but I really need it. I really want to make that day a wonderful treat for myself. Indulge in food, shopping, exploration etc. I'm going to do it on my own. So I shall call it a Loner's Wonderful Day Out. I am still in the midst of planning my day out and the only item that I have thought of was running. Yeah... First thing first in the morning is a good and quality run. Shall either be a 5km or 10km... depends whether I'm lazy or not. And after that, tentatively will be a haircut. And after that... no idea yet. But should be able to come out with a good one by Sunday. Need to choose a nice outfit for that day so that it makes me happy the whole day.

So for now, please do wait up for my post next week, Loner's Wonderful Day Out. Lotsa photos and my thoughts on that day. Stay tune.
