Celebrating 30 Years of Starbucks SG: Hunting Down 8 Iconic Store Stamps in 2 Weeks

Whether you’re team YouTube or team Blog, I’ve got you covered! Moving forward, I’ll be pairing my video uploads with extra-detailed blog posts so you get the full scoop every time. In honor of Starbucks’ 30th Anniversary in Singapore (opened in 14.12.1996) , they released exclusive store stamps across 8 iconic outlets . I set out on a two-week mission to collect every single one. And it turned out to be equal parts of café exploration and endurance test; braving the intense tropical heat of Singapore and racking up serious steps as part of my daily exercise, just to reach outlets like Gardens by the Bay! But discovering new stores and filling up my journal made every step worth it. Here’s how the whole quest went down! Grab a journal card at any of the 8 iconic stores and get started! #1 Stop - Chinatown My stamp hunt officially kicked off at the 37 Smith Street outlet in Chinatown, the most convenient starting point for me since it’s just one stop train ride from my office during m...

Food Review | Peach Garden [[CLOSED AT OCC]]

I guess I'm the sort of food blogger who doesn't go around the island to get a taste of the different variety of food available in Singapore. But I will make an effort to explore a new place when I have a date with my husband or my bestie. And that is when you will see my review. 

Long story cut short. So I brought my husband for a birthday treat here at Peach Garden @ Orchid Country Club which is just a 5 minutes drive from our home. Convenience and also we can get some groceries from NTUC if needy.

Honestly I have no idea of what Peach Garden has to offer but knowing that it is a Chinese restaurant and serves Cantonese cuisine, the variety will somehow be the same as what other restaurants has to offer so it shan't fail us in terms of the quality and taste.

XO酱萝卜糕拼咸蛋软壳蟹 
Fried Carrot Cake w XO Chili Sauce accompanied with Deep-fried Soft Shell Crab with Salted Egg Yolk 

The carrot cake can be done in smaller cubes. Soft shell crab is crispy and love it when it is coated with salted egg yolk. 


虫草花乌鸡炖天使翅 
Double-boiled Yoshikiri Shark’s Fin with Black Chicken and Cordycep Flower 

Good to have though the shark fins can be a little bit more. Chinese herbs used to nourish our body.


金银蒜蒸鲈鱼扒 
Steamed Fillet of Sea Perch with Golden Garlic and Superior Soy Sauce 

It brings out the real taste of the fish through garlic without having much seasoning. Guilt-free dish.


黄金汁大明虾 
Pan-fried King Prawn with Pumpkin Sauce

Prawn can be fresher, sauce was nice and blends well with the food.


鲍鱼仔炒鸳鸯饭 
Fried “Ying Yang” Rice with Baby Abalone 

Mild savoury taste and uses brown rice. Baby abalones too cute and chewy. Healthier choice to be honest.


精美甜品 
Mango-Sago 

A decent and refreshing dessert with small chunks of mango. 


The good thing about choosing a set menu is that you save the time in deciding and they will portion out before serving up individually. And you won't over eat or waste food. On the other hand, you just gotta take whatever is set for you in the menu. You may not like one thing or two from the menu. 

Do make a reservation online before you decided to go for a meal. Enjoy!
