Food Hunts - Kaya Toast in Singapore

One of my main hobbies is exploring new food and I've been meaning to write about all the many places, so will be starting a series documenting our food hunts! This year, my family has been going around trying kaya toasts in Singapore because kaya toast is the quintessential Singaporean breakfast and comfort food, but we almost always only eat Yakun, and recently the kaya in the kaya toast has been sooo little so we thought it's time to broaden our kaya toast horizons! Also, there are many lists of 'best kaya toasts in Singapore' floating around so I was tempted to give them a try. So here goes, listed by chronological order of visit.

June 2024 - Hong Kong & Macau [VNL 2024]

Continuing my adventures round the world to watch sports, this time it was Hong Kong for Week 3 of VNL 2024! It's been awhile since we last visited HK and air tickets were pretty cheap - around $350 per person on SQ for round trip! 

April 2024 - Upstate NY, Boston, Ottawa, Montreal (Part 2) [PWHL]

Continuing with Part 2 of my trip, where I head to Canada for PWHL matches in Ottawa and Montreal.

April 2024 - Upstate NY, Boston, Ottawa, Montreal (Part 1) [Women's Hockey Worlds]

Third trip to North America in less than 3 years! Because IIHF Women's Hockey World Championships was held in Utica, NY this year, and the Professional Women's Hockey League also started this year and there happened to be 2 games in Montreal and Ottawa just a week after Worlds, so decided to take the opportunity to do both in one trip!

My itinerary was to fly from Singapore to NYC, travel up to Utica (upstate NY), then to Boston, then take a flight to Ottawa, and fly back to Singapore from Montreal. I decided to take Emirates as it's cheaper than SQ and it allowed me to fly back from Montreal without going back to NYC. I also booked all my tickets on the assumption that the PWHL Ottawa game was on April 20th and PWHL Montreal game was on April 21st, but then the Montreal game got shifted to April 20th, so my plans were kinda messed up and I had to do a lot of extra travelling since 1) I didn't want to change my flights, and 2) I still had to fly back from Montreal as Emirates doesn't fly from Ottawa.

Drama Reviews - Pyramid Game (2024)

In Pyramid Game, Sung Sooji (Kim Ji Yeon/Bona from WJSN), a high school student who transfers to class 2-5 of Baekyeon Girls High School realises that the class engages in a popularity vote under the guise of a game with potentially dangerous consequences. 

Drama Reviews - Gyeongseong Creature (2023)

Gyeongseong Creature is set in 1940s, during the Japanese occupation of Korea. The show draws inspiration from Unit 731, the infamous unit that did experiments on their captive population. In this historical fiction drama, the show depicts the creation of a monster by the Japanese and how Jang Taesang (Park Seojoon), owner of a famous pawnshop in Gyeonseong, and sleuth Yoon Chaeok (Han Sohee) become intertwined with the monster and each other. 

November/December 2023 - Germany + Poland (Part 2)

Continuing with Part 2 of my trip, where we head to Poland. First exploring Krakow, including a day trip to Auschwitz and the Salt Mine, followed by a stopover in Lodz to watch a volleyball match, and finally ending the trip in Warsaw.
