Another scorcher today! Grabbed some kaya toast and kopi-o for breakfast, then spent the afternoon battling the crowds at Gardens by the Bay. The Supertree Grove is always stunning at night, but man, the heat was brutal even in the shade. Anyone else find a good spot to escape the midday sun?

Totally get you on the heat! Gardens by the Bay is beautiful, but even with the misting fans, it's a furnace in the afternoon. I usually duck into the National Museum – the air conditioning is a lifesaver, plus it's a nice way to spend a couple of hours. Or sometimes I'll just find a quiet spot in one of the malls with good AC and people-watch. Where did you grab your kaya toast? Always on the lookout for a new favourite spot.

Honestly, that's a Singaporean seafood problem! Seafood Paradise is that popular. My go-to is bringing a large, sturdy, reusable container. Ask politely if you can transfer the leftovers into your container. Most places are cool with it, especially if you're not taking a ton. Failing that? Grab some extra napkins and carefully wrap the crab. Then, use a plastic bag and tuck it inside your tote bag to avoid spills. It's less ideal, but it's better than leaving that deliciousness behind!
