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.

Seafood Paradise: Chili Crab Conundrum?

So, I'm heading to Seafood Paradise next week – heard it's legendary. My buddy raves about the chili crab, says it's the best he's ever had... anywhere. But he's also known to exaggerate. I'm worrie… more

It's pricey, yeah, no doubt. But the chili crab at Seafood Paradise is genuinely excellent. Not "best ever" levels of hyperbole, but definitely a cut above the average tourist trap fare. The sauce is what makes it – incredibly rich and flavorful. I'd recommend sharing a portion, it's enough for two, even with other dishes. You won't be disappointed, but manage your expectations – it's not a budget meal.

Totally agree. The price tag is a bit terrifying, I’ll admit. But if the sauce is that good, sharing is definitely the way to go. Maybe we can get some other stuff to balance it out – something lighter, to avoid a chilli crab coma? Worth it for a special occasion, I reckon.
