Seattle: The troll
Token post on Seattle’s Fremont troll: My take is, don’t bother to see this. While it has a nice history to it, the troll isn’t worth making a special trip down.

Seattle: Experience Music Project
If you’re visiting Seattle and you’re not into kitschy touristy sights and only wanted to do that ONE thing, go check out the Experience Music Project! This was probably my favourite thing to do in Seattle. But know that I’m a sucker for all things pop […]
Seattle: Fremont market
Flea markets are pretty cool. Flea markets with food trucks are even cooler. I come from a city with maybe 5 food trucks in operation. For a mobile business that is supposed to be low-cost, a food-truck business in Singapore is ridiculously high. Throw in […]
Seattle: Chowders
I never thought I’ll go on a diet – me and food? It’s always a love relationship. One thing that I really miss about Seattle is the wide variety and amazing soups and chowders filled with fresh seafood. My favourites are those places that have […]
Seattle: First Starbucks Store

Seattle: Let’s go Huskies!
Sports is an unknown concept to me. I grew up with a focus on arts – I started dancing since I was a kid (on and off in my growing up years) and music was a huge part in my secondary school days. I ended […]
Seattle: Trabant (U District)
Before I went to Seattle, I was a latte kind of girl. My friend, got me to try chai latte when I was there. It’s really hard to find a good chai latte in Singapore. The best one I had in Seattle was at this […]
Seattle sight: University District farmers market
I love visiting markets – it’s this aunty-ness in me that finds it super fulfilling. The farmers markets in USA are quite intriguing and different from the local ones we have in Singapore – well, I bet they say the same thing when Americans come […]
