Yat Ka Yan Dessert is a famous dessert place in Singapore. Their main shop is at Fortune Centre. This is the new outlet at Tan Quee Lan. It's near Bugis MRT station, so it's easy to find. There's usually a long line, but it moves quickly. We tried their Mini Soup Set of 3, where you pick 3 desserts. It's perfect if you don't want a lot. We chose Walnut Paste, Purple Rice with Coconut Milk, and Barley Beancurd. They were all delicious, which explains the crowd. We'll definitely go back to try their shaved ice and other dishes. Address: 9 Tan Quee Lan St, #01-03, Singapore 188098

#2024wish Nestled within a charming Bugis Street shophouse, The Cat Cafe provides an ideal setting to savor a cup of gourmet coffee in the delightful company of local feline friends. Each cat in this cozy cafe has found a loving home through adoption, making it a heartwarming space that combines the pleasure of quality coffee with the joy of sharing the moment with these adorable, adopted companions. The Cat Cafe at Bugis is not just a coffee destination; it's a unique and compassionate experience, where the warmth of freshly brewed coffee is complemented by the purrs and playful antics of the resident cats.

The street is one of the popular landmark in Singapore. While walking along the Muscat Street, i saw the imposing golden-domed of Masjid Sultan. I also see the hotel nearby which can be a good location in the street. It also such nice place to walk, especially for tourists. Will be back again to discover more about this beautiful street! Location: Muscat Street located at Bugis, Singapore. #singapore

#staycation Planning my Village Hotel Bugis staycation and I am here looking for hotel utensils and appliances. I asked around and I was told that I can find commonly used items in this kitchenware shop in the Bugis area. It was near the Village Hotel Bugis so I went over and took a look. This shop is selling all their good quality stuff meant for hotels and restaurants use. They also sell to the public and you can buy in lower quantities. I managed to get a stainless steel teapot which I encountered during my staycation. It is the correct size for me and I am glad that I found it.

#artshunting Planning my Village Hotel Bugis staycation and I am here at Bugis and chance upon an artistic Mookata shop. It is located at the corner coffee shop and there is a special pink door which looks like a vending ma like the usual entrances. This Mookata place is one of them. They have neon sign boards and unique doors. I push open the door and it is a staircase leading upstairs. As it was still early for dinner, I looked through their menu and will take note to revisit on my next trip.

#staycation Planning my Village Hotel Bugis staycation and I am here at a cute pink dessert shop. Thanks to the staycation booked at Village Hotel Bugis and Trip.com also had the same deal, which included $30 Village Currency. Smile Desserts is one of the newly included places to use for Village Currency. You will not miss this unique dessert shop at Bugis. On the second floor, they even have a ball pit area and you can sit in the ball pit and have your desserts. It is a self-service place so you will place an order on the ground floor and collect a buzzer, then you can wait for them to alert you.

TAAN IZA-BAR⭐️✨ Address - 1 Liang Seah Street #01-03/04 Singapore 189022. (Bugis MRT) Ambience – TAAN is not only a restaurant, but it’s more to an izakaya to all guests a casual place for drinking, chatting, dining with friends and families. TAAN décor with their Japanese themed which has the rugged uneven surface wall surrounding; and there’s an individual modern art piece handmade with copper - Cool!👍🏻👍🏻✨ Food – we are tempted by the Unaki Maki; the Salmon Sashimi; the Kinako Butter Yaki; and the Tamago Mentai. A must-try dish their “Spicy Seafood Pasta”…..yummy!😋👍🏻✨ Service – friendly staff; and their food served fast.👍🏻✨

📍 Bugis Arab Street Area The street in front of the entrance to the Sultan Mosque is the pedestrian-only Bussourah Street. It's a popular photo spot with many tourists 🤳 The surrounding Muscat Street and Arab Street are lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants, and once you step inside, you'll find yourself in an exotic space 👍 As it is called Arab Street, there are many Arab restaurants such as Lebanese and Turkish cuisine. Kebab 🥙 I was repeatedly called out "Kebab" lol Please take a stroll around the area after visiting the mosque 🫶 You can feel the multinational and exotic atmosphere of Singapore, so it's a good place to look for souvenirs or stop by the cafe ‼ ︎ Access 🚇 The nearest station to Arab Street is Bugis Station on the MRT East-West Line and Downtown Line. #AsiaTravel #AutumnTrip #Singapore #SingaporeTourism

#meetsingapore Address: 8 Liang Seah St, #02-03, Singapore 189029 This is a super popular shop which I noticed when I was in the same area. I went to take a look and found out that it was a beauty enhancement shop for the ladies and gentlemen too. They have a few outlets and this outlet is in the Bugis area. They have different types of services for your needs. Most of the time, they are having in-store promotions and their prices look affordable too. The layout of the shop is simple, pink furnishings with white walls. They also have a notice that they will not hardsell beauty packages. It is better to make a prior booking before showing up. As I understand, the beauty therapist will need time to complete the beauty services in a safe way.

Address - Tan Quee Lan Street, Bugis, Singapore 188100 Inside Out Festival Singapore was one of the most interesting and memorable festivals I have attended. It was a highly artistic focused, design-centric festival that showcased the works of various artistes in Singapore. Some of the displays were quite epic and huge structures, like the lighted box in the middle of a quadrangle. There was also edible art by Janice Wong, who designed bite-sized chocolates on lollipop sticks and decorated a whole room with them. Guests were invited to take one to try, super cool! My overall rating of the experience: 4 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #sginsider #exploresgtogether #momentssg #tripmoments #market #festival #shopping #singapore

If you haven’t heard of this aesthetic bubble tea brand, @machimachi_singapore is apparently one of Jay Chou’s faves and was even featured in his music video ‘Won't Cry’ (𝘣𝘵𝘸 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘨 🎵) We went to the branch near Haji Lane - absolutely loved the minimalistic sign above the seats outside (📷 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘱𝘱) as well as the pretty bottles (𝘐 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘶𝘴𝘦) 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐦 𝐉𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 Surprisingly this was my fave, as the refreshing nature helped beat the hot weather, plus the smooth texture and slight sourness of the plum jello at the bottom of the bottle really stood out 👍🏻 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐚 I ordered this just #forthegram and kinda regretted it 😅 Don’t get me wrong, I actually quite enjoyed the sweet strawberry milk, but the creamy panna cotta made this feel more like a dessert than a drink, and was quite heavy after lunch that I still felt bloated till dinner time… so I would recommend sharing with someone 😌 ᴡᴏʀᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ʜʏᴘᴇ? Yes, I’ll give it a second chance and would probably try their tea-based drinks next time 🍵 ✨ 𝙁𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 @𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚.𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨.𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬𝙨 📍 Machi Machi 25 Arab Street, 01-01, Singapore, 199724 (Bugis MRT exit B) #foodie #singapore #bubbletea

Address: Kitten Sanctuary SG, 737A North Bridge Rd, Singapore 198705 This is a non-profit Animal Welfare Group run entirely by volunteers. They focus on education and advocate for lifelong adoption, tolerance and compassion. They rescue strays and care for them in a kitty haven, where they are safe until they find their permanent homes. You can visit and play with these rescued cats and also adopt them. The volunteers are vert friendly too. The visit was separated into 3 stages - first was play time with the kittens and younger cats, followed by visiting the other adult cats for pets and treats and lastly, meeting the resident cats with double coloured eyes! Do note that they have a fixed time slots and it’s recommended to book a slot online first! I recommend visiting in the morning as the cats are more energetic then. #sginsider

Address: The White Label, 734 North Bridge Rd, #01-01, Singapore 198702 Situted within the bustling streets of Kampong Gelam, The White Label is a halal dining destination that will take you to the magical city of light - Paris. Savour classical French cuisine with a twist of local flavours. We ordered:- 1. Pappardelle au Beef Ragout - 7/10 The pasta was handmade, and it has a nice texture to it. It was cooked to perfection and the flavour of the sauce was sweet and peppery. 2. Cherrywood Smoked Contre-Filet - 8/10 The Striploin was infused with butter and cooked in Cherry Wood Smoke. Nice thick cut with a beautiful crust. The steak was more on the medium side rather than medium rare but it was still soft and tender. I would skip the curry sauce on the side! Staff was attentive and overall a nice place to visit if you're around the area. #sginsider

It was a short but fun trip. We booked our hotel in #IbisPearlHotel. The hotel is quite small but it was decent, clean and near the MRT station. I also liked the orange juice vending machine, #ijooz, in the hotel lobby. Very delicious, convenient and refreshing! :) We have been to#sentosaisland and we were really amused by the attactions in #universalstudiosingapore. And oh! We also tried the #skylineluge which was super fun! On the succeeding days, we have explored and bought souvenirs in #chinatownsingapore, #mustafacentre and #bugis. We also tried the #rivercruise in #clarkequay. Over all, we enjoyed our first Singapore trip and we will come back again in the future, for sure!
