  • Where we first met in Best John & Aeran Memories

    My mom loves telling this story. We were the most unlikely of first year college roommates that annoyed the crap out of each other for the first few weeks of school. Not sure how we ended up being best friends and travelling / meeting up all over the world together, but thats where we're at now!

    Just saw this movie last night with Xixi - we both really enjoyed it. Great action and over-the-top scenes like you said. The ending was sad tho... RIP Paul

  • District 10 in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    I had the Black Angus Beef Burger ($19 w/ set lunch) which had a dense, buttery bun that I really enjoyed. The beef patty was quite chewy in texture with decent juiciness and hints of salt/seasoning that made for a great taste. There was a strong cheese & mayo flavor which was refreshingly good alongside the tomato. The fries were alright - thick but not very crispy. Overall a tasty burger that I'll glady have again.

    ps. the beef carpaccio was great, making for fantastic value as a set lunch.

  • Glints in How to find Interns in Singapore

    Glints is super cool and easy to use, and I was able to get some applicants and an intern for my startup. It did take a few weeks though - there are lots of internship postings (over 1,000 right now!) from many cool companies so you'll need to figure out how to stand out from the rest and attract people to apply.

    I'd suggest using a really cool photo and talking up your company + the role in the first sentence to attract people quickly.

  • Hubbers Facebook Group in How to find Interns in Singapore

    I went to the Facebook group looking to get referrals to interns, but ended up meeting someone who became my co-founder. Am really glad I didn't corner myself into an 'internship/jobs' site since I got so much more out of the process. Plus, I got a bunch of cool feedback and potential partnerships as a result of letting people know about what I'm doing.

    Hint: post here even if you're not looking for interns, you never know what you'll get!

  • The Chop House in The Ultimate Guide to Burgers in Singapore

    A friend and I ordered the BBQ Beef, Bacon, & Cheddar Burger ($29) and were pleasantly surprised when it came - it is a BIG burger. The toppings were very generous and enjoyable with tasty bacon and a ton of melted cheese. The patty was very thick and pretty juicy, and while the meat itself wasn't overly flavorful nor tender (cooked medium), the combination of size, ingredients, and BBQ sauce made for a very satisfying meal. The tater tots were served perfectly and made for a great side dish.

  • Strangers' Reunion in The Ultimate Guide to Eggs Benedict in Singapore

    I always opt for the smoked salmon version of Eggs Benedict whenever I have brunch and I can confidently say that this has been the best I've tried in Singapore. The hazelnut bernaise sauce is sweet and gives a very unique flavor to the dish, which is further complimented by the cheese and smoked salmon. The mixture of ingredients and tastes is excellent and nothing like other dishes I've tried - if you love Eggs Benedict you have to try these at Strangers' Reunion!

  • XiaoMi Mini Router in Stuff that I would introduce

    Awesome router! Previously had a $30ish TP-Link 802.11g "300 Mbps" router in my office that was only giving me a max of 30 Mbps, but more like 5-6 Mbps more often than not.

    Switching to the Xiaomi AC router immediately bumped that up to 55 Mbps down / 95 Mbps up, and cut the ping in half to 3ms (from 7-10 ms).

    No gigabit ethernet but you won't find anything in this price range with the feature. Definitely an awesome AC router for the price, and looks sexy too!

  • UOB PRVI Miles MasterCard / AMEX in Best Credit Cards for Airline Miles in Singapore

    These are decent cards but not nearly as attractive nowadays with the plethora of 4 mile / S$ options on the market. The UOB PRVI Miles cards offer you simplicity in being general use cards that require little thinking, but you pay a hefty price of losing out on almost 3x the miles by not using the best cards for each type of spending. That said, they do have some utility in filling in certain gaps that other cards can't earn 4 miles / S$, such as very very large overseas purchases (non-dining).

  • Avengers: Age of Ultron in John & Rachel's Trips to the Cinema

    A lot of people didn't think this movie was great but I think that is due to how much hype it had. I really loved the first Avengers movie and thought this one was still very good, though perhaps the first was still better - the bar was set pretty high. Tons and tons of action and some funny scenes. Felt they could have done a bit more with Jarvis 2.0 after building it up so much. Overall still a great movie IMHO!

  • First trip to Singapore in Best John & Aeran Memories

    Thanks for visiting so soon after I came back to Singapore! It was only like what, a few weeks after graduation? We had no idea you'd eventually move out to Asia and come out like every other month :)

  • Red Velvet Lava Cake w/ Ice Cream in Fantastic Lava Cakes at Ngee Ann City

    Loved that It was served warm and oozy - you know it's gonna be good when you cut off a side and the gooey insides flow out all over the plate. First time having red velvet flavored lava cake, I'm a huge fan of regular chocolate lava cakes but this combination is definitely a winner for those with a big sweet tooth. Goes well with the coconut ice cream too!

  • Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies in My Favorite Sweet Tooth Indulgences

    Milano Cookies are a great way to treat myself to something special. I'm not sure if its due to being a bit costlier or because the cookies seem 'classy', but I usually force myself to stop after having 2 or 3 pieces, which is rare when it comes to sweets. Its not that I don't want more - I can easily finish a pack (15 biscuits) in a sitting - but rather I want to save some to look forward to have the next day. Definitely a favorite since childhood.

  • Java Chip Frappe @ Starbucks in My Favorite Sweet Tooth Indulgences

    I'm not a coffee person but oh do I love my frozen, sweet, chocolatey drinks. The Java Chip Frappe at Starbucks is my go-to choice for getting in the mood, be it a breakfast replacement or after-meal indulgement. Love the mix of chocolate flavor, whipped cream, and little chocolate chunks to chew on.

  • Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream in My Favorite Sweet Tooth Indulgences

    The ice cream here is seriously perfect, especially the Chocolate Devotion. Love the sticky texture and how the mixins compliment the flavor. Definitely for the sweet-tooth and non-calorie shy folks, but if you're gonna give yourself a treat, nothing else can compare.

  • Dim Sum @ Cuisine Cuisine, IFC in My Favorite Hong Kong Food

    Every dish here was truly delicious. We've all had the staple dim sum dishes countless times, but something about the quality and taste here made the food here really stand out. Couple that with a great setting and amazing view, you really can't beat having a nice afternoon lunch at Cuisine Cuisine to soak in all that Hong Kong has to offer.

  • Get Hard in John & Rachel's Trips to the Cinema

    Funny movie! Love the good ole American humor. I definitely laughed pretty hard at some scenes, though it is super odd to see Will Ferrell play the role of an intelligent person. Watch out for the penis!!
