    Yishun Has Wholesale Baking Store Where Home Bakers Can Get Giant Nutella & Peanut Butter

    Yishun Wholesale Baking Supplies Store Is For All Home Bakers Out There

    During the Covid-19 period, the number of home bakers has substantially increased as people looked for new hobbies & employment while stuck indoors.

    But some saw enough success with their home-baked creations to sell them to others, fuelling a rising industry.

    As any budding home baker might know, baking in batches requires plentiful ingredients, and not everyone knows where to get the gargantuan amounts needed to fulfil orders for, say, 120 people.

    Look no further than this store in the heart of Yishun, with all the baking goodies & supplies you’ll ever need, in industry sizes.

    Within this store tucked in a HDB block is shelves and shelves of home baking supplies, including ingredients and tools.

    For example, there’s all the Nutella you could ever need or want.

    The Nutella tubs are huge enough that you can even bathe yourself in it, she quips.

    There’s also giant peanut butter tubs – which are creamy – at $20 per tub.

    Source

    Making great cookies, of course, requires a boatload of butter. Weight watchers may want to stay away from this area.

    Source

    Flour, sugar, and halal chocolates are also available.

    Special tools for baking needs

    Any home baking enterprise requires bottles for their baked goodies, and of course the supplies store has this.

    Source

    Some desserts like cupcakes require specialised trays to get those calories into your bloodstream too, so if you’re thinking of cupcakes for, say, a classroom of kids, this is where you can get them too.

    Source

    They also stock vanilla essence, flour and vegetable oil.

    Source

    And if you just want to have something sweet immediately, they even have soft-serve ice cream.

    One-stop store for home bakers

    Whether you’re starting out on Instagram with your friends and family as your clientele, or a successful baker with too many orders to fulfil, N Supplies in Yishun can be that one-stop store for you.

    N Supplies Wholesale Baking

    S’pore Nightclubs To Let Up To 100 People In, Only Residents & Work Pass Holders May Enter

    Singapore Nightclubs To Allow Up To 100 People & Karaoke Lounges For Groups Of 5 Inside Rooms

    Shopping and eating to our hearts’ content may be enough to keep many of us happy, but some need a different outlet to let loose. Frequent patrons of karaoke lounges and nightclubs will thus be happy to know that they’ll be welcoming people again soon.

    Source

    As part of the pilot programme, up to 100 people will be able to enter nightclubs and groups of 5 may share 1 karaoke room.

    This is on top of the previous safe management measures the Singapore Nightlife Businesss Association announced earlier on 6 Nov.

    Here’s what nightlife junkies can look forward to.

    Nightclubs to split people into zones of 50

    Sweaty bodies in a crowded room may be the usual scene at clubs, but the current pandemic will see a slight change to that.

    The few clubs reopening in the programme will have to allow only a maximum of 100 people at any one time, reports Channel NewsAsia (CNA).

    Source

    They will then split patrons further into 2 separate zones of 50, which will have dining and dancing areas each.

    There will, however, be no live music or performances.

    Only local residents & Work Pass holders allowed

    In addition to the separate zones, the pilot reopening also entails the following safe management measures:

    • negative Covid-19 test within the past 24 hours to gain entry
    • mandatory wearing of masks
    • keeping a safe distance of 2m between groups (indicated by markings & barriers)

    Source

    Before fulfilling the above criteria, patrons must first have to be local residents or Work Pass holders, reports The Straits Times (ST).

    Those on business or official visits here will thus be unable to enter nightspots.

    Up to 5 per group in each karaoke room

    Likewise, the above criteria apply to karaoke lounge patrons too.

    The only difference is that individual rooms within the lounges may allow up to 5 people in a group. They may eat and drink inside, after which the rooms will be disinfected 15 minutes before the next session.

    According to CNA, the following number of entertainment venues will be reopening:

    • 10 pubs & bars
    • 10 karaoke lounges
    • 5 nightclubs

    While the pilot for pubs and bars will begin in Dec and last for 2 months, karaoke lounges and nightclubs will only reopen in Jan 2021 as they need more time to prepare.

    The Jan 2021 reopening will likely last for 3 months if risks remain low, so brace yourselves for that.

    Partake in social activities safely & responsibly

    Though this latest update beckons more exciting things to look forward to as the new year approaches, we should remember that the pandemic is still far from over.

    With Phase 3 possibly lasting for a long time, we can expect many precautionary measures to stay in place or even be tightened.

    Regardless, let’s embrace the changes while adhering to the rules, to ensure that we all remain safe and can resume normal life eventually.

    Dog Café In Seletar Lets You Sip Coffee & Watch Cute Canines Run Free On The Lawn

    Dog Café In Seletar Aerospace Park Has Daycare, Grooming & Training Services

    Doggos make for wonderful companions at home. But not everyone has the means to keep one. For wistful animal lovers who can only admire from afar, going to pet-friendly eateries is the next best thing.

    Tucked away in the lifestyle enclave of Seletar Aerospace Park, is a dog café that just opened its doors earlier this year.

    Enter Chow Cute, a colonial-style doggo haven that quadruples as a café, dog grooming salon, pet hotel, and a daycare centre for busy fur parents.

    Source

    We are already loving the supremely punny name, which means “super cute” in Chinese. Let’s take a look at what they have to offer.

    Colonial-style dog café in Seletar Aerospace Park

    From the outside, Chow Cute is an elegant, colonial-style sanctuary where a pack of doggos reside within.

    Source

    After all, they have a glorious lawn to have fun on, situated conveniently close to the outdoor sitting area.

    Source

    As the name Chow Cute suggests, you can expect to see Chow Chows frolicking about, like this one.

    Source

    These 2 doggos seem to be enjoying each other’s company a lot, as they look this close to snuggling in the picture.

    Source

    Tasteful minimalist interiors

    Inside, you can tell that the owners have stayed true to the essence of the building’s heritage. The décor looks tastefully done to complement the colonial exterior.

    Source

    Chow Cute evidently pays homage to its branding as well in the design — just look at the cute Chow Chow motifs decking the walls.

    Source

    To complete the experience, opt for a hot cuppa joe and pastries so you can chill out and watch cute canines lepak with you.

    Source

    You can have a look at their menu here.

    Grooming & pet boarding services available

    Other than the café, pet owners will have more reasons to visit this animal sanctuary with these services offered:

    • Grooming
    • Pet boarding
    • Daycare
    • Dog training

    This doggo, for example, is getting pampered with collagen treatment that helps moisturise and promote healthy fur growth.

    Source

    There are minimalist glass columns near the café’s exit, likely for doggos who are sent here for pet boarding and grooming.

    Source

    Looks like your furkids will be in good hands. Here’s how to get there:

    Chow Cute SG
    Address: 16 The Oval, Seletar Aerospace Park, 797873
    Opening hours: Tuesdays to Sundays, 10am-10pm
    Phone number: 69747916
    Email: info[at]chowcute.com
    Nearest MRT station: Yishun

    Great place to chill out with your pet

    Chow Cute looks like a wonderful choice for dog owners who love dining out with their pets. If you’re one of them and feel like you’re running out of pet-friendly places to visit, consider dropping by Chow Cute.

    Even though the place is quite far up in the north, seeing adorable, cheerful Chow Chows make friends with your pet will be worth it.

    Whether you’re a dog owner or not, there’s something for every animal lover here.

    IKEA S’pore To Close Physical & Online Stores Overnight, Check Out Your Items By 9pm

    IKEA Singapore Closes Physical & Online Stores Overnight For Upgrading Works

    IKEA is a popular choice for homeowners because of the easy-to-assemble furniture. However, Singaporeans will be unable to buy from both their physical and online stores for about 18 hours, as they close for upgrading works.

    IKEA will be shuttering their Tampines and Alexandra outlets from 9pm tonight (9 Nov) to 3pm tomorrow (10 Nov). Furthermore, online checkout will be unavailable for the same amount of time.

    IKEA closeSource

    The Scandinavian furniture chain says upgrading works will be taking place during the store closure, so they can serve customers better.

    IKEA to close online & physical purchases briefly

    In a Facebook post, IKEA Singapore shared that it will close physical stores and the online checkout function from 9pm today (9 Nov) till 3pm tomorrow (10 Nov).

    IKEA closeSource

    However it says customers can still browse their online catalogue for inspiration.

    The furniture brand hasn’t shared about what kind of upgrading works will be taking place.

    But considering the reason for the closure, we do hope that they’ll be able to achieve that and provide us with an even more seamless shopping experience.

    Save your IKEA food run for Tuesday evening

    On top of furniture shopping, many of us brave long queues at the IKEA restaurants for the affordable Scandinavian food fare.

    Their meatballs are no doubt the most popular item, but sadly with physical stores only reopening from 3pm tomorrow, you’ll have to reschedule your lunch plans.

    IKEA restaurantSource

    At least there’s still dinner later that evening, if you’re still craving their Swedish menu really badly.

    Let’s hope that the queues won’t be insanely long then, since it’s a weeknight after all.

    S’pore’s Atlas Is 4th Best Bar In The World, Gives Us Something To Cheers To

    Atlas Ranks 4th Place In World’s Best Bars List, 3 Other Local Bars Make Top 50

    The Covid-19 pandemic has quashed many Singaporeans’ dreams of year-end holidays, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good time right here on our shores.

    Atlas, a popular local bar, has recently been ranked 4th in the 2020’s World’s Best Bars list.

    Source

    This is 4 spots up from last year’s 8th place ranking.

    Atlas bar ranks 4th place, moving up 4 spots

    2020 has been a tough year for most businesses, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t getting recognised.

    Atlas bar, located at Parkview Square, has been ranked the 4th best bar in the world.

    Source

    This is up 4 spots from what they were ranked last year.

    It is also the top-ranking bar in Asia, beating out Coa in Hong Kong and The SG Club in Tokyo, reported The Straits Times (ST).

    Atlas 4thSource

    Atlas bar is renowned for its impressive 1,400 bottle gin collection and grandiose aesthetic.

    It certainly is a sight to behold while you sip on a cup of gin at the end of the day.

    Jigger & Pony ranks #9 in list

    Jigger & Pony, another local bar, also broke into the top 10 of World’s 50 Best Bars list, coming in at 9th place.

    Atlas 4thSource

    There might still be a gulf between them Atlas, but they’ve come a long way, climbing a whopping 20 spots since last year.

    The bar has seen great success this year, also clinching 1st place in Asia’s 50 Best Bars list back in May.

    Jigger & Pony at Amara Hotel has a wide selection of 24 unique cocktails which feature both classics and some with an added Asian twist.

    Atlas 4thSource

    In light of the Covid-19 pandemic, the bar even offers delivery services so customers can enjoy their cocktails from the comfort of their own homes.

    Local bars Manhattan and Native also make the list

    The 2020 edition of The World’s 50 Best Bars results were announced in a virtual countdown livestream on Thursday (5 Nov).

    Top spots in the list were clinched by Connaught Bar in London, Dante in New York, and The Clumsies in Athens, Greece.

    Notably on the list are local bars Manhattan at 14th place and Native at 18th place.

    However, not all bars have been able to withstand the punishing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Operation Dagger, which previously ranked 30th in the list has shuttered up on 31 Oct.

    Singapore nightlife is raising the bar

    The nightlife scene in Singapore is certainly raising the bar on expectations.

    New Clementi Kopitiam Has Western Food, Satay & Seafood, Another Lepak Spot For Westies

    New Clementi Kopitiam Has 9 Stalls Offering Different Hawker Fares

    Easties constantly boast about having the best food in Singapore, but come December, Westies might have a stronger case when it comes to which side is best.

    Kedai Kopi, a kopitiam in Clementi, is a collaboration between Tenderfresh Group and Kimly Coffeeshop that will likely change the food landscape in the Western region of Singapore.

    Though it is only slated to open next month, Kedai Kopi took to Facebook on Wednesday (4 Nov) to give Westies a glimpse of what they can expect. Best of all, every stall at the kopitiam will be halal or Muslim-owned, so you can lepak there with your Muslim friends.

    Source

    Here are some stalls that we think will be our favourites.

    Tenderfresh offers juicy fried chicken

    According to the post, Kedai Kopi will house 9 stalls. Each selling different dishes, customers will likely have a difficult choice of deciding which stall to patronise.

    Top on our list is Tenderbest, which is arguably a famous fried chicken institution in Singapore.

    Source

    Having been around since 1979, the chain’s juicy fried chicken has apparently raked up a large following.

    Source

    Authentic nasi padang adored by lunch crowds

    Another stall that we anticipate being a crowd favourite is Istimewa Nasi Padang, which as its name suggests, serves white rice with a variety of delectable side dishes.

    Source

    Apart from our colleagues at Eatbook, hungry workers on their lunch breaks are notoriously known for being some of the harshest food critics.

    Yet, the Bukit Merah nasi padang stall is apparently a hot favourite among “taxi drivers, foodies and corporates“, which surely is an indication of just how good their food are.

    Source

    380 Nasi Lemak will make your rethink the coconut dish

    With aromatic rice and crispy chicken wing, nasi lemak is a dish that’s almost impossible to hate.

    The new kopitiam will also see the launch of 380 Nasi Lemak, a collaboration between Nasi Coco and Tenderfresh.

    Folks from Nasi Coco had previously brought a fresh take on the dish by boldly introducing Japanese tempura. 

    Nasi Coco’s stall at NEWest
    Source

    Our colleagues recommend going for the Nasi Coco Supreme, which comes with a myriad of different tempuras. 

    Source

    New kopitiam is a 6-minute walk from Clementi MRT

    The new kopitiam occupies 5,000 square feet, and can seat up to 144 patrons.

    Here’s the full list of stalls as well as what they will be selling:

    • Tenderbest — Western food as well as fried & roasted chicken
    • Mr Teh Tarik Group — roti prata, nasi briyani & a variety of Indian dishes
    • Istimewa Nasi Padang — nasi padang
    • Hawkermen Street Kitchen — fusion Singaporean hawker fare
    • 380 Nasi Lemak — nasi lemak
    • Mee Bagus — noodles
    • Joy Satay — satay
    • Banana Grill — BBQ seafood & tze char
    • Kedai Kopi — drinks

    The coffeeshop is located near Clementi Community Club and a 6-minute walk away from Clementi MRT.

    Here’s what we know about the kopitiam at the time of writing.

    Kedai Kopi
    Address:     380 Clementi Ave 5, Singapore 120380
    Nearest MRT station: Clementi

    Kedai Kopi is expected to open come mid-December, and all stalls will be required to be either “100% Muslim owned” or must be in the midst of acquiring a halal certification.

    New hangout spot at Clementi

    If you and your friends frequently lepak around the neighbourhood of Clementi, Kedai Kopi could very well be your new hangout spot when it opens.

    Though it has not officially launched at the time of writing, we’re already salivating at the thought of the myriad of food that the stalls will be offering.

    S’porean Visited Chernobyl 2 Years Ago, Brought Back Images Of Radioactive Ghost Town

    Singaporean Visited Chernobyl 2 Years Ago, Images Show Stark Contrast To Our Sunny Island

    With travel restrictions in place, avid travellers are limited to re-discovering our island nation or looking back on travel memories.

    Thankfully, the virtual world has offered alternative forms of escape for us, through visuals captured by other travellers.

    Chris Anderson, a Singaporean who visited the radioactive ghost town of Chernobyl in Ukraine, shared his travel memories of the town with us.

    He went on a guided tour that explored the desolation left in the wake of the 1986 meltdown of the No.4 reactor of Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

    Singaporean visited Chernobyl in 2018

    The 24-year old first encountered Chernobyl in the form of a video game map when he was 12. To his surprise, he found that the ghost town was real after a Google search.

    12 years later, he packed his bags to join a tour into the 2,600 km2 Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. He described the place as surreal, like reliving a part of his childhood.

    Chernobyl Image courtesy of Chris Anderson

    Visitors were required to wear long-sleeved clothes as protection against lingering radiation. This is a hint of the tragic nuclear disaster that caused the town’s evacuation.

    The leftover radiation was present in the town’s vegetation. Even an apple registered as radioactive.

    Desolation after a man-made disaster

    Sights within the radiation zone unveiled Chernobyl’s unfortunate history.

    The rusting ferris wheel at Pripyat Amusement Park loomed over passing tourists.

    One can imagine that families used to enjoy a beautiful view atop it.

    However, a bleak landscape was the dominant sight across Chernobyl during Chris’ visit.

    The town square was overgrown with thick foliage while wild animals roamed free.

    The town was certainly a shadow of its former glory.

    FoxImage courtesy of Chris Anderson

    With barely any human traffic, nature is free to reclaim the land slowly but surely.

    Common town amenities stripped bare

    Along with the evacuated residents, most of the furnishings within buildings such as shopping malls have been stripped.

    Emptied decades ago, a swimming pool was filled with graffiti left by trespassers.

    These pictures allow a glimpse of life before the meltdown at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which took 31 lives and spread radiation to neighbouring countries, reports Time Magazine.

    Nuclear plantChernobyl Nuclear Power Plant
    Image courtesy of Chris Anderson

    National Geographic says the surrounding area remains uninhabitable for up to 20,000 years due to the radiation.

    A stark contrast to bustling Singapore

    Reflecting on his experience, Chris shared that he felt privileged living in Singapore. Despite its ups and downs, our garden city remains one of the safest and most peaceful countries that one can live in.

    All in all, a walk around Chernobyl gave him a more wholesome appreciation of being alive.

    We couldn’t agree more and hope that such a tragedy will never befall another nation.

    S’porean Hikes For 5 Months Along US Coast & Captures Priceless Nat-Geo-Worthy Pics

    Singaporean Hikes 4,265km Along US Coast, Documents 5-Month Journey In Nat-Geo-Worthy Pics

    With travel restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic, Singaporeans have been heading to the great outdoors to satisfy their wanderlust. Kenneth Koh, a local hiking enthusiast, took on the 4,265km US Pacific Crest Trail on foot in 2018.

    Hiked along US coastSource

    He’s the 2nd Singaporean to complete the trail, but his pictures of breathtaking landscapes may inspire more of us to take on this gruelling adventure.

    You may need to save 5 months of leave though.

    Singaporean hikes for 5 months along US coast

    In his YouTube photo montage of the journey, Kenneth shared that completing the Pacific Crest Trail was one of the most fulfilling experiences of his life.

    He started the 4,265km journey at the Mexican border and worked towards the Canadian border.

    Hiked US coastSource

    The journey meant traversing deserts…

    scaling mountains…

    and exploring forests….

    ForestSource

    One would usually encounter these environments on multiple overseas trips, but Kenneth saw it all along the Pacific Crest Trail.

    The hike which started on 7 Apr and ended on 7 Sep 2018, took him 153 days, which is just about 5 months.

    According to Kenneth, he walked an average of 28km a day and climbed a total elevation of 149,000m — that’s like climbing the height of Mount Everest 17 times.

    Icy mountainSource

    On his back were his clothes and belongings, nutrition, shelter and a trusty camera.

    This hike is no walk in the park and would have required an immense amount of preparation and mental fortitude.

    Pacific Crest Trail covers 3 US states

    According to the US Forest Service, the Pacific Crest Trail covers the states of California, Oregon and Washington.

    Google mapSource

    The trail is enjoyed by hikers and horse riders. Some may choose to travel a few kilometres to catch scenic spots while others have chosen to experience every inch of it in one season.

    Source

    In case you are planning to take on the Pacific Crest Trail yourself, REI Co-op says the trip would take some serious planning and budgeting.

    The hike may cost around S$5,500 to S$10,900 to complete depending on the gear you bring, your daily expenses, on top of a contingency fund.

    GearSource

    This is understandable as some of us may choose to rough it out at campsites while others may splurge on the occasional AirBnB.

    campingSource

    Shopping, however, will be out of the equation. There doesn’t seem to be any malls along the way anyway.

    Inspiration for avid hikers

    Kenneth’s Walter Mitty-esque journey is an inspiration for avid hikers and weekend warriors alike.

    SignageSource

    It’s no small feat to plug out of the working world to take on this gruelling journey. But there is much to enjoy on a trip like this, such as exploring grand sights and making new friends.

    For us, the Pacific Crest Trail is now on our bucket list. The only question left is whether we mere mortals can match Kenneth’s amazing feat.

    Crowds Pay Last Visit To Robinsons Before It Closes Forever In S’pore

    Robinsons Outlets See Crowds & Queues Form After It Announces Closure In Singapore

    News that Robinsons will close its last remaining stores in Singapore has left Singaporeans shook. While perhaps inevitable due to the economic recession brought about by Covid-19, the news is still hard to take for many.

    Crowds hence decided to make a last visit to Robinsons’ 2 stores before they shut forever, both yesterday (30 Oct) and today (31 Oct).

    It’s perhaps quite bittersweet that Robinsons stores are only crowded now when they’ve been sparse the past few months.

    Robinsons stores fill with crowds after news of closing

    Robinsons announced the closure of their remaining stores in Heeren and Raffles City on 30 Oct.

    Queues were then spotted forming outside the outlets, even before closing hours at 7.10pm — as can be seen from this video taken by a Channel NewsAsia (CNA) reporter.

    These are probably the first queues Robinsons has seen all year, sadly.

    The situation today was the same as well, with queues forming to enter.

    The queue stretches for a considerable distance, partly due to safe distancing.

    There was also a sizable crowd inside on both days, as a netizen on Twitter shows.

    There’s barely even enough space to safely distance, although everyone’s trying their best.

    There are no discounts to be had, and many shelves are empty as retailers have packed their goods.

    Mix of nostalgia and necessity in going back to Robinsons

    Many will fondly remember the days when they shopped in Robinsons. There’s a storied history behind Robinsons after all, spanning 162 years.

    However, there might also be a practical reason as to why shoppers are flocking back — they might have unused gift vouchers left over.

    In light of this fact, it’s perhaps unsurprising why there’s a crowd.

    Regardless, one netizen describes the scene as sombre when he paid a visit to the store in Heeren.

    The half-empty shelves might have something to do with that.

    Goodbye, and thanks for all the goods

    Robinsons has survived 2 world wars and several disasters, including SARS. Who’d have thought that it’d be Covid-19 that laid the final nail in the coffin.

    Hopefully everyone gets to use up their leftover vouchers before Robinsons shuts its doors for good.
