Orchard Road is Packed

The overtime shoppers come out on the weekends.

Christmas Macarons

The snacks are starting to get festive.

Jerónimos Monastery

Brisket Platter @ LYMA

Their portion sizes leave more to be desired, but the brisket itself is terrific. Still worth trying one of their spots throughout Jakarta. If you’re a big eater, order more brisket for a satisfying lunch!

Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba

Fish Egg Croissant

For once, I actually didn’t try this.

Sydney Seagull

It’s deciding which dinner table to go “MINE!” over.

Hanu Beef @ Jinmi Eonyang Bulgogi

Great place for a nosh after strolling through the nearby beach area. If going in the cold, ensure your jackets are well away from the smoke, otherwise it’ll stink up real bad. XD

Raspberry and blackberry summer pudding with crème fraîche

Taken onboard a Qantas flight.

Ticket Cutter

I miss the charm of the old ticket cutting machines at arcades. Bringing that pile of tickets gained from weeks/months of grinding on various games and watching all that go into a shredder and incrementing a number to see whether you can actually get that big prize you were gunning for. Sure, there’s still a few places with these machines, but almost all of them are self-service at this point, while the rest just digitally add the tickets straight to your card. Some games even digitally add it at the same pace as the paper ticket dispensing, making it extra boring. Oh, this got me a Mickey Mouse backpack which I still kept to this day, though I’m not sure whether its a counterfeit or not (it feels really cheap but at the same time has a Disney hologram and licensing info so idk).
