There are plenty of food outlets and restaurants along East Coast Road but this one in particular is my favourite. An old-school eatery with absolutely no-frills, from the interior to the food they serve. They only sell Niang Tou Fu (primarily tofu and vegetables stuffed with ground meat mixture or fish paste) here which is only SGD 70 cents per piece and sour plum drink, both homemade I think. Would highly recommend the crispy deep fried beancurd and add the chilli paste if you like it spicy. Do not expect top-notch service here though, after all its no-frills.

Favorite brunch in Greenpoint. Get the caesar salad, the salmon gravlax, tortilla and pancakes. You can do no wrong.

Getaway not far from the city. Nice beach, surreal pool. Next to Fire Island (which is also super nice).

De Studio is the creative headquarters of Antwerp, where people can be spectator and artist at the same time. You can come here for dance, theater and interesting parties. 

The most grammed place in Queenstown and a short drive from the city centre. The spa has a retractable roof that you can open and look out onto Arthur's Pass.

La tour Eiffel / Eiffel Tower Secret Place A hallmark of modern architecture the iconic Parisian landmark, was constructed with latticed wrought iron. World's Fair — of 1889. It was constructed to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution and to demonstrate France's industrial prowess to the world. 

A go to spot for me that is close to home! Place image not by me

Eccentric and surprising house and museum of architect Sir John Soane. Mostly unchanged since his death over 180 years ago, it is full of atmosphere. Also have spotlit, late night openings.  

Basheer Design Books is a unique design book store specializes in selling design books and magazines on Architecture, Interior, Graphic, Advertising, Fashion, Illustration, Photography, Multimedia, Movie, Art and much more.

I love visiting places that offer a totally different idea of urbanity and experimental concepts for urban (mass) housing. The Wohnpark Alterlaa, built from 1973–1985, is such a project. Hop on the subway to get there and I recommend that you take an extended walk through the area and the surrounding park.

It's such an iconic building and it's always a joy to be anywhere near it. It just dominates the landscape around it. Ever since I first saw the cover of Pink Floyd's Animals I've loved it and I still do. There are always reports in the news for plans for developers to spend billions on refurbishing it. I'd genuinely prefer it to remain as it is rather than see it being turned it into a massive shopping centre full of chain stores. The thought of it being turned into some kind of Westfield full of people on Facebook on their laptops in a Starbucks fills me with rage.

I didn't expect much from NAMOC when I first visited to be honest, but most of the exhibitions I've seen here have blown me away. Themes have varied from the art of Chinese shadow puppetry to abstract paintings from Taiwan, and even socially responsible design.
