The Art of the Brick

 This is the first major museum exhibition to use LEGO bricks as the only art medium, and all the exhibits are created by New York-based artist Nathan Sawaya ( : The Art of the Brick exhibition at the ArtScience Museum will be the biggest yet, showcasing 52 of these LEGO sculptures!! Highlights to look out for: the iconic sculpture Yellow, a 6-meter long T-rex dinosaur skeleton, and a sculpture of the ArtScience Musuem itself ( :

The exhibition has been open since 17 November last year, and will still be around until 26 May this year!! It's been extended so hurry go and visit it ( : We'll be finding a time to go soon as well, especially since we've heard such good reviews from other people!! ( :


All details listed here and more can be found here. Tickets can be purchased on the ArtScience Museum website and all Marina Bay Sands box offices.

Have fun!! xx ( :

Marine Life Park: S.E.A. Aquarium

This is the newer, much bigger version of the Underwater World, so we've heard ( : It's home to more than 800 species of marine animals, including manta rays, sea jelly, and over 200 shark species. Learn more about the aquarium's different zones and highlights here! It really is a very pretty place (10 zones in 49 habitats), and it's fascinating to learn about all the creatures under the sea and see them up close! We  really recommend it, especially if you're finding somewhere to go on a date ( : x

Pssst: While you're there, you might want to check out the nearby Adventure Cove Waterpark, also part of the Marine Life Park in RWS! ( : A one-day pass (Adult) costs $29 too, and if you're planning to visit both the S.E.A. Aquarium and the Adventure Cove Waterpark there are multi-park passes available! Check out the website for more details ( :

Charly T's
We popped by Charly T's just last week, not expecting that much but being very pleasantly surprised ( : They specialize in their famous rotisserie chicken, and also serve a variety of wraps, soups and salads.
We went to their new outlet in the gorgeous i12 Katong, which is also home to other amazing food and dessert places - like the Max Brenner Chocolate Bar & Baci Italian Cafe, both of which we are still waiting to try (soon!) ( :

Here's what we had:

The Original Recipe for their rotisserie chicken! We ordered a quarter  chicken + 2 additions ($13) ( : This is what they call their most famous - and rightfully so! It was seasoned to perfection and very fleshy! The dips at the side were really unique and tasty (though we couldn't for the life of us figure out what they  were)

And our two add-ons: German Potato Salad and Macaroni & Cheese! These were really yum ( :

Chicken Wrap + Garlic Butter Rice ($12.50)

Molten Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream ($9)

Our verdict: Definitely worth it! The food was good and affordable, and the service was impeccable ( :
It's a wonderful place to go to have a lunch or dinner and catch up with a friend!

Here are the details:
Where: i12 Katong, #03-15 or Level 1 NOMU (Beside The Cathay)
Opening Hours: 10am to 10pm

Check out their website for their full menu and more!
Hope you have a yummy meal if you do decide to go! x

Naked Dining & Bar
Located not too far off from i12, next to where Everything with Fries used to be!
This is a great, fancy-looking place for dinner - really posh and all ( :
And the food is really, really good - all our dishes came with professional presentation and plating, and wonderful quality, yet not priced too exorbitantly  We think their prize is truly their chefs, and we're excited to come back and try more dishes again! The only thing we weren't overly psyched about was their service (it's hard to get their attention), but we closed one eye because the food was superb + they don't charge for service so ( :

Here are some (albeit not so high-quality) pictures - you really must try them out for yourself!

Truffle fries ( : ($12) One can never go wrong with truffle fries! These were amazing x

Prawn Risotto ($19) Loved the risotto so so much, super cheesy and rich ( :

Lava cake with vanilla ice cream ($12) We loved how runny the chocolate lava was - the runnier the better ( :

These are what we had for dinner (+ mushroom soup, $8, not pictured) - but there's plenty more to try, like their Pan-seared Barramundi and Hand-pulled Pork Belly! They have a monthly set dinner ($30 net per person) as well, with Amuse Bouche (a small little palate teaser specially from the chef), Soup, a Starter, a Main Course of choice, and Dessert ( :

All in all, a great place for a fancy dinner or supper when you're craving gourmet food!
Here are the details:

Where: 454/456 Joo Chiat Road
Opening Hours: 6pm to 11pm
