Well Collective Brings Pet-Friendly Holistic Cafe Vibes to Sleepy Punggol

If there’s any apt descriptor for the sleepy neighbourhood of Punggol, hidden in the far North-Eastern corner of Singapore, it’s “young BTO estate filled with young couples”. Given that reputation, I have growing bewilderment towards the void of trendy brunch spots in the area. Well, the new pet-friendly Well Collective fits just the profile.

live twice bar review

Live Twice is a Chic Bar with Dreamy Japanese Vibes, Sandos & Elegant Tipples

A narrow pathway led inward. Slightly cramped and dimly lit. Four steps in, eyes get arrested by glimpses of a soft tangerine glow spilling in from the right. Dignified wooden counters rest slightly above the waist, bathing in a warmth wafted by gentle overhanging lights. You’ve arrived at Live Twice. Continue reading “Live Twice”

Unadulterated Modern Japanese Fun at omu Nomu’s Cosy Sake Bar Space

An “authentic” Izakaya experience almost certainly entails a few things — comforting and gratifying bites, carafes of sake, and rowdy Japanese salarymen. But what if you want a different kind of Izakaya service? You visit Omu Nomu.
