We wonder how ...

Who are the Honeycombers?
05 January 2012
There is something wonderful about a new year... New ideas, new aspirations, new plans and fresh starts.
So something we have been meaning to share with our audience for a while is some more about us - the honeycombers gals, and a new year is a perfect time to start.
If you have wondered who we are, our favourite secret places in Singapore and what we like to drink, we're happy to share - especially if your buying!

Champagne
What is Singapore's best kept secret?
I am not sure if it is still a secret, but I do love the breakfast and coffee at The Plain Café in Craig Road. As you can see, breakfast is very important to me!

Contributor: Aimee Chan
Busy Aimee writes for a number of publications, and with her magazine background (where we first met Aimee) she yields a mean pen (or keypad per say).

Favourite Saturday in Singapore? Family outing somewhere, nap, then a date night at a delicious restaurant
Champagne or martini? Champagne no question
What is Singapore's best kept secret? People will help you out and are willing to give you a chance. It's a small place, so once you find your people (at work or socially) it's easy to make your way.
Blog or tweet? I'm old fashioned and don't really do either. I'd prefer to catch up over a coffee or a glass of wine.
Dream occupation? Luxury travel writer - only reviewing five and six star resorts around the world! (Yes, it is a total fantasy)

Where is home? London and Singapore.
What were you doing before this? I was escaping London's January chill at a snugly local pub.
Favourite spot in Singapore?
I have been going to Samy's curry house in Dempsey Hill since I was a little girl. Set in a historic old club, the best spot is out on the terrace - order a Tiger beer or a lime juice and wait for staff to come round and slop delicious mounds of curry onto your banana leaf!
Favourite Saturday in Singapore?
Taking my little nephew to Jurong Bird Park.
Champagne or martini?
Champagne.
What is Singapore's best kept secret?
Sembawang Park in the north with its old naval bases and views of Malaysia. It is a very Malay area, little visited by tourists, and it gives you a flavour of what Singapore used to be like. On the weekends you can get a great insight into a less flashy side of Singapore as lots of families pitch up on this scruffy little beach to have barbecues.
Current occupation?
Freelance travel writer and marketing.
Dream occupation?
To open a Singaporean hawker food restaurant in London!
So there you have it!
