Italian Pastries...mamma mia!

Traditional pastries, cakes and tarts made by an Italian pastry chef. Met the chef personally and tried a sample--loved it and bought on the spot. Next person tries another, does the same. Tastes so authentic, I grew up with 3 Italian bakeries on one block.

Don't Get Lost in SG--Use gothere.sg

Going somewhere? Try gothere.sg -- an innovative online map developed for Singapore.  Get directions going from one place to another via car, bus, mrt, taxi or a combination of public transportation. It also gives the approximate distance, time & fare, together with ERPs and peak hour surcharges. What's more, it also has a street view to let you glimpse exactly what to see and expect! The interface is slick and very user-friendly. Go and try lah, can?
