Cheap bars, evening dresses, essential Keong Saik, national celebration tips and more; join us as we reminisce some of our proudest moments at HC.
As we draw closer to the year-end, it’s about time to do some self-reflection and look back on the stories that you’ve loved over the year (thanks for reading!). Before we welcome a brand new year, let’s revisit our top 10 stories for 2015.
When you wanted a good ol’ Sunday brunch
You guys seem to have really liked our guide to top 10 brunches in Singapore. Then again, it’s hard to resist a good brunch meal, especially when it is from Luxe, The Lokal or Ronin.
When you wanted a cheap tipple
The top favourite is our boozy guide to cheap bars in Singapore. From best happy hour beers to wallet-friendly cocktails, we’re glad to have shared our list of watering holes like FIVE五 Izakaya Bar and Wala Wala, which offer alcoholic concoctions without having to burn a hole in our pocket. Cheers!
When you wanted an affordable vacay
Another hit with our readers was our travel guide to 10 cheapest places to fly from Singapore. What’s more? This guide also provides the best and cheapest month to travel to Seoul, Bali, Hong Kong, Melbourne and more. How handy!
When you wanted to look like a stunner
It seems like evening dress was a fashion must-have for 2015, as our shopping guide to evening dresses in Singapore is incessantly on ‘viral mode’, particularly during festive seasons. From having your very own dress from Willow & Huxley to renting one from Rent A Dress, we’ve got you covered.
When you wanted to face the world with confidence
As 80% of our readers are female, it is unsurprising that our round up of best facials in Singapore skyrocketed for a significant period of time. After trying out different types of facial treatments – from hydrating to anti-aging ones, we’ve to say that we’re a fan of Dr. Yvonne Goh Aesthetics’ in-clinic facial.
When you wanted to hop onto the truffle fries craze
Also, ever since the truffle fries craze took over Singapore, our guide to best truffle fries in Singapore became the go-to guide for our readers to search, high and low, for this decadent grub. If you ask us, it’s definitely a showdown between SPRMRKT’s and P.S Café’s.
When you wanted to know what’s hot in Keong Saik
’Twas definitely fun zipping around Keong Saik in the gorgeous Audi A1 Sportback, as we revisited the uber hip Chinatown street which has seen new cool restaurants like Potato Head Folk and Lollapalooza, bars like Neon Pigeon and 31 Bar & Kitchen, and shops like The Buckhouse Refinery this year.
When you wanted to get better acquainted with Bedok
At HC headquarters, there’s an ongoing tiff between Easties and Westies over which is the better hood. From the looks of it, the odds are in favour of HC Easties representatives as our guide to Bedok was highly clicked and seen by readers. With Percolate, Badoque, Forest Adventure, Cash Studio and Bedok Marketplace in Bedok, what’s there not to like about the neighbourhood?
When you wanted to know how to embrace SG50
Not sure about you, but it’s still hard for us to imagine that the Golden Jubilee year is finally ending. Still, we’re thrilled to know that our ultimate guide to Singapore National Day 2015 has been somewhat of a help to our readers during the long SG50 weekend break. Hope that you had a good spot to watch the amazing fireworks spectacular.
When you wanted to beat the haze
And speaking of help, we’re also happy that our round up of air purifiers in Singapore has been able to assist you, in some way or another, to survive the dreadful hazy period back in late September and early October. Whether it’s the Hitachi, PHILIPS or SHARP air purifier, better get one soon before the haze kicks in again.
2015 has definitely been a fun rollercoaster ride – inspiring and enriching the lives of our readers with our countless guides, round-ups, tips and the likes. So thank you all for the support, and we look forward to seeing you in 2016 with even more snazzy stories!
