This is a really inexpensive funky little cafe with a good ethos. Try it! But be warned, it's seriously addictive. Oh, and if you go traditional, there's no need to use artificial colouring for the cake, use red beet!

I read The Buaya Handbook some 15 years ago as a teen and I loved it. I laughed early and often and it is one of the few books that has shaped my twisted sense of humour. Thank you for your imagination and jokes. Hi Colin!

I've owned all the books, read them until the pages frayed and the entire book fell apart, literally. Thank you :) Hi Colin, just wanted to say that I’ve grown up reading your comics, especially the Orchard Road series.

My hubby and I really enjoyed Singapore Dreaming. You were spot on with Singapore idiosyncracies. It was great laughing at myself although I might try not to meet my maker so soon after striking the big win. When I read 'Paved with Good Intentions' and Yen Yen's description of typical teacher characteristics, I nearly fell off my chair laughing (office chair, not a good idea since the floor isn't that clean!). I used to be a Primary School Teacher. Primary, secondary; no difference. We had the same category of Singapore teachers, semi tai-tais with their 'set' hair, discussing their next holiday destination or property purchase, ardent newbies (often screaming 'shut up' and never thinking to give out disclaimer forms for their unauthorised outings with their lovesick wards on NON-work days, mind you), single and older men moonlighting in insurance sales, all-night mahjong kakis, quiet but suddenly fierce and defensive types, bochap kings, bochap queens, what have you. Thank you. At least I know I wasn't the only one categorising them mentally, years back.... crap, what category did I fall into? The struggling mother of two young kids, trying to find a semblance of family life amidst the chaos. Finally threw in the towel! For now, I'm taking the alternative route as described by Yen Yen...everyday is a NEW day! Every THING is a JOY! Yippee!
