Elaine
Catalina

Poise and professional describe Catalina very well. She is a dream to work with. She has a lovely calm persona, and very relaxed in her delivery, she instantly puts her guests at ease. She feels like a friend you haven’t met in awhile. But behind all that ease is a meticulous professional who puts in hours of research before each tour. No wonder she is consistently everyone’s favourite guide. Did we say she guides in both French and English?

ABOUT ME

GET TO KNOW ME BETTER

  • Gourmet: eating is after all Singapore’s national sport, a national passion.

    Jalan jalan: since our country is so small, most of us have the travel bug
    Festivals: our little island is a multi-cultural society with all ethnic groups celebrating their distinctive festivals throughout the year. There is never a dull moment in Singapore!
    My recommendation? Thimithi fire walking festival or Thaipusam. Not for the faint hearted 😉
  • Kaya toast with a good café au lait.

    Well, I have spent half of my life between Belgium and Singapore, hence  my breakfast choice has got to be east meets west.
  • Pulau Ubin, a nostalgic slice of the old Singapore.

  • Hua Bee kopitiam at Tiong Bahru or Fei Fei wonton noodle at Joo Chiat Place, I can’t pick one between these two. To me, both epitomised comfort food.

  • Alamak: an Malay expression of dismay, shock or surprise.  Phonetically close to Chinese term “oh, my mother”.

    Aiyah: Chinese meaning  “oh no, oh dear”.

  • It is just an excuse to get together to talk and eat….

  • Hong Kong. A little part of me. My second home 🙂

  • I am a bird whisperer…Too bad I can’t fly though.

  • visit Emerald Hill. It is a great place to stroll around – quite peaceful and evocative. Nestled just a stone’s throw away from the hustle and bustle of Orchard Road, this is a tranquil, nostalgic and pleasant neighbourhood. Admire the architecture and imagine what life here would have been like in its heyday when the affluent Peranakan (Straits-Chinese) community resided here. Come for the beautiful and unique architecture, or maybe a drink at one of the trendy bars?
