Two kids changed how I light my bedroom. I bought everything in this post with my own money and it isn't sponsored. Here's the setup.

What's your night-time setup with little ones? Any trick that saved your sleep?

Every popular hokkien mee stall comes with a queue. This one was about 40 minutes at Blk 844 Tampines, double the 20 minutes the boss quoted. Was it worth it? My verdict: 3.4/5. The gravy is rich and the chilli packs a punch, but the prawns were cold and the wok hei is limited. Would I queue 40 minutes again? Probably not. With no line? Absolutely.

What’s the longest you’ve queued for hawker food, and did it pay off?

I bought a S$15 IKEA Bekant table top, then needed a car to get it home. The GetGo Honda Shuttle Hybrid handled the 160 x 80 cm top, but the total came to S$54.83, more than three times the price of the table. The long, flat boot is the best thing about it. The mileage charges, dirty interior and loose boot panel are not. Unless I have a specific must-use case, my next booking is going to Tribecar.

What's the most you've spent getting something home?

I needed to move some bulky items that wouldn't fit in a sedan, so I rented a GetGo van: the Toyota Pixis. It swallowed everything. But with one bar of signal in the car park, I spent 30 to 40 minutes trying to unlock it. 6.5 hours and 31 km came to S$48.47 after an S$8 referral discount. Would I rent the Pixis again? Yes, but probably not from the same car park. The hassle isn't worth it.

Have you ever rented a van or a big car to move something? What did it cost?

Haze season has a lot of us shopping for air purifiers. I rated 10 models for Singapore homes against seven must-haves, from true HEPA and CADR to filter prices. My bedroom pick: Xiaomi Air Purifier 6. My living room pick: Xiaomi Air Purifier 4 Pro. One rule matters more than any brand: buy for the size of your room.

What's the first thing you check when buying an air purifier?

Wanton mee is one of those dishes every Singaporean has an opinion on. Thin noodles or springy? Black sauce or white? I went to Chef Kang’s to see if it belongs in the ‘best in Singapore’ conversation. My verdict: 4.4/5, among the best in Singapore. Would I go back? Absolutely.

Name your best wanton mee in Singapore. I’ll tell you if this one beats it.
