This ‘hole-in-a-wall' sourdough pizza spot opens just 4 days a week
When we made our way there, I swore my 'excitement metre' was at a solid 8. But upon arriving, it plummeted to a 3. If I could add sound effects, it'd be a flock of crows cawing. There was actually an easel and a little booth with a guy taking orders outside the main Haji Lane Stretch.
Ah well, not really much of a hole-in-a-wall experience, is there?
Chances are, most folks just breezed by without a clue, so there's a real need to get the word out! Since we were already in the neighbourhood, we figured we'd sample a couple of their pizzas.
The pizza takeaway booth shares the same space as The Halal Corner, and offers 5 different flavours of sourdough pizza, available exclusively for takeaway. Do note that they are only open from Thursday to Sunday, from 12pm to 9pm.
After placing our order, we were told to walk around and return slightly later. After close to 20 mins, our pizzas were finally ready, only for the guy who took our order to to collect them from the window (that could've been us).
The first on our list was the Pepperoni (S$15). It looks just like a typical pepperoni pizza, but upon taking a closer look, you'll spot clusters of sambal belado drizzled everywhere.
One bite in, and the heat was already dancing on my tongue. Minutes later, I was sweating — forehead, scalp, the works. This, my friends, is a must-have for spice lovers! The crust was thin and crispy, and the pepperoni was scrumptious.
We then moved on to the Chilli Duck (S$15). The moment I lifted up the cover, my nose was greeted by the familiar and fragrant whiff of the lemak sauce.
A generous layer of golden lemak gravy covered the crust, crowned with paper-thin slices of smoked duck, shimeiji mushrooms, rocket lettuce, mozzarella cheese and chilli.
Compared to the previous pizza, the Lemak Chilli Duck had a thicker layer of cheese. The combination of fragrant smoked duck, creamy spiced gravy, earthy mushrooms, and fresh rocket worked beautifully together.
This one completely won my heart over. Don't get me wrong, the Sambal Belado Pepperoni was great and packed a spicy punch, but this pizza was on a whole different level. I'm going to be dreaming about it for a while!

Kim Kardashian Has Everyone — Including Her Friends — Wondering If She Paid $10M for a Birkin Bag
Kim Kardashian is known for her extravagant taste — but even her close friends are wondering if she just dropped some serious cash on an iconic bag. On Saturday, July 11, Kardashian shared a video that featured a model breaking a glass case containing the original Birkin bag inspired by the late actress Jane Birkin, who died in July 2023. Kardashian followed up the post with a series of texts from various people, all wondering if she had purchased the bag, which sold for €8.6 million ($10.1 million) at auction on Friday, July 10. "Are u the winner of the first Birkin bag?" one text read. "Please tell me you bought that Birkin," another friend texted. "Would be BAD ASS." "Kim for real did you buy the original Birkin??? Or should I stop blaming you every time I lose an auction?" another text read. Turns out, and despite Kardashian's hints and her friends' speculation, the bag ultimately went to Valuence Japan, Inc., in Minato-ku, Tokyo, who placed their bid through Maiko Ichikawa, Country Head of Sotheby's Japan. The Associated Press reported that the auction began at $1 million and the bag had bids placed in person and via phone. The final four bids were for €6.2 million, $6.5 million and $6.8 million. Kim Kardashian Reveals She Has Absolutely Nothing in Her Hermes Kelly Bag Back in 2012 Birkin — who famously often carried wicker baskets in lieu of a handbag — told Vogue how the iconic bag came into fruition. She was seated next to Jean-Louis Dumas, chairman of the Hermès group from 1978 to 2006, on a flight when the pair began to discuss the bag she had brought on the flight. 'I'd been upgraded by Air France on a flight to London, and I found myself sitting next to a man [the visionary Jean-Louis Dumas of Hermès],' she told writer Luke Leitch. 'I'm not quite sure what type of bag I had with me — my husband Jacques Doillon had reversed his car over my basket, crushed it on purpose not too days before. [Dumas] thought I deserved more.' She continued, 'Little did he know that on this airplane journey, when everything fell out of whatever bag I had, the man next to me said, 'you should have one with pockets.' I said, 'the day Hermès makes one with pockets I will have that.'' Birkin went on to add that the designer told her that because 'I am Hermès, and I will put pockets in for you.' ' 'I said 'why don't you make a handbag that is bigger than the Kelly but smaller than [former longtime partner] Serge's [Gainsbourg] suitcase?' And he said 'well, what would it be like?' And I think I drew it on the sick bag—or the not-be-sick bag. And he said 'I'll make it for you,'' she added. Where Else Was Kim Kardashian Supposed to Put Her Birkin While Sitting Courtside at That Lakers Game? Birkin popped into Hermès to buy the bag that had been designed, but instead Dumas offered to give it to her if she allowed him to name it for her. 'I was very flattered! They've turned it into the success we know today,' she said.

The Creator of SQUID GAME Lost 10 Teeth While Shooting The Series; and He Hasn't "Put Them Back in Yet" — GeekTyrant
Squid Game series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk recently revealed that the production of the series has taken a physical toll on him as he lost a lot of freakin' teeth! While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Hwang talked about shooting Season 3 and confessed: 'I thought it was going to be okay, but this time I had to pull out two more teeth as well. I had to pull out about eight teeth in season 1, and now I have two teeth more out, and I haven't put them back in yet. So I'm waiting for them.' That's a total of ten teeth sacrificed at the altar of deadly children's games, existential dread, and masked game masters. What the hell!? Was he so streessed out that his teeth were just falling out of his head! This is a nightmare that I have, for real! While most people lose sleep over work stress, Hwang seems to lose molars. I guess this shows just how much pressure he's under to deliver a finale worthy of the cultural juggernaut he created. Season 3 will bring the mainline series to a close, but Hwang's not ruling out the possibility of a spin-off. He explained: 'If I make [a] spin-off, it will be a story happening between season 1 and 2. There [was] a three years gap between season 1 and 2. So, I want to show what they did for those times.' As for what lies ahead, Netflix's official synopsis reads: 'Gi-hun, a.k.a. Player 456, [is] at his lowest point yet. But the Squid Game stops for no one, so Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone's resolve.' And if that's not enough to rattle you, series star Lee Jung-jae warned fans at Netflix Tudum 2025 that the new season will 'shock the world one last time.' Squid Game Season 3 hits Netflix on June 27. Here's hoping Hwang gets some well-earned rest… and a good dentist.
