It's easy to forget about this tucked-away enclave, but here's a refresher if you need ideas for the weekend.

We love the quiet, leafy, residential vibes of Chip Bee Gardens. But what we love even more is all there is to do there, from shopping to stuffing our faces to a good ol' yoga class. Here's how to spend an entire day there. 
 
9:00am: Coffee at Baker & Cook
Begin your day with some caffeine from this bakery and café. They offer different types of Allpress coffee drinks ranging from espressos to flat whites, and an all-day breakfast menu. 
 
10am: Early morning yoga at Om Shiva Yoga Centre
After coffee, head here for a good stretch.There is a variety of guided group and individual yoga classes for both newbies and experienced practitioners. One thing to note: you have to book in advance to attend these sessions. 
 
12:30pm: Lunch at Original Sin
Treat yourself to a post-workout lunch at this 18-year-old restaurant, famous (and perpetually packed) for serving up yummy plates of hearty Mediterranean-style fare. Don’t miss out on their signature Bosco Misto (almond and sesame seed-coated spinach, feta and tofu patties), Mezze Platter and Kashmir Pizza (with bocconcini,mozzarella, hummus, onion, asparagus, tofu and cherry tomatos on tandoori sauce). There’s a great and affordable wine list, too. 
 
2:30pm: Shop for kitchen supplies at Lemon Zest
If you are already thinking of what to have for dinner, stroll over to this kitchenware boutique and stock up on utensils, cookbooks and baking materials to help you plan tonight’s meal. 
 
3:30pm: Ice cream at The Daily Scoop
Feeling a little tired after shopping and eating? Rest your feet at this ice-cream parlor and indulge in a scoop (or two) of interesting flavors like Cha Earl Grey or Brandied Figs & Honey. 
 
5pm: Shop for dinner at The Butcher
Planning a big barbecue? Have a look around this gourmet meat grocer and its selection of chicken, beef, sausages and barbecue cuts. There are condiments and sauces to go with your meats too.
