Packing List

My trip is in 7 days! Finally. Here's a packing list that I have compiled for everyone to use. I will add more things in the future if needed.


  • Maggi Mee (I like the Myojo ones but it's up to your own preference)
  • Instant ramen
  • Cup noodles (These are useful when you first get there and have yet to do your groceries shopping. Or if you are feeling greedy late at night)
  • Milo packets (I don't think they have this in Europe)
  • Green tea packets (Same for this. If they have it will be expensive)
  • Cumin seed (A great condiment to add to dishes)
  • Honey stars (I plan to eat this for breakfast for the first few days)
  • A1 curry paste (I like this brand of curry paste and they are easy to use. Just add a tablespoon into your vegetables, meat, etc if you are craving curry)
  • Pork floss 
  • Bak Kwa (Remember to bring vacuum packed ones) 
  • Boots
  • White and black pepper (White pepper is rare in Europe and black pepper is much cheaper here) 
  • Bakuteh and curry chicken from Prima taste (These are ready to cook packages that only require you to add pork/chicken. However, they are quite expensive and cost about $7-$8 a box for a meal for 4-6 people)
  • Mamee 
  • Mee sua
  • Light soy sauce
  • Dark soy sauce
  • Mama lemon 
  • Scotch brite (These are much cheaper in Singapore)
  • Japanese curry paste
  • Down jacket
  • Travel pillow

  • Jeans/long pants 
  • White Shirt (I pair it with a black jeans for presentations)

  • Plastic bags (European supermarkets don't really supply these unlike in Singapore)
  • Grocery bags (those tote ones that you can fold)
  • Yogurt and Oreo bars (for on the go snacks)
  • Camera 
  • Travel adaptor (I recommend bringing about 2)
  • Mini router (Sabinki dormitory has a LAN port per room. You are strongly advised to bring one so that your roommate and you can surf the net together and you can connect your iPhones, iPads, etc)

  • Plug extension (Everyone has more than 1 device nowadays)
  • Knife (either bring it or buy it there)
  • Small bottles of Shampoo and Body Soap
  • Hangers (Sabinki dormitory does not have a dryer so you will need to hang in your room or something)
