Millie’s Cookies has been that one treat we kept walking past, always telling ourselves we’d grab it next time. Well, next time finally came during our latest UK trip, and spoiler alert: we should’ve stopped sooner. Since 1985, this beloved UK brand has been baking up sweet memories across the nation. My husband grew up […]
Before our long flight to London, my hubby and I decided to pop by Marhaba Lounge Terminal 3 Changi Airport to chill for a bit. We’d been to the Terminal 1 Marhaba Lounge before with our Priority Pass, and it was a decent experience, hence we were curious to see how the Terminal 3 one […]
Pullman Singapore Hill Street sits right behind Capitol, making it one of the most centrally located hotels you’ll find. After lunch at Two Cranes, we walked straight over and checked in around 1:20pm. The official check-in time is 3pm, but our room was ready early. The whole process took no time at all. Deluxe Room, […]
Temonyong Night Market is hands down my favourite Langkawi night market. Every time I visit this island, I make sure Thursday night is free just for this. It happens every Thursday from 6-11pm, and trust me, you don’t want to miss it. Getting There The Temonyong Night Market sits just a quick 5-minute Grab ride […]

We spotted Hidden Langkawi while walking along Pantai Tengah beach from PARKROYAL Langkawi Resort. Just a 3-4 minute walk from our hotel, this beachfront spot sits right on the sand. We rocked up at 4pm+ on a Sunday. Pretty packed. Headed to the second floor and snagged a corner table that felt like our own […]
Islandish Family Seafood Restaurant became our go-to spot during our recent Langkawi trip. We usually stick to eating at PARKROYAL Langkawi Resort or ordering Grab deliveries, but this time we wanted something different. A quick Google search led us here, and the 10-minute Grab ride was totally worth it. Location and First Impressions The restaurant […]
If you’ve read my earlier post on PARKROYAL Langkawi Resort, you’ll know how much I enjoyed my first stay here. Well, I couldn’t resist coming back again.

Sizzle by the Shore at PARKROYAL Langkawi Resort delivers one of those dining experiences that sticks with you long after you’ve left.

PARKROYAL Langkawi Resort was our home for six glorious nights, and I’m excited to share all the details about this relatively new property that opened in February 2023.

We wanted modern luxury with a side of practicality – somewhere we could work if needed but mostly just unwind. This five-star property along Beach Road promised exactly that, and we booked […]
Travelling through Southeast Asia is exciting, but it is rarely straightforward. One afternoon, you might be walking through a market in 35°C heat, the next, you are waiting out a sudden storm that floods the street in minutes. Crossing chaotic intersections, figuring out new currencies, or simply finding clean drinking water can wear you down. […]
Travel is easier to organise today than ever. Flights, hotels, and activities can all be booked conveniently from your phone. Yet once you leave home, risks can quickly arise. Losing important documents, connecting to an unsafe Wi-Fi network, or struggling to explain a medical issue in another language can turn a trip upside down. Preparation […]

Situated in the heart of the city, this iconic hotel promised not just convenience, but a chance to mix productivity with a touch of weekend indulgence. And honestly, there’s something […]
Singapore Gift Gate completely flipped my perspective on what local souvenirs could be during my recent exploration of Kampong Glam. Tucked away in this heritage enclave, this charming shop transforms traditional keepsakes into playful, Instagram-worthy treasures that even locals can’t resist.
