After two solid hours wandering around York Castle Museum, our stomachs were grumbling. Hubby was craving a burger, so a quick Google search led us to Burgsy’s, just a five-minute stroll away. We rocked up around 1pm to a packed house but somehow nabbed the last free table. Lucky us. The Vibe at Burgsy’s The […]
Anyone who has helped a friend plan a Singapore wedding in the last few years has seen the numbers. A mid-range banquet at a hotel ballroom now starts around SGD $1,200 per table for a Saturday evening, with most couples landing somewhere between $40,000 and $90,000 once décor, photography, attire, and return gifts are added […]
After visiting the JORVIK Viking Centre in the morning and enjoying a lovely brunch at The Old York Tea Room, it was time to head over to York Castle Museum, our last attraction in York. Honestly, my hubby and I are not really the gallery and museum kind of people. We have super short attention […]
After our morning visit to the JORVIK Viking Centre, we were already feeling hungry since we hadn’t eaten breakfast. So we decided to pop into The Old York Tea Room for a bite. How It Works You order and pay downstairs at the counter, then head upstairs to grab a seat. The dining area is […]
One of the top things on our York hit list was the JORVIK Viking Centre. I’d heard the word “Vikings” thrown around plenty of times but honestly knew next to nothing about them. So this felt like the perfect crash course. My sister-in-law had also been raving about the place after taking the kids there, […]
Before heading to York, my sister-in-law gave us one firm instruction: don’t miss Bettys Cafe Tea Rooms. Apparently, it’s the tea room every York visitor should pop into. As a self-confessed scone-and-tea lover, I didn’t need convincing twice. So after dropping our bags at Novotel York Centre, we made a beeline for it—and promptly ran […]
Our first meal upon reaching York was lunch at a pub. We wanted to check out the York Minster, so we decided to have lunch nearby at Hole In The Wall York — a traditional red-brick pub with an authentic British pub atmosphere serving classic comfort food. Wait… It’s a Haunted Pub? I spotted this […]
Been itching to visit Edinburgh for ages, so we finally pulled the trigger and planned a proper road trip from Essex. A 7.5-hour non-stop drive felt a bit mad, so we decided to break the journey with an overnight stop somewhere interesting. Enter York — one of the best-preserved medieval cities in England. And since […]
If you’re anything like me, a trip to Bangkok or Phuket isn’t complete without a proper shopping spree at Big C. It’s practically a rite of passage for Singaporean travellers. I’ve already written about my go-to picks from Big C Supercenter Ratchadamri before (think Lin Zhen Xiang pork floss snacks, Mama noodles, classic Bento squid), […]
