These trips are a beloved part of American culture. More than 30 percent of Americans planned to hit the road in 2024, making it the third most popular vacation choice. Likewise, they […]

The Amsterdam Cheese Museum caught my eye after our coffee break at Winkel 43. We were strolling along the canal when its interesting shop front pulled me in. I thought, “Let’s check this out.” This place is brilliant. It’s a cheese store with a massive array of different cheeses. I mean really massive. Many varieties […]

Winkel 43 popped up on every Google search when I hunted for the best Dutch apple pie in Amsterdam. This famous cafe sits in the Jordaan neighbourhood, and locals swear by it. Dutch apple pie is a must-try when you’re in Amsterdam, so naturally, I had to check it out. The Queue Situation at Winkel […]

Manneken Pis Damrak serves up Belgian-style fries that actually deliver on the hype. Located right on Damrak, this spot’s been pulling crowds for good reason. Manneken Pis Damrak is only a 5-minute walk from Centraal Station. It’s located on Damrak Street, the main avenue leading to Dam Square. Impossible to miss it as there’s always […]

We stayed at Tribe Amsterdam City for four nights during our European adventure. After spending time with my in-laws in the UK, we hopped on the Eurostar to Amsterdam and checked into this boutique hotel that opened its doors in April 2022. We booked directly through the Accor website and paid €476.08 (about S$715) for […]

TESCO UK surprised me with what might be the best choux buns I’ve ever eaten. Right after raving about LIDL’s cookies in my previous post, here I am again, completely obsessed with another supermarket find. Who knew British supermarkets would become my unexpected dessert destination? Back in Singapore, I’ve tried plenty of fresh bakes from […]

LIDL UK wasn’t even on my radar until I tried the doughnuts and cookies my FIL always buys from there. He’s a regular at the local store, making his weekly pilgrimage for these treats. My MIL needs her afternoon tea ritual sorted, and apparently, LIDL is the answer. After trying what he brought home, I […]

Poundland UK has been my favourite discount retailer for over a decade, and honestly, it’s one of the things I miss most about living in the UK. This place stocks everything from chocolates to beauty products, and the prices? Still ridiculously affordable. When I first walked into Poundland more than ten years ago, literally everything […]

Taco Bell brings back memories from the early 2000s when their first Singapore outlet opened at Funan. My friends and I hung out there regularly because it offered something refreshingly different from the usual burger and fried chicken joints. This American fast food chain serves Mexican fare like tacos, burritos, and quesadillas that felt novel […]

One of my favourite things to do when I travel is to explore the local supermarkets, apart from sightseeing and eating of course. I don’t know why, but I find it oddly satisfying to wander through the aisles, check out the local produce, and discover interesting products that I’d never find back home in Singapore. […]

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 […]

Looking to trade the city skyline for some seaside serenity? A quick ferry from Singapore to Batam is all you need to reset and recharge. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a spontaneous escape, the route is one of Southeast Asia’s busiest sea links—and for good reason. The Sindo Ferry is among the most trusted […]

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 […]
