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 […]
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. Instead of repeating the same experience, I decided to switch things up with a different room category – the Premier Ocean View Room. Spoiler: it felt like a […]

When and How Much The seafood BBQ buffet […]
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. Whenever hubby signs up for his Ironman triathlon in any destination, I naturally take charge of the accommodation hunt—and this trip was no exception. At the time […]
The JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach became our home for a weekend when the hubby and I needed to escape the routine. 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 […]
Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1 isn’t your typical airport lounge dining spot. It’s a proper restaurant experience tucked away in the airside area, and if you’ve got Priority Pass, you’re in for a solid pre-flight meal. We were heading to Langkawi (our second trip in a year – […]
Poh Guan Cake House at Hong Lim Complex caught me completely off guard. I originally went there hunting for ruan gao – those soft, mochi-like glutinous rice rolls my mum used to buy for prayers when I was a kid.
