Review: Crossroads Cafe, Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel (Singapore)

Crossroads Cafe is the main all-day buffet dining restaurant at Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel along Orchard Road.

Review: Lard Yai Sunday Walking Street Market, Thalang Road (Phuket, Thailand)

Situated in the heart of Old Phuket Town, this famous night market along Thalang Road opens every Sunday from 4pm till late.
