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. Thanks to a HSBC Wow weekend 1-for-1 promotion, my husband and I were enticed to give it another shot despite a rather mediocre breakfast experience during our last stay. The theme of the buffet this time was John … More Review: Crossroads Cafe, Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel (Singapore)

Review: Kopitiam By Wilai Cafe, Thalang Road (Phuket, Thailand)

This cafe is one of the dining spots my husband found when researching where to find good traditional coffee. Located in a shophouse at Old Phuket Town, it is also known for its Peranakan and classic Thai dishes on the menu. We initially planned to grab a bite here before our appointment at Kim’s Massage … More Review: Kopitiam By Wilai Cafe, Thalang Road (Phuket, Thailand)

Review: Wan Fang Cafe, Soi Rommani (Phuket, Thailand)

My husband and I initially planned to grab a small bite at Kopitiam By Wilai Cafe before walking over to Kim’s Massage & Spa for our appointment, but unfortunately, the cafe was completely full when we visited! As a result, we had to search for another place to eat at. After considering the other options … More Review: Wan Fang Cafe, Soi Rommani (Phuket, Thailand)

Review: Bosphorus Turkish Restaurant, Patong (Phuket, Thailand)

My husband came across this Turkish restaurant on one of his leisurely walks to the Patong Beach area from our accommodation and was intrigued enough to want to try it. As such, we headed here for a quiet supper after taking in the overwhelming sights and sounds of Bangla Road nearby. It is located on … More Review: Bosphorus Turkish Restaurant, Patong (Phuket, Thailand)

Review: Bookhemian Cafe, Thalang Road (Phuket, Thailand)

After exploring pretty much all of Lard Yai Sunday Walking Street Market, my husband and I were in dire need of a sitting break. We spotted this cafe earlier while walking the market and made a mental note to come back and peruse the shelves of books they had inside! This cafe sells beverages, pastries … More Review: Bookhemian Cafe, Thalang Road (Phuket, Thailand)

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. Roads are closed to traffic by mid-afternoon and stall owners set up shop in the centre, leaving two walking paths at the side. I must admit that after visiting Chillva Market and Naka … More Review: Lard Yai Sunday Walking Street Market, Thalang Road (Phuket, Thailand)

Review: Naka Weekend Market, Wirat Hong Yok Road (Phuket, Thailand)

Said to be Phuket’s largest market, Naka is a weekend market that only opens on Saturdays and Sundays from 4pm to 10pm (or 11pm, according to some sources). Since it was situated within the vicinity of Chillva Market where my husband and I were, we decided to drop by to check it out. It was … More Review: Naka Weekend Market, Wirat Hong Yok Road (Phuket, Thailand)

Review: Chillva Market, Yaowarad Road (Phuket, Thailand)

Chillva is one of the popular markets in Phuket with a great mix of dining, shopping and bar options. It is open from Monday to Saturday from 5pm to 11pm. When my husband and I visited, most stalls were properly open for business only around 6.30pm. However, we were thankful we came earlier as we … More Review: Chillva Market, Yaowarad Road (Phuket, Thailand)

Review: Mövenpick Myth Hotel Patong (Phuket, Thailand)

With so many nice hotels to choose from on the island of Phuket, it wasn’t an easy feat narrowing down the options for our very first trip here! My husband’s friend was the one who initially proposed the idea of a short group getaway and our plan was to book a whole villa for ourselves. … More Review: Mövenpick Myth Hotel Patong (Phuket, Thailand)

Review: Dusit Thani Laguna Hotel (Singapore)

December 2020 marked the opening of Dusit Thani Laguna Hotel, Dusit International’s very first property in Singapore. Situated within the Laguna National Golf Resort Club, I imagine it’d be a hotel of choice for avid golfers wanting easy access to the two 18-hole championship courses. Having said that, the hotel’s appeal does extend to non-golfers … More Review: Dusit Thani Laguna Hotel (Singapore)
