Review: Hoshino Coffee, United Square Shopping Mall (Singapore)

Originating from Japan, Hoshino Coffee is a cafe-restaurant known for serving up a mean cup of hand-drip coffee made only with premium Arabica roasted coffee beans, as well as a fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine.

Review: Baristart Coffee, Tras Street (Singapore)

My husband and I chanced upon this quaint little cafe while searching for a place to chill after checking out from our awesome staycation at Sofitel Singapore City Centre across the road (read about it here!).

Review: Bumbles Cafe, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)

This quaint little cafe nestled in the middle of a residential neighbourhood was the perfect place to have a quiet lunch with my husband. Although it took a bit of walking to get to (under the scorching afternoon sun, no less), we were rewarded with a nice view of the river that ran parallel to … More Review: Bumbles Cafe, Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast, Australia)
