Review: AYANA Segara Hotel (Bali, Indonesia) – Part 2

The next morning, we had the option of having our breakfast, which was served between 6.30am and 10.30am, at Karang (AYANA Segara), Padi (AYANA Resort) or To’Ge (Rimba). Since Karang was just downstairs, that made the most sense, plus the interior looked comparatively more modern. There was a substantial variety of items in the buffet … More Review: AYANA Segara Hotel (Bali, Indonesia) – Part 2

Review: AYANA Segara Hotel (Bali, Indonesia) – Part 1

A one-night stay in Bali over the weekend would typically be an unfathomable itinerary for my husband and I, but the phrase “never say never” comes to mind in this particular instance. As he really wanted to catch the finals of an e-sports competition, we pulled together to somehow make this trip happen 😀 Thanks … More Review: AYANA Segara Hotel (Bali, Indonesia) – Part 1

Review: Peony Jade Chinese Restaurant – The Weekend Omakase Handcrafted Dim Sum Escapade, Amara Hotel (Singapore)

After seeing an Instagram reel about this unique dim sum omakase concept at Peony Jade Chinese Restaurant, I was incredibly keen to check it out for myself! “Omakase” is typically associated more with Japanese cuisine so I was curious to find out what this Chinese version was about. At a very decent price of $68++ … More Review: Peony Jade Chinese Restaurant – The Weekend Omakase Handcrafted Dim Sum Escapade, Amara Hotel (Singapore)

Review: Gyukatsu Motomura Restaurant, Namba 3-Chome (Osaka, Japan)

As my husband and I were staying nearby at Mercure Tokyu Stay Osaka Namba, we decided to take a walk around the Dotonbori area and look for a dinner spot. We chanced upon this restaurant with a super long queue and I recognized it to be the highly recommended one from a Telegram group chat. … More Review: Gyukatsu Motomura Restaurant, Namba 3-Chome (Osaka, Japan)

Review: Mercure Tokyu Stay Osaka Namba Hotel (Osaka, Japan)

Ever since I saw the launch of this relatively new hotel on Accor, I had my eye on trying it out at some point! A collaboration between Accor’s midscale Mercure brand and Japanese long-stay brand Tokyu Stay, this pioneering dual-branded hotel opened for business in December 2022. It is situated in a really convenient spot, … More Review: Mercure Tokyu Stay Osaka Namba Hotel (Osaka, Japan)

Review: Good Nature Hotel Kyoto (Kyoto, Japan)

Completing our theme park stint at Disneysea and Disneyland in Tokyo, my husband and I then made our way to Kyoto for a change of scenery. When researching for hotels, this one in particular piqued my interest because of its contemporary aesthetic and a certain character it had about its spaces. Opening its doors in … More Review: Good Nature Hotel Kyoto (Kyoto, Japan)

Review: Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo Disney Resort (Tokyo, Japan)

After an awesome experience at Disneysea the day before, it was time to check out what its neighbour, Disneyland, had to offer! Funnily, my husband and I didn’t actually plan to visit Disneyland at all. It was purely an error I made while trying to snag a 50% off capped at $50 promo code with … More Review: Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo Disney Resort (Tokyo, Japan)

Review: Miyako City Tokyo Takanawa Hotel (Tokyo, Japan)

Miyako City Tokyo Takanawa is a 4-star hotel situated within a 5-to-10-minute walk from Takanawa Gateway Station, Shinagawa Station and Sengakuji Station. It is convenient to have a variety of train lines so close by but the walk to and from these stations are largely unsheltered, so do come prepared with your umbrellas (: Given … More Review: Miyako City Tokyo Takanawa Hotel (Tokyo, Japan)

Review: Dolly Dim Sum Restaurant, NU Sentral Shopping Mall (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

After our fifth and final escape room at Breakout located in NU Sentral shopping mall, my husband and I opted for convenience and decided to grab lunch in this mall.

Located right at the mall entrance where the drop-off … More Review: Dolly Dim Sum Restaurant, NU Sentral Shopping Mall (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
