Review: PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering Hotel (Singapore)

August 4, 2021

Establishing its hotel-in-a-garden concept in 2013, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering truly lives up to its reputation with 15000 square metres of horizontal and vertical lush greenery weaved seamlessly into its living spaces. The PARKROYAL COLLECTION brand of hotels in Singapore (the other one being PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay touting a garden-in-a-hotel concept) were designed to have … More Review: PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering Hotel (Singapore)

Review: Shangri-La Hotel – Valley Wing (Singapore)

August 2, 2021

After reading many rave reviews about the luxurious offerings and impeccable service at Shangri-La Hotel’s Valley Wing, I thought to finally take the plunge when Klook released a package that was arguably reasonably priced, though it still burned a pretty big hole in my pocket. The Valley Wing is known to be the most exclusive … More Review: Shangri-La Hotel – Valley Wing (Singapore)

Review: The Curious Case Of The Missing Peranakan Treasure – A Virtual Interactive Play, Sight Lines Entertainment (Singapore)

July 18, 2021

The Curious Case Of The Missing Peranakan Treasure is a 90-minute whodunnit mystery play that really takes the theatre experience to a totally different dimension. Think 360-degree scene shots, interactive features and navigation, as well as detective work culminating in the nomination of a suspect. I watch plays and musicals quite a bit, so this … More Review: The Curious Case Of The Missing Peranakan Treasure – A Virtual Interactive Play, Sight Lines Entertainment (Singapore)

Review: Chinatown Walking Tour, Monster Day Tours (Singapore)

July 15, 2021

As an Ascott Star Rewards member (a free-to-join loyalty programme), I received an email about Ascott’s partnership with the award-winning Monster Day Tours offering complimentary walking tours of Singapore’s cultural heritage neighbourhoods (eg. Chinatown, Kampong Glam, Little India). These guided tours are available to guests staying at participating Ascott properties until 31 December 2021, so … More Review: Chinatown Walking Tour, Monster Day Tours (Singapore)

Review: CARNE Burgers, Amoy Street (Singapore)

July 14, 2021

Right after checking out from our stay at Ascott Raffles Place Serviced Apartments (read about that experience here!), my husband and I searched for a place to grab some food before our Chinatown Walking Tour with Monster Day Tours (find out what we thought about the tour here!). We chanced upon CARNE Burgers after walking … More Review: CARNE Burgers, Amoy Street (Singapore)

Review: Ascott Raffles Place Serviced Apartments (Singapore)

July 12, 2021

I’ve always known Ascott Raffles Place to be the building with that fancy flight of carpeted stairs leading up to its entrance. Although there are other hotels like The Fullerton and Goodwood Park that have similar grand stair entrances, it is quite a rare sight to see for buildings within the CBD area. Hence, this … More Review: Ascott Raffles Place Serviced Apartments (Singapore)

Review: Broadway American Diner, The Capitol Kempinski Hotel (Singapore)

July 11, 2021

Broadway American Diner is one of the many concept restaurants within Arcade @ The Capitol Kempinski, serving up burgers with house-made patties and freshly baked chemical-free buns. In April this year, The Capitol Kempinski launched a one-day promotion in celebration of its 124th anniversary (wow, what a long history!). There were complimentary cupcakes, champagne and … More Review: Broadway American Diner, The Capitol Kempinski Hotel (Singapore)

Review: Conrad Marina Bay Hotel (Singapore)

May 30, 2021

Previously a dedicated stay-home notice facility, Conrad Centennial (now renamed Conrad Marina Bay) finally reopened its doors last December to the general public. As part of their reopening celebratory offers, they launched a Lavish Retreat package that came with complimentary breakfast for two, $80 dining credit and a late check-out at 4pm. This package was … More Review: Conrad Marina Bay Hotel (Singapore)

Review: Catfish Restaurant, Gemmill Lane (Singapore)

May 25, 2021

From a very formidable list of restaurants compiled by my best friend, Catfish Restaurant was the one my friends and I eventually ended up having dinner at, partly because they were one of the few that took last-minute reservations on Sundays. I came with little to no expectations of enjoying the food as its website … More Review: Catfish Restaurant, Gemmill Lane (Singapore)
