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)

Review: Whiskdom Cookies & Brownies, Alexandra Central Mall (Singapore)

May 14, 2021

Whiskdom has been popping up on my Instagram feed for the longest time, tempting me with their mouthwatering photos of gooey goodness. However, I hesitated to pull the trigger because of the overall cost, as well as the $4 delivery when ordering direct from their website (went through this similar thought process for Bob The … More Review: Whiskdom Cookies & Brownies, Alexandra Central Mall (Singapore)

Review: Mandarin Oriental Hotel (Singapore)

May 12, 2021

Mandarin Oriental never really featured highly on my I-really-wanna-stay-here list, but they released a very affordable package promotion on Trip.com that was too good to miss! This package included complimentary breakfast for two, $100 dining credit (with some usage restrictions) and a guaranteed late check-out at 6pm (the only other hotel we’ve been to with … More Review: Mandarin Oriental Hotel (Singapore)

Review: Willow Stream Spa, Fairmont Hotel (Singapore)

May 3, 2021

About a month ago, my husband and I booked a Fairmont Hotel package that came with a 60-minute aromatherapy relaxation massage (read about our entire stay here). Unfortunately, our massage reservation didn’t show up on their system and they were out of available slots that day! Thankfully, we were issued a return voucher by Ophelia, … More Review: Willow Stream Spa, Fairmont Hotel (Singapore)
