July 17, 2025

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)

July 14, 2025

Nestled in the Jurong district, Joya Onsen Cafe is an onsen complex that sets out to bring a little piece of Japan’s onsen culture to Singapore.

January 28, 2025

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.

Review: Dusit Thani Laguna Hotel (Singapore)

November 20, 2024

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)

June 20, 2024

After the long-awaited reopening of the Horizon Club Lounge at the Tower Wing (it remained closed for a while even after the pandemic lifted), my husband and I finally got a chance to check off our trilogy stay at this hotel!
