Review: Yuzu Ramen Restaurant, ICONSIAM Shopping Mall (Bangkok, Thailand)

Trip.com was promoting ICONSIAM shopping mall gift cards on their platform for pretty decent prices ($28 for THB1000, $33 for THB1500), and since my husband and I hadn’t visited this relatively new shopping mall before, I figured we could add this to our trip itinerary armed with subsidies for our spending 😀 There are quite … More Review: Yuzu Ramen Restaurant, ICONSIAM Shopping Mall (Bangkok, Thailand)

Review: Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa (Singapore)

Perched atop a cliff overlooking the South China Sea and the beaches on Sentosa Island, this hotel has retained its colonial aesthetic since its establishment way back in 1930.
