Alexis Bistro & Wine Bar, a place that has been blogged to death. Beautiful cakes, extensive wine list, jazz performances; there isn’t any reason to hate Alexis though. I just realized that I have not written anything about this uber cool place despite having numerous tea sessions here.

Indulge in the Uniquely Singapore experience

24 hours in Singapore! There’s much to see in Singapore and one day won’t do it justice, but a glutton gotta do what he/she gotta do! We’ll be binging and munching all day, and throw in some shopping for the intervals between meals too! Some walking aids digestion after all.

Welcome to Macau! Macau is comprised of the Macau Peninsula , the islands of Taipa and Coloane and the reclaimed area COTAI. During our previous visit to Macau, we spent one full day in Macau Peninsula and was busy exploring Taipa village on the following day. We took First Ferry from China HK Ferry terminal in TST and boarded onto our hotel shuttle bus once we arrived to Macau Ferry Terminal. Take note that most (big) hotels in Macau provide free shuttle services, so please check with them beforehand.
