My 36th birthday was, by far, my favorite one because we celebrated it at Bread Street Kitchen & Bar Singapore. My husband and I are big fans of Gordon Ramsay (we’ve watched all of his shows) and so it was a dream come true, literally, to finally dine at one of his restaurants. Bread Street
Day Trip to Maragondon and Ternate, Cavite
One fine weekend, we decided to visit the small plot of land that we’ve purchased from a developer in Maragondon, Cavite. It has always been my dream to build my forever home in the uplands of Cavite, me and my husband’s hometown, and it’s surely a dream come true to finally be able to own
Holiday Inn Macao Cotai Central Review
Here I am again with another rave review of the Holiday Inn. Though pricey than what my wallet can usually handle, I’ve always liked Holiday Inn, because they’re one of the best hotels my cheapskate self has been in, and they always go the extra mile with their service. I’m sure other hotels do the
Visiting Casinos in Macau: Here’s What to Expect
Macau, as you may already know, is a land of excesses, and it does a great job of holding that title. Developers in the country don’t shy away from showing how deep their pockets are, erecting casinos more ostentatious than the other. While not everyone is pleased with the megastructures (pure cheese, said one
Ole London Hotel Macau Review
The Ole London Hotel Macau is a better choice than costly AirBnB’s in the peninsula if you want to return home to an even better room experience at the end of the day. Perhaps because of demand or the time of our booking (it was summer in East Asia after all), AirBnB accommodations in Macau
Taipa Village Macau on Foot: What to See and Do
Taipa Village is a centuries-old village representing the old and new Macau. Taipa’s milieu is, in many ways, similar to that of its sister peninsula, with its colonial buildings and aging capsule apartments, juxtaposed with the lifestyle hubs of surrounding megastructures. It encapsulates the heart of Macau, the shabby, and unpolished parts overshadowed by the
Ngong Ping Village: What to Expect & Walking Tour
Ngong Ping Village is a nice little theme park that was built to capitalize on the rising number of tourists drawn to Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. Situated in the highlands of Lantau Island, Ngong Ping Village is accessible via cable car ride from the Ngong Ping 360 basecamp in Tung Chung. Where
Hong Kong Disneyland for the Kid In You [PHOTOS & HALF-DAY WALKING TOUR]
Hong Kong and Macau, both Special Administrative Regions of the People’s Republic of China, are worlds apart in terms of colonial influences, but are united by their generally tourist-friendly atmosphere. As casual travelers, we loved the fact that you can have your own moment to mill about, despite the frenetic pace of activities around you.
5 Things to Do in Kowloon at Night
Kowloon is a big city, although not quite. It is packed, but with the MTR connecting tourists to key Kowloon points of interests, it’s not impossible to cover a lot of mileage. What’s even better is that Kowloon is a city that never sleeps, so you can tour Kowloon at nighttime as well. This is
The Kowloon Side of Town
Miles away from Hong Kong Island’s spellbinding hillside views and posh hotspots is where budget travelers seek their temporary homes, and where the rest of the Hong Kong population can relatively afford to live. The place in question is Kowloon, which—if you’re looking for authenticity and have the stomach for slightly gritty places—is one side
