Singapore

High-tea usually conjures up thoughts of classical music, ornate furniture, scones and english accents. That has all changed now that W Singapore-Sentosa Cove has launched Drop the T², a high-tea with attitude. You’ll still find scones at this high-tea, but they’re served with a passionfruit curd and clotted cream in a swinging bird cage. The quirkiness continues with a wood [...]

There is something about Sentosa that even though it’s only minutes from Singapore’s CBD, as soon as you step onto the island, it feels like you are far away in another country. The view of the beach, the sea breeze, tourists and locals enjoying the attractions – it puts me into beach vacation mode, even if it’s just for the [...]

Opening to much fanfare in June of 2012, POLLEN helmed by Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton has been the talk of the town for some time. During a visit to Gardens by the Bay, it was time for my husband Tom and I joined by our friends Pam and John to finally see what all of the fuss is about. Being an [...]

By night, the trees are lit up and it turns into an ideal destination for dinner and drinks including this hidden gem at the top of SuperTree by IndoChine. Ignore the chintzy knick knacks as you walk into the SuperTree and head straight to the rooftop [...]

The Hotel For a city getaway set in the middle of nature, we headed to the historic Hotel Fort Canning. This hotel is full of history, once used as a base for the British Far East Command during World War II and most recently converted from a country club to the current hotel. Completed in November 2010, the architects from local [...]

We stumbled upon this newly opened café meets restaurant just by chance while looking for a suitable lunch spot. What lured us in was a quirky English café style interior in a renovated shop house, and a menu of pasta, quiche and salads. The whole lunch menu is full of fresh creative dishes using lots of vegetables including beetroot and [...]
