A hotel-staying, fine-dining, and doing it at a discount-where-possible kind of blog. And I love bags, too.

Conrad Tokyo review: King Room Bay View
Conrad Tokyo review: Japan adventures continue with the BEST Conrad/Hilton hotel we’ve ever been to. With the AMEX Express’ Fine Hotels & Resorts (FHR) rate, we enjoyed early 12pm check-in, late 4pm check-out, breakfast, and room upgrade! Plus, we offsetted the stay with a S$400 travel credit, thanks to the Amex Platinum Charge Card.
Fraser Suites Akasaka Tokyo review: Deluxe Room
With Japan finally opening up for travel (YAY!), the family went to Tokyo. We stayed at Fraser Suites Akasaka Tokyo. This was a complimentary 3D2N stay thanks to American Express. The Deluxe room comes with a washing machine, and baby cots plus diaper disposal bins were available upon request.
