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

LATEST STAYS / EATS
Review of PAUL: French Patisserie, Western mains
PAUL is a Boulangerie Patisserie that carries awesome desserts. But this review focuses on the main dishes and the all-day breakfast menu. With the Entertainer App by HSBC, two adults can enjoy 1-for-1 meals.
Violet Oon: Peranakan / local food at Ion Orchard
This is my second review of Violet Oon Singapore. If you love Nyona / Peranakan / Local fare and want to have it in an ‘atas’ or more upscale place, Violet Oon is all of that and more. Loved their Kueh Pie Tee, Dry Laksa, Fish Curry, and Club Sandwich with super thick cut Fries.

Mayson Kayser is a world-renowned contemporary artisan bakery. With the entertainer app, diners can enjoy 1-for-1 sandwiches or selected dessert items. We got some fruit pastries, which were both pretty and enjoyable. Read more for details!
