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

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!
