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

LATEST STAYS / EATS
Barossa Steak and Grill: a review
Barossa steak and grill: think charcoal-grilled meat, smoked to perfection in the best way possible. We loved the meats: tender, well-flavoured and juicy – definitely something for carnivore lovers. The husband and I dined with our small child and we got 50% off with Amex Love Dining.
Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant @ Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel: review
Wan Hao Chinese Restaurant: family gatherings are the best when they involve dim sum, Chinese main dishes – especially steamed crab! – and Chinese desserts. Thanks to a voucher from American Express, the entire family dined at 30% off.
Yan Ting review: Chinese fine dining at St Regis
Yan Ting review: this Cantonese fine dining restaurant at St. Regis Singapore is one of the best high-end Chinese restaurants in Singapore. With wholesome rice and noodle dishes, exquisitely prepared meat, vegetable and tofu desserts, and refreshing Chinese desserts, Yan Ting is my go-to Chinese food haven.

THE BAG LIFE
LV Neverfull review: comparisons with the Chanel Deauville, and throwback to @Doubletree by Hilton Johor Bahru with this Louis Vuitton tote
LV Neverfull: this Louis Vuitton tote has suffered from over-popularity . Great as a mom bag and awesome for travelling, an (almost) bottomless tote for all my daily needs.
