by / 9 comments

Resorts World Sentosa Durian Buffet

The annual Durian Fest at Resorts World Sentosa returns again!

This immensely popular durian buffet sees a sell-out every year, with slots taken within days of launch, and if you haven’t been, you totally should this year. With predicted low durian supplies due to the heat wave, you can be the only one out of all your friends to brag that you have had an all-you-can-eat feast of the King of Fruits. The crowd-favourite event is also a display of the world’s largest stack of durians, with premium grades and types for you to go crazy over.

Durian Fest 2016 will be held over a period of three days – 19 to 21 August 2016. It is your time to party with durians, on top of the selection of tropical fruits. It is a definite feast. Durian on free flow – does that not sound like the best summer idea already?!

Here are some highlights from our escapade at Durian Fest 2015, and why we cannot wait for Durian Fest 2016.

United Airlines

One of the best news we’ve received this month is knowing that United Airlines has launched its inaugural nonstop flight from Singapore to San Francisco on 03 June 2016. The Golden Gate City is now only 15 hours and 30 minutes away, and yes, it is a non-stop flight! Man, are we so done with transits!

United Airlines is the first airline to offer direct non-stop routes between these two metropoles. It is also currently the only aviation company offering a direct flight service between Singapore and the United States.

Previously, travellers would have to transit in Tokyo or Hong Kong and board a connecting flight to get to San Francisco. Thankfully, that hassle is no longer necessary.

18 Affordable Hong Kong Hotels You Can Stay At For Under S$200 Per Night

Hong Kong Budget Hotels

Hong Kong’s accommodation is notorious for its exorbitant prices. Most globally recognised hotel brands located in the heart of this cosmopolitan city charge a hefty amount for a one-night stay, and let’s face it – not everyone is willing or able to spend that excessive amount of money on comfortable lodging.

The saving grace is that Hong Kong is pretty big and there is no lack of accommodation choices actually. But if you look further beyond the Central Business District area and search for lesser known (but still clean and comfy) hotels, you might be surprised by the options.

From the artistic Ovolo Southside to boutique Lodgewood, here are 17 Affordable Hong Kong Hotels You Can Stay At For Under S$200 Per Night!

Tampines Ramadan Bazaar 2016 – Here’s What To Expect

by / No Comments

Tampines Bazaar

Our quest to find even more awesome grub this Ramadan has brought us to Tampines. The bazaar here is a lot smaller than the booths at Geylang Serai, but it still many food and drinks to offer and tempt.

Some of the booths are the exact same ones at Geylang Serai, so those who live around the area need not travel all the way down to Haig Road to satisfy their cravings. A good thing to note is to visit about half an hour before or after the period of breaking fast as many of these stalls go for breaks.

We scoured the entire Tampines Ramadan Bazaar to find our favourite treats. From Gula Melaka Donut Balls to Taro Jelly Bagged Drinks and Chendol Soft Serve, here are our top picks from Tampines Ramadan Bazaar 2016.
