There are 75 restaurants that have been awarded at least a Michelin star in the reputable Hong Kong Michelin Guide for 2015, but Yat Lok Roast Goose Restaurant is hands down one of our perennial favourites.
The restaurant might be notorious for their atrocious service, but it is their insanely delicious roast goose meat that had us returning religiously each time we visit Hong Kong.
No trip to Cambodia is complete until you try their national dish – Fish Amok. The exact presentation and texture of the complex delicacy vary across Cambodian regions, but key ingredients such as marinated fish, curry paste and aromatic spices remain present in all Fish Amok recipes.
We are always on the prowl for mouth-watering authentic delicacies, even if it means having to travel across the national border. If you are in search of traditional Malaysian street food and are up for a gastronomic adventure, then head over to Johor Bahru’s Meldrum Night Market.

Tucked away in Beijing’s 1949 Hidden City is Jing A Brewing Taproom, a brewery-cum-bar serving artisanal ales and lagers that has revolutionised Beijing’s handicraft beer industry. The microbrewery is housed in one of the 1940s industrial brick-wall warehouses, but with a modern touch.

As its name suggests, Chicken Clinic at Upper Thomson is a hospital-themed eatery specialising in Korean Fried Chicken. It is the only Korean restaurant in Singapore utilising surgical equipments in its fried chicken presentation.
Sure, they might be a tad too gimmicky, but our cameras love them.
Korean fried chickens are all the rage right now, but Chicken Clinic has cleverly stood out from other competitors with its unique display of injection syringes, metal trays and medical tweezers. While they may not serve up the best Korean fried chicken, it is still something you might want to check out when you are next at Thomson.
Working styles are no longer looking the same as before, and increasingly so since 2015.

Many co-working spaces have sprung up across Singapore and most of these innovative offices are designed to offer convenient business services at an affordable daily or monthly fee to budding entrepreneurs.
From award-winning The Co to women-only Woolf Works, here is our guide to 8 Co-Working Spaces in Singapore.
Despite the sliding Malaysian Ringgit currency, Johor Bahru’s cafe industry is still booming rapidly. Johor Bahru’s hipster street, aka Jalan Dhoby, is the best place to explore the various Malaysian cafes – do proceed to sample the city’s street food thereafter.

It can be accessed within a 10-minute walk from the Johor-Singapore Causeway and is characterised by its all-white interiors, potted plants and minimalistic furnishings.
Definitely one of the hottest cafes in Johor Bahru now!
