Singapore Top Travel Spot

Lonely Planet has named Singapore as the No. 1 Country to visit in 2015. In its guide to top 10 countries to visit in 2015 - which includes Namibia, Lithuania, Nicaragua, Ireland, Republic of Congo, Serbia, Philippines, St Lucia and Morocco – Singapore is praised for our multicultural diversity and wide range of new attractions like National Art Gallery and Singapore Sports Hub.

We are thrilled that Singapore is given this worldwide recognition, and we are certainly keeping our fingers crossed that this will give our tourism a boost in 2015!

7 Things We Love About the Buffet at PARKROYAL on Pickering’s Lime Restaurant

by / No Comments

Lime Buffet

Stepping in to PARKROYAL on Pickering is an experience so impeccable, and its grandeur is one-of-a-kind and unrivalled. This eco-friendly hotel – with a total of 15,000m2 of sky gardens, waterfalls, planter terraces and green walls – boasts a breathtaking metropolitan architecture that has completely changed the Singapore skyline.

Lime, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, is equally alluring. It is always a pleasant to dine and drink there, and be enraptured by the lush tranquility. The food never disappoints, and we could get used to a glass of its signature Limeade every day.

And what keeps our hearts is the lavish buffet spread that is nothing too exorbitantly-priced nor pretentious. Just good, honest food that fuels the soul.

Here are 7 things that we love about the buffet at PARKROYAL on Pickering’s Lime Restaurant.

by / No Comments

Citibank Clear Platinum Card

With so many credit cards in the market to choose from, it can be quite a headache to decide on which one to apply for. What we really appreciate is one all-rounder card that complements our lifestyle and rewards us for our daily expenditure, one that resides permanently in our wallet so that we can turn to it for any scenario – travel, dining, shopping.

The Citibank Clear Platinum Card gives you 5X Rewards (5 Rewards Points or 2 miles for every S$1 spend) on dining, overseas spend, and online shopping. While some cards reward you when you only charge for travel, dining or shopping, this card rewards you with all three!

Gone are the days when we’d stand at the cashier, ready to pay for something, only to hold up the queue by spending minutes recalling which credit card offers the best rewards for whatever we are buying.

Here are the Top 4 reasons why you must get the Citibank Clear Platinum Card.

Belongings That Are Commonly Left Behind in Hotel Rooms

by / No Comments

Hotel Rooms

We are always scurrying to leave and to check out of our hotel rooms. Speed packing is what we would find ourselves doing before we lug our luggage and close the doors behind us. And when we get home, we realise we have forgotten some of our belongings.

Does this scenario sound familiar? Well, it happens.

We spoke with some hotels’ housekeeping teams to learn more about the items that are commonly and frequently left behind in hotel rooms, and what to do to retrieve them in these unfortunate events. Have a read, make a checklist, and the next time you put up at a hotel, run through your list so that you will not have to leave behind anything.
