On a hot summer day, especially like the merciless sun we have in Singapore, is the perfect time to have a cold beer down your throat. I have a typical guy’s appetite – I love food like pizzas, burgers, steaks and fried chicken, and the choice of drink will always be a pint of ice cold beer. Or should I say, there is always time for beer.
Beerfest Asia 2013 was concluded last week and I am sure beer lovers had a field day sampling more than 400 types of beers from all over the world. One of the beers that made its debut in Singapore is Tucher Beer. Not many people have heard of Tucher Beer, yet, as they have only started to distribute in the region recently. But if you enjoy your beer, and are always on the lookout for something new, you must try Tucher Beer.
There are many Bavarian beers, but only Tucher combines the venerable Bavarian brewing tradition with the consummate skill it takes to produce exquisite top-notch beers.
[ Giveaway ] Tucher Beer is partnering ladyironchef to give away 5 cartons of beer, so read on to find out how you can win them.

Taiwan is a fantastic country with rich history, friendly locals, amazing street food and beautiful landscape. Most visitors usually only go to Taipei, and it is a shame because there are many other cities that are worth visiting.
Taichung, for instance, is a wonderful holiday destination. For a start, it is only an hour away from Taoyuen International Airport. From there, you can easily make day trips to other places like Kaohsiung, Tainan and Changhua. The main draw for tourists is Feng Chia Night Market – one of the biggest, if not the biggest, night markets in Taiwan. There are many things to see, do and eat in Taichung. The next time you plan a trip to Taiwan, you have to include Taichung in your itinerary.
Here is a travel guide on the things to do in Taichung.
The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is a favourite among businessmen who have meetings at the International Commerce Centre, and young couples who enjoy the finest things in life.
The modern and classy interior design makes the hotel an absolute gem in the skyscraper-dominated city. It is not difficult to see why the Ritz-Carlton is one of the top hotels in the world. The service? Perfection. The staff know each guest by their first name, and they are always polite and courteous, and it feels like they are genuinely happy to see you at the hotel.
Visiting Keukenhof – the famous tulip garden in Amsterdam – was one of those experiences that I will never forget. The best thing is now you can also witness the beautiful tulips in Singapore without flying to the Netherlands.
