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.

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.

Ramadan Bazaar

It is Ramadan again! Every year, we look forward to the bazaars, and in particular, the one at Geylang Serai. Last year, we saw many creative snacks that got the nation going gaga over.

And this year, we have psychedelic rainbow bagels, cloud-like cotton candy drinks and even delicious salted egg yolk sauce drizzled beautifully on freshly made churros in store for us all.

Trudging through the bustling bazaar at Geylang Serai on a weekend afternoon, where 90% of the stalls are already open, it was packed with people buying some food to-go for Iftar. The stalls are all open for business and it will last all the way till early July, with most stalls ceasing operations on 05 July 2016.

Here are the highlights from Ramadan Bazaar 2016.
