Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory is every child’s dreamland. And we might just have a chance to experience the fantasy. Well, close enough.

There is this chocolate factory themed restaurant – a new dining concept to be unveiled in Universal Studios Orlando called The Toothsome Chocolate Factory – that is modelled after the one in Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, making our hearts melt as we reminisce the days where all we ever wanted was to win a golden ticket.

While an official date is not set in stone, Universal Studios Orlando has mentioned that their latest dining concept will open later this year in 2016. Here is what you can expect from the upcoming The Toothsome Chocolate Factory that will be situated along the Universal CityWalk.

by / No Comments

Colony Farm To Fork

One of our favourite places to head to for buffets in Singapore is Colony. Located on level three of The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, Colony is a well-appointed yet cosy restaurant offering the best of Singapore’s heritage cuisines. A dinner at Colony never disappoints.

We returned this week for Colony’s monthly “Farm To Fork” special, where monthly-exclusive dishes that are sustainable sourced, are brought right to your dining table. This promotion happens from now till June 2016.

Colony

In the month of March 2016, the featured sustainably farmed produce is the finest Irish beef by John Stone. This means that you can have free-flow quality beef steaks on top of the regular buffet spread. This is completely a steal!

And that’s not all. Quote “ladyironchef” when you make your reservation to receive a complimentary bottle of house wine for a minimum booking of 4 persons for the “Farm to Fork” promotion at Colony from Sundays to Thursdays between 21 March to 28 April 2016.

Caffe Latte

Just like the Big Mac Index that was created by The Economist almost three decades ago, the prices of specific food and drinks around the world reflect the purchasing-power parity (PPP) and the cost of living of the city or country.

People are increasingly becoming interested and appreciative of a good cuppa, and a fantastic go-to beverage wherever we travel to is always a lovely hot latte.

Of course, there is a very stark and obvious price fluctuation between these major cities and they do in fact, reflect the cost and standard of living in that city itself. In this light-hearted article, we explore the prices of a cup of latte from a cafe or coffee house from 10 major cities in Asia Pacific.

So just How Much is a Cup of Latte in Asia Pacific? Let us find out in this latte index.

bar and billard raffles hotel

Living in one of the world’s most expensive cities has its pros and cons. While those residing in Singapore are blessed with an impressive variety of watering holes, the drawback would be the exorbitant prices of alcohol.

These days, it is extremely common to pay at least S$20 for a glass of champagne in Singapore; going out for drinks is far from affordable.

So, imagine our surprise when we were told that Raffles Hotel’s Bar & Billiard Room is offering an awesome value-for-money promotion. You guys, two glasses of premium champagne, four freshly shucked oysters and a complimentary bucket of Indian flatbreads papadums – all at only S$30++ on every Friday from 6pm to 9pm.

Now, that is a rare indulgent treat without an extravagant price tag!

Besides the 6 signature buns flashed on the overhead menu, you can also grab a ‘Naked’ (S$4.30) and original Squeezed! bun filled with froyo only.

This unique concept has been making waves on social media lately and we just had to have a go.

Cherry Blossoms 3

Cherry Blossoms in Singapore is no longer just a fantasy. From now until 27 March 2016 from 9am to 9pm daily, the Flower Dome at Gardens by The Bay will showcase these pretty sakura or Japanese cherry blossoms, with more than 20 varieties on display.

As of Monday 14 March 2016, most of these cherry blossoms are already in full bloom and if you are planning a visit down, it is a great time now.

Cherry Blossoms 2

This has been dubbed as an ‘experimental floral display’ and the main aim is to showcase flowers that are not usually seen or found in Singapore. The display is aptly named ‘Blossom Beats’ and is styled as a traditional Japanese garden with different coloured cherry blossoms – from pure white to different shades of pink.

We made our way down to Gardens By The Bay to experience the magic of these ethereal Japanese sakuras and enjoy them in full bloom.
