Travelling with my Canon PowerShot G16

Boracay

One of the more frequent questions asked by my readers is what cameras I use, and I also have many asking me for recommendations on which ones to get. Well, there is no definite answer, because it really depends on individual’s needs, preferences and budget. But if I were to recommend one camera for a day-to-day all-purpose functionality, it would be the Canon PowerShot G16.

Canon Powershot G16

When Canon asked if I would like to play with the new Canon PowerShot G16, the idea of owning the new Canon camera is impossible to resist, and I said yes in a heartbeat.

The Canon G16 has quickly become my favourite camera for travelling. Since getting the Canon G16, I have been bringing it with me everywhere I go as it is light yet sturdy, super responsive and takes very good photos, especially in low light conditions.

Like the old saying goes: “A photo tells a thousand words”, so in this post, I will show you some of the photos that I have taken with my Canon G16, and also share with you 5 reasons why I love the camera.

Happy Hour at Gravity Bar, Carlton Hotel Singapore

Gravity Bar Cocktails

What constitutes to a good bar? Great drinks, tasty snacks, a hideout where you can relax after a long day at work, and ideally, it should play nice music that make you feel at home. Gravity Bar at Carlton Hotel Singapore, one of our favourite secret hideouts in town, is one such place.

With many tempting promotions, chill at Gravity Bar and celebrate Happy Hour with drinks from opening to 8 pm daily. Selected house wines are available at attractive prices, including draft beer from $8++ per half pint, house pours, martinis and cocktails from $10++ (U.P. S$14 – S$16). If not, go for a sparkling wine cocktail party – it is only S$15++ per glass (U.P. S$22++). Just typing these make me crave for a booze and I am thankful Gravity Bar is so centrally located and convenient.

And what marries good drink best? Better snacks, of course! Munch on mini portobello mushrooms and the classic local chicken wings marinated with prawn paste. Cheese lovers will fall head over heels in love with the crispy nachos that is served with three types of cheeses. Another favourite is the cheese fries that is generously sprinkled with shredded seaweed.

The other reason why we love Gravity Bar is its resident band Kirk & Marsha playing live music. Enjoy the band’s acoustic rendition of contemporary pop songs, oldies and ballads all night long from Mon to Thu 7.15am – 11.15pm; and Fri, Sat & eve of PH 7.15pm – 12 Midnight.

Whether it is having an apéritif before heading elsewhere for dinner, or chilling out with friends, Gravity Bar is a sophisticated and elegant space that is good for all occasions. With the ongoing Happy Hour promotions, there is no reason not to drop by Gravity Bar. See you there!
