From absorbing the hustle bustle of Brussels, stumbling on hipster gems in Antwerp and Gent, to living a fairytale life in Bruges, there were many things to adore about Belgium, as I made my way through the country over 5-6 days. Here were my top five highlights of the trip: 1. Fries and Tartare sauce… Read More 5 Highlights for Foodies in Belgium
We stumbled upon this coffee shop by chance. It was King’s Day, mayhem everywhere and we had about an hour before our lunch reservation. I searched up “coffee shops near me” on Google maps and about three walking-distance suggestions popped up. The photos of Lot Sixty One’s perfect latte art coupled with a 4.6 star… Read More Lot Sixty One (Amsterdam): A Hipster’s Favourite Coffee Shop
Stepping off the Eurostar from Paris and walking out of King’s Cross Station to see McDonald’s and Chop Chop brought me an overwhelming wave of nostalgia. I would see these two familiar shop fronts every day I walked home when I was studying at University College London 10 years ago (eek). Yet these may be… Read More Sunday (London): Queue-Worthy Buttermilk Pancakes and Coffee
Six months ago I moved to a city with some of the best quality brunches, coffees, local food, hipster restaurants and speakeasy cocktail bars in Asia. It’s been an eventful half year of eating, drinking and socialising. I know there is so much I have yet to cover, but here is a list of my… Read More Top 10 Brunch and Coffee Shops in Singapore
As part of our ‘Robinhood’ fundraising event at INSEAD, I auctioned off a Local Eats & Tasty Treats tour of Singapore, raising over SGD300 (!), to take people around to try lesser known local dishes and hidden gems around the city.

I’m always on the lookout for a hearty brunch and hipster coffee spot. Now that I’ve moved to Singapore, the number of cafe choices is almost as overwhelming as my intensive 10-month MBA course at INSEAD. Cute cafes are dotted all over the country. Yet in spite of all the competition, ATLAS Coffeehouse definitely stands… Read More ATLAS Coffeehouse (SG): Hearty Brunch with Killer Pancakes
Walking out of Sedona – possibly the most upscale hotel in Yangon, or all of Myanmar – from our friend’s wedding, we shouldn’t have been surprised when a middle-aged taxi driver uncle quoted a seemingly ridiculous 8000 kyat to take us to our lunch destination. Fate would have us refuse on the basis of not-getting-ripped-off, because… Read More Beyond Yangon and All Around Myanmar in 9 Days
I honestly love coffee exploring as much as I love food exploring. There’s something so necessary about smelling those beans and sipping a hot drink when the sun is out, no matter where in the world I am. Plus I love how it doesn’t compromise the number of meals I can intake in the day.… Read More 9 Coffee Shops to Visit in London
1. It’s not all about food – Do take a trip to Sapa or Halong Bay Hanoi did not turn out to be the Bangkok of Vietnam, as I had expected. While we had some good meals, it’s difficult to come up with a fruitful list of must-try spots because there probably aren’t a lot… Read More 5 Things You Need to Know as a Foodie Travelling to Hanoi
