Batam Indonesia

ABBEY: We dreamed for this vacation since we were together in Singapore, but time eluded us. So when opportunity came, I grabbed it and booked for a 2d1n package in batam for only 236sgd. We had a 1hour ferry ride from harbourfront centre ferry station to sekupang ferry terminal. It was a time travel. We left Singapore at 8:30 and reached sekupang at 8:30 also because of the 1-hour difference of timezone. We had our SGD exchanged to rupiah. If u want to be a millionaire/billionaire, come to Indonesia :) we began our day tour. On one of our stop, I became thirsty and bought a can of soda for 15000 :) We went to go-kart racing tracks, temples, factory outlets where I bought my Facebook shirt. We had our lunch at Golden Prawn. Imagine I ordered fried chicken at a seafood restau. Haha. Our last stop for the day tour is a 2-hour massage including a body scrub. The day tour is exhaustive but we had a very good time. Our tour guide, Dennis, gave us tips during our trip. I recommend him whenever you will have trips here. The stay in the hotel is good too. They were very accommodating. Also included in the hotel perk is a set dinner and a buffet breakfast. At 12:30, we left the place, had lunch at A&W in Batam Megamall and hot choco at J.Co while we wait for our return ferry. At 5:30, we reached SG.












WILL: So now, I am in a different time zone and millionaire again. Second time for Indonesia, but this time its for leisure :). And this is my 3rd island. Now, this my very first to be on a guided tour, wala na time magayos ng itinerary. 

 Ryan Bang as our tour guide. Haha! Ang kulit nya. Nakakatuwa. Then he always ask us to tip over the performers when we like the shows, anyway, who will not tip over the man who eats fire, glasses and even the masseurs.

 The tour took us a whole day. We had a body scrub and massage for two hours. Hotel check in, set dinner at the golden view's beer garden then a more than half day sleep. Terima kasih Mr Lapuz for granting this trip.

🇨🇭Läderach, Lindt or Cailler? Which is the Best Chocolate Museum in Switzerland?

ABBEY: I am a BIG fan of chocolate. And there’s no way we’ll be missing the chocolate factories when we go to Switzerland. Upon landing in Zurich, we dropped our luggages at the hotel and off we go to our first order of “business”: go to House of Läderach at Bilten. The train staff even told us that it’s far and we should go to Lindt instead. Little did he know that we will go there as well. House of Läderach is not that much crowdy and we liked it. We explore the museum how the chocolate was made. We had a sensory experience where we got a chance to taste their chocolate while watching a video that explains how to spot fresh chocolates. Upon seeing their molds, process, and their story we were led to four fountains. Yes, they are all chocolate; milk, dark, white, and blonde. We also experienced to be a chocolatier even for a while. I made my own bar with pistachios and pine nuts and completed it with a ribbon. And while in queue at the cashier we were given samples of liqueur chocola...

Duo Deluxe Golden Village - Paya Lebar Laser-projected Movie Hall

ABBEY: Golden Village Paya Lebar boasts its laser projection system and its spacious twin leather seats. So we went ahead and watch Justice League on a weekend.  Only the food and drinks bought in the cinema will be allowed.  I thought the seats are able to recline but its not. The space between the other twins are not that apart. I can still feel the feet or maybe the knee of the person behind me.  When it comes to the projection I don’t find any difference with other cinema. Maybe I’m not just keen into that technology. Duo Deluxe Golden Village - SEAT  Duo Deluxe Golden Village - TICKET PRICE Duo Deluxe Golden Village -  WILL:  We are not that bored to the old seat or lazy boys kind of cinemas, we just want to explore new things to serve our readers. So here, we went to the first laser cinema of Golden Village at Singapore Post (Paya Lebar).  This Duo Deluxe is one of the latest offering of GV! It has leather seat...

Shaw Theatres premiere Review: Is This Premium Cinema Worth It?

ABBEY:  Recently, we finally got to experience the newly renovated Shaw Theatres Lido along Orchard Road just in time for The Devil Wears Prada 2 hitting the silver screen. From the moment we stepped in, it was clear that Shaw has elevated the cinema experience into something far more premium and comfortable for moviegoers in Singapore. One of the first things you will notice is the impressive selection of food and beverage options available. Guests are spoiled for choice with concepts like Centro, Espresso and Matcha Bar , and even a Cocktail Bar, making it feel more like an upscale lounge than a traditional cinema. If you are planning a date night or weekend movie experience, the value is surprisingly decent too. A SGD90 package already includes a pair of Lido Premiere tickets along with two SGD15 F&B credits. The service also stood out during our visit. An usher personally welcomed us and guided us to our leather recliner seats while explaining how the in-seat servi...
