We often share with our blog readers the benefits of using the Citibank PremierMiles Card. We've redeemed plane tickets for trips to the US (2016 & 2019) and Europe (2023), opting for Qatar Airways this time for two compelling reasons: they offer great value for our miles and boast the perfect ETA for Zurich. But the excitement doesn't end with complimentary flights; Qatar Airways surprised us with a generous welcome gift – 45,000 Avios points. Avios points offer versatile options: 1. Flights and upgrades 2. Hotel bookings 3. Shopping For this particular trip, we opted to splurge our points at Qatar Duty Free, bidding farewell to Qatar Airways. Stay tuned for our next post detailing why we won't be boarding Qatar Airways again. Plus, with Avios points expiring and no imminent trips planned to the Middle East or Europe, it made sense to indulge.

ABBEY: This is one of the restaurants that offers dimsum buffet. We indulged in their shrimp dumpling and very plump siew mai while dipping in balsamic vinegar with ginger. The xiao long bao is kind of small in size which in turn packs less soup.  I enjoyed the chicken feet. They are flavorful and tender. Got a serving of octopus, red bean and salted egg custard bun, deep fried prawn dumpling, carrot cake, and wanton noodles as well. Not that much meat in the pork ribs though.  WILL: This is Orchard's most affordable dimsum haven!
