ABBEY: During our recent trip to the UK, we had the opportunity to visit three incredible museums—all absolutely free to enter! These museums were the  Natural History Museum , the  British Museum , and the  National Maritime Museum . While admission is free, it’s important to note that  advance booking is required  for both the Natural History Museum and the British Museum due to high visitor demand. Each museum offers a unique experience that caters to a wide range of interests. Natural History Museum – A Fascinating Journey Through the Natural World This museum was a personal favorite. The exhibits featuring animals from all over the world were both captivating and educational. Some of the displays made me wonder if the animals would make good pets (though most, of course, are best admired from a safe distance!). Others were simply awe-inspiring—reminding us just how small we are in comparison to the giants of nature. British Museum – A Treasure Trove of Hum...

On Cloud 5 Waterproof sneakers used for daily runs, city walks, and rainy travel days On Running Cloud 5 Waterproof Sneakers For: Rainy days, airport sprints, city strolls, light hikes Now, meet my everyday hero: the On Cloud 5 Waterproof shoes. We were actually just scouting for a new walking shoe—something comfier than our old Nikes. And then we saw someone running in ankle-deep snow in Mürren wearing Ons! Swiss brand, Swiss snow—okay, sold! These shoes are super waterproof and non-slip, which is a huge win when you’re dragging your luggage through rainy streets or slippery train stations. They’re not bulky at all, so I even wear them to work here in sunny Singapore! Oh—and have you heard about the daily rain in Scotland and Ireland? Yep, we’ve been there too, and guess what? On Cloud kept our socks dry. Haha! I never thought I’d be giggling in the rain, but dry feet make everything better. Also—fun fact: We’ve worn our On Cloud 5s for almost a year now, around 4 times a week, ...

ABBEY: If you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine, Tamoya Udon & Tempura at Plaza Singapura is a must-visit spot. During our recent visit, we were greeted with a bit of a queue, but thankfully, the wait was short—we were seated within just a few minutes. I decided to try the  Beef & Pork Combo Don , which came topped with a perfectly cooked  onsen egg . What stood out right away was the generous portion of meat. Unlike most Japanese rice bowls where the rice often outweighs the meat, Tamoya flips the script. The bowl was filled with tender, savory slices of beef and pork that satisfied both my heart and my hunger. Another highlight was their  Kakiage —a mixed vegetable tempura that came in a sizeable portion. It was impressively light, not too oily, and paired wonderfully with the dipping sauce provided. One of the great perks here is the  free-flow side dishes . We helped ourselves to a variety of options including  kelp, corn, and pickled radish , which adde...

ABBEY: When you’re in search of a massage that truly targets deep-seated tension and leaves your body feeling renewed,  Hannah TCM  is a hidden gem worth discovering. We were on the lookout for a place where we could genuinely feel relief from our aching bodies—and Hannah TCM delivered exactly that. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this isn’t your typical spa. The therapists here take their work seriously—this is more than just a service, it’s a craft. Be prepared for an intense experience. You’ll be kneaded like dough (in the best way possible), and you may be surprised to discover just how many areas of your body are carrying tension. The pressure can be quite firm, which is great for working out those stubborn muscle knots, but you can request a gentler touch if needed—just keep in mind that the stronger pressure is where the real magic happens. We’re currently on our  second session  and the feeling after each visit is the same: refreshed, recharged,...

As someone who resides in Singapore, arriving in London as a tourist brought a few surprises. While both cities are world-famous travel hubs, they offer very different experiences—especially when it comes to comfort, convenience, and everyday expectations. If you’re planning to visit London and have already explored Singapore, here’s what you shouldn’t expect in London, plus a few things you’ll surprisingly love.  1. Safety in London vs Singapore Singapore is one of the safest countries in the world—you can leave your bag on a table at a food court and it’ll still be there when you return. London? Not quite the same. During our visit, we witnessed a pickpocket incident on the Elizabeth Line on our very first day In London, you can’t leave your belongings unattended, even for a short moment. Always keep your bags close, zipped up, and in sight. 2. Train System: The London Tube vs Singapore MRT If you’re used to Singapore’s MRT, the London Underground might come as a shock....

ABBEY: If you love discovering new and exciting food, you have to try Bingz, a Chinese restaurant that’s bringing a unique twist to the burger scene. Unlike your typical soft buns, Bingz serves up  crispy, flaky buns  that are packed with flavorful fillings like pork, beef, and chicken. But the crispy burgers are just the beginning! Their menu also feature  noodles, wontons, crispy fries, and refreshing drinks.  My personal favorites? The  Signature Pork Burger , which delivers a delicious blend of natural spices without being overwhelming, and the  Wontons with Chili Oil —not too spicy, but with just the right touch of numbing heat. Oh, and here’s a bonus:  their drinks are refillable!  So, if you’re craving something crispy, savory, and satisfying, head over to Bingz and treat yourself to this one-of-a-kind burger experience. Bingz in Singapore: Crispy Burger & Wontons You’ll Drool Over! WILL:  Is Bingz an abomination of the classic bu...
