Is Da Michele Singapore Worth It? Honest Review vs $10 Pizza

ABBEY: During our recent staycation at Mercure ICON, we decided to have dinner at da Michele, a popular Italian restaurant that’s well-loved for its authentic flavors. The place was buzzing with diners when we arrived, and we happily joined the queue, knowing it must be worth the wait.


We were seated al fresco, which gave us a front-row view of the hotel’s bustling driveway. Perfect for some casual people-watching as we enjoyed our meal.


We had Burrata & Capocollo Pizza, a thin-crust delight topped with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, savory ham, and crowned with a generous ball of creamy burrata in the center. While it was delicious on its own, drizzling some chili oil over it took the flavors to an entirely new level; spicy, salty, slightly sweet, with that perfect smoky note from the crust. Absolutely wow-worthy!


Next was the Orecchiette All’Aragosta Alla Positanese pasta. The texture was spot-on, chewy and al dente, paired beautifully with a rich tomato sauce and hearty chunks of Italian sausage. Each bite was comforting yet full of bold Italian flavors. All of these good food along with a refreshing mojito. 


da Michele is a great choice for a romantic dinner spot in Singapore. The cozy ambiance, authentic Italian dishes, and lively atmosphere make it ideal for couples. It would be even better if they had live music to complete the vibe!

WILL: Have you ever taken a bite of food and, for a split second, felt teleported? That’s exactly what happened to me at L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele Singapore—one forkful of pasta and my brain whispered, “Girl… are we in Italy right now?”


Here’s the funny thing—I had no idea this place is world-famous, with its Naples branch even featured in the movie Eat Pray Love. To me, it was just a spot my friend recommended, conveniently located at the ground floor of Mercure ICON Singapore where we had our staycation.


Fast-forward to that afternoon: no reservation, just pure luck. The walk-in queue was short, and in 10 minutes, we were seated.

So… how’s the pizza and pasta?
You can really taste that everything is freshly made from scratch—yes, even the pasta. The flavors felt like we were transported to Italy. Yayyy! Finally! Haha!

Do I recommend it? For the taste—absolutely yes. But will it replace your favorite less-than-$10 pizza joint? Maybe not. Still, it’s worth trying at least, especially if you’re a foodie or an Eat Pray Love fan.

🇨🇭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.

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...
