ABBEY: Next thing we knew, Chateraise shops are popping up. We headed to their cafe at Compass One and enjoyed their decadent Double Fantasy and Dorayaki. The cream is smooth and not to sweet as well as the read bean. And we washed them all down with a cup of velvety coffee and matcha. Chateraise Japanese Confectionery Cafe in Singapore WILL:  Some Chateraise offers a seat down cafe. I saw some of it at Punggol Waterway and CompossOne. Since it offers my favourite Doroyaki and Double Fantasy, I definitely asked Abbey for us to try their hot drinks.  My go-to is their hot Matcha. If you already went to Japan, you can tell that ingredients is definitely a Japanese standard. Hot drinks + cream puff + non-stop throwing ideas with husband = perfect date!   If you are pretty bored of other cafes?

ABBEY : Mistakes to Avoid and Tips in Navigating  At last we set our feet to the Land of the Rising Sun. It is not without its navigation challenges as you explore but fret not. The technology, through internet and apps, will help you towards an enjoyable vacation. We had Google Maps and Japan Travel Apps installed in our phone and we also got the pocket wifi for the duration of our trip. The apps are helpful specially with the train timings. They even show the platform where you supposed to wait for your train. Our Japan Rail Pass is with the Green Car but you still have to book a seat reservation.  We opted to book the either ends of the coach to place our luggages and still have extra legroom.  Always check if reservation is required in trains else you take the local train which takes more travel time.  We ask hotel staff for directions to confirm where we’re going. Signs in Japan are written in their language along with English, and sometimes Korean and Chinese. ...

ABBEY: Suzuki Cafe became the talk of the town almost overnight. The beans are already being sold long before the cafe opened. But the strategy is brilliant: they open their coffee shop on the same venue as their warehouse at Chin Bee Ave (nearest MRT is Boon Lay).  No facility yet for booking that you need to go there and register your mobile number and they will send a message once the seat is ready. We had a 15-minute wait time during our visit.  I had a cappuccino with a not-so-usual latte art as like with the other cafes. The coffee is smooth and not too bitter. Each drink came with a biscuit. The staff are also helpful enough to advise on which beans I need to purchase for my cold brew and moka pot.  I’ll be trying the ones from Kenya and Papua New Guinea but a bit pricey. WILL:  This coffeeshop created a buzz and Abbey was so hooked up that we decided to travel from northeast to west of Singapore to check out their Japanese inspired cafe. It buzz so what do ...

ABBEY: Dinner at Keyaki is our last hurrah for our 10th wedding anniversary. It is one of the top Japanese restaurants in Singapore and we booked for their 6-course dinner.  The ambiance of the place is like on the movies set in Japan and the music is low almost quiet and then you will just wait for the samurais to come in for action to begin :)  All the items are carefully crafted and the presentation is superb. You’ll get excited when the next item will arrive and how will it arrive. I really like the teapot soup, wagyu beef shank and the sashimi (good wasabi). A great way to wrap up our milestone.  WILL:  10th year celebration isn’t over! We are thankful for Citibank’s 1-for-1 deal and we got the chance to tick off Keyaki out of our must to eat list. So what is rave about this Keyaki Restaurant located at Pan Pacific Hotel? Since the travel restriction implemented people are looking on ways to feel that they are somewhat outside the country. And behold! Keyaki ha...
