The Karting Arena - Singapore Fun Karting Circuit

ABBEY: The Chua boys were excited when we told them we will go for a karting session on their visit. 

We got a 35SGD/pax rate at Karting Arena. This includes two round of simulation, 10-minute actual race and a “driving license” for a year. I can say that the simulation is fun. You can bump into your competitions and still get out unscathed. But it’s different on the actual track. You need to turn the stirring wheel hard to get a good cut in the corner else you’ll eat up time. And you will definitely feel the Gs. 

I completed 7 laps and finished second. Good thing that the karts’ speed can be controlled remotely. And with this, over speeding and accidents can be avoided.

WILL: Abbey and I last karting was 12years ago! I know! We are sooo old haha! Singapore have 2-3 karting companies but it is quite far from Punggol. Well, due to the proximity, option to explore that activity is invisible for our goal. 

Well, because my grownup nephews were visiting Singapore, this is the time to explore that karting with them. 

We went for The Karting Arena. They are located at Turf Club. You can reach them via Sixth Avenue MRT or board the free shuttle from Singapore Botanic Gardens.  

Fee of S$35 includes the karting license (valid for one year), 2 simulator and 15mins actual race. On simulators, we enjoyed the day already. Then we were formed and were given a safety video and instructions. 

We were launched and the fun begins! In reality, the people with guts and skill will win this kind of race. Three of the guys won! Hate it! Haha. 

You can see the race on the youtube video above! *wink*wink

Café Amazon Singapore at Jewel Changi Airport

ABBEY: After a sumptuous lunch we went to Amazon Cafe for coffee. The decorations are of a cartoony-jungle so don’t be afraid to go in. I tried their amazon coffee. Funny thing is that it is not marked as bestseller or must-try on their menu since that is their name. But the staff clarified that it is. The coffee taste good; strong but not bitter. 

We partnered it with a slice of red velvet cheesecake which is by the way smooth and has the right amount of sweetness. Totally recommended. Next time I’ll try their iced version of honey black coffee.

WILL: After eating a good lunch at White Restaurant why not go to uncommon cafe and try something new? Jewel Changi houses the Amazon Cafe.

It is Thai and “jungly” inspired cafe. What is the best thing to order? I went for, well of course, Thai Milk Tea. OMG! The thickness and tea aroma will enveloped your mouth. Oh darn! It is truly delightful! The red velvet cake is smooth and sweetness is just perfect for their coffee or their tea. 

Are you going to your usual coffee or you’ll treat yourself with the new Amazon cafe in town?

ALOFT® | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

ABBEY: Aloft KL is our hotel of choice for our recent Malaysia escapade. We were not given an early checkin but they were able to store our luggages until we got our room. The hotel lounge and lobby are spacious. Guests can play games, get into their business staff, drink in the bar or just lazy out to one of their couches.

My father also got a birthday greeting from them. The room, sheets and pillows are clean. What I really like is their french press. That’s different from the usual automatic coffee machine. I need to make the coffee on my own.

Our stay includes buffet breakfast and the food didn’t disappoint. I enjoyed a couple of plates of pakora, bacon, sausages, iddly, prata, nasi lemak and fried rice. We enjoyed and got relaxed during our stay.

WILL: Abbey is a member of Marriott Bonvoy! And that is reason why we always booked our accommodation when we are out of Singapore. Marriott has a good variety fleet of hotels under their wings and one of them is Aloft. 

Aloft is in a good location, it is in KL Sentral. They have their own passage connected from the KL Sentral Station! Nice right? Since there is no available room for our requested early check-in, we left our luggages and fled to go to the tourist destinations. 

It is Papa RS’ bday week and Aloft surprised him with a ‘Happy Bday’ banner, balloon, and a cake. Awwwww! How sweet! We booked two (2) twin rooms. And we are astounded by the room lay-out. The closet is inside the bathroom area. To save spaces they used sliding doors. 

They offer not an ordinary coffee but a coffee grounds for your french press coffee maker. Their toiletries aroma is amazing and soothes our tired and sweaty skin. Haha. Bed gives us a lovely slumber after a day of kilometres of walks. 

They have the infinity pool that gives a nice view of the KL Sentral. They provided fruit infused waters. 

The buffet breakfast makes us happy and full until our lunchtime. Haha! My favourite there is the wide array of fruits! Rambutan, wintermelon and freshly squeezed fruits.
