Mandarin Oriental Singapore HAUS 65 Review: Is It Worth the Price?

ABBEY:  For our 15th wedding anniversary, we celebrated with a 3D2N staycation at the iconic Mandarin Oriental Singapore, and it turned out to be one of the most relaxing and pampering hotel stays we’ve had. The experience started seamlessly. There was no need to queue at the hotel lobby because our check-in was done directly at the club lounge. While the staff prepared our room keys, we were invited to enjoy breakfast and choose what we wanted from the menu. I immediately went for the Nasi Lemak. The chicken was crispy outside yet juicy inside, pairing perfectly with the fragrant and well-seasoned coconut rice. Then came the champagne. They were serving Ruinart, and naturally I had a couple of glasses to start the morning. After all, it was a champagne breakfast. The best part? The free-flow champagne continued from 7AM all the way to 7PM. Shortly after breakfast, our room was ready for early check-in and we were thrilled to be assigned a high-floor room. Waiting for us insi...

Finally! Chick-fil-A Singapore is HERE! (The Only One in Asia!)

ABBEY:  We tried a couple of times to visit Chick-fil-A, but the long queues always made us hesitate. Eventually, we realized the line wasn’t going anywhere, so we went for it. Good thing we did, because the wait was much shorter when we finally visited. We ordered the original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich and the Deluxe Sandwich. Both were impressively juicy and full of flavor in every bite, from the soft bun to the perfectly cooked chicken. The Deluxe Sandwich, topped with melted cheese, looked just as good as it tasted and was definitely photo-worthy. On the side, we had their signature Waffle Potato Fries along with all six dipping sauces. Personal favorites? The Chick-fil-A sauce, Garden Herb Ranch, and Honey Mustard stood out. To complete the meal, we treated ourselves to a rich, hand-spun chocolate milkshake. This is one of those moments where calorie counting takes a backseat, and honestly, it’s worth it.

Why Taiwan is a Foodie Paradise: Must-Visit Spots Every Tourist Needs to Try

ABBEY:  7-Eleven If there’s one place that defines convenience in Taiwan, it’s 7-Eleven. We found ourselves making multiple trips, whether for quick snacks or unique finds like the limited-edition mojito in a tetra pack. One highlight was reuniting with a Coke Slurpee at a branch in Yilan . It felt nostalgic in the best way. Whether you’re grabbing food to go or dining in, 7-Eleven offers a wide variety of options. The dine-in areas are clean and well-maintained, with tissues and wipes available so you can tidy up after eating. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference for the next customer. Starbucks Reserve Dream Plaza Taipei We visited the Starbucks Reserve Dream Plaza, and it’s easily one of the most impressive Starbucks branches we’ve seen. The space is massive, with dedicated sections for coffee and tea. They even serve cocktails. Yes, I had an Espresso Martini at 9 AM, no regrets. Seating is abundant, so it’s easy to find a cozy spot. It’s a great place to peop...
