Parco Caffe – Park Al Fresco Dining With Indoor Comfort
Parco Caffè is one of those unique off-the-beaten-track dining destinations that marketers should check out for private or corporate event options. Located in the much forgotten Raeburn Park (site of old Gan Eng Seng School) just behind the former Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, this charming restaurant is almost impossible to get to without a car. But its inaccessibility […]
Pat Na Shan (Mount Butler) & Jardine’s Lookout, Hong Kong

Mak’s Noodles – Best Wonton Noodles In Hong Kong?

Yee Shun Milk Company – Legendary Steamed Milk, Hong Kong
Yee Shun Milk Company Legendary Steamed Milk was a chance encounter during my recent trip to Hong Kong. In fact, the concept of a milk company that set up a walk-in F&B outlet was foreign to me. Aren’t they supposed to just milk their cows in some distant land, pasteurise the liquid and have it […]

Rediscovering A True Legend of the Seas
Royal Caribbean International’s Asian-based cruise ship Legend of the Seas looked pretty much the same from its facade since my last cruise with her in December 2011.
