Singapore has a bit of everything for everyone. Whether you’re into living the high-life and drinking overpriced cocktails, or wandering the streets to experience a bit of what the enclaves offer culturally, be it Chinatown, Little India or the Muslim influenced streets of Kampon Glam. Here’s the 8 bits we loved the most.

Singapore – He finally got his chicken porridge
We spent three days exploring Singapore and here’s what we did, where we ate, how we got around and where we stayed.
10 places to eat and drink in Singapore
We ate a lot of food in our three days in Singapore. There’s heaps of western food to be eaten, Asian delights and even ice-cream vendors on every other street. But not all food in Singapore was created equal. Oh no. We had some hits, but we also had some misses, even at famed Michelin […]
What to do in Hong Kong
Three days was fine, but with an extra day we might have been able to hit up Hong Kong Disneyland and eat at a few more places. Here’s what we managed to do in our allotted time. Harbour Front We stayed in Tsim Sha Tsui (more details here) and were in walking distance to […]
Where to eat in Hong Kong
Everywhere you look in Hong Kong there’s food to eat. Due to the cultural heritage of the place and the influence of the British, such vast extremes, from my fave English lunch spot Pret a Manger right through to Cantonese local cuisine…and a lot that lies somewhere in the space between. There’s also a myriad […]
Hong Kong – The New York of Asia
Holy Smokes, we love this place. It doesn’t stop. People everywhere. Noises, smells and all the food. It’s also this crazy juxtaposition between east and west. The hangover from the British empire with shopping malls, high tea and Marks & Spencer and then the tall apartment blocks you’d expect to see, bird markets, street markets […]
A decent list of places to eat on the North Coast
Not our first visit to the North Coast, but another chance to eat all the food, explore the beaches and go back to some of our favourite spots we’ve been to before. This time, we threw in some new places too…otherwise, life would be a little less well-travelled. Bangalow, Byron and Ballina are the three beautiful B’s we like to visit when we visit our magical family here. While here, this is where we ate.
What to do on Gili T – The beautiful busy island
Most of our ‘things to do’ revolve around ‘what we’re going to eat’, but Gili T also offered some cool activities, which I wouldn’t miss.
Where to eat and drink in Phuket
We love Thai food and were so excited to arrive in Phuket. We had mentally prepared for the best Thai of our lives, actually in Thailand. We have a great local Thai restaurant in Auckland, so expected this and the rest. We ate as we went and tried the food in Karon, Patong and Phuket […]
Probably won’t go back – Phuket
Before you wonder what the heck kinda travel blog this is and stop reading, don’t. Just because it wouldn’t be on the top of our list for places to go back to, doesn’t mean we didn’t have a good time. Is it our favourite place? No. Were the beaches the best we’ve seen? No. Did […]
