Exploring the Breathtaking Lao Cai Valley in Sapa, Vietnam
#outdooradventure #travel #sapa #vietnam #thingstodo #hiking #trekking
Hiking through Lao Cai Valley was an unforgettable outdoor adventure. This serene valley is framed by misty mountains and filled with cascading rice terraces that seem to stretch endlessly. As I wandered along the winding trails, I passed vibrant local villages, where the hospitality of the ethnic Hmong people added warmth to the journey.
The hike offers an excellent blend of nature and culture, with moderate trails suitable for most adventurers. Standing atop a hill, gazing over the valley’s stunning vistas, was a moment of pure tranquility. If you’re seeking a peaceful escape into nature and an authentic cultural experience, Lao Cai Valley is an absolute must-visit.
Decent
This was recommended by a friend, we decided to give it a try and found ourselves well indulged for a cup of cappuccino and some tasty fish tacos. Turns out it was amongst the best of decisions. In the days to come we tried several places but this one remained distinctly memorable.
Cappucinno was really silky and chocolatey too. Fish tacos were fresh and just nice for a light afternoon snack. If you're in the area and looking for a nice well made cup of coffee in Dubai, please do try this one!.

great food
What a nice place to have something to drink and chill out. We ordered two juices - Dragon Punch and Citrus Jamu. Both were very refreshing and tasted really good. For food we had the Chief Beef Burger and the Beetroot and Quinoa Bowl. Order the burger medium, and it came perfect. Loved the meat and their sauce, a very juicy and delicious burger!
The salad was very delicious and a very generous portion size, very complete for a meal. For dessert we tried the Carrot Cake and Blueberry Apple Crumble - both were amazing and vanished from our plates instantly! Super recommended for good tasting food in Singapore.

For brunch and brekkie
Brunch and smoothie bowl are good but the bread & toast are hardly chewable and very hard to cut! The first time we came the service was good but the second time they asked us to change places and then forgot about our orders, i shall have ordered like 3 times to remind them.
They are professionals but when they have many people they might get stressed and forget about orders. My experience here on the previous occasion was far nicer and so was the quality of food.

lovely food
Went here with some friends. It's got amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Don’t be shy if it looks busy! Their customer service is on point and they will get you seated and fed quickly. I went to this restaurant at least 7 times while I was in Bali and everything I ate and drank was delicious.
Very well priced for the quality of food and friendly attentive staff. The bathrooms are clean too which is lately rare in popular places. Overall, given the prices and good tasting food. This should definitely be visited.

Excellent food
Got a recommendation from our hotel front staff to have breakfast here. Place was bustling with dinners even when we came at 8am. So expect a crowd. They gave us a seat on the top area which was pretty cool. I think the prices are first glance were very competitive.
Staff was quick to take our orders and although I took some time to make a decision, they were very patient and even recommended some popular items i the menu. Food was also served in quick time even when they were busy. The only thing I will add for improvement is the layout of the tables and chairs just seem a bit crammed. Otherwise, a wonderful place.

The food was amazing and excellent. The staff and service also really high standard. There are free parking spots near the Café. It is quite full and maybe you have to wait to get a seat, but the staff will help out. The ambiance and atmosphere is cool.
I liked the menu and variety of food and drinks. The Café is located in a crowded street near many other shops and cafés. Plan a bit more time to get there. But the food is definitely worth the price and its worth to eat here. Typically 20-25 SGD for a set with brekkie, drink and something sweet.

Good coffee
This place ticks a lot of boxes, as they have a lot to offer. We started with a coffee each, I ordered a piccolo and my partner ordered a flat white, both with oat milk. They were made well and the texture was good, resulting in an enjoyable coffee, but for me the coffee itself was a bit basic in taste.
I prefer light roast as there is more going on in the cup. So having the choice of beans would be a huge plus to this place. Latte art could've been a bit better but that's me being picky too.

Excellent food
Amazing breakfast spot, tried and tested many. I came for breakfast and had avo toast with halloumi and an almond flat white. A friend of ours is coeliac and explained my allergies to the waitresses who were amazing at understanding our requirements and communicating them to other staff members, I felt extremely safe eating here which is such a good feeling.
The gluten free bread was some of the best I’ve had! Service was flawless everyone was so helpful and kind and it came out very quickly. It’s a little expensive but you get what you pay for. Then again it's difficult to find restaurants when you have someone in your group with special needs.

Lovely
This is one of my favourite places to eat in singapore. The food is always on point, and the staff couldn’t be sweeter. They offer a great selection, from super fluffy and light smoothie bowls to delicious eggs and protein bowls.
I’ve even created my own signature breakfast by swapping the bacon for broccoli and the hollandaise for ricotta cream – switch the sourdough to rye bread, (which is my absolute favorite)
#singaporetrip #thingstodo #afternoonteatime
excellent hangout
I had breakfast here today and absolutely loved it! The place is stunning, with a beautiful atmosphere and great design. Every dish I tried was incredibly delicious. Poke bowl was absolutely delicious. Very chill vibe, nice furniture, friendly staff.
The bartender took 15 minutes to make a bloody Mary, but the result was worth it. The service was impressively fast, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot

So glad that while looking for a good coffee shop we bumped into this one. It was in the morning while walking in the morning and saw the shop with nic tropical interiors. It is an open space area, the ambiance was so nice, it was not crowded when I was there, the coffee and food was amazing, I love how my eggs were cooked and coffee was done the way I wanted.
The staff was accommodating and what attracted me to this place is the color combination from the wall, furniture, and the plants. It also attracts some like minded and matured souls. We celebrated one of our friends 'birthday here. This is definitely a great spot for eating in Singapore.
#singaporetrip #thingstodo #afternoonteatime
lovely vibe
Such a fantastic cafe! Have been here to try their food & drinks almost every day we have been around the area as it was close to our hotel. We even celebrated a friend's birthday over here. The staff are friendly & attentive.
There was a time we had to wait for our smoothies for about 20 minutes which wasn’t good as we had an appointment we needed to get to. Apart from that the food & drinks we tried were fantastic! Definitely recommend!

Amanohashidate View Land: A Perfect Pics
#beachtime
Taking the chairlift up to Amanohashidate View Land was an adventure in itself. At the top, the view of the sandbar stretching across the bay was breathtaking. I joined locals in the tradition of bending over to view the scene upside down, which made it look like a bridge to the heavens. The combination of fun and natural beauty made this spot unforgettable.

Ine no Funaya: A Village on the Water
#beachtime
Ine no Funaya, with its unique boat houses lining the bay, was like stepping into a painting. These homes, where the first floor serves as a boathouse, reflected perfectly on the still waters. I explored the village by boat, getting a closer look at this harmonious blend of architecture and nature. It’s a quiet, timeless place that showcases the ingenuity of Japan’s coastal culture.

Kyoto by The Sea: Coastal Charm
#getgoing2025
Kyoto by the Sea offers a completely different side of Kyoto’s charm. The rugged coastline, dotted with fishing villages and scenic spots, felt like a world away from the bustling city. I savored fresh seafood, explored historic sites, and marveled at the natural beauty of Amanohashidate. It’s a hidden gem that reveals the diverse landscapes of this iconic region.

calm spot
A nice and relaxing restaurant for breakfast/brunch. They have great breakfast menu for 18 SGD only. My favorite is the mushroom scramble. The staff are great. They are always quick to help and very polite and have good knowledge on the menu.
Great ambience and they also let you use the laptop when you need to work. Really appreciate that since more cafes/restos limit the usage of laptop. This is a calm and comfortable place.

Great food
I ate here almost everyday for breakfast. Absolutely delightful dining experience! This restaurant exceeded all expectations with its exceptional service and exquisite cuisine. The highlight of our visit was definitely our waitress, Dina. Her warm and attentive service made us feel truly special.
She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and ensured that our evening went smoothly. The food was outstanding, and Dina’s personalized touch made the meal even more memorable.

Jewel Changi: Where Travel Meets Magic
#getgoing2025
Stepping into Jewel Changi was like entering a dream. The sight of the Rain Vortex, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, cascading through lush greenery, took my breath away. I wandered through the Forest Valley, a serene oasis amidst the bustling airport. From indulging in world-class dining to shopping for unique finds, every corner of Jewel Changi felt like a luxurious escape. It’s more than an airport—it’s an experience.
📍Rain Vortex, Jewel Changi, Singapore

lovely
The atmosphere here is warm and inviting. Each dish is done as per your preference and tastes amazing, many vegetarian options too. I asked for potato waffles but changed salmon with feta cheese.
The first thing that catches your eye is the beautiful interior, creating a cozy and pleasant atmosphere. But it's not just the ambiance that impresses—the presentation of the dishes is truly interesting and creative.

Temple Hopping in Chiang Mai
#getgoing2025
Temple hopping in Chiang Mai felt like a spiritual journey through time. Each temple, whether it was Wat Phra That Doi Suthep or Wat Chedi Luang, had its own unique energy. The golden statues, intricate carvings, and peaceful courtyards all seemed to hold centuries of stories. I sat in quiet reflection at the top of Doi Suthep, overlooking the city, feeling a deep connection to the place. The serenity and the beauty of these temples offered a sense of peace I hadn’t expected. It’s a must-do for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the spiritual heart of Chiang Mai.

cut cafe
A great place to enjoy a very good coffee or tea. The homemade pastries are exquisite. The atmosphere is very comfortable and calm even though it is on the edge of the main road. Not just a place for coffee. A very comfortable place to rest for a while and continue activities.
Mood booster and recharge your energy. And the staff are lovely.This place combines with a florist next door, so the atmosphere is different from other coffee shops. On each visit we have a very pleasant time.
#singaporetrip #thingstodo #afternoonteatime
cute space
This cafe has a very inviting environment and cute shop with the florist, delicious drinks, best coffee I’ve had in Singapore. The place is small but incredibly aesthetic, with every corner designed beautifully. I really like sitting by the window, I think this is my favorite spot because you can stare outside at the same time.
I will definitely come back and spend more time. The ambiance is perfect for a relaxing visit. Not to mention, they serve great coffee at very affordable prices. A must-visit for anyone in the area

Great space with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Good food and creative selection of drinks. Very western with the dishes. Lovely friendly staff. We love the games they have, makes the dining session more fun.
Food is good quality and tasty. Love their natural ice creams too. Air conditioned space is perfect for hot days. Would like to see few more veggie options in the menu. A great place to chill, meet with friends and even work.
