General Dubai Tips
🔰Respect Local Customs:
While Dubai is modern, it’s still essential to dress modestly in public areas and respect cultural norms.
🔰 Use Public Transport:
Dubai Metro is convenient for reaching popular tourist spots. Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Careem and Uber are also widely available.
🔰Stay Hydrated:
Dubai’s weather can be hot, especially during summer. Always carry water and wear sunscreen.
🔰 Plan for Weekends:
Weekends in Dubai are Friday and Saturday, so attractions might be busier. Consider visiting popular spots on weekdays for a quieter experience.
🔰 Carry Cash for Tipping:
While most places accept cards, small tips for service staff are appreciated and often paid in cash.

Discovering Nungwi: Zanzibar’s Coastal Charm
During my trip to Zanzibar, I had the pleasure of staying on the island’s stunning northwest coast, specifically in Nungwi. I stayed at the Riu Palace Zanzibar, a beautiful beachfront resort that exceeded all expectations with its amazing location and incredible facilities. If you are considering a trip to Zanzibar, I highly recommend this place for its serene atmosphere and luxury experience. #travel
🏨 We arrived in the afternoon and were warmly welcome with a delicious lunch at the hotel. The food was fantastic and the views from the restaurant were breathtaking, with the sparkling turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean just steps away. #hotelstay #holidayvacation
🏝️ After lunch, we decided to explore the surroundings. We took a relaxing walk along the beach, and as we strolled, we were captivated by the local charm. Our walk led us all the way to the village of Nungwi. The beach path was lined with friendly locals selling beautiful handcrafted souvenirs, including paintings and other crafts that are perfect as mementos from your trip. #explore #localguides
🛖 When we reached the village, it was a true delight. There are several shops selling unique souvenirs, as well as small restaurants offering traditional Zanzibar cuisine. The atmosphere was relaxed, and we spend hours just soaking in the sights, sounds, and colours of this vibrant little village!
🍽️ In the evening, we had the pleasure of dining at Z Zanzibar, a charming restaurant known for its delectable dishes and amazing ambiance. The dinner was truly a highlight. With a cozy rustic setting and incredible ocean views, it provided the perfect atmosphere for enjoying fresh seafood and traditional Zanzibar flavours. It was the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring. #foodie
Tips for travellers:
- If you are walking along the beach to reach Nungwi, wear comfortable shoes and bring some sunscreen, as it can get quite hot.
- Bargaining is part of the experience, so feel free to haggle a little if you are purchasing souvenirs.
Nungwi is a must-visit if you are in Zanzibar. The combination of stunning beaches, local culture and the warmth of the people made this experience unforgettable.

This is the second cafe operated by Tiffany & Co. in the world after New York in the U.S. and the first in Asia.
It is located in the Tiffany flagship store at 1 Peking Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. Everything, including chairs and tableware, is a beautiful Tiffany blue.🩵

Exploring Luodong|The Cake Rolls That Sell Out in Seconds
TaSweet Confectionery
- Thanks to everyone, we ordered a bunch of cake rolls, which are very healing
-
The cake rolls that are said to sell out in 3 hours, we arrived before 12 to wait for the first batch, and were lucky to capture an empty scene. The view with the slightly red bald cypress outside the window is really beautiful. As soon as we entered, the seats were immediately filled. When we came down, we heard that the wait time was until 5:00...
The crispy red tea roll is very special, the crispy crust goes well with the cream. The Mont Blanc roll is relatively sweeter and can be paired with their unsweetened red tea. The price in Yilan is relatively high but it's worth it.

Super high quality shabu-shabu restaurant🐖

Popular shabu-shabu restaurant in Naha.
I made a reservation a few days before my trip to Okinawa! As expected of a popular restaurant, it was a weekday night and only the counter was empty.
I ordered the pineapple pork shabu shabu shabu course for two with an additional order of Agu pork shabu shabu shabu.
I preferred the Agu pork because it was thinly sliced and tender! It was really delicious!😍
In addition to the shabu shabu, we also tasted mozuku seaweed, sea grapes, and other Okinawan delicacies.

Visited Tengoku, a popular coffee shop in Asakusa.
I wanted to order the pancakes with sausage, but they were sold out, so I ordered only pancakes.🥞
They were very cute with the logo on them! They were delicious, but quite small so not full.

GARB CLIFF TERRACE IZUMO
We were taken to this restaurant because it was recommended by a local. It was Sunday lunch time and the restaurant was quite crowded.
I went to the terrace with a great view. It has an open atmosphere as if we were in a foreign country.
I ordered fried shrimp and croquette lunch, dessert and Izumo tea.
The fried shrimp and croquette were thinly battered and fried crispy, which I liked very much! The cherry pie for dessert was a delicious combination of crispy dough and custard.
The service was friendly, courteous, and pleasant.

🇧🇪Lovely Christmas Market in Bruges🇧🇪🎄

We had an amazing time going around this lovely Christmas Market in Bruges. They had chalets selling so much food and drinks as well as other Christmas items and decors.
We had a delicious Belgian sausage in a bun and some mulled wine, which I really enjoyed!
The atmosphere is very festive and the people are cheery and friendly.
Beat of all is the colorful surrounding of the houses around, there are horse carriages, cafes and restaurants.
It is truly a wonderful place to spend a day, do make time to come here if you are in Belgium—worth a visit!

Le Jardin Cafe Singapore
#singaporetrip
It was xmas day of 2024 and we made our way down to this hard-to-reach eatery in the morning via a train ride to Fort Canning station. A short climb up fort canning hill led us to this beautiful cafe.
Maybe it was due to it being 10:30, it was quiet, comfortable and not crowded and the vibes was chill overall. Loved it.
The friendly staff greetings followed up with the menu and we eventually decided on a big breakfast for me, a bacon mushroom creamy pasta for her, a pineapple coffee for me and a la vie en rose mocktail for her.
The food was served promptly and reached our table even before we returned to our table from our photo taking around the cafe (it was so beautiful and refreshing with all the flowers and fauna).
My big breakfast was decent and hearty, but not something that you can't find elsewhere and the creamy pasta was pretty much the same (but don't get me wrong, they were definitely worth the try). My coffee however was rather disappointing but that might be because I'm not really a cold brew kinda guy but she loved her rose mocktail, both visually and taste-wise.

Butter TGT Singapore
#singaporetrip
Coming here at 9.30am in the morning is such a nice way to start the day. Cozy and quiet environment, sitting by the window allowed my partner and I to have such a nice relaxing time together enjoying each other’s company. The sourdough was fluffy and retained a nice crunch with the perfectly toasted crust. The kombu butter is definitely one of my favourite pairings out there, such umami together with the sourdough. The grilled cheese sourdough was really delicious as well, paired with the dijon mustard, though a tad bit heavy to have for breakfast. I absolutely love the ambience and the food here

Amazing experience at Simple Cafe! The food was absolutely delicious – I highly recommend the Simple Breakfast and the crepe with prawn paste, both were full of flavor and perfectly cooked. For a sweet treat, you definitely have to choose their tiramisu! Took the last piece and could definitely see why!
The ambiance was peaceful and quiet, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed brunch or afternoon tea. The staff was friendly and attentive as well. Definitely a hidden gem – I’ll be back soon!

The almond cream part was thick and the tart was firm and crispy, right in the middle of my favorite! The grapes were juicy and too delicious😍😍
The shortcake was so photogenic that I had to take a picture of my friend.

We ended up also visiting a cathedral in Bruges is a breathtaking experience.
As I approached the majestic Gothic façade, I was captivated by its intricate stone carvings and soaring spires reaching toward the sky. Inside, the cathedral’s beauty unfolds with stunning stained glass windows that cast colorful light across the nave, illuminating the exquisite altar and detailed woodwork.
The peaceful atmosphere invites quiet reflection, allowing visitors to appreciate the craftsmanship that has withstood centuries. Each chapel tells a story, adorned with religious art that highlights the rich cultural heritage of Bruges.
The cathedral’s towering columns and vaulted ceilings create a sense of grandeur, making it a perfect blend of architectural brilliance and spiritual serenity.
