I found this memoire really refreshing. As far as autobiographies go, Uneducated by Tara Westover is a brilliant read. It’s thoughtful, charming and just fascinating to know that the author didn’t go to school until she was 17 and till then only read two books: the Bible and the Book of Mormons. The narrative is […]
I am a creature of habit and one of those people eating the same favourite dish at restaurants that I frequent regularly, and usually in the same seat. Venturing out of my comfort zone takes a fair bit of effort and this January, one of my best friends planned her birthday trip to hit several […]
Still working through photos from last year’s France trip. We’ve done a day trip to Monaco previously but it was my first time spending the night – we were there for a football match and had reservations to go to Louis XV by Alain Ducasse (it’s a 5 minutes walk away from the hotel), and […]

I was so sad to read that Faviken is closing at the end of the year and so grateful I got to dine there this January. It’s been one of my favourite experiences so far and I was so looking forward to go back with the husband next year. It made January’s dinner all the […]
I stayed at Morpheus on a press trip late last year shortly after the hotel had opened. It’s an architetural marvel and one of Dame Zaha Hadid’s last project. I was living in Macao then when I went for the press conference where she unveiled the design – the world’s first freeform exo–skeletal high-rise building […]
