Drinking a Singapore Sling in Singapore
A visit to Singapore really isn’t complete without ticking this item off your bucket list. The quintessential Singaporean experience is drinking a Singapore Sling in Singapore. Now you can’t just have a Singapore sling at any establishment, you need to go to the place that invented it – Raffles Hotel. Tourists come in droves to the magnificent Raffles Hotel to sample this delightful beverage and I too was no exception.

Breakfast in Singapore
Venture beyond the CBD and you will find some real gems for breakfast in Singapore. I found two such places located on the outer edge of the Arab district. The first being Tolido’s Espresso Nook and the second simply called Artistry. What brought me to these cafes, was the fact that my hotel’s breakfast was less than impressive – actually it was downright woeful! So I was looking for the exceptional, a place where I could relax with a good coffee, awaiting a freshly cooked breakfast that would have my tastebuds rejoicing. Tolido’s Espresso Nook This relaxed cafe has a lovely ambience, with it’s slightly eclectic decor, it beckons you to…
