A quick guide to our favourite destinations in our Southeast Asia Travel Blog (we will update as we go along). This list follows our own interests and highlights our own style in travel.

A deliciously diverse mixing pot of Chinese, Indian and Malay food cultures plus a whole lot more. Thriving on perfection every Singaporean is a critic. They …
Due to unnecessary VISA complications, I found myself on an impromptu Singapore weekend with less than 18 hours to prepare. Now, twenty-two hours after arriving, I find myself penniless, perched at a Geylang food hawker stall with a bowl of duck noodles, a large bottle of Carlsberg and a shirt stained with mutton Biryani.
