Why We Can’t Stop Recommending the Entertainer
“What is the Entertainer? We get a free clown?” True story. This conversation actually happened when I tried to offer a friend our Entertainer vouchers for his date. Unlike what its name might suggest, the Entertainer is not a one-stop service for clowns or magicians, although methinks it is pretty magical that one app can contain so much goodness. If you haven’t heard of the Entertainer yet, we regret to inform you that you’ve missed out on at least five years worth of good deals. We first found out about the Entertainer book at the Savour gourmet food festival in 2013, and were initially skeptical about paying $90 for a book of vouchers. The…

Chef Mudana’s Cooking Class in Sanur | Review
Warning: Chef Mudana’s cooking class will change Balinese food for you. Forever. Not in a bad way, of course. More of a I-can’t-believe-Balinese-food-can-taste-so-good-what-have-I-been-eating-all-this-time sorta way. On our previous trips to Bali, we’d eaten at restaurants that served excellent European and Australian fare, but attempts to search for authentic Balinese food always ended in disappointment. It then occurred to us that we could right this wrong by learning how to cook balinese food instead. Being typical Singaporeans, we were sold on Chef Mudana’s cooking class in Sanur once we saw the rave reviews on Tripadvisor in addition to his impressive experience as a chef in 5-star restaurants in Perth and Hokkaido. It also helped that he…

Discovering the Secrets of Balik Pulau with Matahari Cycle Tours
Balik Pulau has a secret. The Penangites might not want you to know this. And the truth is, few Malaysians probably do. Ask people where they can find Penang’s best Assam Laksa, and you will probably be directed to Air Itam, or Penang Road. But the best answer to this question lies in the town center of Balik Pulau. How did we stumble upon this secret? This story begins on one special Sunday morning when we dragged our butts out at the crack of dawn to go cycling with Matahari Cycle Tours. Cycling with Matahari Cycle Tours Our tour started out in a little carpark, where we were assigned bicycles that had been calibrated…

A Walking Tour Helped us Fall in Love with Old Havana | Review
Old Havana Walking Tour with Cuban Adventures I have a confession. Unlike most first-time visitors to Havana, I didn’t fall in love with this city. Far from it. Havana felt like a city stuck in its past, obsessed with its revolution. So when the hour hand struck twelve, and Yanet was nowhere to be found, I muttered “Cuban time” under my breath. I had to remind myself of the need to understand that punctuality is not a virtue that is keenly observed in this country. It happened a few days ago at Playa Giron, where we waited half an hour for our bus ride to the dive site, and just yesterday,…
