Cliff(y) Goes Dining

Medium-rare filet mignon done right! There's always a quiet sense of anticipation when it comes to Business Class meals, isn't it? For the 8-hour journey with Philippine Airlines PR211 from the capital city to Sydney, Australia, two meals are served: supper and breakfast. It was my first long-haul flight with flag carrier of the Pearl of the Orient Seas. 

More than 20 different cocktails on offer! Stepping into the flagship lounge of Philippine Airlines at Terminal 1 of Ninoy Aquino International Airport was a pleasant surprise. More than just a comfortable place to wait for my next flight, it offers a wide range of cocktails. The thought of having arroz caldo (Filipino chicken porridge) had me looking forward to a good time ahead.

Where the dried mango slices took the crown~ Happy New Year 2026! May this year bring good health, renewed joy and many blessings to all of us. To kick off the year, let's start with an airline meal feature on Philippine Airlines. I had the chance to fly from Singapore to Manila, which was the first leg of a journey that would eventually take me to Down Under.

Hi, everyone! I hope all of you're safe and sound wherever you're. Pikachu and Melon are going to travel again soon, so they'll be taking a break from blogging for the time being. They're so excited! Do look forward to more entries in the near future!

Affordable crab meat curry that pleased the taste buds! Here's the last post for 2025 as the year gently draws to a close, hopefully filled with moments of peace and comfort for all of us. Formerly known as Patara Fine Thai Cuisine, which had been a stalwart at Tanglin Mall since its opening in 1995, Sarai Fine Thai emerged in 2019 after a thoughtful renovation and rebranding.

Homemade citrusy iced tea: a perfect thirst quencher! I chanced upon Refuel Café while looking for an air-conditioned lunch spot after walking around Bedok Reservoir to escape from the afternoon heat. Established in 2014, Refuel Café serves all-day brunch menu among others. What began as a humble neighbourhood spot has since grown with additional outlets at Bukit Merah and Yishun.
