Cliff(y) Goes Dining

Trio of snacks to kickstart your appetite! Turkish Airlines TK800 operates from Bogota, Colombia, to Istanbul, Turkey with a brief stop at Tocumen International Airport in Panama City. In this first segment, let’s take a look at the light refreshment served during the short hop to Panama City, which lasted approximately an hour and 40 minutes.

Hearty pumpkin soup, but no Colombian food... My BFF and I'd be flying back to Singapore via Istanbul, Turkey with Turkish Airlines. As the first leg of our journey would be in Business Class, we enjoyed access to the flagship lounge of Avianca, the flag carrier of Colombia, at the principal international gateway of Bogota. Who could resist a glass of Baileys before a flight?

'Tie guan yin' and lychee are besties! Welcome to this year's edition of our Mid-Autumn mooncake post! With just a week to go until Mid-Autumn Festival 2024, let's take a look at some pretty duo-tone snowskin mooncakes offered by Luna, a proud local patisserie that made its debut at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020.

Colourful national dish of Colombia! The full-day tour to Lake Guatavita and Zipaquira that my BFF and I signed up for included a lunch stop at Brasas Del Llano, a well-known restaurant celebrated for its traditional cuisine with an emphasis on grilled meat. Situated in the heart of the town, the restaurant offers a lively atmosphere with live performance.

Something that reminded me of sea coconut~ On one of the days during our trip, my BFF and I booked a half-day tour to marvel at Tequendama Falls and visit a coffee farm outside of Bogota. It concluded with lunch at La Dora, a humble eatery in the city of Fusagasuga located southwest of the capital city, which offers a pleasant view of the countryside.

'Ajiaco', a popular soup dish in Bogota, is a must! Perched atop the sacred Monserrate, a mountain towering over 3,000-metre above the city centre of Bogota, Restaurante Casa Santa Clara is a charming restaurant that showcases traditional cuisine from across Colombia. Despite not making a reservation at this popular venue, my BFF and I were fortunate to secure a table after waiting for 20 minutes or so.
