Yotel Singapore: A Hi-Tech Hotel In The Heart of Orchard

My search of a hotel around Orchard Road led me to this purple hotel called Yotel Singapore. Mr.Husband was the one who introduced me to this hotel, and when I saw how purple this hotel is, I proceed with the booking.

We alight at Orchard MRT station, and walked through ION's underground to Wheelock Place, then continued taking the underground to Shaw Towers. Yotel Singapore is located at the back of Shaw Towers. The underground might be very confusing, pay attention closely to the sign heading to Shaw Towers.

Weekend Akhir Tahun di Singapura: Itinerary 3D2N Menikmati Suasana Natal dan Tahun Baru

Ada banyak alasan mengunjungi Singapura, dari mulai shopping, bermain di Universal Studio dan Sentosa Island, hingga menonton konser musik terutama yang artisnya tidak datang ke Indonesia. Dari semua event yang diadakan di Singapura, menurut saya yang paling special adalah saat liburan akhir tahun, karena nuansa festive season sangat terasa.

Singapura merayakan natal dan tahun baru secara besar-besaran setiap tahunnya. Orchard Road dipenuhi lampu dan hiasan natal, begitu juga semua shopping mall berhias diri dengan ornamen natal. Bahkan, rumah kaca raksasa Flower Dome dan Cloud Forest di Gardens By The Bay juga di setting dengan tema natal. 

Selain itu, Gardens By The Bay juga menjadi tempat berlangsungnya event Christmas Wonderland. Sejak melihat video di YouTube turunnya salju buatan di Christmas Wonderland, event ini masuk ke dalam bucketlist saya!

Walaupun hanya bisa menikmati suasana natal dan tahun baru di Singapura over the weekend, namun tetap sangat menyenangkan. Untuk teman-teman yang berencana liburan akhir tahun di Singapura, kami akan share apa saja yang tidak boleh dilewatkan:

Merchants Lane KL: Instagrammable Restaurant To Find Halal Food In Kuala Lumpur

I have been eying this cute restaurant in Petaling Street area for a while, and when I got a chance to go to Kuala Lumpur, this place was my number one on my itinerary.

Located inside an old building, Merchants Lane was hard to find. On the first attempt we were directed by a staff of neighbouring restaurant to the green door of Merchants Lane. 

But the effort was well worth it. This place has a beautiful interior, great ambience and yummy food. Just like the sign at the bar: "THIS MUST BE THE PLACE" 

Yes, this must be the place!

Unforgettable Experience in Cappadocia: Organic Breakfast From Kelebek Cave Hotel

Cappadocia is not only about the balloons hunting or the balloons ride. This place is special for us also because of the experience staying at Kelebek Cave Hotel. I haven't written my review about the hotel yet, but as I am trying to have a healthy lifestyle at the moment, I would like to share with you about our Organic Breakfast which was provided by the hotel.

When I sent email to the hotel before booking our rooms, I asked the hotel regarding the Organic Breakfast. The hotel staff replied my email and said that the breakfast is free for the guests staying at Kelebek Cave Hotel. What lovely!

On our third morning at Cappadocia, we were transferred by a tractor from the hotel to one farm located down the hill. And when we got there, the fresh and organic vegetables welcome us. For sure, it was an unforgettable experience that we had in Cappadocia.

Look at those yummy food!

Sapporo With Kids: Visiting Moerenuma Park

After our breakfast at Nijo Fish Market and the chairlift at Okurayama Ski Jump, we continued our journey to one huge park in Sapporo which is called Moerenuma Park. Having seen all the pictures on its website, we put this park on our must visit place in Sapporo.

Moerenuma Park was built by sculptor Isamu Noguchi. It was designed based on the concept "the whole being a single sculptor". So that the fountain and the hills inside the park form many geometric shapes in the expansive ground.
