Club Med Bali – I did the flying trapeze!
It’s my 3rd day at the Body and Soul: Four Colors in Four Days Program and I’m having a blast! 🙂
People’s Square, Madame Tussauds and Huangpu River Cruise in Shanghai
After the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and lunch we headed over to Shanghai People’s Square which is located at the very center of Shanghai and was the demarcation point of East Nanjing Road and West Nanjing Road. The key phrase here is “Nanjing Road”; as this area is very popular for shopping!
But more on that later while I bore you with some essential facts about People’s Square. 🙂
** Facts taken from the WWW – This area was once the racecourse regarded as the ‘No.1 racecourse Far East’ but was destroyed later.
In 1949, the People’s Avenue was built across the center of the area with the People’s Park built on the north side and the People’s Square on the south part. By the end of 1993, through a comprehensive reconstruction, it covered an area about 140,000 square meters and has become the largest public square of the city.
Fish Market visit with Chef Paul Lewis of Le Meridien Bali Jimbaran
I try to visit the local market in every state or country that I go to. Many people may not understand it, but I think wet markets and grocery stores/supermarkets are a fabulous way to experience the culture as well as to acquire better understanding of the locals’ way of life, plus not to mention the dietary habits of a state/country.
Besides, I have a fascinating obsession with fresh produce. 😀
This is the popular Mahi-Mahi fish by the way, that has a mild sweet flesh that can be eaten raw (sashimi style) or grilled, baked or pan-fried.
YourSingapore.com/LIVE – all you need to know on what’s hot and happening in Singapore!
Are you like me; a person who enjoys traveling to Singapore for food, attractions, shopping and performing arts? I have traveled to Singapore for burgers, Jaan, L’ Atelier de Joel Robuchon, World Gourmet Summit 2012, Gardens by the Bay and also for the tour of the Marina Bay Sands Celebrity Chefs restaurants. I have been to Universal Studios twice and I love it.
Each time I come back from Singapore, I’ll lug Gardenia loaves (the only Gardenia bread that I’ll eat is from Sg), pastries and breads from Tiong Bahru Bakery and even Maison Kayser. Yes, there are some things that’s just better in Singapore, and for me that’s in the gourmet food department. No doubt shopping is good as well, though I hardly blog about my shopping spree. Perhaps I would be doing that more often this year. 🙂
So if you are as fond of Singapore as I am, then www.YourSingapore.com/LIVE should be bookmarked on your browser right now!

Sheraton Bali Kuta Resort – Room video!
Hi guys!
As you may know, I have just landed in Bali (yes, Shanghai, Malaysia Social Media Week 2013 and now Bali all within a week!) today and I’m recovering from my flu splendidly with the comfort and rest in my Deluxe Ocean View room.
Shanghai Day 1: A muslim friendly restaurant in Shanghai town – Yakexi Restaurant for Xinjiang fare
It is difficult to get out of bed if not for the temptation of breakfast 🙂
We landed at 12.30am on 20th February and only left the airport at about 1:15am after waiting for everyone to clear immigration. We finally arrived at Courtyard by Marriot, Puxi after another 1 hour on the road. Sleep was well after 3am!
