Epicurean Market at Marina Bay Sands

Had a great time today at the Epicurean Market, an event taking place from 25 - 27 January at Marina Bay Sands

The Epicurean Market’s main attraction is the opportunity to sample food - tapas size and style - from many famous restaurants such as CUT, Pizzeria, Osteria Mozza, Waku Ghin and db Bistro Moderne. There are also appearances from celebrity chefs throughout the day. I saw Daniel Boulud and Justin Quek earlier today. 

A 1 day access pass with $30 event vouchers costs $59 and available from Sistic or at the ticket counter located at the entrance of the event.

Here are some photos from the event I took today. I had the beef sliders and Wagyu beef steak from CUT. The Artichoke and mushroom soup was from Guy Savoy. Thre are two main areas to sit - around the Celebrity Chef restaurants and at Marketplace on one end of the event hall. There’s lots of promoters walking around with free samples - the best I saw was brown rice and olive oil samples from Naturel

Digital detox hotels

It’s the start of 2013 and if you are already looking for a holiday that lets you disconnect, unplug and not stare at a screen, Tablet Magazine has created a list for you to think about. 

Jakarta Shangri-la’s “Rainy Day Blues” package

Ok, so Jakarta is facing more than just “rainy days” at the moment and I wish Jakarta-based residents safety and comfort in the days to come. 

The situation hasn’t stopped the Shangri-La from being somewhat creative with a “Rainy Day Blues” package that gives guests an excuse to stay in, and not venture too far away. 

The summary of the package can be found here. Some highlights include breakfast, 20% discounts on massage and spa treatments, 20% discounts on F&B and early or late check-in or check-out.

The package is available until 27 January only. 

Kapalua Resort in Maui

We have had a rain-y weekend in Singapore and thoughts of escaping to a resort with loads of sunshine isn’t far from my mind. 

Enter Men’s Journal and one of their articles using terms such as tropical, resort, Maui, adventure and hospitality. 

So I’m sharing the article with you, to inspire those of us that might want some inspiration on planning an upcoming holiday. 

Singapore Airlines Krisflyer Promotions for January

All-in two-to-go fares by Singapore Airlines for their January Krisflyer promotions can be found here

Some of the better deals (IMHO) are Bangkok, Jakarta (Wouldn’t suggest this due to flooding), Bali that are all going for about SGD $268/pax and LA and SF tickets that are being sold for SGD $1,688/pax. 

Krisflyer members can find more information here and log-on to their account to purchase.
