Nam Nam Noodle Bar, Raffles City, Singapore

I’m not one for paying the usurious dollars that hotels charge for breakfast so, on the very odd occasion I do have breakfast, I try to find a more reasonably priced option.

In the basement of Raffles City shopping centre in Singapore is a decent food court with many and varied eating options.

Bao Today, Marina Square, Singapore

Bao Today is a Dim Sum cafe with a superb menu at quite reasonable prices which you can see of their website.

I stumbled across this place back in May 2015 and ended up taking a colleague here later on in our trip. The one I’ve eaten at is at Marina Square.

Din Tai Fung, Raffles City, Singapore

It was my last day in Singapore, I’d packed my bags and checked out of the Swissotel Stamford but didn’t need to head to the airport for a couple of hours… where to go to kill some time?

In the basement of Raffles City, under the Swissotel Stamford, there is a food court with many different types of food. One restaurant I’d been past many times but never stopped at was Din Tai Fung.

Sampan Seafood Restaurant, Lamma Island, Hong Kong

For my first week day in Hong Kong I wanted to head out to one of the outlying islands, Lamma Island. It’s probably been 25 years since I’d gone on a day trip to Lamma Island with my parents while I was still in school.

Lamma Island is a short ferry ride from the Central Ferry Terminal and arrives at Yung Shue Wan pier on Lamma Island.

Once you’ve disembarked its a short walk along the waterfront to the township. Along this path are a number of restaurants with open air dining areas that overlook the bay – it’s a very scenic and tranquil place but I can imagine that the weekends would be absolutely hectic.
