I’d just gotten off the plane and thrown my bags in my room at the Swissotel Stamford and decided to head out somewhere I’d not been before for a couple of beers and a bite to eat.
I headed to Seah Street just on the other side of Raffles Hotel and came across a small place called Bridge.
Bridge, Singapore
Another year, another trip to Singapore which means I need a place for beers in the hot and humid weather.
I’ve been to Brotzeit before and the service has, for the most part, been decent however this trip I must say I was underwhelmed on several occasions with the service.
Slow service and staff forgetting to place orders and bring bills when asked aren’t the hallmarks of a place I want to frequent.
But being Singapore there are hundreds of similar places fighting for your business so on to better places!
After Kyoto I returned to Tokyo and decided to stay at the other InterContinental property near Roppongi.
As soon as you walk into the lobby you know you’re in a classy place. Check-in was super efficient and I got a personal welcome from the manager due to my IHG Ambassador status.

After a short stay in Tokyo I took the Shinkansen bullet train to Kyoto to have a look around the former capital.
I decided to stay at the ANA Crowne Plaza in Kyoto which is about 15 minutes north of Kyoto station by the hotel mini-bus.
The hotel is just across the road from Nijo Castle and very close to Nijojomae subway station
