Jemin Travels

It's Waiching's birthday and I decided to help her celebrate with a high tea session at Pollen in Gardens By The Bay. As the restaurant is located in the Flower Dome, we get a complimentary buggy service from the arrival hall right to the doorstep.  The restaurant spans over two floors and we had our afternoon tea experience on the terrace floor. A different ambience from our usual hotel or restaurant setting. We got to dine amidst the blooming florals with the majestic Marina Bay Sands as the backdrop. Even though the sky is overcast, the falling rain drops against the glass panels is certainly a sight to behold. Browsing through the selection of teas Happy Jane Would you like some tea? Red roses tea for me as I enjoy floral teas since its lighter on the palate. This tea makes me glee So good, let me have another sip And our high tea set arrived! Also a break from the usual tiered stands, Pollen's high tea is sep...

Finally its recess break! Time to take a much needed breather before all the work comes in when school starts! Made a last minute decision for a 2D1N staycation at Village Hotel Katong with pigg, because why not right? We both need a break from our hectic schedules.  It was truly a getaway from the busy city, located in the hoods of Katong, Village Hotel Katong is the flagship hotel of all Village Hotels. We are able to immerse ourselves with the Peranakan culture and heritage of Joo Chiat.  Perks of staying in the club rooms is that we got to check in early at 12pm! Guests can also do self-check in easily at the self-check in kiosk. Modern hotel lobby with Peranakan touches The check-in process at Village Hotel Katong is fast compared to our previous staycation.  Soon enough, we were on our way up to level 5 where all the Peranakan Club rooms are.  Loving the blue and white hues of our room! The room is exactly how it looks like online...
