Food you can buy in 711 Singapore

FOOD YOU CAN BUY IN
711 SINGAPORE 

When you're in Singapore, checkout out the 711 stores. They have very interesting foodstuff in small and individual packs that's great for tasting. If you simply want to taste them, it's better to go to the 711 store rather than the bigger stores because food can be bought in individual packs. For example, the Magnum osmanthus oolong is sold at CS fresh in packs of 4, while it's sold individually at 711.

The photo below was taken at 711 UE Square.

How much money should I budget for meals during trips abroad?

September 13, 2024

HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD I BUDGET FOR MEALS DURING TRIPS ABROAD? 

Budget for meals are usually the question being asked in travel groups. When computing how much money to alot for meals for family trips abroad, I use www.numbeo.com as reference. If you want detailed information, they provide accurate information of current rates of meals and drinks in several cities and countries in their list. This is shown below in my recent trip to Hong Kong. Their information is fairly accurate compared to the actual receipt I got.






But a quick way for me to do it if I don't have time to go through the details, is to find out how much a McDonald's big mac meal cost in that country and multiply it by the number of meals per day, then the number of days of the trip, to get to the per person cost of meals during the trip. Having enough money to cover the cost of a Big Mac meal is a safe bet you won't go hungry in your vacation destination.

Cafe de Coral, Hong Kong Must try signature dishes with prices

August 10, 2024


CAFE DE CORAL, 
HONG KONG: 
MUST TRY SIGNATURE DISHES 
WITH PRICES 

Cafe de Coral is Hong Kong comfort food for us. We've been regularly visiting Hong Kong the past 20 years and we never miss dining at Cafe de Coral. The first time our kids went to Hong Kong with us in 2006, the first summer after Hong Kong Disneyland opened, we introduced them to our favorite meals at Cafe de Coral. Ever since then, Cafe de Coral has been filled with memories for our family.

Sharing with you the favorite meals we order. I'm so happy to note it's still as good as ever even after the pandemic.

These meals are available only from lunch till dinner so make sure to visit 1130am onwards and not earlier, if you want to order these meals. They usually run out fast. If you come in the morning, they serve the breakfast menu and our favorite meals are not available.

Our favorite meals are:
Bbq Pork with rice and bokchoy: 52 HKD
Roast duck leg with rice and bokchoy: 60 HKD
Baked pork chop rice: 62 HKD

The photos below were taken at Cafe de Coral Causeway Bay July 2024.







These used to be budget meals in Hong Kong but prices have gone up. 10 years ago, the bbq pork with rice was only 37 HKD, and the baked porkchop rice was only 41 HKD.

Additional Security Screening before vhecking In

July 22, 2024

ADDITIONAL SECURITY SCREENING BEFORE CHECKING-IN FOR AUSTRALIA FLIGHTS.

This is what happens at Cebu Pacific Air check-in counter:

If you're taking the Manila to Australia flights , make sure to alot additional time for the additional security screening before check-in. You line up twice at check-in: first, for the swab testing of the INSIDE of your check-in luggage for chemical residue, and second, for the checking in of luggage and issuance of boarding pass. YOU CANNOT CHECK-IN YOUR LUGGAGE WITHOUT YOUR LUGGAGE BEING SWABBED FIRST AND CLEARED OF CHEMICAL RESIDUE. 












MY TIPS:

1. Arrive at the check-in counter 4 hours before departure. 

Checking in at the Cebu Pacific counter, from lining up, swabbing and issuance of boarding pass took 1.5 hours.

Good thing the flight is at 1 pm. The immigration line is usually short during late mornings for early afternoon flights.

2. Pack your things in a suitcase rather than a sealed box

It will be difficult to put everything back and seal it once they open it to swab the inside of your box. Pack your things in an orderly fashion so nothing gets misplaced once they open the luggage.

3. Make sure that a blue sticker has been placed on your luggage to indicate that your luggage has been inspected and swabbed. 

Sometimes the handlers fail to put a sticker. It happened to us. So we reminded them. So I don't know exactly what will happen to the luggage if it was checked in without the sticker.

Regarding the carry on luggage, they don't inspect it at check-in. But they thoroughly check the contents of the carry-on at the boarding gate, before boarding the plane.

BANGKOK: Hotel Breakfast at Asai Bangkok Chinatown

July 18, 2024

BANGKOK: HOTEL BREAKFAST AT ASAI BANGKOK CHINATOWN 

It's a wonderful morning for some Thai breakfast at ASAI Bangkok Chinatown! You know you're in Thailand when everything is served with chili on the side. The Thai gravy noodles with chicken (their version of lugaw which is usually present in hotel buffet breakfast in the Philippines) is served with chili. The omelette station also has chili instead of red and green bell pepper. Make sure to order it from the guy in the photo who makes moist and fluffy omelette the way I like it. 

So far loving this hotel with their simple but nice rooms, simple but delicious buffet breakfast and their great location.

Below are more photos of the buffet spread at Asai Bangkok Chinatown

JAM JAM EATERY AND BAR @Asai Bangkok Chinatown: My Review and What to Order

April 12, 2024


JAM JAM EATERY AND BAR @Asai Bangkok Chinatown: Review and What to Order

If you happen to be in Chinatown, check out Jam Jam Eatery and Bar at the  ASAI Bangkok Chinatown. They serve excellent and very delicious Thai food at reasonable prices. Everything we ordered was fresh, well-prepared, and with just the right amount of spice. We decided to try it out because it's a highly rated restaurant with very good reviews. But we can personally attest to how delicious it is since we ate there several times during our stay. 

If you're staying at Asai Bangkok Chinatown, there's no need to go out of the hotel to sample very delicious and authentic Thai food. This is very convenient especially when you're hungry and the temperature outside is too hot to walk around searching for Thai food.

Here is what we ordered:














Aside from the food, the ambience is very cozy, conducive to good conversation.
