Singapore: tailor made clothes

While Singapore is probably not South-East Asia’s best known city for tailor made clothes (that would probably be Bangkok) there are still numerous shops in the shopping malls downtown that offer tailor made suits, shirts and much more. Prices are not that competitive and I’ve read mixed reviews. After some...

Football derby in Singapore

While Singapore has its own soccer league, the S.League, it also has a team that plays in the Malaysian Super League. The Singapore Lions XII are a relatively new team (founded in 2011) but has been fairly successful. They won the league in 2013. This past weekend they played against...

Kuala Lumpur: great, casual Indian food

Sunday morning we had a craving for Indian food. There is definitely no shortage of Indian food in KL, thanks to approx. 10% of the population being of Indian descent. We didn’t do any research, but instead just walked to Jalan Masjid India and tried to find a place there....

Quest: Finding the best Döner Kebab in Singapore

Getting Beerlao in Singapore

One of my favorite beers in South-East Asia is definitely Beerlao, produced by the Lao Brewery Company (by now a 50-50 joint-venture between the Lao government and Carlsberg).
