The happy high life, by a happy high wife
A hotel-staying, fine-dining, and doing it at a discount-where-possible kind of blog. And I love bags, too.

THE BAG LIFE
A Bag for Travel: Mulberry Lily in Japan
Why I recommend the Mulberry Lily as a Bag for Travel: it’s simple, carries the basic essentials, is versatile, and functions as a sorta coat hanger (I’m serious! Haha). Check out mod shots here.
Mulberry Lily: Identical bag in two colours
Bag Review: When you love your bag so much that having one just isn’t enough. Presenting the Mulberry Lily, a simple yet versatile piece that’s great for running errands and transitions easily from day to night.
Chanel Deauville Tote @ Marina Bay Sands
Chanel Deauville Tote. This one is from the 2018 Métiers d’Art (pre-fall) collection. My favourite baby bag, and an awesome shopping companion.
LATEST STAYS / EATS
Tower Club Set Lunch at Atlantic: Christmas vibes. S$100 off with Amex Platinum Charge or Platinum Reserve card.
Tower Club’s decor sets the festive mood well this Christmas. I’ve always enjoyed the Set Lunch at Atlantic – 3, 4. or 5 course power lunches in an elegant setting. Amex Platinum Charge or Platinum Reserve card holders have an added incentive to dine-in: an annual S$100 voucher to offset spending at Tower Club.
Review of PAUL: French Patisserie, Western mains
PAUL is a Boulangerie Patisserie that carries awesome desserts. But this review focuses on the main dishes and the all-day breakfast menu. With the Entertainer App by HSBC, two adults can enjoy 1-for-1 meals.
Violet Oon: Peranakan / local food at Ion Orchard
This is my second review of Violet Oon Singapore. If you love Nyona / Peranakan / Local fare and want to have it in an ‘atas’ or more upscale place, Violet Oon is all of that and more. Loved their Kueh Pie Tee, Dry Laksa, Fish Curry, and Club Sandwich with super thick cut Fries.
