Eastern Euro Trip: Christmas at KaDeWe Berlin, Germany

When I went to Germany last november, the shopping centre there has decorated the stores with a lot of Christmas decorations. And since today is only the third day after Christmas, I feel like reminiscing my past trip there. #nostalgiamood

We are dropped here at KaDeWe even before the shopping mall opened for business. So we ended up looking at the items displayed on the shop's window.

After we went in, we immediately saw a beautiful Christmas tree. <3

I always wanted something like this in my house. Looks cozy.

Christmas cookies, anyone? =)

If you are interested to find out more about this huge department store, you can visit its website here.

If you are a fan of Longchamp, you can find the store inside KaDeWe. Indonesians seem pretty crazy about Longchamp I must say. Hahaha.

Singapore Eats: Christmas High Tea at Rose Verandah, Shangrila Hotel

Ho Ho Ho it's finally Christmas! Hope everyone having an awesome Christmas day. Well if you don't know what to do, you can probably book yourself a high-tea during these few days because having high-tea can be pretty festive too apparently. XD

My high-tea buddy and I decided to try out Rose Verandah to celebrate Christmas this year.

You can have one pot of tea per person so make your choice wisely. If you are overwhelmed with the choice, you can always try the house tea which I think called Shangrila-something and Happy Birthday tea. I like the Happy Birthday tea.

Now let's attack the food. One thing that I notice is that everybody was attacking laksa station as soon as they are seated (okay, some people started queuing even before they sat down). So the laksa must be so damn good right? The laksa station is DIY station. The prawns are big and fresh. Well, I guess the laksa is worth the queue. XD

High tea in my text book means cake. A lot of cakes. And since it's Christmas season, Rose Verandah serves log cake too.

Other than on dessert table, the cakes are displayed on the glass cabinet. And all looks so delightfully yummy. O_O.

Every hotel in Singapore seems to be in competition on Christmas decoration whenever it is Christmas season. Which we don't mind of course. Here's a Christmas tree displayed at Shangri-la Hotel.

The decorations displayed on the trees are for sales. And the proceeds from the sale will be donated to non-profit organisations. Nice way of giving. =)

If you want to make reservation for the high tea (which I highly encourage because it was full house on a weekday afternoon), you can go to this link.

Last but not least, I wanna wish you guys a Merry Christmas! Be Merry and Happy! =)

Christmas Magic on Orchard Road: ION Orchard, Singapore

Every December, walking along Orchard Road is a must. I started my walk partly due to guilt feeling that I had after having high tea with my friend at the nearby hotel. But it turns out to be an amazing walk under the lights. Let's start from ION Orchard! =)

ION's Christmas tree is simple yet pretty. They opt for white Christmas tree with red decorations this year.

Closer look at the decoration. Awww...

You can go inside the tree. And look up.

Just beside the trees, there are an area which has been transformed into some sort of candy-christmas-land. It's kinda like Candy Crush X Christmas. Hahaha.

Nice one this year, ION! =)

Spending whole of December in Singapore

It's suddenly the last month of the year again. Have you finished your to-do-list for 2014? I am not really taking a checklist of my own to-do-list but I suppose 2014 has been full of its own events. And I'm looking forward to finish the year on a high note. =)

This month, I will be in Singapore simply because I just came back home last month and it's basically very expensive (and cold too) to go travelling in December. Unless you are travelling to Australia. Where the currency alone is damn high.

Anyway, celebrating Christmas in Singapore can be fun too. Especially since the country is decked in Christmas decoration. For instance, Orchard Road is so prettily-lit now.

Marina Bay Link Mall on the other hand is decked in red. They are celebrating red Christmas apparently. It may not be easy to take picture together with the bear because it's surrounded with guard red rope.

If normal Christmas tree is boring for you, you can go to One Raffles Place to take picture with Doraemon Christmas Tree. Cuteness overload, isn't it? ^^

Ok, now let me take a pictures with some bears. These bears can be found in front of Centrepoint at Somerset.

Will post more Christmas-related posts if I bump into interesting Christmas decoration in town. Ho-Ho-Ho!
