Bino — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 14:20:26 +0000

With different ways credit cards in Singapore value their points, I thought it would be helpful to spell out the equivalent miles that each credit card reward point converts to (at least for the major banks) in one table for easy reference.

Sampling Southeast Asian Cuisine at Delicious

Bino — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:11:23 +0000

Tucked away in the relatively new and upscale Scotts Square, just off Orchard Road, is an exciting, recently-opened dining option called Delicious. It offers a smorgasbord of dishes, taking its customers away on a culinary exploration of mainly Southeast Asian inspired dishes. Recently, I was fortunate to be invited to sample their offerings. And it...

A Glimpse of the Subcontinent in Singapore’s Little India

Bino — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 13:54:02 +0000

Of the three major ethnic quarters of Singapore, it is perhaps Little India which is the most localized and authentic. Whereas other ethnic quarters have given way to chic boutiques and funky bars, Little India remains as a true enclave of the local Indian community. More recently it has also become the defacto hangout place...
