Restaurant review: Open Door Policy, Singapore – November 2012


What’s the curbappeal?
- Pared-back interior:  think stripped wooden floorboards combined with old refectory tables and chairs and colourful cushions
- Cool hipster vibe
- Located in the up-and-coming art deco district

We only stopped-by for coffee but the food looked (and smelled) mouth-watering

Travel inspiration: Our Favourite Architecture in Singapore

What’s the curbappeal?
- The contrasts – 19th century vs. 21st century architecture
- The art deco district: an area not yet widely known about. Full of cute local cafes and restaurants. Feels like you’ve stepped back in time. Contact us for the location.

Airport lounge review – Thai Airways first and business class lounge, Bangkok airport, Thailand – 18 November 2012

What’s the curbappeal?
- Beautiful modern architecture – sit at bar stools by the window and gaze at this beautiful building!
- Contemporary interior design – think cubist brown leather sofas and glossy black marble counter tops…
