You haven’t visitted Paris if you haven’t been to Montmartre. People call Paris the “City of Love” but to me, I felt the love vibe the most when I was in this small, charming area. Think about cobblestone streets, small cafes, fleurs, l’amour, “Moulin Rogue” and “Amelie”. I was very lucky to be able to see Montmartre with my own eyes. Initially, my tour operator didn’t include this optional trip. We were supposed to have a walking tour in the Latin Quarter but because it happened on the same day with Bastille Day (another luck for me), there were some changes to the itinerary. 🤩 Bastille Day parade > Latin…

Exploring Louvre & Angelina Paris on Bastille Day
I’ve been writing about my trip in Paris for the past weeks and it’s still continuing. I spent only two days in the City of Love but I have so much to share! This week, I will take you to Louvre and see the Bastille Day celebration nearby the museum. In addition, I will also take you to Angelina, a famous cafe in Paris where I had to queue for 30 minutes. Don’t worry, I also visited other parts of France, so you won’t see many posts about Paris 😉 I was lucky to have my second day in Paris on 14 July 2022, exactly on Bastille Day. It’s a…

Eiffel… I’m in Love
When I was in primary school, I wanted to go to Paris and became a fashion designer. But then I realised that I didn’t have the talent to be one. Nevertheless, Paris was always my dream destination until I realised the trip at 31 years old. Apparently, the childhood dream was never buried but postponed. Me and the tour group arrived in Paris on 13 July 2022 by train. After we dropped our luggages at the hotel, we went to a fancy restaurant for included lunch. I never thought that the budget tour operator, Expat Explore, would take us to such a nice place! Cafe Louise didn’t only have a…

3 Michelin Star Review: Epicure, Paris
Aloha, friends! It feels bittersweet returning from the summer holiday, but life goes on. This week, let me share my first 3 Michelin star dining experience at Epicure, Hotel Le Bristol, Paris 👌✨ For those who are wondering how I managed to get a spot at this upscale hotel restaurant and where the budget came from, you can read my previous blog post here. I’ve dined in some middle-high class restaurants before and recently had my team diner at Nobu, Kuala Lumpur. I feel the food and service at Nobu are great but compared to the 3 Michelin star standard like what I had at Epicure, Paris… It’s another level…

How to Get a Spot at 3 Michelin Star Restaurants
First of all, special thanks to Exness, the company I work at, for giving me the opportunity. Without the generous annual flight ticket/hotel allowance, I wouldn’t have an extra budget to eat at a 3 Michelin star restaurant. This weekend, I’ll be flying after two years of hiatus. 2022 Summer holiday feels special because I managed to get a spot at a 3 Michelin restaurant in Paris 🤩🤩🤩 Of course, the process was full of sweat and determination. You literally have to be kiasu, FOMO, adopt a ‘can-do’ attitude, persistent, pray every day, and have a little bit of luck. Or you can also get some tips from this blog…
