Part of the reason we started Hand Luggage Only was to connect with more people who share our passion for travel so I am always delighted when we find out more about anything food or travel related. I still get excited when someone tells me about a restaurant/bar/new attraction that I haven’t been to in … Continue Reading
We’ve all been there, whether it’s for the kids, for uni friends or for a haunted-house party – finding the right Halloween food ideas and dishes can be scary! 👻 Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year. Yaya and I (and our friends) always make a big deal of it. Usually, the … Continue Reading

One of the biggest sights I’d wanted to see in Bergen was the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bryggen. I’d spoken about it on the blog before and so when we finally booked our flights to Bergen, this was something I’d put at a high priority on my itinerary!

We arrived in the evening and made a beeline straight for our abode for the night – the Cornarro Hotel. The location of this hotel, by the way, is perfect for a trip to Split as it’s a short walk from the major sights in the city! We were welcomed with sweet and a bottle … Continue Reading
My first meal in (albeit on my second trip to) Amsterdam was a KFC meal. I felt so guilty afterwards but, I thought to myself, “I’ve been to Amsterdam before and the KFC branch is just right there… and I’m really starving”. Needless to say, I rationalised it to myself and 30 minutes later, carb-ed up and … Continue Reading
I’m in true love/lust/infatuation with this burger! It’s so strange as it’s so unexpected. Okay, so living in Singapore – it seems a big disingenuous to be eating a burger when there’s so much delicious local cuisine to try but in all fairness, I’ve actually done quite a bit of that since I’ve been here … Continue Reading
