We had the great pleasure of playing host to a group of fabulous ladies over the weekend. They had enquired if we could organise a cocktail workshop as part of a bachelorette weekend for Alga and it was awesome!
Singaporeans love to travel, and everyone we know picks up their quota of cheap duty free spirits from our award winning Changi Airport! DFS spirits are a huge contributor to the increased consumption of alcohol in our little island, and that may be because our alcohol tax here in Singapore is an “affordable” 40%!!!!!!

After spending 3 nights in Tainan, we headed up north to Taipei for the remainder of our Taiwan trip. Lucky for both of us, we both dislike moving from place to place and prefer to stay at just one or two places for our trips.

Flying into Taipei in the morning allowed us to hit the ground running. Between getting off the plane at Taoyuan Airport, to checking in at our humble abode in Tainan, we already had a bowl of beef noodles, a large XXL chicken cutlet, a plate of (tempura), an egg roll, oyster meesua, chive pancake and a serving of flame grilled beef cubes. All that served to line our stomachs for a night of imbibing which we had carefully planned.
