Hello everyone! So my pup, Snuffles, and I left Singapore on 15 June 2022 and we travelled around Europe and the UK for 13.5 months. We just flew home on Singapore Airlines on 2 August 2023 and I thought I would do up this post since I know how everyone wants to travel with their pups! Here’s everything you would potentially need to know, I think, and if you have any questions, you can DM me on Instagram @kimberleyyeo or drop me an email at kimberleyyeo@gmail.com

Dog-Friendly Northern Lights Tour in Tromso, Norway

northern light tour tromso with dog 

Snuffles and I went to Tromso with the sole aim of catching the elusive Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis. We were too early for other winter activities such as dog-sledding or whale watching which was quite sad, but I guess we just wanted to make sure that we caught the lights! We were there 1-4 October 2022. It took me awhile to find a dog-friendly company that will accept Snuffles on the almost 10-hour tour.

Best Mid-Range Sushi Omakase Restaurants in Tokyo

photo kyubey best sushi omakase tokyo ginza.jpg
As you probably already know, I've been to Tokyo numerous times, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE sushi. On my most recent visit, I made it a point to visit Tsukiji as much as I can to try out the sushi restaurants there. On top of multiple trips to the famous fish market, I also popped by a couple of mid-range sushi restaurants that are known for their affordable and absolutely delicious sushi omakase. I was spending 4,300yen to 5,000yen on sushi sets in Tsukiji and none of these supposedly top-rated restaurants even came close to the 3 restaurants featured in this article. If you're a sushi lover too, you can't miss these three restaurants. Your sushi cravings will definitely be satiated and you'll feel like every penny has been completely and utterly well spent.

Miyagi Zao Fox Village at Shiroishi - Happy Foxes, Happy Visitors

photo Miyagi Zao Fox Village 12.jpg
Ever since I saw pictures of the Fox Village back in 2014, visiting it has been on my bucket list. So when I booked my trip to Japan back in March, I knew that I had to make it here! Our original plan was to travel here from Tokyo but we made a last minute decision to go from Kyoto instead. We left Kyoto at 8am in the morning, arrived at Tokyo around noon to deposit our luggage in the lockers, and made our way to Shiroishi-Zao from there.

Maison Astor might just be the best dog-friendly hotel that I’ve stayed in on my entire 6 month holiday in Europe.

Housing rooms in 9 categories, and suites in 4, the opulent Maison Astor is located on a quiet and safe street in the heart of Paris(8th arrondissement) between the Opera and Champs-Elysees. The magnificent hotel is the perfect base to explore popular attractions and visit luxury shopping streets such as Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

Maltby Crumble Bar - Build Your Own Apple Crumble at Singapore's FIRST Crumble Bar!

IMG_8537

IMG_8406

Inspired by The Humble Crumble in London, Maltby Crumble Bar is my latest venture! It's essentially an extension of my ice cream and cookie brand, Twice Young. When I was living in London, I visited The Humble Crumble in Borough Market a few times. I loved the concept, and how you can dress up your crumble however you like — with custard, drizzles, and a variety of toppings. I starting working on this  concept when I returned from my 13.5 month vacation in Europe and the UK with my dog, Snuffles, and tested it at Baker X at Orchard Central in December 2023.

I decided to name the concept Maltby, because we were actually living near Maltby Street in London, and I loved the area! Also, my dog is a Maltese and one of our favourite countries on our trip was Malta! It just seemed very apt, and the name sounds cute too haha

I spent a few months perfecting the recipes for both the stewed apples, and French butter crumble. It's sad that we can't get Bramley apples here, so we are using Granny Smith apples. For now, we only have apple crumble, but we are thinking of creating a berry crumble and a banana one in the future. At Maltby Crumble Bar, you can jazz up your apple crumble with ice cream, custard, drizzles and a myriad of sprinkles such as chocolate crunchy pearls and wildflowers. 

Twice Young's signature ice cream flavours will be available on rotation, and our signature brown butter cookies, that we have sold tens of thousands of, will be available as well. 

Maltby Crumble Bar is currently taking residency at Pinhole Coffeebar at 27 Purvis Street, #01-02, until the end of March
