“Highest Ice Kachang” at Hotel Jen Orchardgateway Singapore
If you think there's no other way to beat the sweltering heat than to jump into a swimming pool then you may very well be wrong! To commemorate Singapore's Golden Jubilee (yes, SG50), Jen will be attempting to break the record for having Singapore's "Highest Ice Kachang" at Hotel Jen Orchardgateway Singapore!

Led by the hotel's chef de cuisine, Lee Hoong Wan, the team will be piling up large bags of ice shavings to form a gigantic ice kachang which is predicted to be 5 metres in height, weighing almost 4,000 kilograms!
Come on down to the Hotel Jen Orchardgateway on 05 August 2015 to watch the team attempt to break the standing record. While you are there, enjoy complimentary bowls of ice kachang and feel free to donate to CPAS (any amount you wish!) - 100% of the donations collected will be given to CPAS.

I visited Beijing in China for the first time last month where I flew down from SIN to PEK on Singapore Airlines in Business Class (check out my trip report on SQ802 HERE!). As one of the first passengers to disembark from the plane, I was able to clear immigration fairly quickly and got out of the airport in approximately 30 to 45 minutes. I then met with a representative from Hotel Jen Beijing (which has only quite recently opened) in the public area of the Beijing Capital International Airport before hopping onto a vehicle that took me directly to this newly-built property that is directly connected to the China World Complex.
