Postcard from Cambodia – Tonle Sap (Part 3)

February 21, 2010 Cambodia

My travel bug is on strike again, suddenly unmotivated off late. All I want to do is going through my holiday snapshots from the South East Asia trip last year and feeling sorry for myself stuck at home with no where to go. Then it reminds me that I actually still need to catch up [...]

A weekend at Canberra

February 17, 2010 Canberra

He’s been everywhere, Man.

Dr Jurd’s Jungle Juice at The Wollombi Tavern – Wollombi, Hunter Valley, NSW

January 8, 2010 Australian

Once upon a time in a not so far away land…
I feel like I have fallen into a rabbit hole, and found myself drinking a mysterious potion called the Dr Jurd’s Jungle Juice at this cosy tavern in Wollombi. Will this Jungle Juice make me grow bigger or smaller, I wonder? And who is Dr [...]

Postcard from Vietnam Video

November 5, 2009 Food Travel

As promised, here is a video showing glimpses of Vietnam. Hard to fit 8 days in Vietnam into a 4 minutes video, and I also keep forgetting to take movies during the vacation, so this is the best I can do. Hope you enjoy it.

Postcard from Vietnam – Hoi An (part 3)

We had [...]

Postcard from Vietnam – Hue (part 2)

October 3, 2009 Food Travel

After a two-day whirlwind tour of sightseeing and eating in the hustle and bustle Ho Chi Minh city, we’ve decided to slow the pace down and venture up north to center Vietnam. Hoi An is a must visit in my itinerary (blame Bourdain), and to get there, either you are prepared for a long haul [...]

I find it difficult to write about my holiday. Looking at all the holiday photos and trying to recall every single details through the journey again just makes me miss travelling even more. After writing the post about finding the best bowl of Pho Bo in Vietnam, I thought perhaps it is the right way [...]

In search of the best Pho Bo in Vietnam

September 18, 2009 Food Travel

Question: Are you a backpacker, or a flashpacker?
I have to say I will be the latter one. I am definitely not in the “young” age group anymore. (“Shut up, Yas!”) Just the thought of communal shower room terrifies me. Having said that, I absolutely enjoyed the communal hot spa at the capsule hotel in Japan [...]

Pasta Zanmai – 1 Utama, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia

September 1, 2009 Food Travel

Why would I want to eat spaghetti when I can have all the yummy local Malaysian delicacies? And I am always over sensitive and cautious about eating raw sashimi in a hot tropical country like Malaysia, Salmonella is not what I am looking for on the menu that’s for sure. But when they mix it [...]
