When in Ipoh, eat, eat, eat! I have lived by that motto for nineteen years, and I still do whenever I go back to Ipoh, that’s my hometown where I was born and grew up in Malaysia. Ipoh (ee-poh) is approximately 200km north of Kuala Lumpur, not much of a tourist destination I must [...]

I have had a rather quiet but productive weekend simply because the internet was down since last Friday. I am still amazed how much stuff I’ve done around the house without the distractions from internet. A quick recap – I’ve done my taxes for the business (hate doing it!); I’ve steamed a medium size snapper [...]

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. TweetTweet

“A table for one,” I said. (You heard me right) The day that A Table For Two dine alone is finally happening sooner than I anticipated. Disaster! However, the opportunity of getting hold of a table at Ichi-ban Boshi makes eating by myself perhaps is not such a bad thing after all. This ramen noodle [...]

It is TGIF PLF – I called it the Pub Lunch Friday! The battered food, the amber liquid, and the extra hour long lunch relaxing in the beer courtyard soaking up the sun, what not to love about PLF?! Not to mention, the local hotel is only few paces down the hill from our place, [...]

Pssst… just in case you haven’t noticed, I am totally in the Chinese New Year vibe right now. I made cookies, and more cookies, ready for the new year this weekend. Coincidentally, Chinese New Year this year also falls on the same day as Australia Day! Hence, for the double celebrations, a group of friends [...]
