A table for two

  Gobble, Quack, Bo-kokkk! I’ve always wanted to roast a Turducken for Christmas, and this year I finally picked up the courage (or being talked into) and tackled the beast! It was a full on 3 days saga but the reward was oh so worth all the effort I put in. Let’s the crazy feasting [...]

The end of a new beginning. New year, new decade and new resolutions. This new year has already proven to be a busy one for me with a lot of things all happening at the same time. Due to unforeseen circumstances, sorry to say that I have decided to take a short break from food [...]

Day 4. We are heading up to the Highlands. After spending two days in Kuala Lumpur and a short day trip to Melaka, we finally packed up our bags and check out the hotel, it is time for our “real” road trip and heading north to the Cameron Highlands. It’s been a while since I [...]

This is my last video log of my food trail in South East Asia last year. It is only a very short video filmed in Laos, where I visited Vientiane and Luang Prabang. I didn’t stay long enough to have enough videos to make a proper log, not to mention it was also my last [...]

[donotprint]“How would someone who really knows you describe your WORST qualities?” That is one of the questions from the Masterchef season three online application form. There is a whole lot more questions in the application – 82 questions to be exact but this question is one of the toughest, after that silly “Where would you [...]

A holy place caught in time warp. Is it just me or do you think this year has gone by really really fast? It only struck me the other day that we already spent half the year of 2010, but I still feel like I hardly achieve anything this year! I swear my holiday in [...]

Malaysia, the country where I was born. Despite being an Australian for over 3 years now, Malaysia is still where my root is, Ipoh is still my home town, and my whole family still lives there. Sadly I don’t go back to visit my family as often as I should, but if I do ever [...]

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 [...]

This event took place over 5 months ago in August 2009, I will try to remember every single detail as possibly can. During my stay in Cambodia, apart from checking out all the ruins in Siem Reap, I also spent a day with the KILT and it is definitely one of the highlights of my [...]

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. Tweet

I’ve had my best bowl of pho in Ho Chi Minh city, to crazy deep fried and multi-coloured Che in Hue, and not to forget the 19 days old duck embroy egg that I devoured in Hoi An, sadly this post will be the last haul of my journey in Vietnam before moving forward to [...]

For some reason, I was really excited about my side trip to Hoi An since I arrived in Vietnam. From what other people have told me, and the images I’ve seen on internet, I am really looking forward to get lost in this beautiful little town and indulge myself with some delicious local delicacies. We [...]

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 [...]
