Alohaaa, friends! This week, let me take you on a Malaysia day trip to Pulau Ketam (Crab Island)🦀😊 Last week, my auntie and uncle visited me. It wasn’t their first time in Malaysia, they’d seen the city and some places. So, we decided to visit Pulau Ketam for a change of scenery. In the previous blog post, I shared with you my favourite seafood restaurants. Pulau Ketam was also famous for its fresh and affordable seafood, especially crabs! To reach this island, first, you have to go to Pelabuhan Klang (Port Klang), then buy return tickets to board a small ship to the island. Return tickets cost you RM20, while…

Best Seafood in Malaysia: Restoran Makanan Laut Jeti & Veg Fish Farm Thai
Hi, everyone! This week, let me take you to the two best seafood restaurants in Malaysia: Restoran Makanan Laut Jeti and Veg Fish Farm Thai. The content in this blog post is my own opinion and it’s not a paid post 😉 Actually, this blog post is inspired by my colleagues. On certain occasions, some colleagues from the Cyprus office will come to Malaysia and they are mostly white. One day, during a company event, I saw a colleague happily filled up his plate with crispy butter prawns. He said that he never had it before, especially the butter crisps. Him: “It’s very nice!! We don’t have this in Cyprus.”…

Hanoi Trip: Bánh Mì, Café Dinh Egg Coffee, Train Street, Sen Tây Hồ Buffet
This week, let me take you on a food tour in Hanoi! We’ll be sampling the famous bánh mì (Vietnamese-style baguette), Café Dinh’s egg coffee, and visitting the train street + a popular buffet restaurant, Sen Tây Hồ 😋 I had one last good brunch on Era Cruises before the tour group departed for Hanoi. It was good weather for a Hanoi trip, not too sunny or cloudy. There was a small boat that transferred us back to the cruise port. From Halong Bay, we took the express highway and reached Hanoi in just two hours. Else, it would take four hours! On the way to Hanoi, we stopped in a…

Marchfelderhof — A Magical, Must-Visit Restaurant in Austria
I may have had only 1 short day to explore Vienna, Austria back in 2015. But what makes the town memorable is the unique dinner experience at Marchfelderhof. I’m not exaggerating the blog’s title when I said this restaurant is “magical” and a “must-visit”, soon you’ll know why. Located in the romantic countryside, the warm and cozy Marchfelderhof has opened its doors since the Napoleon I era and was is a locals’ culinary tip that attracts big names, from kings, celebrities, and politicians, to nobility from all over the world. We’re talking about really, really BIG shots here such as King Constantine of Greece, King Faruk of Egypt and Liz…

Now We Can Dine-in, What to Eat in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor?
Now that Kuala Lumpur and Selangor are in Phase 2 of MCO (Movement Control Order), the Malaysian government announced that inter-district travel and dine-in are allowed. As a foodie, that means I can cross districts to eat my favourite foods ?? Before this, I always (and still) used a food delivery app to order my lunch and dinner – which is one of my company’s amazing benefits. It’s very convenient, but sadly the riders can’t deliver food from other districts. So you can imagine how happy I was when the restrictions were lifted! I no longer have to depend on the delivery riders, but can personally go to my favourite…

Cuti-cuti Malaysia: Kuala Selangor and Sekinchan
Last weekend, I went for a day trip to Kuala Selangor and Sekinchan. That was my second visit but I never get bored with cuti-cuti Malaysia visiting those destinations! If you haven’t heard or been there, Kuala Selangor and Sekinchan are small towns on the west coast of Malaysia. They’re famous for fresh seafood, lush scenery, paddy field, mirror lake and fireflies boat rides. From KL to Kuala Selangor it takes around 1.5 hours by car, and from Kuala Selangor to Sekinchan is just around 30 minutes. They are far far away from the city but the highway is smooth and the scenery is lush – so you’re up for…

God, Why Me? Have a Break at Kenny Hills Bakers, Bukit Tunku
If you’re reading this, I hope you’re well. I didn’t update the blog last week because I had nothing in mind that I felt was worth it to share. But I do now, especially after a well-deserved break at Kenny Hills Bakers, Bukit Tunku 🙂 No, this isn’t a food review post. The previous blog, in which I shared my vulnerabilities, surprisingly received a well-response. I thought nobody would care. But turned out, that some of them were feeling the same! God, Why Me? ‘…in all things God works for the good of those who love him…’ Romans 8:28 Last week, a lot of things happened to me at the…

Other Things to See in Toraja Besides Ke’te Kesu and Londa
There are three main reasons why most people are intrigued to visit Toraja, Indonesia: Ke’te Kesu, Londa and the funeral ceremonies. But actually, there are other wonderful things to see when you’re there! I could write a lot of blog posts about Toraja but there won’t be a lot to read as some of them are short visits. Or perhaps it’s I who want to finish writing about Toraja (hint: look at the Countries page, there are many places that I haven’t written about). Ok, without further ado, here are some places or things that you shouldn’t miss when in Toraja, Sulawesi, Indonesia: The Erotic Mountain at Buntu Kabobong, Bambapuang…
