I really find myself enjoying the short getaways to Johor Bahru in Malaysia because there are many hidden finds and places with good local food to try out. Need I say that the price is too good to be true too? However, due the long queues at JB Checkpoint, we ended up spending the whole…
It is my second time here in Hanoi but I haven’t really got to visit the main attractions within Hanoi during my first visit. This time, I get to visit some of the popular tourist attractions like Ho Chi Minh Museum and Imperial Citadel of Thanh Long where I get to learn more about the…
One of the highlights of my recent trip to Hanoi is this visit to Duong Lam Ancient Village. It is an agricultural village of the Northern Red River delta. Over there, we got to experience what rural life is all. We did rice planting at the Padi fields and catching fish with bamboo baskets. Unfortunately,…

Food that has mom’s touch of love and dedication always tastes better somehow. But is it the same for this popular Korean fast-food chicken and burger joint? Read on to find out more. I am not a fast-food junkie but when it comes to Korean Chicken, I just could not resist. Judging from the endless…
Working in the CBD area can be boon or a bane. On one hand, you have to jostle among the morning rush-hour crowd. But on the other hand, the working crowd is spoilt for choice when it comes to food. There are plenty of food options to choose from, especially healthier eateries that serve real…
I enjoy flying. Who doesn’t? But this year, I haven’t been travelling much as I was preparing to shift into a new place (though I haven’t entirely shifted in).
