Penang island, hands down, is a must-visit if you are a bonafide durian lover. 2018 marked the 3rd consecutive year I have traveled to Penang purely for their durian season and of course, it doesn’t hurt that Penang is also a food heaven in Malaysia! Good food, great durians and excellent hospitality from Penangites, what…
A Seoul-ful trip, South Korea April 2017
After much planning, we finally arrived early morning on 16th April at Incheon Airport. From there we proceed to take the AREX (Airport Railroad Express) to Seoul station, and then we transferred to Subway Line 4 and got off at Dongdaemun History & Culture Park station. Since we were way too early from the standard…
3 Days 2 Nights Jeonju, South Korea April 2017
As there’s no train from Busan to Jeonju, express bus is our only choice. We took the subway from Busan station to Nopo station, 40mins journey through 21 stations. Followed the signage to Busan Central Bus Terminal and bought our tickets on the spot. There is an hourly bus heading to Jeonju so you need…
3 Days 2 Nights Busan, South Korea April 2017
Arrived early in the morning by KTX from Seoul and our AirBnB host were kind enough to pick us up from the station and brought us to her accommodation where we dropped our luggage. From there we head straight to Nampo station and after a brief walk we were at Jagalchi Market for lunch.

Addiction Aquatic Development, Taipei
If you love seafood and have a bit of time on hand then I recommend paying Addiction Aquatic Development (ADD) a visit. I happened to chance upon this venue while Googling for a place for lunch, and boy, what a discovery! My visit lasted 2.5 hours but one can easily spend a whole day at…
The hunt for the best Char Kway Teow in Penang, Malaysia June 2016
I have an obsession with Char Kway Teow, or CKT for short, whenever I’m in a hawker center that’s the first thing I’d order whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even supper. So what is CKT? It’s basically flat rice noodles fried in a wok under high heat to produce the “wok hei” aka smoky aroma….
Pizza 4Ps, HCMC, Vietnam
I’ve been wanting to visit this pizza establishment for quite some time, like for the last 2-3 yrs now! I live and work on the outskirt of Ho Chi Minh City and a trip down town usually takes 45mins or longer depending on traffic. It’s more like a chore to go down unless I REALLY have…
