Nha Trang – Six Senses Hideaway Ninh Van Bay Vietnam has a lot to offer. After spending some time in sight-seeing, immersing in the local culture and savouring delicious Vietnamese food; the idea of spending time under the sun doing nothing on a beautiful island was very inviting! I think Vietnam is a great destination for beach holiday. Its coastline stretches the entire length of the country, almost... 

Char Kway Teow/炒粿條/Fried Flat Rice Noodles, is my old-time favourite and popular dish in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Many of us will relate this dish to Penang whenever it is mentioned. And yes, Penang Char Kway Teow is indeed something that shouldn’t be missed when one visits Penang. Every time I visit Penang, I always make sure I have Char Kway Teow a few times before I leave! Apart from this dish,... 

Living in a country where the sun likes to play hide and seek, it has gotten me to learn the real meaning of sun over these years. Sun means happiness to me. When I see the sun coming out to play, I feel motivated and happier than the usual grey, cloudy, and windy day. Well, it’s not only me that feels differently when the sun shines. I suppose, fruits and vegetables are happier too as the sun makes them tastier... 

Huế Travel from South to North Vietnam or the other way round? I guess, this is a very common question that you will probably ask if you plan to travel to Vietnam one day. Well, I guess, either way, it doesn’t make much difference. I think it all depends if Vietnam is your only travel destination of you have the next one after. What we did was travelling from North (Hanoi) and make our way towards South (Ho... 

Have you ever questioned yourself the difference between shrimp and prawn? Do you say shrimp or prawn? For me, I have always been using the term prawn. I have this idea that shrimp is slightly smaller than prawn. They both apparently are quite similar looking, but, in reality, they are not that similar. Anyway, this has been in my head for quite a while and until recently, I decided to look up the differences between... 

Hanoi We had less than 48 hours to explore Hanoi, Vietnam’s capital located in the far north lies in a bend of the Red River. Vietnam is one of the destinations that I have always wanted to visit – savouring real Vietnamese food, experiencing the real Asia and admiring French colonial architecture. From the moment I stepped my foot in the old quarter of Hanoi, I could already sense the difference... 

I love summer as it means warm and sunny, colourful, BBQ, and lots of fruits to eat! I have a soft spot for berries; they look pretty, colourful and tasty. During summer, when I go food shopping, those berries at the fruits section always catch my attention. Admiring them from far, it seems that they are waving at me and say ‘buy and eat me’! Amongst so many kinds of berries, one of my favourites has to... 

In Penang, you don’t have to worry about food. There is no chance that you will go hungry! Plenty of food stalls/hawkers centres are scattered around the island. Some are even opened 24 hours. Everywhere you go, you will see people eating if not smelling food! I think, we Malaysians are really lucky when comes to food as we are always spoilt for choices. In Asia, one has to really explore the food scenes.... 

I know, I have been missing in action! I didn’t realise that the last post on my blog was more than a month ago. First of all, I want to say thank you to those who sent me emails to ask if everything was fine. I am doing fine, I haven’t quit blogging! Just that I didn’t mention that I was away for more than 3 weeks to SE Asia. I went to Malaysia to see my family since my last trip was more than 2... 

Chirashizushiちらし寿司, known as scattered sushi is a bowl of sushi rice served with other ingredients arranged nicely on top of the rice. I remember my recent trip to Tokyo, we had super yummy and fresh chirashizushi at one of the sushi shops in Tsukiji Market at about 07:00! I have never had chirashizushi before and not to mention at 07:00! I am probably more familiar with other types of breakfasts than having...
