Thailand #2: MUST GO Pasar Malam in Bangkok – Talad Rod Fai 2 Night Market
In Malaysia, we have pasar malam (night market) everywhere. We can find a lot of street food, cheap clothes, fresh vegies and fruits, raw meats and more in pasar malam. If you are visiting our neighbour country, Thailand, there is a night market you shouldn’t miss in Bangkok – Talad Rod Fai 2 Night Market at Ratchada. Holding this post for few months, I finally got my time to choose photos for the second post of my Thailand trip this year. Unlike our pasar malam, Thailand’s one is more about food and snacks, fashion and also some gifts and accessories. What makes Talad Rod Fai 2 Night Market so different…

The Cardamom Hostel 小豆蔻旅舍 @ Malacca
Not sure how many of you remember my sudden getaway trip at Malacca during mid-August this year. Remember I shared an izakaya review? Check it out here. So after one and half month, I finally find my time to write my accommodation review. Since it was a sudden trip, it would be pricey if we book a hotel room. And also, Danny and I were planning to reduce our budget too. And hence, we decided to search for homestay. After few searches and recommendations, we booked our stay at The Cardamom Hostel. FYI, it was our first homestay experience. We were curious about the accommodation and the service. We didn’t…

3D2N Redang Island Snorkelling Adventure
Finally, I am sharing about our 3D2N at Redang Island! In fact, Danny and I went there in March, the first day/week that Redang Island re-opens! It was my second time snorkelling, yet, the first time truly experience snorkelling. For those who don’t know about Redang Island. Here’s a short brief about it: Located at Kuala Terengganu, Redang Island, locally known as Pulau Redang or just “Redang” is one of the largest islands off the east coast of Malaysia that is famous for its crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches and the marine fauna with numerous reefs. It is one of nine islands, which form a marine park offering snorkeling and diving opportunities. Access is from Merang or Kuala…

Kellie’s Castle @ Batu Gajah
After a fun Saturday at the event, Under The Windmill, we decided to go Kellie’s Castle the next day. People said, Kellie’s Castle is located at Ipoh, but more accurate is Batu Gajah. An hour drive from KL, you will able to visit this stunning historical castle. A brief history about Kellie’s Castle for those who don’t know about Kellie’s Castle. Kellie’s Castle was meant to be a home away from home for Scottish Planter, William Kellie Smith in the 20th century. Being far away from home, Kellie desired his new residence to be reminiscent of his home back in Scotland. The castle is perched on top of a hill in…

Thailand #1: A Day in Ayutthaya (Long Lek Boat Noodle + Ayutthaya Historical Park + Freshwater Market + Bang Pa-In Summer Palace)
It has been almost two months ago, Danny and I as well as our friends were having a-week trip travelling in Thailand; from Bangkok to Krabi. It was an exciting but also tiring vacation. Thanks to our Thai friend, Antz to be our tour guide. Else, we might get lost in this big city. Touched down at Bangkok around 10am. Honestly speaking, I was a little anxious. This is my first time visiting a country I has zero understanding on their native language. Thus, I did really appreciate to have Antz with us. The first stop upon arrival was heading to the north, the second capital of Thailand, Ayutthaya. Long…

Redang Beach @ Sekinchan
How is your first week of 2015?To be honest, I am still excited with the brand new year.Especially when reviewing my day trip at Redang Beach Sekinchan. For Malaysian, I am sure you know our beautiful Redang Island, off the state of Terengganu. So, why am I saying Redang Beach is at Sekinchan? When I first came across this, I was thinking the same. However, after doing some research, I realized Sekinchan does have a beach called “Pantai Redang”. And also, if you are a Hong Kong TVB drama fan, this beach isn’t strange for you. Remember the drama “Outbound Love” (Chinese: 单恋双城)? Redang Beach is the one of their…

Love Lock Penang Hill
Greetings to beauties and handsome~Not sure whether you guys have heard about Love Lock at Penang Hill?Danny and I were there few months back and I am glad to share with you all this lovely place. Many of us know about the Love Lock Bridge in Paris. But, early this year part of this bridge was found collapsing due to the weight of locks. Not sure is it such a coincidence, Penang Hill announced the opening of Love Lock bridge on 14 February 2014, which is the western valentine day. ❤ Source A kiosk to sell lock is set at the side of bridge. Visitors can buy lock there. But…

锅香府特色火锅 Guo Xiang Fu Steamboat @ Georgetown
Food, always the best friend of ours.So, today I am going to share my review on a steamboat restaurant at Penang – Guo Xiang Fu.又是饮食篇,今天将和大家分享锅香府特色火锅。 In this early October, Danny and I have our short gateaway to Penang. Well, since this was our third time, we were craving for something that we never tried before. That’s how we found Guo Xiang Fu Steamboat. It is located at Jalan Seang Tek, Georgetown, which isn’t too far from our hotel. 10月上旬时,趁着假期就和亲爱的溜到槟城度假去。这是我们第三次到这儿度假,所以我们希望能到一些我们没有去过的地方。就这样,网上搜呀搜,搜到锅香府。由于和我们的酒店相差不远,加上两个人有好久没吃过火锅了,看看介绍的价钱又还可以,最后决定去吃个痛快! I was attracted by its door/entrance at first sight. But don’t deceived by it. It is wallpaper, instead of the classic Chinese door. 到那里,第一眼就被它的门给吸引住了。但仔细看看才发现这扇复古的门其实只是墙纸而已,它和现代的门是一样的。We ordered the seafood porridge and add on some a’ la carte dishes. When the food…
