ACTUALLY WE DID NOT BOOK ANY HOTEL IN ADVANCE, it was a last minute trip up to Cameron Highlands. On the way we called up several hotels to check out their rates, yes, we compared their walk-in rates with an online website. To our surprise, the online website is cheaper than the phone calls to...
AS IT WAS TOO EARLY TO CHECK IN, we drove passed Tanah Rata to visit the evergreen plantation... no, it is not durian plantation but Tea Plantation this time... It has been more than three years since my last visit and three years later, it still has the same look... (Only my look has changed!
MY PAST POST ON PENANG will be filled with none other than food that I have taken during my one week stay. Food that have made me grow rounder than before, actually I did not gain much weight, just rounder on my face, my expanded waist, a bigger tummy and... er... that is it! Parts that I wanted...
What are the normal activities to do in Penang? Besides food, of course.... This time I had plenty to do, with all the "foodathon" going on, I have to do some "shedding off" calories too. It was raining that evening but that did not deter me from going to the gym in CRC aka Chinese Recreation...
MY NEIGHBOUR TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD VISIT HAKKA VILLAGE IN BALIK PULAU... Oh, I didn't know there is such a tourist spot up on the hills, all I think of is Durians when one mention Balik Pulau or Laksa. Since I am in the travel mode, I suggested to my friend who willingly oblige to go and have a look...
EACH MORNING IN PENANG, I ALWAYS WAKE UP THINKING of having a hot bowl of Koay Teow Th'ng! The name is the same for every stall which sells KTT but the servings and ingredients may differ from one another. Since we woke up late that morning, we went to the stall off Carnarvon Street, hoping the...
AS EVENING APPROACHED, I had a nice dinner with a group of friends at Hollywood restaurant, Batu Feringgi. It was my second time eating at this restaurant, mainly Hainanese styled, I was told. I have not really tried much before and naturally I was looking forward to a night of new dishes. As...
THE EVENING WAS STILL YOUNG WHEN our dinner was safely tucked in... what I need then was something cooling and one shop in Kimberley Street came to my mind.It was a weekday so the street was not as busy as during the weekends....But I said it a bit too soon...An hour later, I saw a tourist bus passing...
MY FRIEND WANTED MALAYSIAN FOOD... well, we did not have enough time to cover much cultural food except for Chinese. If she stays a week more, perhaps then we could have go for Malay and Indian food around here in Ipoh. And IF she stays for another week, most probably or should I say, FOR SURE,...
AFTER OUR MORNING BRUNCH AT CHANG JIANG, we adjourned to do some shopping at Billion. My friend wanted to buy batik attires and I could not think of any other place but the shops around there in Silibin which sell nice and cheap clothing. On the way, we felt kind of thirsty. It must be the food...
WHAT IS THE BEST THING TO DO AFTER A HEAVY MEAL? Yes, the word starts with "ZZZzzz"... that makes me wonder why the letter "ZZZ" represents sleep... hmmmm....But before we went for a short nap, my sister and I filled up the Roman bathtub with hot water, pour in lots of red sea salt and dipped...
WITH FULL SATISFYING TUMMIES, WE MADE OUR WAY BACK TO OUR VILLAS... Oh, sorry... something is wrong here.... actually the line-up was not like that... let me recall.... hmmmm......Upon arriving at the jetty, we were led to the reception area and the library which served as a "briefing" area as...
BEFORE WE CHECKED-IN TO OUR ROOMS, we took our lunch at Royal Bay Beach Club, just a short walking distance away from our beach villa. Friendly staff taking our orders from the menu....We were entitled to a main course which comes with either an appetizer or dessert...So we ordered some appetizers and...
IT WAS A WEEKEND BONDING WITH LOVE ONES.... Long weekend since it coincides with Labour Day and many took the opportunity to celebrate Mother's Day as well. Besides food tour, I became tour guide and went to places the tourists go....Went to old town Concubine Lane also known as Yee Lai...
SOMEBODY UPLOADED A VIDEO OF A SPECIAL DISH on Facebook recently and since someone's birthday was yesterday, we decided to have the celebration at East Ocean Restaurant last night. We booked the table one month beforehand because it was a long weekend this week. It has been some time since we...
TING... THE MESSAGE SHOWED..."TOMORROW WHAT TIME?" ... then few seconds later, the reply came.."8.30am, get ready!" Our usual communication during the night to prepare for the next day. That means... I got to get up at 7.45 this morning, very much earlier than my usual wakey time! But then...
In the recent months, there are quite a number of new cafes booming in Damansara Uptown. So on one quiet and random night (not so quiet when there's me actually), paid a visit to Hail's, a cafe that sells soft serve ice-creams.Placed our orders at the counter and waited for them to be served to us.
IF NOT FOR YOU, I wouldn't go there at all..... I am not a patient lady, my friends will vouch for that, seriously! If I could help it, I really turn down going to crowded places, queue up, pay more than it is worth, to get some "Famous" snacks in Ipoh. I really don't like to Q...... But for the...
NEXT TO CHINESE LOCAL FOOD, THE NEXT ON THE LIST IS THAI! So when my friend called me to go to try this new shop selling Thai food, I did not hesitate at all.... For one, I do not know where it is and trying something new is always in my vocabulary. Secondly, I love anything Thai, they suit my...
WE THOUGHT OF GOING TO CAMERON HIGHLANDS THE NEXT DAY.... but no, we changed our minds the next morning! It is a bit too far and tiring to drive all the way up but it was not too far when we decided to go Sitiawan instead.... hahahaha... The journey from Ipoh to Sitiawan took around one hour and...
