Changing with times
Just a few days ago, I was attempting to sort out the clothes in my wardrobe and it hit me – I now have more work clothes than cocktail and casual wear. Three years ago, blazers, A-line skirts and black slacks never existed in my wardrobe vocabulary. Change is inevitable. In life, we go through [...]

Sami Sami, AYANA Resort Bali
When it comes to soup, I have always preferred something robustly flavoured over the clearer variety. And the spicy seafood soup was what I opted for at Sami Sami, Ayana Resort Bali. Prior to dinner, my friends and I enjoyed an evening of breathtaking view and cocktails at Rock Bar next door. Sami Sami is...

Ong Cheng Huat Seafood in Bagan Lalang, Penang
Bagan Lalang is a place I’m not familiar with but a friend of mine recommended that I made this pitstop for seafood at Ong Cheng Huat en route Penang to KL. Located at the end of a winding and narrow road, the restaurant is known for its signature dishes – steamed red snapper, clams, prawn [...]

Hotel Review: Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai
For new hotels, art isn’t just a decoration. It has become a fundamental and ornamental element in a hotel design to allow guests to have deeper thoughts about their overall experience. At Mandarin Oriental Pudong, art integrates into the hotel architecture, design and concept – it is part of the hotel...

Moving Comfort for Neubodi Active
As one who is blessed with a fuller cup size, I sometimes have problems finding the right sports bra. XS usually runs a bit too tight while S is too loose around the back. Plus I’m not so fond of the “compressed” chest look. When I tried on the Neubodi Moving Comfort sports bra, I [...]

Sawara Steamboat, Penang
Steamboat (also known as hotpot to some) is best consumed when the weather is chilly and is especially tasty during winter. Hot pot is to Chinese, what fondue is to French – a happy and satisfying ritual that can last for hours. If I were to invite you to one of my homemade steamboat party, [...]

Ministry of Coffee, Solaris Mont Kiara
When it comes to coffee, I prefer mine black with a bit of milk in the morning just before I go for meetings. After work or during the weekend, it’s usually a flat white or if that’s not available, a latte. I also emphasis quite a fair bit on coffee art because it not only [...]

An ideal housewarming gift!
The haze has been super terrible this past two weeks and Im pretty sure the API index is more than 200 today. I dread walking from the train station to office because despite wearing a face mask, I can still smell the pollution. My sister in-law and her husband gave us a Honeywell air purifier [...]

Featherdale Wildlife Park, Sydney
Featherdale Wildlife Park in Sydney was there I had my first koala and kangaroo encounter. These furry animals were made accessible to the public so I had my fair share of petting them. The wildlife park is about an hour away from Sydney CBD and you can get there via train and bus, or take [...]

Pork Noodles at Restoran Sun Sea, Taman OUG
The porkier or more concentrated the broth, the tastier and unhealthier it is. At least that’s what I think. It does somewhat makes sense because a murky broth indicates the inclusion of pork bones and spare parts, cooked till the parts disintegrates into the broth. Thick pork broths are what make up some...

The week that was…
I always wonder if a bigger job title with more responsibilities would do me any good. I could definitely use a bigger salary and all the benefits that comes along with that job title. But it would mean I won’t have time for my loved ones and friends, let alone this blog. That also means [...]

Like the Sydney Harbour Cruise, part of the three attractions I visited using the iVenture Card was Blue Mountains. The explorer bus tour starts from Katoomba and allows you to hop on and off at your own leisure. There are 29 attractions at Blue Mountains so you basically choose the ones that interest you...

Lai Foong Beef Noodles, Kuala Lumpur
Each mouthful was a delight. Thin strips of hor fun, tossed in a mixture of dark soy sauce, shallot oil and pickled vegetables. As I indulged in my large bowl of noodles, the corner of my eye spotted several people waiting for a seat or table to free up, just so they could experience what [...]

It’s starting to feel a lot like home
Our new place is starting to feel like home – a little bit each day. We recently installed a kitchen island for more storage space and I love it. I now have more room to prepare food and the extra space comes in handy when I have friends over. I’ve been cooking every now and [...]

Beato Steakhouse, Bangsar
My old pa said the darndest things when my siblings and I were growing up. There was a thing about not eating watermelon or orange seeds because a tree would grow in my tummy. And then there was one where he insisted I ate my beef well done so I wouldn’t get mad cow disease. [...]
