What to eat in Fenchihu (Fenqihu) on a bus stopover – you have an hour!

Historically, the only reason why people stopover at Fenchihu/Fenqihu 奮起湖 was to have a quick lunch on their tedious train journey from Chiayi towards Alishan. Gradually, the quick lunch – also known as railway lunchbox 鐵路便當 became so popular that travellers make a deliberate stopover at Fenqihu to experience the flavours of olden days. Today, even with extended transport options to Alishan, it is still essential to grab a railway lunchbox on the way. Bus route from Chiayi to Alishan…

Spend a day eating with us in Kaohsiung

Kaohsiung needs more attention for it has the perfect balance of city and slow life, for its amazing xiao long bao, for the choice of bubble tea shops, for its photogenic old district and amazing sunset. In short, I really love Kaohsiung – so much that we dedicated a day (actually more) to eat our way through the city. We could have explored more if our stomach allows but for now here’s our limit in a day… What to eat…

Experience Tainan in a Daytrip! 5 places not to be missed.

They say if you haven’t been to Tainan, you haven’t experience Taiwan. True in some sense. If you never step into Tainan, you might not know the strong Japanese influence in the country. Tainan is one of the oldest city in Taiwan. There are barely any high-rise buildings but they are well-known for preserving the colonial buildings – evidence of their occupation history. We get a full day in this city, just 15 minutes HSR ride away from Kaohsiung. Here…

No Menu Local Dining in Tainan

A restaurant serving 8 courses at the fixed price, with a humourous chef and fresh ingredients – I can totally see why it’s started to get listed as one of the things to do in Tainan. Zhuxinju 筑馨居 is located along a quiet alley of old shophouses and it’s just another table of guest and us while we were there for the lunch course. The dinner, on the other hand is always packed. Reservation is required a day in advance…

10 local foods to try in Myanmar

Mingalarba, my fellow foodies out there! On a very honest and brutal note, not all tourists enjoy having traditional Burmese food. It’s so sour, it’s so spicy, it’s fermented. While we were in the Shan State which is supposedly known for its cuisine, we couldn’t find an authentic restaurant. In most tourist attractions, Thai restaurants are prominent. It’s a pity because travellers will easily miss out on the REAL delicious food in Myanmar. Delicious is not exotic. We are not…

Getaway to Penang

Shophouses, beaches and good food – these are what the Pearl of the Orient, Penang is known for. Three slow days in Penang and a day trip to Langkawi is a perfect getaway from Singapore. Day 1 We decided to head to the city to get some food before transferring bus to Batu Ferringhi where the beach is located. Guess we couldn’t be luckier -nearby the bus stop was a restaurant serving typical Malay style dishes where all food are…
