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…

Ipoh Film Diary

I tried a different disposable camera this time as I managed to get my hands on by chance. These are taken with Fujicolor 400 39 Exposure disposable camera (Japan Version). The camera is meant for landscape and not close-ups. Anyway, still survived with a handful of beautiful heritage architectures of Ipoh. There are a lot of murals in Ipoh too! I really love these old vehicles in Malaysia and they are still in working conditions! Dragon beard candy stall which…

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…

Da Hu Chun 大壶春 Even if you are not a bread lover, these buns (bao) are hard to resist. It has that perfect thickness of a bao with a crispy base. The first bite is a surprise. The savoury soup flows right out and the minced meat inside the bao is tender yet the flavour is not overwhelming.

Jiuzhaigou Film Diary

Jiuzhaigou was breathtaking. The best water scenery ever. I had the opportunity to visit it before the 2017 earthquake and I am sure it will be restored to its original beauty. Some of the most beautiful attractions I have seen are documented with my little film camera that more people should know about. Mirror Lake 镜海 There are indeed countless points of interest within Jiuzhaigou itself and I can hardly choose a favourite one. This is probably one of the…

3 days in Beijing

Beijing will always hold a special place in my heart – it’s the first city I ‘really’ solo travelled, it’s the city that made me fall in love with China, it’s the city where I got pickpocketed the first time. And after more than a year, I am back to Beijing. Re-exploring and redefining the experience I had. I would say summer in China is totally different from winter – much more crowded that is. Sad to say that the…
