We started Day 2 in Penang with a whole morning of non-stop eating action around the Air Itam Market area. If you’ve missed out my earlier blog posts on some recommended local eats, here they are – Sister Curry Mee Te Chang You Tiao Wang Air Itam Laksa Tummies satisfied. Time to head over to […]

After trying the extra long fried dough fritters at Te Chang You Tiao Wang, we headed back to the Air Itam Market area for a bowl of assam laksa at the popular Air Itam Laksa place. Both the locals and tourists love their assam laksa because they have been serving up authentic Penang laksa since […]

From Sister Curry Mee, we took a 10-minute walk along Jalan Paya Terubong to get to Te Chang You Tiao Wang, which specialises in fried dough fritters. As its name suggests, they don’t just make dough fritters, they make extra long ones. Their you tiao is approximately 14 inches long i.e. almost the length of […]

After a wonderful breakfast of wok-hei-laden char koay teow at Tiger Char Koay Teow, we made our way to Air Itam Market as we intended to visit Kek Lok Si Temple later in the day. So convenient to get around with Grab from where we were in George Town. The trip to Air Itam Market […]

Our last food stop on Day One. Ending the night on a sweet note. We visited ChinaHouse which claimed to be the longest cafe in Penang. ChinaHouse is a traditional compound that spans three heritage buildings, linked by an open-air courtyard. Its various spaces offer multifaceted experiences comprising shops, cafes, restaurants, an art gallery, a […]

Day 1 in Penang. Our food journey continues to our 4th stop of the day. And this time, it would be street food at Kimberley Street Night Market. Every evening around 5pm, Lebuh Kimberley would be turned into a vibrant food street with pushcart hawkers lining up along the street. Kimberley Street Night Market is […]

After a very satisfying lunch at Joo Hooi Cafe where we tucked into some local favourites, we popped over to Ming Xiang Tai Pastry Shop which was just next door. Day 1 – Round 3, here we come! This Ming Xiang Tai outlet on Penang Road really oozes an old school charm. The shop front […]

If you’ve been to Penang before, you’ve probably tried Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul @ Lebuh Keng Kwee. It’s the most well-known chendol in Penang. Their chendol is one of the top things that I miss the most after each trip to Penang. Even though they have outlets in Johor Bahru, the taste isn’t the […]

We are off to Penang for a week’s worth of non-stop eating action! ✈️ Woohoo! If you’ve been following my blog, you probably would have read my previous posts on Penang, which is one of my favourite places to visit in Malaysia. Besides cafe-hopping, enjoying local eats and getting snapshots of street art, there are […]

Wonderland is another specialty restaurant onboard most of Royal Caribbean’s cruise ships. As its name suggests, Wonderland is a fairytale-inspired restaurant that serves up creative cuisine in the form of a ‘show’. The unique plating and presentation of food will not just satisfy your tastebuds but will also delight your senses. So bring along your […]

After having an underwhelming lunch buffet at Windjammer Marketplace the day before, we just didn’t fancy breakfast at the same place. And thus we decided to skip it and reserve stomach space for an early lunch at Jamie’s Italian instead. Savour The Best With The Unlimited Dining Package Jamie’s Italian is one of four specialty […]

Chops Grille is an American steakhouse and also Royal Caribbean’s hallmark restaurant where one can savour the best of land at sea. It is one of the few specialty restaurants onboard most of Royal Caribbean cruise ships which means guests can dine here at an additional charge. Alternatively, you can do like what we did […]

This is Part 2 of my Royal Caribbean Cruise review. If you’ve missed my earlier post, you can read about it here: Royal Caribbean Cruise to Nowhere (Part 1 of 2). As mentioned before, this second part of my review will be all about food so let’s dig in!? For most cruise goers, the greatest […]

We took a 3-night cruise to nowhere onboard Quantum of the Seas before it ended its voyage in Singapore. It was our first time taking a Royal Caribbean cruise and also our first time taking a cruise to nowhere i.e. without any port of call. Initially, I was quite concerned about taking a cruise holiday […]

Time for another hotel stay / mini holiday in Johor Bahru! We wanted to stay away from the city centre and venture to a different part of JB that we hadn’t been to before. And that was how we ended up booking a 3-night stay at the Renaissance Johor Bahru Hotel, which is approximately a […]

We set off early in the morning to make our way to Johor Bahru. Thought there would be a lot of people going in and that traffic would be heavy but it wasn’t so. Didn’t take us long at all to cross the Causeway. Arrived at City Square at around 9am and the mall wasn’t […]
