The New Imbi Market @ ICC Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

The old Imbi Market used to be situated on Jalan Melati, Imbi in Kuala Lumpur. Just five months ago, the market had moved to its new home and current premise at ICC Pudu. Perhaps many would regard that as a welcomed move as at the new premise, there would be improved infrastructure and a cleaner […]

TAPAK – Urban Street Dining at a Food Truck Park

I came across TAPAK when I was out exploring the streets for supper options on my first night in KL. It was just a stone’s throw away from my hotel (Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC), located at an open-air carpark next to Corus Hotel on Jalan Ampang. TAPAK is the brainchild of 4 high school […]

Getting around Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and review of Le Apple Boutique Hotel KLCC

Hello Kuala Lumpur! I’m back again! When I got off the plane, I was kinda standing there in disbelief that I had picked hectic KL as the destination for my healing trip, lol. No, don’t get me wrong. I don’t hate KL. In fact, there’s nothing I don’t like about KL except unscrupulous taxi touts […]

Headed to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a 9-day eat-venture while the husband was on business. I was previously in a job where I had to travel a lot because the events that my company was organising were mainly based in the Asia Pacific region. KL was one of the cities that I often flew to […]

4 hours in Langkawi on Sapphire Princess cruise

Hello again Langkawi! This beautiful island located on the west coast of Malaysia is another of my favourite destinations (besides Bali) for a relaxing beach holiday where I could just do nothing but enjoy my 3S – sun, sea and sand. In 2002, I came to Langkawi with my family while on a Superstar Virgo […]

Penang Road Famous Teochew Chendul @ Keng Kwee Street, Georgetown, Penang

From Toh Soon Cafe, we walked for about 5 minutes along Jalan Penang to Lebuh Keng Kwee (just 4 streets away) for our final food stop which was this chendol pushcart with an incredibly long queue. This auntie’s speed of whipping up bowls and bowls of chendol (RM2.50 per bowl) and ice kacang was just […]

After having a quick tea break at Mugshot Cafe, we headed to our next stop just further down the road and near to the junction of Lebuh Chulia and Jalan Penang. Line Clear Nasi Kandar is located in an alleyway which is very easy to miss. If you’re walking from Lebuh Chulia, keep to the […]

The Mugshot Cafe @ Chulia Street, Georgetown, Penang

The last time I came to Penang, I had a lovely tea break at Coffee Affairs that served up decadent mille crepes and cheesecakes. While exploring, I also discovered several other hipster cafes in the old quaint streets of Georgetown that I felt would be worth a separate cafe hopping trip. And indeed, this time […]

Lower Peirce Reservoir Park

Good morning sunshine! ☀☀☀ The husband and I went for a walk at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park as I wanted to feed the fishes. When we were done, we decided to go the opposite direction towards Upper Thomson Road so we could deviate from our usual route just for a change. I was glad we […]

A&W @ AEON Bukit Indah, Johor Bahru

A&W, you are dearly missed. Please come back to Singapore soon. Since A&W’s exit from Singapore in 2003, I’m sure many Singaporeans like myself who had grown up with one of our favourite childhood fast food chains must be craving for its root beer floats, waffles, coney dogs and curly fries for a long time. Though they […]
