Chuncheon, Korea is well known for its abundance of poultry farms. Hence it is not surprising that one of their most popular local food is the dak galbi which is a spicy stir-fried chicken dish with assorted vegetables (cabbage, onions, sweet potatoes, spring onions) and rice cakes. For my version, I added sweet potato vermicelli […]
Oyakodon is a Japanese dish in which chicken and egg are simmered together in a sauce and then served over rice. For my version, I used boneless chicken leg which I roasted in the oven to give it a crispy, golden brown crust and I served it with brown rice as a low-GI option. A […]
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 […]

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 […]
Back to Penang for half a day while on a cruise holiday aboard Sapphire Princess! For those who have yet gone on a Princess cruise or are considering to go on one, check out my blog posts on my cruising experience with Sapphire Princess last year: Sapphire Princess Cruise Review (Part 1 of 3) – […]
Japanese curry soba noodles? Perhaps curry udon or curry ramen is more common here in Singapore but since I’m so hooked onto soba noodles these days, I just want to give this combination a try.
