I finally visited the Oriental Kopi that my friends have been raving to me about. The original restaurant is in Kuala Lumpur but we visited the first outlet in Johor Bahru at Johor Jaya. The coffeeshop occupies a corner shophouse in Johor Jaya. The green and white signage that proudly proclaims “Oriental Kopi” is easy […]
After depositing our bag at Piggy House Kukup Chalet, we made our way to Kedai Minuman Ah Kneong for dinner. Kukup is a fishing village known for the houses on stilts, connected by narrow concrete pavements. Kedai Minuman Ah Kneong is converted from a stilt house, it’s humble-looking with a dark-blue signboard. This restaurant is […]
I keep seeing The Chicken Rice Shop everywhere I go in Johor Bahru and it’s always packed with people. What’s so special about a chicken rice shop, which is readily available in hawker centre and coffeeshops in Singapore? Enough is enough, I am going to find out for myself what is so special about The […]

History Beer was very expensive in Bavaria during the 16th century because beer had to be imported from Northern Germany. To reduce […]
Cafe Möbius we visited in Dresden is a bakery and cafe with seats to enjoy your purchase.

It faces the main square, so you can see everything that’s happening […]
U Tri Zlatych Hvezd means “At Three Golden Stars” in Czech. The first written mentions of the Three Golden Stars house date back to 1400 A.D. This is one of the remaining Prague empire houses with stucco decor. It was completely burned down during the Hussite Wars and rebuilt in 1813 where it stands till […]
My travel mates and I chanced upon Potrefena Husa Hybernská when we were looking for a Czech meal on our first day in Prague. Potrefena Husa Hybernská was established in 1869 which means it has 153 years of history! There are lots of rave reviews about this place on Tripadvisor. It was awarded “Traveller’s Choice […]

On my recent weekend getaway to Johor Bahru, I discovered an old-fashioned coffeeshop called Triple K Cafe. Triple K Cafe is located towards the end of Jalan Tan Hiok Nee. It’s one of those coffeeshops you probably walked past without even noticing. Aesthetically, there’s nothing worth noting. There’s just opened metal grills, revealing dirty-green floor with […]
