I remembered going with an ex-boyfriend and his colleagues to Johor Bahru. We had the most scrumptious seafood meal, all for just S$70 per person. I asked the ex-boyfriend for the name of the place and he told me it was Restaurant Siang Kee. During a recent weekend getaway to Johor Bahru, I made it […]
I miss going overseas and eating street food as I explore (like what I did in Tsukiji Market), which you can’t really do in Singapore. “Street food” are food that you eat on the streets, not in seat-down hawker centres. Besides Bugis Street and shopping mall basements, there is another place where you can munch […]
Myanmar has so much delicious food but ordering food at restaurants are nightmarishly-difficult. At least 90% of Myanmar people don’t speak a word of English and Google Translate doesn’t seem to work either. Most restaurant menus are written in Burmese language and I simply cannot decipher the curly-wiggly Burmese words. The increase in tourists […]
My Myanmar colleague, Su, and I went on a day trip to Pyin Oo Lwin from Mandalay. We hired a car to drive us to visit 7 places in Pyin Oo Lwin. When it was time for lunch, our driver told us that he had a recommendation and he drove us to a restaurant called […]
Google says that winter in Myanmar is November to February, which is why my colleague Su and I decided to go in November. It is still as hot, probably because it is just the start of winter. The worse thing is, most shops and markets in Myanmar does not have air-conditioning. It was mid-day, Su […]
Tea shops are an integral part of Myanmar culture. Tea shops are not only places to drink tea, they are places where Burmese people socialize. One of the most popular tea shop chain is Lucky Seven Tea Shop which has several outlets around Yangon. There is no air-conditioning at Lucky Seven Tea Shop, the restaurant […]
Special thanks to my Myanmar colleague Su’s cousin, who chauffeured us around all day and my Myanmar colleague Su who acted as my local guide and translator. My Myanmar trip would not have been so smooth without their help. Today was my first official day in Yangon. I had a good rest at HOOD Hostel […]
Call me whatever you want, but I love eating the local food everywhere I travel. I feel that the fastest and cheapest way to experience the local culture is through eating the local food. I recently went on a 3 days 2 nights Kuala Terengganu and Kapas Island weekend getaway. If you happen to stay in […]
May started baking since 10 years old and she wanted to share the love of good coffee and desserts with everyone. She opened the first After You Dessert Cafe in 2007 right after college. After You Dessert Cafe’s menu consists of thick toasts, kakigori, pancakes and hot/cold coffee drinks. You can find the full toast, […]
I am so glad I took up my DewyHouse host, Chim’s advise to check out Nimmanahaeminda Road. I stumbled upon Mont Nom Sod, one of the most popular dessert shop in Thailand. Just a few steps next to Mont Nom Sod is an inconspicuous stall called Chang Moi Noodle. It is not popular but it […]
