16:00 04/04/2014 Must try Nasi Gudeg! Countless times we heard this rice dish all throughout Yogyakarta journey whenever we asked locals. Being a foodie, we can’t let pass without sampling this staple food in Jogja. As recommended, we aimed to visit Gudeg Yu Djum touted to be the house of the best Nasi Gudeg in […]

Bagan Trip: An Overview
03:40 02/05/2014 We set foot on the ancient city of Bagan on the wee hours with eyes half closed. The bus conductor went on loud outcry waking up everyone to ensure all Bagan bound passengers to disembark. The surrounding was pitched black except for the light coming from the post. An old man riding a […]
Temporary Abode: Tune Hotels ( now Red Planet) Cebu, Philippines
15:45 11/09/2014 We’d live in Cebu for more than three years and considered it as our second home. So we’re bit familiar on the happening spots, places of interest and best area to stay. But that was half a decade ago. Probably things have changed now. The incessant development in metro Cebu causes the surge […]
One Chef, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
12:50 31/08/2015 Instead of the usual out of the country trip every Merdeka celebration. We skip this year, opted to rest our itchy feet and join the commemoration of Malaysia’s Independence Day. Of course a celebration wouldn’t be complete without a food on the table. So we scouted for a traditional Malaysian restaurant that serves […]
Kuching Trip: Sarawak River Cruise
17:30 01/02/2015 Dark cloud looms the sky threatening our sole activity for this trip. Upon arrival a prelude of thunder greeted us screaming “Monsoon season baby”. It justifies the moniker of Kuching as the wettest city in Malaysia. This means no dramatic sunset over Kuching river. Sad but not disheartened. Despite the impending rainstorm our giddiness […]
Yangon Trip: Chauk Htat Gyi Pagoda
12:35 01/05/2014 “Cha-uk ta-at gi-yi” verbatim as it should be, that’s how we uttered the little famous pagoda to the taxi driver. He responded a bewildering look and silence. We keep on repeating the word hoping he’ll eventually get it but only mustered us with a smile. Great! Deep sigh! As a last resort and […]
Temporary Abode : Amata Resort, Phuket Thailand
09:45 28/06/2014 A resort hotel with pretty pool, near to Patong Beach and Bangla Road. These are the criteria upon searching for accommodation in Phuket. But we’re facing a double dilemma, “budget and time”. We shun last minute travel and hotel bookings as surely it is expensive. Our funds just recently depleted after getting hitched. […]
