As part of our short adventure in KL, we reserve one of the days for a trip to Ipoh. I had heard many good things about the food in Ipoh, and since Sam’s mom calls it her home, we consulted her list of restaurants to check out. How to Get There & Around It’s worth…

A Winter Weekend in Bathurst, NSW Australia
Escape the hustle and bustle of Sydney for a change of scenery to explore regional New South Wales. Bathurst is a mere three-hour drive from Sydney, offering a perfectly charming winter getaway. A town alive with history, culture, and a growing food scene, there’s something to see and do for everyone. Two Heads Brewing Within…
What To Eat in Newcastle, NSW
If you’re longing for a quick getaway from Sydney, Newcastle is the perfect destination as long as you’re into small towns, food and ocean baths. Most people would probably drive to Newcastle, but we take the train. Within Newcastle we take buses (where Opal also works, FYI) to get around quite easily. Subo The reason Eric…
What to Eat and Do in KL, Malaysia
I’ve been to KL three or four times before, but only a couple of days each time. This meant that I only ever saw the inside of shopping malls and a few touristy destinations like the Petronas Towers and the aquarium. A three-day trip to KL over the Easter long weekend was our chance to properly…
What To Eat in Hobart, Tasmania
The food in Tasmania is arguably the best in the country. With incredible produce at their fingertips, chefs are free to experiment with only the finest, freshest ingredients. After collating a list of recommended restaurants, cafes, and markets, I shortlisted my favorites, and started making bookings. Bookings are essential at most of the restaurants I’ve…
A Sneak Peek of Orange F.O.O.D Week
The Food of Orange District (F.O.O.D) festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Running from 8th to 17th April, F.O.O.D Week is the country’s longest running regional food festival. You only need to drive about 3.5 hours out of Sydney to reach the charming food and wine hub. Showcasing quality produce and cool climate wine…
What To Do in Hobart, Tasmania
We spent most of our four days in Hobart at restaurants, but in between meals there were a few activities and fun stuff we explored. The Tassie capital is so small, you can pretty much walk anywhere within 15 minutes. There’s a town feel to it, more than a city feel. And at night it’s deathly…
Jonah’s Restaurant and Boutique Hotel, Whale Beach
Recently I treated Eric to a surprise getaway at Jonah’s at Whale Beach for his 30th birthday. At first I was tempted by the bed, breakfast & dinner package the hotel offers. But after a few calculations, I was befuddled to find that the packages are more expensive than if you just book everything separately. So I went…
What To Eat and Do in Jakarta
I lived in Jakarta for ten years, and graduated from high school there. Most of my days were taken up by homework or rehearsal for the school’s dance team, but every Friday we’d go to the mall and watch a movie. There’s not much else to do there, to be honest, except to eat delicious, delicious food….
Novotel Canberra’s Gastronomy Package
Lovers of food, wine, culture, and art will without a doubt appreciate the two-night gastronomy package offered by Novotel Canberra. I was lucky enough to experience it first-hand over the weekend which coincided with The Truffle Festival. What’s included? Two nights of accommodation in a standard room, buffet breakfast for two each morning at One…
Exploring Canberra’s Truffle Festival 2015
Canberra’s annual Truffle Festival is bigger and better this winter. Over the weekend I was lucky enough to get a taste of what the Truffle Festival is all about thanks to Novotel Canberra. There’s something special about the prized truffle (other than the fact they’re expensive). It’s not just that you need a dog (or…
Eating and Exploring in Maui
If you like beaches and nature, then Maui is the island for you. There’s a small beach town feel compared to Honolulu. And what’s not to love about waterfalls, black sand beaches and whale watching? On the food side of things, it didn’t quite compare to Honolulu, but that didn’t deter us from enjoying many great meals….
