Eyes through Ipoh.

1. Discovered Ben's Independent Grocer for the first time and it was and still is love at first sight.
Had the ever most delish red velvet cake and Berries Smoothie which was also delectably good.
2. Ben & Jerry's Phish Food to cure the scorching hot day.
3. Herbal Duck soup noodles at Bidor.
4. French Hotel right smack in the middle of Ipoh. It was a very decent + clean boutique hotel and convenient to go around places.
Will definitely return to this quaint yet minimalist hotel.
5. Tofu-fa at its best state, texture and flavour - one and only Funny Mountain, Ipoh.
6. Dessert at Indulgence, Ipoh - Oeuf (different textures of chocolate to form a nest for the gelato eggs)
7. Very good Dim Sum brunch at Ming Court, Ipoh.
8. Silky smooth egg custard at Thean Chun, Ipoh.

Hong Kong Photo Diary ::: Day One.

Apologies as this is a long overdue post and here it goes. Sometime in the middle of last month, my colleagues, Sab and I went to the land of duty free and all seafood galore which was Hong Kong!!! (I wish I'm there now) Since we only have four days of vaca, we've tried to squeeze in as many things/food we can do/eat as possible. Hence, the itinerary for the first day was:-

1. Breakfast at Oldtown - KLIA Airport Building before we board.
2. Rushing through the busy streets to the ferry pier to Central.
   
3. First meal of the day ::: Wanton Noodles by Mak's Noodle!!! =D

Let me emphasize more about Mak's Noodle (since food has always been my priority in all of my city travels). Ever since I've tried Mak's Noodle last fall 2008, the taste and texture of the wantons and noodles has never really left my mind. The prawns was generously big and crunchy (not to mention fresh and sweet). The noodle was springy and full of flavour (unlike some wanton noodles served here). When I came back here, I was in glee mood! The taste and texture of it has never changed. Even if the portion is small and it cost for about HKD30 per bowl, I would still return over and over again because this is probably one of the best wanton noodles I ever tried. On another note, I've managed to try out the beef tendon (or brisket?) introduced by Cherry aka DKJ and it was good! The tendons were marinated and boiled for hours to sustain the texture and flavours from the broth. Definitely thumbs up!

4. Natural routine to head to Pacific Coffee after purchasing the moist(est) + softest that can-melt-into-your-mouth egg tarts & egg cake from Tai Cheong Bakery.

5. Stroll around the city to The Peak!


6. Dinner time at Four Seasons Claypot. The claypot rice here was exceptional. Love how they let us "cook our own claypot rice" by adding the broth to our own liking and cover with the claypot lid for a minute or so. The amount of meat (depending on your order) given was just right and the rice was fragrant and "loose". The fried oyster is also one of the "must order" dish and it tasted just as good! The egg + oysters was balanced (not too starchy as well) and the chili paste was a good compliment to consume with it.

7. After-dinner stroll around Temple Street (didn't know there was so much porn around here)
8. Supper for some of us - finally got my egg pastry!!! =D

That sums up my first day at Hong Kong and will continue soon with the rest of my (makan) adventures.

Ao Nang 003.

*I know this is a super late post can die however I'm still gonna post it up =P

Continuation of 001 & 002.

So as for day three, we bid farewell to the wonderful Phi Phi Island :( and hopped on to the jet to the pier for Ao Nang baby!

The ride took about almost an hour (which was a sunny yet relaxing one 'cos I sat outside along with the ang mohs - I'm the only Chinese!)

As we arrived to our destination, Mr. Nirawit (our designated driver of the trip) has been waiting with a very pimped up ride (we never expected our ride to be that bling-bling) and we're whisked away to the boutique hotel named Aree Tara Boutique Hotel.

Since it's already 6pm, we asked Mr. Nirawit to take us to the best local restaurant that serves pork and he indeed took us to one of the best served pork at Ao Nang.

Fresh Coconut Water

A must in Thailand - Tom Yam Kung Nam Sai

Green Curry Chicken

Catch of the day (sorry guys, forgotten what type of this fish is)

STAR OF THE NIGHT - The pork were crispy + tender and it was finger pork licking good!!!

After the dinner, we wanted to go to the night market and he brought us to this place where they have mango sticky rice.

It was very good! The mango was so sweet and the rice is cooked just nice.

That sums up my third and last night of Krabi trip and I hope I could return there soon :)

What is your ultimate summer vaca?

Pepper & Chips

Island trips has always been my must go to place every single year. I just love the smell of the ocean, the touch of the sand and the view of coconut trees. All three combined and I'm in heaven! The food doesn't have to be great as long I have everything I need (sun, sea & hot bod boys to look at).

How about yours?

The Oriental Shop

Freshly baked cookies

Just right creme brulee

Hot latte with brown sugar

One thing I love 'bout this place is they serve really good pastries & cookies. Too bad I cannot "ta pao" back here ):

What a way to start my first post.
