Daytrip to Tanjung Sepat

The old jetty behind the mushroom farm.  My city-son trying to haul the dis-used fishing net to get to the fishes trapped in between the netting

We took advantage of the recent Thaipusam long weekend to make a daytrip to Tanjung Sepat for some good food, CNY shopping and a no-screen excursion for our city kids.  

A Weekend in Ho Chi Minh - Part II

I can eat Vietnamese food every day!

There's something about a cuisine that features such prominent use of fresh herbs, minimal use of oil and heavy reliance on fresh ingredients.  Vietnamese food is considered one of the healthiest cuisine in the world.

A Weekend in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam - Part 1

Hubby and I went to Ho Chi Minh (HCM) last week for a short holiday without our 6 year old kiddo.  While we had a total chill and pig out break, our son was having a ball at a friend's house for 3 nights.  So everyone's happy :)

Mother's Day 2013

Happy Belated Mother's Day to my fellow ladies bloggers and readers. 

I had a enjoyable Mother's Day this year.  A few weeks ago I told hubby I would like to do something different for Mother's Day, like a weekend getaway to someplace out of KL but not too far away.

How to see Macau in 5 hours, Amazing Race style

Macao's famous St Paul's ruins

I am sure many of you would have watched the popular program called "Amazing Race" rite?  And you know the basic rule for all contestants in the show rite? ie to travel to all the specified locations (and complete all the tasks) in the fastest time possible using the least amount of money possible.

And that's more or less what we did for Macao. 

The Best Place to Shop for Kitchenware - Shanghai Street, Hong Kong

I've been to Hong Kong twice within the last 8 months, and both times I made a point to shop at Shanghai Street.  It is a cook's haven for kitchenware shopping.  Everything you will ever need for all those cooking and baking spree, you will find it here.

Travelling on the First Coach to Singapore

We went down to Singapore over the Christmas break for a short family getaway.  Since we decided on this trip pretty much at the last minute, going by air was out of the question as fares were exhorbitant.  We decided to take the coach, and since First Coach departs from Subang Parade (which is nearby our house), that seemed the best option.
