Got the LJ app on my phone to see if I'll feel more motivated to pen down my thoughts. Not the best app around but we'll see.

Had 美人锅 on Saturday with ex colleagues. Steamboat soup full of collagen. Unfortunately, basic account doesn't allow me to upload photos. One of the most interesting steamboat meals I had. Tasted good too so no complaints ( Read more... )

The last time I was in Bangkok before this year's trip was back in... 1999. Before the Millennium. Years before I turned 20. Before the existence of the BTS skytrains. Before I even owned a digital camera. 12 Years. There. So, as much as I'd like to do a before/ after photos post, I can't.  I don't even know where I keep my hardcopy photographs ( Read more... )

I decided yesterday afternoon that I must have the briyani at Tanjong Pagar Railway station before it shuts this weekend. Joined the colleagues to go on an 'unofficial' guided tour of the station only to find out that the stall closed and moved to Tanjong Pagar market! I ended up eating virtually nothing, only a portion of goreng pisang which ( Read more... )

This is the Hualien portion of my Taiwan trip which I'd like to put in a separate post.

We took the afternoon train from Taipei to Hualien which took about 2 hours and a little more.We could have departed in the morning if not for our reservation with 海灣32號 (Hai Wan Haiwan 32) in which checking-in time was 3pm. So, we arrived at Hualien pretty late ( Read more... )

After we got our tickets, I decided I want to make the best of this trip; do some sight-seeing, checking out nice places, and eat all the food I can. God knows how ( Read more... )

The colleagues and I decided to explore a new place for lunch and promptly popped into 疯狂世界 Crazy World Cafe. I have been very curious about this place since I first saw the space being renovated while walking to the MRT station from work. They've been open for a couple of months since late last year. When colleagues were asking where can we check ( Read more... )

The last time I was in HK was more than 7 years ago when I went on a whim after a "great offer" from aunt to subsidise part of my $550 SIA airfare and her deluxe room at Grand Hyatt. How to not resist? I have been wanting to go back to HK since that fateful trip which marked my first ever solo trip out of Singapore and instigated the wanderlust in ( Read more... )
