I also tried their chicken noodle, which was good and lighter version compared to their beef soup. Nasi lemak with squid curry Chicken noodle soup After, breakfast we… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 7: Kota Kinabalu

Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 6: Kota Kinabalu

Another morning in KK, another breakfast at Latest Recipe. Today I tried their roti canai. Unfortunately the roti was not freshly made and looked like the packaged ones we can get in Canada, so it was on the dry side. I also tried some of their western breakfast items with chicken sausage (most hotels and… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 6: Kota Kinabalu

Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 4: Kota Kinabalu

Good morning KK! This morning, I woke up to the sounds of prayers at around 5am. I don’t remember this in my past trips. Perhaps it’s because we’re closer to the city centre this time. For breakfast, we conveniently headed downstairs to Latest Recipe, the all day buffet restaurant here. They had a large selection of food including western food (eggs, bread, pastries, sausages and beans etc), traditional Malaysian breakfast (nasi lemak), Indian food (roti with curry), and a noodle bar (with various soups - vegetable, chicken, beef, tom yum). I had to start with some nasi lemak (their traditional breakfast) as my first meal here in Malaysia.

Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 3: Incheon – Kota Kinabalu

Good morning, Incheon! We are finally on our final leg of this trip - to Kota Kinabalu! I can’t believe it’s been 3 days since we left Ottawa and we’re still “in transit”. We had breakfast at the hotel restaurant. They were very strict with covid practices here and it was mandatory that everyone wear… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 3: Incheon – Kota Kinabalu

Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 1 (Ottawa – Vancouver): Domestic Air Canada Signature/Business Class Review

Our journey began at YOW (Ottawa International Airport). Our flight was at 5:15pm (delayed to 5:50pm) and we arrive at the airport around 3:30pm. We’ve done the same flight before but in Economy Class 1 month ago so this felt familiar and less daunting but this will only be flight 1 out of 3 to… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 1 (Ottawa – Vancouver): Domestic Air Canada Signature/Business Class Review

Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 4 (Kingston)

Four days flew by and it’s already our last day at the cottage. We had a 4pm check-out time so we weren’t in too much of a rush. So we had the time to enjoy some food, to finish some packing, to clean up the Airbnb and even to allow the baby to take one… Continue reading Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 4 (Kingston)

Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 3 (Wolfe-Island)

It was another relaxing morning. I naturally woke up at 6:30 am and noticed it was sunrise time. I walked out to the sunroom attached to the bedroom and there it was! I don’t remember the last time I was able to see the sunrise. I have been up at this hour (or earlier) but… Continue reading Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 3 (Wolfe-Island)

Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 2 (Wolfe Island-Gananoque)

We had a relaxing, lazy morning at the cottage as the weather continues to be wet. We had lovely American breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausages, bagels, croissants and fruits. After breakfast, we were debating whether to book a cruise to Thousand Islands later in the afternoon as previously planned, since there is a risk of… Continue reading Thousand Islands Cottage Trip: Day 2 (Wolfe Island-Gananoque)
