I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
Per my last post, we just returned from Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda, an all-inclusive beach resort in the Dominican Republic. I thought I would share what I packed for this trip. I only focused on outfit ideas here. If you want a more comprehensive packing list, check out my Bowsing Nom Nom’s Ultimate Travel… Continue reading What to Pack on a 1-Week Beach Resort Vacation
We just spent a week at Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda in the Dominican Republic and some of you have asked for a full review so here it is! Airport Transfer Michès is actually 1.5 hours away from the Punta Cana Airport (PUJ) so we had pre-booked the transportation with the resort with a cost… Continue reading Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda All-Inclusive Review
This morning, we had plans with the baby’s great grandfather for brunch at KKIA Sup Ikan. It had both indoor and outdoor seating. It was a hot day we sat in the indoor air conditioned room. Outside, there were multiple food stalls apparently owned and operated independently of this restaurant. They even had a takoyaki… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 31: Kota Kinabalu
This morning's cafe of choice is October. We've been to another branch earlier this trip after our Vietnamese lunch. Loving the rustic decor of the place. We ordered our usual coffee choices and also a Korean street toast and bulgogi wrap. I was really impressed with the food here. It's so tasty and reminds me… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 30: Kota Kinabalu
This morning, I was excited because we're heading out for some soto! I saw a very delicious-looking bowl of soto on one of Aaron's cousin's social media posts, and she promised to take here. The restaurant was called Restoran Sri Rezeki in Inamam. Apparently this area had a lot of great restaurants. It was a… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 29: Kota Kinabalu
It's been a very busy week with all the holiday festivities so we were looking forward to a relaxing, chill day today. We started the morning with some coffee and breakfast at Flow Coffee. It was a lot busier today but we managed to find a table in their outdoor seating area. There weren’t many… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 28: Kota Kinabalu
Happy Lunar New Year! Today's the day. The biggest celebration in many parts of Asia. It's the day you wear nice, new, traditionally red, clothes, where the young, single people get to collect lucky money and of course where everyone get to enjoy a nice feast. We started off the day with a quick breakfast… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 27: Kota Kinabalu
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. As usual, we're on the hunt for a specialty cafe to visit. Unfortunately, being from Canada, where Lunar New Year isn't really celebrated, we didn't realize a lot of stores close here today for the holidays. We tried going to Tree Monk but they were closed. Then we went… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 26: Kota Kinabalu
Good morning, Kundasang! Our time here is short and after a breakfast of mee goreng from the restaurant (unremarkable) and fried mee hoon by our auntie (comforting and simple breakfast), it was time to check out. It was one of our travel companion's birthday, so we head to share a cake (plus a few cake… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 25: Kota Kinabalu
We're taking a road trip today to Kundasang, "the New Zealand of Borneo". We were all looking forward to some family time in nature. But first, food. We quickly grabbed a quick bite from the hidden food court of Imago mall before heading off for the day. I had some soto from Soto Satu. Soto… Continue reading Malaysia Trip 2022/2023 Day 24: Kota Kinabalu
