I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
Photo of the day: Sinh To Round 2 @ Five Boy Number One. Photo credit: Aaron. We decided it's time for more smoothies, so we took a nice stroll to the Five Boy Number One stall again. On our way there we encountered a weekend market full of merchandise, food and music. Once at the… Continue reading Asia Day 8: HCMC
Photo of the day: Bun Moc @ Bun Moc Thanh Mai When we woke up this morning, we realized that the aches we were feeling were not entirely related to the workout we have been doing. We both started feeling chills/feverish, along with headaches/dizziness. We decided to take it easy today and did not plan… Continue reading Asia Day 7: HCMC
Photo of the day: Avocado + coconut smoothie @ Five Boy Number One. Photo credit: Aaron. Moving day! First, I joined Aaron on one of his quick morning workouts because I haven't really had a workout routine since the beginning of this trip. Because we knew things would be hectic in the morning packing and getting… Continue reading Asia Day 6: HCMC
Photo of the day: Banh Xeo @ Banh Xeo 46A I started my day early at 6am, doing some blogging. Then I received a phone call from my cousin asking if I wanted breakfast. We quickly got ready and threw some laundry into the machine. We then headed over to my cousin's and enjoyed some… Continue reading Asia Day 5: HCMC
I guess I still have jet lag because I woke up at 2am last night was unable to sleep again. After a couple of hours, I decided to take the opportunity to catch up on YouTube and watched some videos on Vietnamese basics. After Aaron got up, it was time to get the day started!… Continue reading Asia Day 4: HCMC
After a restless night of thinking there was an intruder in the house, only to find out it was just Aaron using the bathroom, I slowly got up. Aaron found a good smoothies stall on Foursquare, so we decided to have that for breakfast. Unfortunately, they were not yet open for business when we walked… Continue reading Asia Day 3: HCMC
A great start to the day with some blogging. We then headed down the street restaurant affiliated with the hotel, The Cottage, for our included free "American Breakfast". Our expectations were low with hotel-included breakfasts, especially, since we risk wasting one of our scarce meals in HK eating non-local food. We were pleasantly surprised by… Continue reading Asia Day 2: Hong Kong – Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC)
We had a great start to our day, first by avoiding extreme surcharges on our Uber by waiting merely a few minutes, then bypassing a long line up at the airline's bag drop counter due to our attempt to travel carry-on only. It was a smooth ride to Toronto's airport only to find that the… Continue reading Asia Day 1: Ottawa – Toronto – Hong Kong
Seared Foie Gras, Carbonara Pasta and Pulpo Gallego @ Navarra Restaurant.
Update: This restaurant has permanently closed. To celebrate the legal union of 2 self-proclaimed foodies, we embarked on a gluttonous adventure this weekend. To start things off, Aaron had reservations at Navarra - his favourite restaurant in Ottawa. Apparently, the chef, Rene Rodriguez, won Top Chef Canada Season 4. No big deal. Narvarra is a… Continue reading Top Chef
