I don’t eat to live, I live to eat.
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 then headed to Suria and its surroundings to do some last minute souvenir shopping and… Continue reading Malaysia II Day 16: KK – HK – Vancouver
Farewell dinner @ Gaya Seafood Restaurant + big fish costing 2000 MYR ~ $650 CAD (we didn’t eat it this time)
@ Krishna souvenir supermarket. Apparently it is open 24 hours.
It was time to say our goodbyes to Bali, but before doing so, we needed to have another mie goreng/nasi goreng breakfast. We learnt during breakfast that everyone here has only a few names to choose from based on their order of birth. Our driver is called Ketut, so we know he was the fourth-born. After… Continue reading Malaysia II Day 15: Bali – KK
Best meal in Bali @ Sarong. Drink: Passionfruit mint bellini. Appetizers: scallop, “whole squid”, and crispy chicken. Entrée: 8 hour braised beef, pork curry, and fish green curry with a side of green beans. Ending with a sampler dessert plate.
