I just can’t stop talking about food! Hahaha! Manila is indeed a great place for ‘makan’! You can simply find some influences of its previous colonizer, the Spanish, in its dishes. Seafood and rice You can easily find fresh seafood here in Manila. We had a big piece of grilled fish steak and ‘la-la’ (clam) soup served with white rice on banana leaves. It gave me a homely feel when having food served on banana leaves. If I’m not mistaken, you can find this restaurant along Abel Nosce Street in Las Pinas City. Sweet & Spicy Crabs Butter prawns with garlic Here are two other seafood dishes we had previously... [more]

While people like to stand amazed looking at human-build structures where they call them wonders of the world, I find it a tad boring. No offense here, I’ve paid enough tribute posing like a silly tourist with numerous marked landmarks of the world in the background to justify that I have high respect for these man-made architectures. However, to see the world, to me, is to experience the beating pulse of life which holds its irresistible magnetic power that draws me close, to ignite my pores of senses, to arouse the tinkling feelings of excitement, of wonder, that we are creatures of life. In Australia’s Southern hemisphere, Queen Victoria... [more]

Going to Boracay in January is always different. This is because the Ati-Atihan Festival which is celebrated annually in Kalibo will go on from early January until the third weekend of the same month. It’s a colourful celebration where dancers and performers in striking colours and costumes marching along the road of Kalibo. Basically, Kalibo is where the jetty to sail off to Boracay is. So, never miss a chance to drop by Kalibo when you’re enjoying your romantic sandy beach in Boracay. Dancers in yellow… This is interesting! Batman?! Look at the crowd! “Am I too loud?!” Do not throw rubbish... [more]

A tropical island like Koh Samui has been well-prepared to welcome the hoards of sun, beach, and fun worshippers for a great and wonderful time. Whether you prefer the lively beach scene with rockin’ nightlife or a peaceful getaway without noise pollution from partying holiday goers, Koh Samui has a place for you. As a habit, I often look up reviews of what people have to say about a place. I find it the most honest way to really get to know what a place have to offer. For such a popular vacation choice, there are some tourists who had felt let down or betrayed during their stay in Koh Samui. After reading their ranting, it dawned on me that... [more]

Are we going around the globe or what?! Haha! Now that we’re already hunting in Siem Reap… I’m sure some of us might be wondering what to eat in Siem Reap. Well, there are loads of good local delicacies there. And for sure, tempting enough for me to try. When I always travelling with PYO Travel, I was brought to a local restaurant which serve mouth-watering local dishes and also a presentation of Khmer traditional dance show at the same time. That was quite an interesting (yummy) experience! Haha! 1) Amok This is so much similar to the Malaysian version otak-otak! Nicely steamed and grilled in banana leaves. They use catfish... [more]
