Eat! Eat! Eat! Let us continue our ‘makan’ journey, now, in Hong Kong. Famously known as the shopping haven in Asia, my tour there was all about shopping and eating. Let me share some tips with you guys on my food journey of the day there. BREAKFAST Dumpling + "Si Mut" Milk Tea + "Teng Zhai" Porridge A huge dumpling... Yummy! Having our breakfast in a famous breakfast franchise in Hong Kong. TEA TIME The original french toast... Having Milk Tea - Hot & Cold Never forget to taste the original french toast and milk tea in any of the coffee shops in Hong Kong. LUNCH Roast meat for lunch! Stop by for awhile... [more]
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]
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]
This round, let us venture around Jogjakarta for some local delicacies to excite our taste buds! 1. Gudeg Yogya This is a dish where the locals eat as staple food. Gudeg Yogya is similarly as famous as Nasi Kandar to Penang. To be exact, it’s a plate of white rice, served with some specially cooked young nangka (jackfruit) slices in herbs & coconut milk, some stew chicken meat and eggs. Some even add-on some beancurds and vegetable to do some extra bits for their customers. 2. Nasi Langgi Here’s another rice dish. Served on banana leaf (to enhance the aroma), with some fried beef (locally known as ‘empal’), preserved beef... [more]
It’s tea time!!! Let me get myself a cup of really hot chocolate on this rainy day… before I share with you guys & gals the ‘makan’ place in Ho Chi Minh City… I still remember the first day I stepped onto the land of Ho Chi Minh, I was already hunting for dining places there. Simply because I’m a dedicated food lover and I crave for them every minute… I like to be adventurous, trying out new things whenever I can. Eating the same thing over and over again everyday is like – BORING! Moreover, I was in a new environment, so I did not waste the opportunity to hunt for something new and refreshing! 1) Deep Fried... [more]
