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.

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]

Visiting a foreign country where the exchange rate is so much more superior to our Ringgit can really burn a hole in our wallet. I used to travel online when there’s not enough budget to do the real thing until one day, I discovered that I can visit certain wonderful attractions for FREE! Being a Chinese, I was quite skeptical initially as there’s a Cantonese saying that goes something like this “Cheap things, not good; Good things, not cheap”. I was apprehensive when I heard about these ‘free’ attractions. Are these so-called attractions worth visiting? Are they free because they want to force you to buy something while you’re there?... [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]
