To get to Chinatown (Yaowarat) Bangkok, the fastest way is via the boat ride, since it avoids traffic and it's cheap. First, we took the BTS to Saphan Taksin, and once we're out from the station we followed the crowd and saw Sathorn Pier barely 3 minutes away. At the pier though, it could be confusi

I have officially stayed in KL for 2 whole years and one thing has never changed - my love for Chilli Pan Mee.

The last time I had fun in the water at Sunway Lagoon must have been more than 10 years ago, when the theme park was new and incomplete. Last week, I was lucky to be invited to the launch of Coway Spa Water Softener that took place in Sunway Lagoon itself. Coway, the leading home-wellness applianc [...]

10 years ago, when I had my first mobile phone, my mother got me a Hotlink prepaid SIM Card. Back then, calling was extremely expensive, at 60 cents per minute. Since the top-up value was RM30 per month, I only had about RM1 worth of talk time per day, which was just a little over a minute! Don’t [...]

Visiting Bangkok or any part of Thailand wouldn't be complete without watching some Thai boxing or going to the famous temples. Frankly, I'm not a fan of boxing but to be able to watch it live in front of my very eyes is an experience that I would like to have at least once! Thai boxing is aplenty i [...]

Whenever I talked to my friends about the food in Seoul Korea, they’d think that I flew to Korea when, in fact, I meant the nice cosy restaurant located in Taman Desa, KL.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of supper. I usually try to avoid eating past 10pm at night since the metabolism rate is slowest after that and whatever that goes into the body will stay in, if you know what I mean. :) Still, during the occasional event or two, the glutton in me says otherwise, and I wo [...]

"Kopitiam", a term coined by Malaysians to signify a local coffee shop, is the rage right now. Almost every corner of every street in KL, there’s bound to be a Kopitiam or two, mainly serving toasts, coffee, eggs and snacks especially for tea time. So when I came across Surisit Thai Kopitiam, I wa [...]
