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

Sri Petaling, the place where I spend most of my lunch time in, has recently evolved to be an emerging food haven, especially with the new establishments along the new shop houses next to The Store. The new restaurants kept popping up like mushrooms, so much so that it's hard to catch up even though [...]

Chef Ricky Thein and I, we go back a long way. He used to be the Chinese Chef at Tai Zi Heen, where I had the opportunity to sample their Chinese New Year sets here and here.

Sometimes during the weekend, all Saucer and I want is a place to sit comfortably, have some snacks and more importantly, a good cup of coffee. We have been to several places that serve good coffee in a comfortable ambience so far, but none with really delicious snacks. Last week though, we were int [...]

Very often, a model would be asked to parade with various types of gowns such as can-can, mermaid, A-line or even flowy chiffon gowns. Personally, I love wearing wedding gowns (whic [...]

It was after work, circa 6pm that day that I reached home. And Saucer was playing his PS3, engrossed, if I might say so, apparently at the last stage of his game. When he saw me, he just nonchalantly said "Hi" with a smile, while continuing with his game. It was my birthday, I frowned. Fine, so I sa [...]

I'm so near to hitting the big 3-0 but often times, many people, especially strangers, still think that I'm in my early twenties. Of course I'm not complaining but I do wonder, how long will it last? One will not look young forever, so before the clock gets the best of me and my skin, I thought it w [...]

Whenever I mentioned to friends that I went to Manila, one of the most asked questions was "Did you try balut?" and my answer was a disappointing "No". It's not because I did not dare to do it, mind you, but our schedule was really packed that I only had the final day to look for balut, to no avail. [...]
