Read MoreCalifornia: live it up, love it mad, dream it big
Prologue I have a dream. I have many, in fact, but only one dream has always been with me since I can remember: the almost physical yearning for travel. It is in my earliest memories of watching the trains from my window as a kid, furiously waving to those fast-disappearing pink dots of faces in the hope of getting a wave back, of feeling part of that dashing rushing sense of movement. Fast-forward to...

Read MorePhnom Penh Markets & Shopping – Cambodia travel #2
Here we are for more Phnom Penh travel tips from my long weekend there (and from lots and lots of research before that). Head to “Phnom Penh Travel Tips- Part 1″ to read about nightlife and the famous Foreign Correspondent Club, my recommended accommodation and how tuk tuks work.

Read MorePhnom Penh Weekend Travel Tips* – Part 1
The appeal of Cambodia as an international tourism destination started with…a pair of boobs, shorts and a gun. The popular character of sexy explorer Lara Croft in Tomb Raider projected Angkor Wat, an archaeological site previously known to a handful of history lovers, into worldwide fame. Backpackers first, mid-range and luxury tourist afterwards, all are making their way to the magnificent Angkor in the...

Read MoreThings to do in Singapore: a Peranakan food cooking class at Cookery Magic
Although I don’t feel like doing Singapore restaurants reviews and narrating everyone of my hawker centre meals (there are waaaay too many excellent blogs and terrible blogs devoted to that), lately I am feeling more and more inspired to write about a few selected topics from my stay here in the Lion City – with the idea of highlighting genuine “not under the radar” places...

Read MoreBurgers at “La Maison Mere” – London food trends in Paris
Finally getting around to write more about my short Paris holiday just whilst I am returning from a trip to L.A. and sunny SoCal for another one. I know I am really lucky and this is why I feel somehow uncomfortable about writing what is substantially a bad review – the fear of coming across like a spoilt food snob is there, but I really mean to help people like me to spend their time when travelling and...

Read MoreEating in Paris – Taishoken ramen (+ bonus: a ramen glossary)
I recently spent a few days in Paris, under the pretext of going to a rock concert with my brother who lives in the Ville Lumiere and refreshing my fleeting French knowledge. Reality is, I ate my weight in food, went to more food markets and boulangeries than I can remember and generally pigged out. It really is true that “food is the new music“. As Paris is such a cliche tourist destination,...

Read MoreHoxton Street Market – street food and old shops in East London
London seems to have gone crazy about street markets, and this is no news. If Borough market is now seen as “passe’” by the food blogging crowds who consider it a thing for tourists, other spaces are emerging to fame and hopefully commercial success- cue Brixton Market and Brockley Market in the South, Broadway Market and Chatsworth Road market in the East. But had you heard of Hoxton Street Market...

Read More‘Underground’ Coconut Grilled Chicken in Kota Bharu, Malaysia
[Edited June 18, 2013 - yesterday I had sad, sad news about the chefs of the grilled chicken in Kota Bharu. One of the owners of Restoran Kampung Kulim, the guy with a moustache that you see chopping the chicken in the pictures below, has died. Apparently, he collapsed whilst working in the kitchen and passed away quickly and painlessly. He died doing what he loved and was good at, and surrounded by...
