I get so excited whenever I peruse the pictures of my recent Japan trip. They comprise of lovely scenic views, excellent food and great shopping. The next trip would be Yumura onsen. This place is a bit hard to travel to, as it is not as famed as onsens such as Kinosaki onsens. I reckon… Continue reading Memories of Yumura Onsen & Yummy Tajima Beef
The trip to Hiroshima has been so fun, filled with great sights, food plus endless shopping. We were simply blown away by the sheer abundance of activity. We decided to visit the Miyajima island which was around 40 mins away by a mix of train, walk and ferry. We took the train to Miyajima guchi and… Continue reading Hiroshima’s Part 2- Miyajima
Hiroshima has been a awesome destination . Now it is time for more seafood and hot springs. We are going to Matsue in Shimane Prefecture by train. As the train ride would take at least three and a half hour, we had to grab a quick bite and start travelling. It was a scenic trip from Hiroshima to Matsue.… Continue reading Matsu Seafood Dinner
I have been to Japan several times but I have never been to Hiroshima before. I always thought it just had a grim reminder of the World War and nothing else. My brother suggested I visited Hiroshima, to have a look at the war memorial and even to check out their food culture. I was so… Continue reading Hiroshima’s Travels Part 1
After we left Hakata, we took the train down to Yudaonsen. These route are entirely new to us. As we had already purchased the JR Sanyo Sanin Area Pass that allowed us unlimited travel for 7 days from Hakata to Shin Osaka, we decided to take this Chugoku route instead of exploring Fukuoka due to the natural… Continue reading Yudaonsen sights and food

After much persuasion… Continue reading Japan Trip’s first Stop: Hakata
Couple of weeks ago, I did a transit in Singapore enroute to Japan. My family members asked what I wanted to have for my dinner. Of course, Chilli Crabs and Black Pepper Crabs was my answer. It was great to have friends who love eating as much as I do and they have great recommendations… Continue reading Throwback: Chilli Crabs in Singapore
One of the amazing things in Melbourne is that they have a vibrant vietnamese community and they have great food too. One of my favourite Vietnamese food would be the Bahn Mi (Pork Roll). The Bahn Mi is usually more airy than the french baguette, with a thinner crust. I was first introduced to Nhu Lan by… Continue reading Bahn Mi at Nhu Lan Footscray
The good thing about Melbourne is that they really have a wide range of Malaysian food ranging from the KL’s Hokkien mee with pork lard even to the humble Bak Kut Teh. I really miss Bak Kut Teh (translated to Pork Ribs with Tea). One of my Malaysian friend from Klang told me the story where labourers in the… Continue reading Bak Kut Teh in Melbourne? Sugarbun lah
One of the best cuisines I had truly enjoyed in Korea would be the Korean Barbecues. It includes having deliciously marinated meats or non marinated meats such as pork belly placed on the gas grill, coupled with charcoal to complete the cooking experience. I tried a couple of Korean BBQ in Melbourne but nothing impresses me as much as Mrs… Continue reading Korean BBQ at Mrs Kims’ Grill
