Taiwan Trip Day 3 : SOGO, Godiva Specialty Store, Taipei 101 & 鼎泰豐 Din Tai Fung

It was kinda sad that we had to change our Taiwan Trip itinerary due to typhoon. Poor Wifey coz she planned the whole itinerary but when the news of typhoon came, we had to change our plan and just stay indoor to avoid the heavy rain and strong wind. SOGO is one of the famous shopping malls in Taipei and it’s a must go place to shop. They have all the luxury brands here, so make sure you bring along enough cash. I realized that...

Mr.Rich Bakery – buttery rich butter cookies from Hong Kong

The Wifey and I love butter cookies so much that during our previous visit to Hong Kong in 2013, we queued for about 2 hours just to buy the famous butter cookies Jenny Bakery :/ Then we came to know about this famous bakery in Hong Kong selling butter cookies too – Mr.Rich Bakery. Similar to Jenny Bakery, Mr. Rich’s butter cookies come in very nice packaging 🙂 The pretty cookie packaging is perfect as gifts for relatives...

Taiwan Trip Day 2: 天天利, 臺北地下街, 李儀餅店 & 士林夜市

Wifey: I wanna have Stewed Pork Rice for breakfast tomorrow. Me: Huh! Rice? Isn’t that too heavy for breakfast? Wifey: The weather forecast says it’ll rain for the next 2 days and rice is carbs, so it’ll keep me warm. Me: *gulps* Uh, ok And so, the next day, we started our day with breakfast at 天天利美食坊 Tian Tian Li, a restaurant in Ximending (西門町) famous for Stewed Pork Rice Fried, Radish Cake and Oyster Omelette....

Eating Around Ximending (西門町) – What to eat in Ximending?

Ximending (西門町) is known as the “Harajaku” or “Shibuya” of Taipei (台北). This area is one of the most popular tourist spots in Taipei with endless choices for shopping, food and entertainment. I always prefer to stay around Ximending when visiting Taiwan coz it has everything; from entertainment, food and also shopping. When you’re around Ximending, you basically don’t have to think “what to...

Phuket Weekend Night Market @ Phuket Town

Whenever I travel, I love visiting the markets and hypermarkets coz markets and hypermarkets (Tesco, Big C, Central, Lotus) are the best places to get a glimpse of the local culture. After our scrumptious dinner at Raya Thai Cuisine, we head over to Phuket Night Market in a Phuket Town. Sadly, we were too full after dinner or else we could have tried and pack some food at the night market. Phuket Night Market is divided into two...

3D2N Phuket Itinerary – Warm, relaxing & fun holiday in Phuket

The Wifey and I share the same deep passion for traveling and make it a point to travel overseas at least once a year. Last year we celebrated our wedding anniversary by taking a trip to Hong Kong. To commemorate our second wedding anniversary this year, we made a trip to Phuket. It was a short but a very memorable trip, one that allowed us time to recharge, reignite our love for each other. Phuket, formerly known as Thalang is...

Tsui Wah Restaurant (翠華餐廳) @ Hong Kong International Airport 香港國際機場

Hong Kong International Airport is incredibly spacious and clean with a great variety of eateries and shops for last minute shopping. If you wanna grab some wife cakes as souvenirs for relatives and friends, there’s...
