Been super busy and haven't updated the blog for quite some time. We were away for Chinese New Year and I'm still recovering from flu and cough after coming back :( I mentioned that we were going to Genting Highlands for a short family trip right before CNY. It was simply to relax, enjoy the cool air and let my parents have a bit of fun in the casino. What's CNY without a bit of gambling huh?! Haha. Anyway, all these while the food in Genting has always been known for being expensive and taste average (It's a known fact, I think?), if not, awful :P But with the recent opening of the Sky Avenue, I have begun to see it in a new light. A few familiar restaurants can be found there, namely Madam Kwan and Dragon-I, and their prices aren't much different from the other branches or restaurants in the city. There are two in particular that I liked and would highly recommend them to anyone who goes there; the first would be Cafés Richard. Oh by the way, some retails and rest...

Hong Kong is definitely one of my favorite cities - It is not only a shopping paradise for shopaholics (like me), but also a food haven for foodies (also me! Haha). From street food to Michelin-star restaurants, tourists are definitely spoilt for choice. I've been there a few times but never once got tired of the food. My last trip there was like a few years back, so I was really looking forward to our recent one. All the food... Yumzzz... Even thinking bout them makes me drool :P Deng deng deng... Let me present to you my Top 5 MUST EAT whenever I visit HK: 1. ROAST GOOSE What is a Hong Kong trip without a meal of good roast goose? Roast goose is definitely one of the not-to-be missed food when you are in Hong Kong and my favorite place for this is Yung Kee Restaurant. Though Yung Kee lost its one Michelin star in 2011, I still think they sell the best roast goose in HK. Their roast goose is crispy, tender, juicy and gamey! Dip the meat in their sweet plum sauce... Mmmm ~ heave...

September is full of weddings as it is the '8th' month in the Chinese calendar, which is considered an auspicious month for weddings. As for us, we've just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary at Anantara Vacation Club @ Mai Khao Phuket :D When we were there, we also met a couple of Malaysians who were there to attend some weddings too; one on the plane and one staying in the same resort. Usually when we travel, we always like to be on the go, visiting the points of interests/landmarks but this time we thought, let's try somewhere we could just chill, relax and spend some quality time celebrating together with our baby princess.   After hearing some recommendations from friends and browsing through a few options, hubby booked Anantara Vacation Club. I've been to Phuket a couple of times previously. I find it kinda commercialized, mostly catering for the Mat Sallehs (A term often used by Malay speakers as a colloquial expression to refer to white Caucasians). I pe...
