Welcome to "Eat like a local in Saigon". This is my fifth trip in a year to the vibrant Ho Chi Minh City, where every street corner offers a feast of flavours. As you step into this bustling metropolis, you're not just embarking on a culinary adventure—you're diving into a rich tapestry of tastes, traditions, and tantalising street food. You'll be pleased to know that Saigon was awarded 4th place in TimeOut’s Best...
Welcome to my article on 'Hoi An or Da Nang?'. These two travel destinations are among the most popular in Vietnam with each offering a unique experience. Located just about an hour from each other, many visitors planning a trip here inevitably face the question of whether they should stay a longer time at Hoi An or Da Nang. You will find my answer at the end of this travelogue and I hope my insights and pictures will facilitate a better understanding of these two...
A short 4D3N shopping and eating trip to our favourite city - Bangkok, trip post-Covid-19. As the trip was essentially a "mommy and girls' shopping trip, my personal plan was to do a solo exploration of some famed eateries around Bangkok. But the summer oppressive heat and humidity (33°C but feels like 44°C) melted my plan, resulting in much-reduced activities. Likewise, our accommodation in the heart of Pratunam meant that most of our Grab bookings were canceled...

Dear friends, many of you should have heard of blue or golden hour photography. I like to touch on the blue hour, which arrives shortly after sunset when the sun's position is just below the horizon and produces those cooler tones. But it doesn't span an hour, it lasts only about 20-30min. In Singapore, our sunset is around 6.50 pm, so the blue hour lasts about 7 pm - 7.30 pm. In this article, like to share some pictures shot during the blue hour at Marina Bay....

Kanchanaburi offers something for everyone and in my honest opinion, is certainly one of Thailand's most underrated destinations. Blessed with natural and historical attractions, this laid-back town features many sightseeing opportunities that would please nature lovers and history buffs alike. World War II memories dominate a large portion of the town, with a number of museums and war memorials dedicated to the many lives lost during the Japanese occupation, while nature parks and its...Kanchanaburi, one of Thailand’s most underrated destinations
