For our four-day stay, we chose to book a room at the budget-friendly, two-star hotel for the first three nights to keep our accommodation costs low. However, we still wanted to experience the extravagance of staying at one of the hotels on the Cotai Strip, so we reserved a night at W Macau, one of

Omurice is a Japanese dish consisting of omelette made with fried rice and thin runny scrambled eggs. I’ve seen how this masterpiece is done on TikTok clips and Netflix documentaries and it requires precision when cooking. It is wobbly when placed over rice and creamy and fluffy when flapped open.

The Singapore Sling is a gin-based cocktail developed by Ngiam Tong Boon, a barista at Long Bar in Raffles Hotel. By that time, it was socially unacceptable for women to drink alcohol in

One of the most recommended place to see in New South Wales is the Blue Mountains, a good glimpse of the state’s highlands. When you arrived at Katoomba, a suburb of Blue Mountains, you’ll see iconic landmarks and rock formations such as the Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls, Mount Solitary, Jamison Valley, Megalong Valley, Pool of

Sardines was introduced to me as a canned fish either in tomato sauce or olive oil. When we hear of sardines, we initially think of the ones in cans instead of the fresh ones because it’s a fish that we don’t usually buy from the wet market and cook it at home. It’s a fish

For our Sydney tour last week, we decided to add SEA LIFE Aquarium Sydney and Sydney Tower Eye on our itinerary since it would be my boyfriend’s first time to visit a public aquarium and it would be an amazing experience to see Sydney Central Business District at a bird’s eye view. As I was
