I went for lunch with Nurul at a very popular Malay Restaurant called; Hj. Maimunah Restaurant & Catering in Jalan Pisang close to infamous Arab Street in Singapore. I am so happy that she introduced me to some exciting new dishes I have never tried before!
Have you tried any of the dishes in this video?
Let me know what I should try next :)
PLEASE NOTE: I know the intro and outro was not the best for this video, but I learn from every video I create and it will be better in the next :)

If you're an expat - how long has it been since you've been home?

The past few weeks have not been easy on any of us. No matter what your race, culture, country etc.. we are all affected by COVID-19.
I miss my family, I miss our dogs, I miss laughing and spending time outside.
We are all in this together. Please do your part so that we can get back to our normal routines and see our families again.
Stay safe... stay strong.

I recently stayed at The Prestige Hotel in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia and I was in awe of the hotels design. It is the perfect balance of old meet new.
I decided to practice my solo picture taking skills and take you around the hotel to show you the true beauty of it.

I decided to try out 5 different asian drinks that have caught my attention in store. I will try each of them separately and then pour a little bit of each into my wine glass to create my own weird asian drink.
I just wanted to have fun with this video as I am always on the look out for weird and exciting new drinks and food to try.
Let me know what is the weirdest food or drink that you have ever tried and if there is something you would like to see me try.
Enjoy!
Be good, do good and keep on SMILING!

This week I went to hike the Southern Ridges in Singapore.
It is a walk that you can do from Mount Faber (Harbourfront MRT) up to Kent Ridge Park. It is about a 10km walk and it is said that it takes about 3-5 hours to complete it depending on your pace.
You will see:
Henderson Waves
Forest Walk
Hort Park
Canopy Walk
I started my walk at 7am in the morning at the cable car office in Mount Faber and walked up to the Canopy Walk at Kent Ridge. You can go even further than I did up to the pond in Kent Ridge Park but I got hungry and it was midday and VERY hot by that time for me.
I definitely recommend this to you when you’re in Singapore :)
