This started off as a blog post about where to go, what to do and all the highlights of Hawkes Bay, a very underrated corner of the North Island, New Zealand. However, it quickly became very apparent that this was far more centric of where to eat and drink. Brave Brewing Co. We stepped off […]

Where to eat and drink in Phuket
We love Thai food and were so excited to arrive in Phuket. We had mentally prepared for the best Thai of our lives, actually in Thailand. We have a great local Thai restaurant in Auckland, so expected this and the rest. We ate as we went and tried the food in Karon, Patong and Phuket […]
Where to eat and drink in Pantai Cenang
During our stay in Langkawi, we really only ate in Pentai Cenang where we were staying.

In saying that, there were a couple of gems we found like the below. Yasmin was our pick of the food choices, with the Roti at Restoran Almaz hard to beat.
Where to eat and drink in Penang
Penang is a foodies dream. And even if your sole purpose for travelling isn’t eating your way around the world, I promise you’ll be won over by the food of George Town.
A respite from the sweat – Cameron Highlands
We used Cameron Highlands as a stop over on our way to Penang, enjoyed the cooler climes, the slower pace of life and change of scenery it offered.

Where to eat and drink in Kuala Lumpur
These are some of the awesome food and drink options we found/were recommended. We also suggest you try some other Malaysia specialties- Char Kway Teow, Marmite Pork and Salted Egg Squid.
Ubud

Where to eat and drink in Seminyak
So we weren’t exactly sticking to a strict budget when we arrived in Seminyak, given it was the start of our South East Asia adventure. It was our turn to splurge, indulge and try the best of the local spots, which we’d heard so much about. The places below didn’t disappoint.
