We ate a lot of food in our three days in Singapore. There’s heaps of western food to be eaten, Asian delights and even ice-cream vendors on every other street. But not all food in Singapore was created equal. Oh no. We had some hits, but we also had some misses, even at famed Michelin […]

Where to eat in Hong Kong
Everywhere you look in Hong Kong there’s food to eat. Due to the cultural heritage of the place and the influence of the British, such vast extremes, from my fave English lunch spot Pret a Manger right through to Cantonese local cuisine…and a lot that lies somewhere in the space between. There’s also a myriad […]
Hong Kong – The New York of Asia
Holy Smokes, we love this place. It doesn’t stop. People everywhere. Noises, smells and all the food. It’s also this crazy juxtaposition between east and west. The hangover from the British empire with shopping malls, high tea and Marks & Spencer and then the tall apartment blocks you’d expect to see, bird markets, street markets […]
A decent list of places to eat on the North Coast
Not our first visit to the North Coast, but another chance to eat all the food, explore the beaches and go back to some of our favourite spots we’ve been to before. This time, we threw in some new places too…otherwise, life would be a little less well-travelled. Bangalow, Byron and Ballina are the three beautiful B’s we like to visit when we visit our magical family here. While here, this is where we ate.
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 […]
Probably won’t go back – Phuket
Before you wonder what the heck kinda travel blog this is and stop reading, don’t. Just because it wouldn’t be on the top of our list for places to go back to, doesn’t mean we didn’t have a good time. Is it our favourite place? No. Were the beaches the best we’ve seen? No. Did […]
Where to eat and drink in Pantai Cenang
During our stay in Langkawi, we really only ate in Pentai Cenang where we were staying. While there are a number of food options, we weren’t overwhelmed by the choice of restaurants available to us, with lots of options over-priced and not so inviting. 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.
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.
Where to eat and drink on Gili Air
Where we were staying was handy to the strip of bars and restaurants on the right side of the island. I would recommend a similar location, giving you all the choices for lunch, dinner and drinks. But one of the things we loved most about the island, was the simple and delicious food options you could get right on the beach, or from a cart on the side of the road. A hawker on the beach offering mango and pineapple was an incredible experience, while the corn on the cob rivalled that offered only on Gili T.
