About

The title says it all. I love food (noms). I love travelling. And I’ve always loved talking about it to whoever would listen to me. So when I realised my friends were asking me about where to go on holiday, how to get around, what to see there, where to eat and stay, as well as where to eat locally and what recipes I’ve tried…I decided to write it all down here. And now I’ve discovered I love blogging about it too!

Here, you will find posts about:
-A range of travel tips, for instance suggestions of where to go for your next holiday.
-Suggestions of things to do at various destinations, for example in London.
-Reviews of tourist attractions, like this one of Leeds Castle in England.
-Restaurant reviews, like this one of Marumo in Perth.
-Reviews of recipes I’ve tried, like this 30 minute Jamie Oliver fish chowder recipe.

If you’d like more information about a specific place, please leave a comment. If I’ve been there, I’ll blog about it. If not, I wouldn’t mind doing a bit of research – it might just mean it gets added to my ever expanding bucket list!

And if you’d like to come with me on my future adventures, you’re welcome to follow me too.

Now for some random facts:
-I have a thing for red shoes! I have at least 10 pairs!
-My preferred dessert flavours – used to be all things chocolate, but over time, I seem to have come to favour citrus and salty caramel.
-Pet peeve – improper usage of their/they’re/there and its/it’s, not to mention people who don’t realise there’s no such thing as its’, arrgghh!!!
-Places I really really really want to go and haven’t – Galapagos, Easter Island, Antarctica, Torres del Paine… see a trend here?
-I have a fear of heights.
-Despite that, I love climbing tall structures wherever I go! I can’t help myself – I keep thinking, “There must be a good view from up there.”
-I work cooped up in a laboratory. This probably explains my need to go out into the world and explore, and also to balance my scientific side with some creative pursuits. Like blogging.
-I was born in Malaysia, spent my formative years in England, back to Malaysia for primary school, moved to Queensland, Australia for high school and Western Australia for university, worked for a couple of years all over the UK, and am now back in sunny Perth, Western Australia. I think this also explains my insatiable desire and need to travel. I start feeling restless if I’m in one place for too long!
-I speak English, Mandarin and 2 other Chinese dialects (reasonably well), Malay (used to speak it well but am now very rusty), a bit of Japanese, and a teeny little bit of German. I’d like to learn French.
-I am a compulsive list-maker.
