[Travel Gallery] More Photos from Sapa, Vietnam

Coming from a tropical country, I'm obsessed with cold weather and fog so I must admit I got a tad too crazy and took photos of everything. 😄

Fog. Mist. Poor Visibility.

























The falls.













Hmong Ladies.






Last one.

[ Travel ] Foodie Report: Luang Prabang, Laos

Image
Since we spent three days and two nights in Luang Prabang, we we’re able to “eat our way” around town. We tried to sample the best that Lao cuisine has to offer without breaking the bank by avoiding high end restaurants and instead opted for backpacker friendly food places. Since most of the restaurants have menu books with photos of dishes and a brief description of what’s in them, we pretty much knew what to expect and what we’re paying for before we sit down. As much as we could, we also tried to eat where the locals go. One of our favorite place is the row of fruit stalls that sells various fruit shakes, baguette sandwiches, and crepes. We would go there everyday and try various combination of fruits and spices and just sit and watch people go by. Thongmoun Aunt  This noodle place is located at the end of a narrow alleyway along the main road in Luang Prabang. They serve a really yummy noodle dish called Kaopeerk with chicken, vegetable...

Kiyomizudera Temple

It's my last day in Kyoto so I wanted to visit Kiyomizudera Temple before the day ends. Thankfully, I was on the right bus and was at Nara train station in  no time. I was starving so I dropped by a supermarket there. I was trying to catch the train that leaves in 5 minutes so I just bought the first bento meal that I could get my hands on. Okay, so I know that it's a no no to eat while walking in Japan. I also know it's considered  rude to eat while on the train. But I was sooooooo hungry like I've never felt so hungry in my life. I sat down on the train and there was an old lady in front of me. It was a toss between me dying of hunger and try and be polite while my stomach growls. Sorry grannie, but it was really hard to be polite at this time. I threw politeness to the wind and started surreptitiously eating each piece of sushi. I guess it was delicious but I can hardly taste it due to embarrassment. The old lady was looking at me nonchalantly but I know she could...

[ Travel ] 一Foodie Report: Vientiane, Laos

Image
My friend said the guidebook mentioned that Lao food taste bland compared to its neighboring countries. Excuse me random writer but we beg to differ! I’ve never eaten so much Lao food in my life and I enjoyed each and every morsel. In fact, I looked forward to each meal and every time we’d sat down to eat you’ll hear us let out a series of OMGs. Sigh, I miss my Lao fried noodles. LUNCH  Fried Sweet Thai Basil (15000LAK) I thought it’s the sweeter version of Thailand’s Chicken with Basil but thankfully I was wrong. It was still too spicy and sooo good. Pat Tha (15000LAK) This was described in the menu as fried noodle Thai style with seafood, pork, beef, and shrimp. Lao Style Noodle Soup (10000LAK) Our new friend Eli whom we met at the train station ordered this one and I remember him saying it was okay. Even though it was a very warm afternoon, my friend couldn’t resist and tried the famous Beer Lao (10,000LAK)  right away. I read somewhere i...
