My friends and I didn’t choose to ride a garishly green and purple Jucy camper-van (reminiscent of Scooby Do’s Mystery Machine) to turn heads, in fact, these vans do scream “BACKPACKER’S-BELONGINGS-INSIDE!” and did result in ALL of our possessions being … Continue reading
Plans, itineraries, pre-booked accommodation- they’re all for holiday-makers. spontaneity is what sets backpackers apart from other travellers. However, when you’ve booked return flights which are bleakly approaching and you still have two whole countries to devour in no time, decisions … Continue reading
The weather in London last Sunday can be described as nothing but disgusting. Soggy, abysmal, gloomy and damn right depressing. Not the best way for the Chinese to bring in their New Year (of the snake). Regardless, China Town was … Continue reading
Chiang Mai: a transition from beach-bumming, an escape from the oppressive humidity, a place to enjoy a sudden decline of high-school flashpackers and where street meals over 20THB are a thing of the past. The jittery 20 hour sleeper train … Continue reading
In the Spirit of Halloween I’ve decided to conjure up all the deadly delicacies I consumed around South-East Asia. I vowed to myself to try EVERYTHING, no matter the colour, texture or life-form, however revolting or repulsive it may be. … Continue reading
If you (like my Mother) purchased a monster of a Turkey this Christmas and cannot push another fork-full of Bubble and Squeak passed your lips and into your christmas-crammed stomachs, then here is a new way to use up those … Continue reading
I wasn’t sure whether to talk about my Christmas morning breakfast as a post, as it has nothing to do with where I’ve travelled. But to hell with it, I thought, it’s still food!! On christmas morning I decided to … Continue reading
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner can carry about 250 passengers. This blog was viewed about 1,800 times in 2012. If it were a Dreamliner, … Continue reading
On Monday, I had the day off…to go Christmas shopping!! It’s actually a new thing which is even called ‘Christmas Shopping Day’, I was told last week. So, with my mouth still open in shock on this glorious day, I … Continue reading
Koh Samui wasn’t my cup of green tea. Areas such as Chawang and Lamai are heaving with neon lit back-allies where you’ll be greeted by a swarm of ladyboys attempting to pull you into bars that attract male westerners, sharing … Continue reading
BIG thanks to Natural Euphoria for nominating me for a Liebster Award, it really does mean the whole (small) world to me! I can’t even believe that people are taking the time to read my blog, let alone give me … Continue reading
Before I reached Koh Phangan I approached the thought of The Full Moon Party (FMP) with strong ambivalence. The FMP is affiliated with horror stories of drug over-dosing, rape and even death which had left me wondering whether I should … Continue reading
Do not trust these seemingly innocent baked goods. Mini items are deceptive. Because they're so small, they hardly count as food. So you pop one of babies into your mouth each time you walk by and before you know it, you've eaten ten. True story. It happened to me and it may happen to you.
Scones are not too different in composition from the American biscuit, though they're usually eaten differently.
Before my trip to New Zealand, I had never, ever, tried a savoury muffin before. Savoury scones and muffins are a signature standard item in most Kiwi coffee houses. I don’t know why, but these savoury sponge delights do not … Continue reading
