Day 1

I have took the evening flight from KUL to Langkawi since the ferry to Koh Lipe was another day of morning session. Therefore, I still can work at least half day before I headed to KLIA2. The flight I took was Airasia cost around RM125++ not including first row seat price.Once we reached Langkawi, we took grab car to reach our hotel. Grab car cost around Rm13 from Airport to Cenang Street. We checked in our first night hotel at Cenang Beach which was Nadias Hotel Cenang Langkawi. The hotel was 3 star rated and cost RM200++ per night.

Once checked in and settled all the luggage, we went out and hunt for food for our dinner

Cenang street is a peaceful yet calming place as the shops and restaurants are not as much as thailand one, the street is clean and quiet with few tourists like us walking around.

The photo I have taken below looks similar like thailand street, somehow like Krabi one.

But trust me, Krabi street more happening than here.

We decided to settle our dinner at here

Palm View Live Seafood Restaurant

The restaurant was full of customers, that was the reason that I came in too, wondering their dishes and choice selections.

Well, the choices are variety, definitely will let you fall in one of the dish here.

Vegetarian can be custom made too, super convenient.

Let see what I have ordered for my dinner.

Kangkung

Tomyam Soup - their sour and spicy reached my satisfaction. Thumbs up.

Sizzling Beancurd with eggs and mushroom.

The price is not expensive comparing to others tourist places. The food is delicious too and very appetizing, that's the reason why their restaurant always crowded with customers, I think so.

By the way, we bought a lot free duty snacks and biscuits along the street, don't miss out their free duty chocolate !

Day 2

Checking out from Nadias Hotel Cenang Langkawi and booked a grab car to Telaga Terminal. We have bought the ferry ticket via online before we came here.
To buy ferry ticket , visit https://telaga-terminal.com/

Telaga Terminal

While waiting for boarding up to the ferry.

Queuing up for stamping passport and board the ferry.

I didnt take any photos inside the ferry, but you definitely must sleep inside the ferry or else you will get seasick easily, even watching the TV provided also will make me not feeling well.

The journey took around 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach Koh Lipe,

before our feet landed on to the beach of Koh Lipe,

we have to transfer from ferry to a longtail boat to reach the beach.

My exciting face when I saw the blue color water, it called sea.

It is not the travel time for you to start yet even after you have stepped on the beach.

Well, we need to wait for the custom staff to call your name to collect back our passport.

I have wasted almost one hour plus just to collect back my passport.

The passport collecting area.

Thank god that the hotel that we were going to stay did provide luggage carry service from the custom to the hotel, or else I am going to be exhausted, as you know, walking on the beach is quite tiring yet carrying a luggage on the beach will be a double efforts.

The hotel I stayed was Akira Lipe Resort.

Its location is very good, which facing the beach exactly and you can enjoy the seaview from the pool. There are 2 pools inside this hotel. Let me show you by scrolling downwards later.

The second pool which I mentioned from the above,

the pool access from every room.

After settling down, we went out and hunt for foooooood.

Besides having dinner in the resort, the Walking Street is a street that you can find food, groceries, massage service, souvenirs,etc

There were not much crowded during daytine as most of the foreigners have went for snorkeling and diving at the sea during this time.

A must place to stop down and take photo with Aiwa

Their signature oversize mannequin at Koh Lipe.

One of my favourite Thai food - Pad Thai

Feeling new to see this scenario,

I guessed he wan enjoying too.

A must shop places when you come to Thailand, their grocery marts.

I like to shop Thailand marts, especially the beverage area,

lots of choices to choose with.

I bought a hat along the street just because I cannot stand with the hot sun.

My only favourite dessert in Thailand - Banana Pancake.

Calories dont care, eat first and enjoy my life.

After lunch, we called the tuk tuk to send us back to hotel as the distance is quite far from the centre of walking street to the hotel. (The fact is we are super lazy to walk back ). The charges for one way is around 100 baht. ( If I not mistaken)

Back to the hotel, lets discover the pool which is accessible from our room.

Decided to have dinner at On the Rocks Restaurant where it located at the edge of the beach.

Therefore, we took tuk tuk again to reach this place.

Make sure you book for reservation before you come or else you have to come early for nice spot dining table.

We came early for the table and luckily the waiter told us to wait for 20 minutes to get the nice spot table.

During this 20 minutes, I have fully utilize the time on taking photos. haha

No doubt, there are a stair for us to get down from the restaurant to the beach.

The beach is clean,nice yet peaceful and calm,

not much tourist swimming in the sea as it is considered as private beach

under the hotel property.

After spending half an hour at the beach, we get our beach view seat finally.

The food is normal to me, but the view is superb.

Make sure come early to get your preferred table as the restaurant was considered full house after 6pm. Come early to avoid disappointment.

After dinner, we took Tuk Tuk back to the Walking Street to have a stroll after eating so much.

By the way, the Xmas was around the corner, our resort looks so pretty with the Xmas tree,

Day 3

Bought their local snorkeling package and having an all day sea activities.

Before waiting for the person in charge to pick us up, we had our wonderful breakfast with the gorgeous sea view, oh, and Xmas tree too without the lighting.

We bought a private tour, which only US with the tour guide inside the boat.

He sails and he is a tour guide too.

My mind came up with a bad thought that worrying whether he will harm us and throw us into the sea. LOL I was overthinking indeed.

We chose Tour A, which will include the place of :

-Jabang
-Koh Hin Ngam
-Koh Rawi
-Koh Adang
-Koh Yang

Koh Hin Ngam, a place that is full of curse.

They believed that if we take the stone from Koh Hin Ngam, we will get cursed and unfortune in the rest of your life until you return the stone back to the original place.

My advice is, remember to wear shoes when you come here as the stone is receiving heat from the sun and your feet might get scald once you stepped on them.

For others attraction spots, belong to snorkeling activities.

I am ready.

Back to the island at 4pm and we hunt for some light meal.

so end up we ordered mango sticky rice and Tomyam soup.

Look at the mango, so big and it do taste very sweet.

Night time, we had Italian food as our dinner

which is truffle pasta at Capriccio Restaurant

Day 4

Check out and back to KL.
Koh Lipe is a place that is very near to Malaysia and it is a best choice to go if you are craving for thai food while enjoying the sea view at the same time, Koh Lipe is a good choice to aim with.

Seoul Trip Day 5 : Common Underground Container/ Coexmall Starfield Library/ Express Bus Terminal Underground/ Duex Amis

2019-08-15T02:37:00.000+08:00

The last day in Seoul, we decided to for a leisure city day.

So we started from visiting Common Underground Container,

but never expect it was quite far after we exit from the nearest subway.
The reason we choose to reach earliest for this attraction is because common underground container is a place which famous with photo taking with the blue container,
so to avoid waiting for photo taking session for certain background, coming earlier is the best solution to avoid people appearing in your pretty photo.

We walked along this empty street, full with night bars.

These shops were closed at morning and therefore the whole street could be a best instashot place.

But sorry for making this kind of face in this picture, Idk why I fail to bring the feel out hahahah

How to go to Common Underground Container?

Alight at Konkuk Station, Exit 6

It is quite difficult to find the right way to walk to the container,

even we ask the local people, they also can't tell us the correct way,

so the best is, recognize the night bars along the street and you will know you are at the right way.

Don't rely on google maps, it failed to guide me.

After asking few locals, finally there was one of them know the way to container.

Thank god.

But somehow we were wrong,

the container is closed and we can't go into the place as we have to wait for opening hour.

So, we had our early brunch before get back to here again,

We went to a ramen restaurant nearby to have our light brunch,

I had ordered Ramen with Kimchi and Seaweed.

Back to the container after early lunch,

we started our photo taking marathon.

Request others tourists to help both of us take a nice picture at Blue container.

And, the Fila shirts at here have more choices and sizes compared to Myeongdong,

End up I came out with this.

Next, we headed to Starfield Library at Coexmall

The library is considered as an attraction for tourists too.

You will know why after you scroll down to the pictures below.

It is located inside the Starfield Coexmall.

How to reach Coexmall Starfield Library ?

Take subway to Samseong Station and Exit 6.

Just follow the sign to get to the mall and you will see the library.

When I enter into this library, I was like : WOW ! The book rack !

The book rack is magnificent.

A place that has expand's one horizons.

It is definitely worth for a visit.

We have walked around the Starfield mall, the basement is food heaven territory,

but everything selling at here is expensive, most probably is because of this mall is categorized as branded mall, just like Pavilion and Starhill at Kuala Lumpur.

I bought a tart for a try, it cost RM8. WTF

But the yellow part is very soft and smooth to slurp into your mouth,

I can't find this quality of tart in Malaysia ! Delicious.

We went to Express Bus Terminal Underground too,

don't get confused with the bus terminal wording,

it is actually a shopping mall which is located underground,

selling varieties of clothes, like Bukit Bintang at Kuala Lumpur.

I did not buy anything at here as the price is not cheap too,

one piece of blouse selling RM100 and above,

with unpopular brand but honestly, the cloth's quality is good actually.

How to reach Express Bus Terminal Underground?

Subway to Express Bus Terminal station and Exit 8

Spotted a nice background after we came out from the underground shopping

Took it casually and the outcome was nice.

At last stop, we went to have the most expensive dessert in our life.

a piece of strawberry cake cost around RM40, excluding the tea.

But, the cafe is full of people and no doubt, the cake is freaking nice.

Deux Amis

22 Palpan-gil, Palpan-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Go for a try if you are a dessert lover or you wonder what makes it so expensive,

try it and you will know.

Okay, wrapped up my Seoul post and going to update another blog post soon !

Thanks for always reading me.

Seoul Trip Day 4 : Gwangjang Market/ Ewha University/ Dongdaemun Design Plaza/ Nanta Show

2019-07-17T01:14:00.002+08:00

Day 4 is the most memorable day in my life

God gave me the best gift on this day

It was snowing in Seoul

I cant keep smiling towards the sky when I woke up with this surprise.

Never expect walking in the snow is quite a difficult thing to us

It is cold , nope, is super duper cold.

The snow is consider big pour as it covered the ground within few minutes.

That's why we have changed our schedule on that morning to have a indoor walk first.

We went to Gwangjang Market early in the morning as our first schedule of the day

How to get to Gwangjang Market ?

Take Jongno-5(o) ga station subway and take Exit 8.

Walk straight all the way from the exit until you see the market.

I think Gwangjang Market is one of the memorable place to me

There have varieties of food and drinks which attracted me

One of the drink that I favor to was Rice Drink, it taste so nice that you must go for a try when you come to Korea.

Korea is popular with snacks too !

By comparing prices with others places, I think Gwangjang market sells the cheapest one with the same packaging and size,

luckily I never bought it at anywhere except here.

Do ask for free gift when you bought a lot from the stall, the korean seller is so friendly and lovely that they would free you some extra snacks to bring home.

There are almost repeated stalls selling the same food like this in the market,

but of course with different stall name.

We chose a stall and sat down for our brunch.

The price is not really cheap at all, but still can acceptable.

After the snow stop, we continued our next visit to Ewha University

I think Ewha University is famous just because it is a HUGE university.

Their building design is unique too.

Can you imagine the two sides of walls behind are the place of studying?

How to get to Ewha University?

Take Line 2 (Green) to Ewha Womans University and take Exit 2 or 3.

Walk straight for about 10 minutes to reach.

There are a lot of shops and cafes along the road while we were heading to this university.

You can enjoy your shopping as well before you reach, the journey of 10 minutes walk to the destination is short with those shops along.

It doesn't seems like the background is from Asian country

but the fact it is at Seoul.

It is suffering to play the snow with bare hands as I can't feel my hand anymore after that

freezing cold until my hands turn numb

We stopped by at Cafe Pera which is next to Ewha University for our tea session.

No doubt, their mille crepe is awesome nice.

The cafe is packed with locals, having tea sessions with their bunch of friends.

Us too, having our tea time with great crepe.

Late noon, we reached at Dongdaemun Design Plaza

I think this place is famous because of the UFO building design ? Maybe?

I m not sure, but this attraction is nothing much to see except the building curve.

To reach Dongdaemun Design Plaza,

Alight to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station and take Exit 1

There are 3 malls located opposite to the Dongdaemun Design Plaza

the malls are opened until late midnight,

I went into the mall and realizing it is almost similar like the old time of Sungai Wang

Full of shops selling varieties of clothes and the price is not cheap compared to Bangkok Platinum Mall. haha

Peggy bought a snack from the street food outside the 3 malls.

Night time, we went to Myeongdong again as we have booked our Nanta Show !

Seoul is famous with this little strawberry dessert thingy,

The main point is, it taste super nice,

the strawberry is very sweet and it taste so yummy you know.

Must try this !

Myeongdong street is full of this kind of stall, selling this dessert thingy.

We had our porridge as our dinner,

One of their popular food is porridge too.

We stopped by at Migabon Restaurant, which selling varieties flavors of porridge

I am not a porridge favor person,

but their porridge taste delicious and I can finish the bowl of porridge by myself alone.

Seriously , it taste nice, matching with the side dish given, especially KIMCHI.

It is not easy to find the Nanta Show Theatre as there is no signboard showing it,

we have to ask the local person to get to the theatre,

do come early as they dont allow late comers to go in after the show start.

Nanta Show is quite memorable to me as I have been ask to go up to the stage twice

I am so lucky to have a picture with the actors !

Their performance is nice, they perform with their kitchen equipment, following with a story line.

I can't explain much, you have to experience it by yourself

I think front row seat is better although the price is higher. indeed.

Okay,

let's wait for my next post for Day 5.

Seoul Trip Day 3 : Ganchon Rail Bike/ Nami Island/ Petite France

2019-06-10T02:49:00.002+08:00

The third day in Seoul, we have planned to visit outside of the city.

The first place we were heading was Rail Park.

The place is actually quite far from the city, we went out very early that day

just to avoid too crowded to sit for the bike but end up the bike supplies is more than the visitors.

How to reach Ganchon Rail Park?

Take train to Yongsan station and change to line 1, dark blue line to Gapyeong Station , the journey took around 45 minutes to reach. From Gapyeong station, change train to Gimyujeong station and walk around 2 minutes to reach the rail bike park.

I have bought the ITX ticket to Gapyeong station earlier before I fly to Seoul.

The ITX ticket can book through the link as below :

http://www.letskorail.com/ebizbf/EbizBfTicketSearch.do

To avoid queuing up for the rail bike, I also bought the rail bike ticket from Klook website too

But that day was low season as the view is nothing much to see.

I think it is better to come during spring and fall season.

I believes the view will be 10000% nicer than the view I saw.

There was a person in charge at there who speak mandarin well

and she helped us take picture too before we started our rail bike journey.

Okay, as you see, the view is nothing much can see.

No flowers, no orange maple leaves, no green view, nothing at all.

Okay, the river somehow caught my eyeball, as it is the nicest view along the whole journey.

That's why, trust me, don't come during starting winter.

But the rail bike is fun, you have to ride like a bicycle or else the rail bike will not move at all.

I take it as a morning exercise as well. LOL

Besides, I dropped my T-money card when I was riding the rail bike.

The money within the card is quite a lot too as I am kinda kiasu people and don't wish to keep top up the money so I straight away top up RM100 within it and end up it flew away when the rail bike was ongoing, what a big loss to me T.T

After finish our rail bike journey for around almost 30-45 minutes,

we went out of the rail park and looking for some food to have,

Thank god that we found a Chinese restaurant in Korea.

(Super obvious to find it as their sign board is quite big)

But I ordered Korea food at last, not much choices inside the menu.

The whole restaurant were male customers and we were the only female customers.

LOL

After finish our lunch, we headed to the main attraction of the day - Nami Island.

To reach Nami Island, we need to take a ferry at the terminal.

How to reach Nami Island ?

We took the train back to the Gapyeong station and took a cab to reach the jetty.

It is easier to find people to share the car fare with you, the only matter is you need to speak with the strangers and ask for sharing taxi together.

The jetty is super near to the Gapyeong station if you take a car ride,

so the fare is not an issue to anyone at all especially you decided to share the cab fare with others tourists at there.

Remember to buy a ferry ticket at the jetty counter before you boarded.

If you like to take thousands of picture at Nami Island,

you should put this place on priority as it is super crowded at noon.

But Nami Island is worth to come especially during Fall season

I think I will come again for the another season

Winter season has nothing to see with but the trees are magnificent at there as they are huge and tall.

The trees are grown at a super straight line between the walkway, I am impressed.

Nami Island is a huge place where you must carry a map (map provided at Nami) along to avoid you miss out the main attraction places.

Let me spam my pictures through here :

After Nami Island, we continue our schedule as planned to the Petite France,

That time was late afternoon and we afraid Petite France close in 1 hour after we reached,

so we decided to take a cab to Petite France,

If you are not rushing, advice to take their shuttle bus which is in economical way.

The journey from Nami jetty to Petite France took around half an hour to reach,

the cab fare is expensive but we don't wish to miss out the place since we were already around this outskirt area.

Unlike Nami Island, Petite France is a very small place which their buildings are similar with France.

It is somehow same like our France village in Malaysia, LOL

A peaceful yet warming place especially Christmas was coming.

Allow me to spam my photo again :

We took the shuttle bus back to the one of the station and headed back to the city.

It took almost 1 hour to go back to the city area,

maybe I was starving and tiring, it was a super long journey to me.

We stopped by at Dong Dae Mun to serve our appetite.

Randomly walked into a restaurant which is full of people

Their food is the best among all others restaurant I have tried with.

Potato Pancake

Okay, time to sleep

and going to post for Day 4.

Stay with me.

Seoul Trip Day 2 : Gyeongbokgung Palace/ Bukchon Hanok Village/ Insadong /Hongdae

2019-04-28T03:13:00.004+08:00

The second day in Seoul,

we bought a dozen of eggs for our whole week breakfast in Seoul

I bought a small bottle of soy sauce too for seasoning purpose XD

My healthy breakfast at second day.

The first place we were heading was Gyeongbokgung Palace.

That day we was lucky enough that able to reach at good timing which can watch their Korean marching parade.

How to reach Gyeongbokgung Palace?

Get down at Gyeongbokgung Station, Exit 5

or Anguk Station, Exit 3 (Seoul Subway Line 3), then walk a few meters away

We walked outside the palace and looking for a shop to rent for Hanbok

The Hanbok shop we chose was ABC Hanbok Rental

It was the nearest and biggest shop outside the palace

(We don't want to walk so far as we need to return back after few hours)

I remember Hanbok rental for 4 hours was RM80 something including hairdo

They provide free locker for us to store our thing

and they provide free korean bag for us to match with our outfit.

Do come earlier to have more choices to choose with.

Hairdo process.

Luckily I came earlier, the crowd is getting more and more after 12pm

After dressing Hanbok costume, we went back to Gyeongbokgung Palace to take tonnes of pictures.

I look plump with this outfit because I was still wearing thick blouse inside Hanbok

The shop person don't let me take off the thick blouse as she said that day temperature will drop to negative 1 celcius. Okay, I have to wear it to survive in the cold.

While heading to Bukchon Hanok Village.

I open google map apps to reach there since it is near to the palace only.
But I was WRONG !
Google Map is not really accurate and not convenient at all.
We still have to ask the local for the direction.

Before we walked into Bukchon Hanok Village,

Look what we saw !

OH MY GOD, is Isaac Toast !!!!

The one that is famous in Malaysia KLIA 2

I have tried Malaysia version one and felt that the taste is so so only.

So both of us decided to buy and try it again as our lunch.

For vegetarian like me,

I have ordered hashbrown with cheese toast.

By the way, the taste is totally different with Malaysia one.

The bread taste crunchier and the ingredient is quality too.

We have passed by a stall which selling korea bites

and we bought this 2 bites for a try.

Conclusion: is somehow taste like Malaysia Chinese tradition kuih but

Malaysia one taste much better and this one is tooooo oily for us.

Bukchon Hanok Village is a residential area which the local still staying inside the house

The village is popular is because of their building design

Every street is a photo taking opportunity,

allow me to spam a lot of photos while I was wearing Hanbok costume XD

After Bukchon Hanok, we have to go back to the Hanbok shop to return the costume we were wearing. You know, that time was quite nervous as we have lost inside the Hanok Village.

We cant find which is the way to get back to the Palace area.

Luckily we met the tourist guide that standing at certain corners to help tourists which are lost in direction like us. LOL

That's the only reason I didn't take any picture after that as we were busy walking back to the Palace.

After returning the costume, we headed to Insadong.

A place that is full of korean culture, selling korea souvenirs and korea signatures..etc.

How to reach Insadong?

Take to Anguk Station, Exit 6.

Once come out from the exit, cross the road and turn left to Insadong street.

We took our lunch-dinner at Insadong,
There are many restaurants along the street or inside those small lanes of the big street,
we found that every restaurants are selling the same food.
(of course the same, I was at Seoul, not Malaysia..)

So, end up we saw a restaurant that caught our attention,
mentioning "knife cut noodles" in mandarin wordings,
So, we chose this restaurant at last.
But I ordered a bowl of cold noodles. LOL
I still not used to have cold food yet, but the taste is acceptable.

After the meal, we were looking for a cafe named Osulloc Tea House,

My friend told me that it is a must to come here to crave for their green tea stuff.

We found Osulloc Tea House along Insadong street,

crowded with local and tourists, the tables were full and thank god that we found a table.

We ordered Greentea ice-cream to have a try.

The green tea flavor is so heavy that I even told my friend that the green tea is too bitter for me but she replied me that it taste super nice. LOL,

I think matcha lover will love this. Trust me, as she is matcha lover too.

We continued our night hunt at Hongdae street.

How to reach Hongdae?

Train to Hongik Uni. Station and Exit 9.

Compare with Myeongdong, Hongdae is much more happening with local students,

The streets are happening as the students sang and dance along the street to gain Facebook and Instagram followers and at the same time to gain their popularity.

We found a cafe which is full of people,

believing that it must be popular one,

so we follow the trend and enter the cafe to have a tea break.

Cafe Peony - Must try their strawberry cake !

That's our second day at Seoul,

Upcoming post update soon.

Seoul Trip Day 1 : Haneul Park/ N Seoul Tower/ Myeongdong Shopping Street

2019-03-26T16:28:00.000+08:00

This was my first time visit Seoul. I am quite exciting for this trip as I heard there are many things can buy and shop for girls.

I visited on 21st November 2018.

I bought the ticket on March 2018 , when Mas Airline was having 30% promotion.

I bought RM1300 for return flight, including meal and baggage.

The reason I chose Mas was because it was a 7 hours flight.

We need meal and entertainment,

but I was unlucky as the screen TV of my seat cannot be function. :(

So, I sleep for the whole flight journey.

Our flight was midnight flight, so we reached Seoul at another day of 6am.

What to do once you reach Seoul Incheon Airport?

Once we reached the airport, we bought T-money card at any mart there which similar to 7-11 in Malaysia. T money card is like touch and go that you need it to take bus and train.

How to go to the Seoul city from Incheon Airport?

We took Arex train (4500 KW) which stop by every station ( since we still can't check in the homestay in the early morning , we took a cheaper cost train ) from airport to the city,

That day was weekday and we stood for 1 hour inside the train

which from airport to our Airbnb homestay subway station, as the working people squeeze like a sandwich inside the subway.

Where we stay in Seoul?

Our homestay is near to Mapo-gu Station, the price is super affordable, around RM1200 for the 5 nights. For homestay info, I will put along with Seoul Itinerary for coming post.

This homestay I am quite impressed with, as the host provide everything that you never think of.

Like, sanitary pads, make up remover, lotion, and a lots more !

The host provide a lot of skin care and body care items on the three layer rack.

The kitchen is full of equipment too,

electric stove, oven, fridge, frying pan, pot...etc

I really would rate this homestay as my best stay ever so far, she provide everything that we couldn't imagine with. far more than our expectation.

The bathroom is spacious, don't underestimate the shower.

The water is hot enough and the water pressure is big too.

The only thing that trouble you was, you have to hold the shower robe to rinse off when you are taking bath,

or unless your height is shorter than the shower robe position. LOL

We slept for 2 hours before we started our Seoul explore.

( Cant really sleep enough during the 7 hours flight)

The first place that we gonna explore is Haneul Park

How to go to Haneul Park?

Take to World Cup Stadium Station (Seoul Subway Line 6.) Take Exit 1.

From Exit 1, walk towards the parking lot area for 10 minutes. Then, take a shuttle van from the parking lot area (3000 KW) to reach Haneul Park.

We are lucky enough that we still able to see the maple leaves outside the World Cup Stadium Station

I think I am going to plan a trip to Seoul again for autumn season.

The scenery was extremely beautiful and memorable.

We have asked the local on which direction to reach the parking area for Haneul Park,

The local was friendly enough to guide you if they understand English.

lol

This is the shuttle that I mention just now to go up to the Haneul Park.

We need to buy the ticket at the ticket counter and queue up to wait for the shuttle to come.

No doubt, Haneul Park is a must come place if you like natural scenery and photogenic !

But of course, since Haneul Park is located on top of a small hill,

the temperature is lower and cooler.

We both were suffering by the strong and freezing wind tapping on our face.

So, end up I have to wear a mask to avoid my face from freezing and numb.

The view of Haneul Park

The natural.

After Haneul Park, we plan to head to our next exploration- Namsan Seoul Tower,

Before we continued, we had our lundin (lunch-dinner) at 4pm,

nearby Chungmuro Station.

Our first meal in Seoul !

How to go to Namsan Seoul Tower?

Take to Chungmuro Station, Exit 2. From the Exit, ride the Namsan Sunhwan Shuttle Bus No. 2 and drop off at N Seoul Tower. From the drop off point, walk towards the tower.

We spent RM20 of entrance ticket which bought from Klook website to visit the Observatory Desk

Honestly, I think you can save the RM20 if you are not really into city view.

We can see the city view outside the tower also, just the only matter is not as high as observatory desk.

Since we are near to Myeongdong shopping street,

we decided to walk for a while before we back to our stay.

How to go to Myeongdong Shopping Street?

Myeongdong Station, Exit 5, 6, 7, or 8; stop at Euljiro 1 (ij-ga) Station, Exit 5 or 6

Myeongdong is a shopping heaven to girls,

the shops repeated the same brand in the same row,

I guess their competence is high at here.

Along the street, there are many food stalls which selling food just like night market.

You can't find these food in Malaysia. Worth to come.

Since we were too full to have our dinner,

we bought egg-bread at Myeongdong and make it as our light dinner.

Stay tuned for the next day in Seoul.

Vegetarian: Babe Japas Fun Dining

2019-03-20T14:42:00.002+08:00

Its been quite a long time that I never update my food post already.

Forgive me for being busy with my own career for the past few months.

Babe Japas Fun Dining is a fusion of Japan and Western which you will never forget this restaurant after the night, despite the food, their view, their creativity on serving the food,

is unforgettable thou.

From the picture I took, can you see the behind 2 white color stacks ?

It is a towel ! No doubt, they poured the hot water on that 2 white stuffs and the white stuffs expand to become a towel. The first impression, I already gave them a good start of expectation.

The two tubes above the image were soup.

YES, they put the soup into the tube

and they want us to guess the soup was made from what.

I guessed correctly but no present for reward, just kidding.

Next, they served the starter.

Jelly kind of Mochi matching with seaweed and the sushi with aloe vera on top of it,

I am vegetarian and they serve vegetarian like what I have been served to.

So, the sushi with aloe vera is a new thing to me. WOW.

It taste delicious !

The next course is similar to Chawanmushi,

But it taste so yummy and special that I cant describe by words.

The texture is so smooth and softy.

The texture of this is almost similar to aloe vera

but I remember it is not aloe vera,

I forgot what ingredient made this...

The bowl had impressed me,

it is made of ice, the ice bowl.

and yes, the dish is cold one.

The night view from here is extremely awesome

and it is not hot at all as they provide air conditioner even it was outdoor dinning.

You will love it if you like to enjoy your dinner with perfect night view. Trust me.

I love the salty white sauce from this dish,

the sauce is somehow like cheese which taste salty

but perfect match to the ingredients

This is my super favourite dish !

Truffle pasta

It taste so delicious that I am still craving for this.

The dessert is quite simple yet light in taste,

which will not let me feel greasy after having so many courses.

A dessert is the perfect ending out of all the courses,

a good dessert will make you remember the dishes of everything you have eaten.

Stay Tuned for more of my vegetarian fine dining post soon

or Travel post maybe?

I gotta be more active. gosh.

Cebu, Blue Water Sumilon Itinerary 6D5N Part 2

2018-12-01T01:26:00.003+08:00

Continue back to Cebu Part 2,

I am going to write about the EVERYTHING I have experienced in Blue Water Sumilon

By the way, the picture above doesn't look like me at all,

the effect of beauty camera is awesome. LOL

Okay, get back to the topic

I am going to start with the beach view.

The Beach View

My eyes can't get rid of looking at the gorgeous sea view.

The blueness of the sea is the best color I have ever seen in my life so far.
Many people told me that Boracay Beach is beautiful ,
but I went before, Oslob beach is much nicer. Serious.

The Activities

The resort provide different types of activities for the accommodates and the activities will be updated everyday on the board of activities.

There are few activities to do in this island such as :

-Watching Baby Shark Feeding

Swimming in their best view pool

Jacuzzi with the sea breeze.

Snorkeling around the island

Hope on to their provided boat and follow the tour guide, they will bring you to explore the undersea world around the island.

Enjoying the sunset

There are 2 beaches in this island, the behind beach is more to sunset view.
The front beach is more to snorkeling and swimming.

Kayaking with their bottom glass kayak

I can see the fishes and coral clearly through the glass of the kayak as the sea water is super clear and clean at here but this special kayak, the resort only have one.
What I suggest is, book early as fast as you can.

Visit our little friend Whale Shark at Oslob

The tour for this whale shark watching have to paid to in charge organization and remember not to apply sun shield as it harm the creature. This activity is not under Blue Water Sumilon incharge, we have to back to Oslob to join this activity.

The Room

We were like playing room hopping in this island,
we have experiences all types of room at here.
From the basic one to the luxury one.
Of course, the best still fall to The Villa Room.
as my favourite bathtub is provided in Villa Room.

The Food

I am a non meat consumer, but I still can find a lot of choices of food for me to take as my meal during the days I stay at here. The food buffet for breakfast and dinner is included when you book the stay, only lunch is not provided. My best suggestion is, eat more during your breakfast buffet so you can skip your lunch. We had lunch in our room by calling room services, the price is same as you have at their restaurant

Honestly, I am a big fan of breakfast buffet. I am quite happy with it as the taste of the food is nice and above average level.

Before I end,

I may want to say,

protect the nature,

you deserve more with the natural gorgeous view.

Thank you.

Cebu, Blue Water Sumilon Itinerary 6D5N Part 1

2018-10-31T19:23:00.003+08:00

The above picture is not edited and it was taken originally by me,

same as what I saw with my own eyes.

Yes, the sea color is differentiate with 6 tones of blue from darkest to the lightest blue.

I screamed excitedly and I can't taking off my eyes away from this picture, no, is the fantastic view.

Oh wait, before we get to reach here,

I am gonna to tell you,

How to reach Oslob from Cebu City.

Yes, the sea is taken at Oslob, Blue Water Sumilon

Nice Place Pay for a Price, don't you agree ?

Picture Source From: www.scubaandtravel.com

Flight Transfer:

From Malaysia fly to Cebu took 4 hours

Car Transfer:

Cebu Airport to Cebu City took 30 minutes

Cebu City to Oslob took 3 hours 30 minutes

My dear, that's not the final yet,

If you want to enjoy the view as picture I took,

you should stay at Blue Water Sumilon Resort,

A private island where the sea is fabulously blue blue and blue.

Boat Transfer:

Oslob to Blue Water Sumilon Island took 15 minutes

Basically, we cant reach the island on the first day due to the low tide of the sea at the evening.

Thus, the resort managed a hotel for us at Cebu City on the first day when we landed.

( We supposing to stay at the island on the first day and realized we couldn't reach on first day after we have paid)

For the compensation of the first day stay, the resort has include:

Cebu City 5 star Hotel Suite Room

Car Transfer from airport to city hotel

Car Transfer from city hotel to Oslob

Provide Dinner and Breakfast

First Day in Cebu City

Upon reaching Cebu Mactan Airport, we were picked up by their local driver which is arranged by the hotel management as mentioned above.
The arrangement is good as the driver didn't pick up anyone else except us at the airport
(at Boracay, the driver waited the car to be occupied full before start the journey)

30 mins distance to reach the city of Cebu, a city which is not develop yet
The bus, the shops , the road and the facilities at here seems like you were back to 1990's.

We reached the hotel in the evening and we went out for a walk before we had out dinner.
The hotel receptionist reminded us to be extra alert and be careful on your belongings.
Once I stepped out from the hotel, I realized that why she has to remind us.

The place is dirty along the road, the vehicles and motors were busying on the road, making noise and air pollution. The people were looking at you and your attire, feeling uneasy under that circumstances by hugging your belongings close to your chest. They sit on the floor outside the shops laughing and talking loudly, ignoring the passerby that passing in front of them.

Back to the hotel for our dinner and this is how their vegetarian set was.

Appetizer- Potato soup.

Main course- Salad

Dessert- Philippine local pudding.

The taste of the food was average but I was stunned when I realized the salad was my main course of the day. Anyway, the pudding is love.

Second Day in Cebu

The morning breakfast of the hotel inspired me to eat more as I can since after yesterday night incident, I worried my dinner for second day is salad again so I decided to eat full for morning breakfast since their breakfast taste awesome. LOL

It was 6am in the morning and the sky was totally bright.

It was super different with the sky in Malaysia.

Okay, checking out and heading to the beach after my egg-for-life breakfast.

Grab a chance to take a picture before the others get up to the car
Okay, the whole journey took 3 hours and 30 minutes and I was sleeping like a pig
since I woke up at 6am today for the lovely breakfast.

After 2 hours and 30 minutes of journey,
I can see the blue color of nature connecting from the sky to the sea.
For the next 1 hour of journey, the blue sea will be next to you along the road.

We did not stay in Oslob as mentioned above,

we stay on an private island, BLUE WATER SUMILON ISLAND

The driver brought us to the company jetty and we were served like a king.

We were served with welcome drinks and waited in an air-conditioner room with a TV showing the rules and activities on that island. They will called us to open our luggage for checking purpose to make sure we did not bring any food and snack to the island. But in fact, they checked one of our bags and the maggi cups were stored in another luggage which were not checked. Oops.

I was lucky enough.

I cant wait to take picture with the blue even though I am going to a more bluish sea.
The blue color is so nice that is different from dark blue to light blue.

The boat has a schedule time on each day and here we go !

Okay, I think I should stop here and going to post for next post soon.

Stay tuned for my next post about the super blue sea island.

Melbourne 6d5n Road Trip : The Great Ocean Road

2018-08-24T02:26:00.002+08:00

A day before we leave Melbourne, we visited
The Great Ocean Road, the world most scenic coastal drives.

Our city view stay with 2 bedrooms, situated at Docklands.
We stay for 2 nights at here, the city view is amazingly beautiful.
For more information about this stay, check my Melbourne Itinerary

We have bought bread and eggs groceries at supermarket which is 7 minutes walking distance from our stay. The homestay is quite convenient as there are few restaurants and pharmacy below the building.

I have made egg-soak-into-the-bread-with-sugar as our breakfast before we departed to Great Ocean.
I never made this before in my life, I learned it from my mom but I never try to make this.
My mom always made this egg-bread (whatever the name is) for me as my breakfast since I was young, I tried it finally in Melbourne.

Thank god that I didn't fail it, the dish can be finish at last. LOL

Back to the topic, we took 3 hours drive to reach the Great Ocean Road
But you can't miss this place if you visit Melbourne
It is a must visit place in Melbourne. The cool breeze in the air of the Great Ocean Road had waken me up after being slept for 3 hours inside the car.

The first attraction we stopped by was:

Lord Arch Gorge

A favorite stop-off point along the Great Ocean Road, the sheer size of the cliffs and the narrow opening out to the sea amazed everyone.

Walk down a few flights of staircases down to the beach, you will realized that the view of the openings between the cliffs look slightly different in different angles. Interesting.

Continued our journey to the next destination along the Great Ocean Road

The Twelve Apostles

a combination of 12 apostles - limestone pillars stacks off the shore has made the site a famous spot attraction for tourists. There are 8 pillars left instead of 12 even though it is called as 12 apostles. I think I should visit Melbourne earlier before that as the ninth apostles collapsed since year 2005.

It left 8 pillars now, don't miss it before the apostles getting lesser year by year. I think I am still the lucky one that still able to see the remaining 8 apostles, sound sad but grateful with what I saw. It took an hour to walk along the walkway to see the pillars in different angles. Of course, we have used majority of time taking the pictures and take turn waiting for the perfect spot of picture taking. The pictures outcome are the proof, no tanned no gain, we stood under the sun for hours to take the best shot of pictures and yes I got tanned because of this gain, yet it is worth thou.

Walk along the walkway to the end of it and you will see the another side of the amazing view.
There are another 2 pillars on the left side of us. Honestly, this is the most extraordinary nature god-made creation that I ever seen. The most memorable day in my Melbourne trip too.

As the day was late after we have finished the walkway of The 12 Apostles, we decided to head back to Melbourne after taking our lunch.
Yes. Carbonara again, besides Carbonara, it is quite hard to find a dish that is suitable for vegetarian. (The restaurant serves variety type of meat burger and steaks)

3 hours of drive return back to Melbourne, we stopped by at a mall which is near to our stay, bought everything that we want before we departed on the next day. In fact, Korea quality of FILA brand is totally different with Australia quality, yet, the shirts are authentic too. Some people may doubt on the authenticity and the quality, especially when they saw the tag of the shirts which written made in china, in fact, the Fila brand in Australia is authentic. Korea FILA will be super pricey compared to Australia one, but both are authentic, which was clarified by the Australia local.

The last meal and last cook in Melbourne,

I think I have tried my best to cook everything we have bought instead of wasting the ingredients.

The breakfast on the day we checked out and headed to airport.
Australia strawberry is cheap thou.

Okay, I think I am done with my Melbourne Post and if you ask me that Melbourne or New Zealand again, I will still pick New Zealand as my favorite spot to travel since I am a scenery lover rather than a city lover. Stay tuned on my blog for upcoming ~~Bitch post~~, oops, should be Beach post.

Melbourne 6d5n Road Trip : Exploring the Melbourne City

2018-08-10T02:35:00.003+08:00

The day after visiting the wrong season timing of Mount Buller,

we drove back to Melbourne City directly from Mount Buller

I am feeling gratitude to my friend who drove for so many hours for return trip

and never complaint a word at all

It is quite touching but feeling guilty as I just sleep inside the car during the whole journey. lol

The sunset in Melbourne is so pretty.

We checked in to YHA Hostel on the day we came down from Mount Buller

It is quite a last minute put off plane for Mount Buller

But thank god that I have been very familiar to YHA during New Zealand trip,

thats why I never worried about the staying YHA in Melbourne

The rate per night is AUD 80 per room and Melbourne YHA is quite happening and crowded compared to YHA in Auckland City.

For Parking，

There is no parking provided for YHA guest, so what we did was,

we parked those parking where is belong to public parking which allowed for parking overnight for free but you have to take your car before 7am on the next day or else you will get fine.

We are quite lucky that we still have eggs, rice and mushroom powder along with us which we bought since the day before at Healesville Town.

We cooked with everything we have for our simple and light dinner.

Dont worry about the seasoning parts, YHA Kitchen provides seasoning in the kitchen.

Having a walk in the city after having our dinner,

I was quite regret on did not show up at the Victoria Market which open on every Wednesday night.

Remember to visit the market when it is Wednesday in Melbourne City.

The Tram

I heard it is free and I should have a try to be the tram passenger on the next visit.

Night City View in Melbourne

Since we have to take our car before the time strike to 7am,

we have a quick breakfast at 7-Eleven which is next to YHA a few steps away,

Eating breakfast in 7-eleven of Melbourne city.

Morning View of Melbourne City

The first place we going to explore in Melbourne City:

Brighton Bathing Boxes, the 82 rainbow-coloured bathing boxes, provided a colorful backdrop, has become a tourist spot attraction for photo-taking.

It is just 20 minutes of driving distance to Bathing Boxes from the main city.

Spotted these little creatures' discipline ,

flying in a line following their leader to the destination. LOL

Okay, I can't admit that the picture below is IMBA,

Look at the sunshine behind me,

there is no photoshop touch up in every picture I post

The shine in the picture is by god made nature, beautify the whole picture.

This dog is TALL.

The local love to bring their lovely dogs to come here for beach walk.

You can see different types of dogs playing different types of games,

running here and there with their host at the beach.

What a lovely scenery at Brighton Beach. awww.

Back to the city after taking hundreds of pictures at Brighton Beach with the colourful bathing boxes.
First, let me take a picture before I cross the road to Hoiser Lane

Hoiser Lane, a lane or pedestrian that those aerosol-wielding artists from around the world have left their creatives at here.

There is a hidden shop along the lane, it sells SWAG theme items from head to toes.

The shop is quite big and you definitely will love it if you love swag.

The back lane of the Hoiser Lane,

there were few people lounging around at the back lane

I wonder, are they the one of them who mark the wall.
But anyhow, I did enjoy the day in this artistic lane.

My Carbo Lunch in Melbourne

I can't imagine how the local can eat pasta every single day

I felt bored with Carbonara already on the 4th day in Melbourne > <

St Patrick Cathedral, a historic and beautiful building which situated in the center of Melbourne city, opposite to Federation Square, one of the landmark in the city.

You should visit it and you will definitely feeling amazed with the building structure and design.

I never see such building like this in Asia before, even in New Zealand.

That's create Melbourne city.

St Paul Cathedral, a home church for the Anglican and located on Melbourne's busiest intersection.

State Library of Victoria, the oldest public library in Australia and is a magnificent building with the amazing heritage interior design.

The reason I upload this picture is because of the pigeons. LOL
Honestly, lots of pigeons and their faeces outside the library.
I am quite impress with those students who studying outside the library,
they don't bothered about the risk of pigeons faeces at all BUT I DO MIND, seriously.

The beautiful heritage interior design of the library.

QV Mall, a mall just right next to the public library, you just need to cross a small road between the buildings and you will reach the mall within few steps.

I have visited a sneakers shop in the mall which I called it as SNEAKERS HEAVEN
I guessed sneaker lovers will scream when they saw this.

Surprisingly, spotted Paparich in Melbourne!

Too bad that I have had my lunch or else I will get a try on the food in Paparich

since I missed Malaysia food so much

Flinder Street Railway, is a railway station on the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets in Melbourne. A heritage railway station along the busy road in Melbourne

It is quite hard to take picture with the tram and the building in one shot, as the traffic is super busy and the people was crossing the road here and there.
But thank god that my friend captured it successfully ! :D

I met a friend in Melbourne, he brought me to dinner at Chinatown.
Till now, I still miss the soup and noodles of the bowl. It taste soooo yummy.
I have queued for 20 minutes with him to get the seat but the queue is worth.

My mushroom and noodles Ma La Spice soup is delicious !

Dragon Hotpot, 一麻一辣

I am going to post the last feed of Melbourne Trip on coming two weeks
Stay Tuned !

Melbourne 6d5n Road Trip : Get in touch with the Nature of Melbourne

2018-07-26T15:07:00.001+08:00

The second day in Melbourne, checking out from the lovely host of stay

We continue headed to our next destination - The Puffing Billy

It took 1 hours and 30 mins drive from Philip Island to reach here.

We have bought the train ticket via online and it cost around RM183 per person
The things that made Puffing Billy become a famous tourist spot is just because the tourists are allowed to put their legs out of the train and hanging the legs freely outside of the train.

But somehow, there is an accident happened a month before we go.
A car crashed into the Puffing Billy train and caused a tourist lost his legs due to the crash.
That day onward, the government of the local has banned this culture of putting the legs out.

If we knew this matter before we go, we won't take Puffing Billy as part of our itinerary

Banning the legs out has totally cause Puffing Billy lost a lot of tourists to come

But I understood of what the govern concern, therefore, we just can accept this rule and moving on as we planned. The wasted part was, we were unable to enjoy putting the leg out during the journey.

The speed of the train is super slow, it took quite some time to reach a destination

You must plan well on the time if you are heading to next destination or else it might hard for you to rush back as their train speed is slow.

If I would, I will spare the time out and explore the station of the train stopped.

There are several restaurants and bites for tourists to buy and shop when you reached.

There is a part of the journey which is quite interesting

The wooden bridge
Can you imagine that the train is surrounded by the trees and matching the woods color with the wooden bridge,
soooo pretty.

The price of the train ticket is too expensive for me and I can't put my leg out

It is not value for the money at all,

the whole journey I just sit inside the train and looking at the scenery and those houses.

Seems like the price of ticket is not match with the worth.

We came back to the initial station where we departed since morning.

We had our lunch at station nearby and found a cozy cafe to take our lunch.

My eggs benedict is delicious.

After having our lunch, we drove 40 minutes further to Yara Valley

Yara Valley is a place that famous in vine plantation

A place that you will find many vineyards here and you don't even know which wine yard to enter.

I think vineyards is a must visit places if you visit Melbourne as the scenery is awesome.

The plantation of grape-bearing vines covered the entire of the hills

You can imagine the wine production is huge at here.

There are many vineyard in Yara Valley as I said.

We chose Domaine Chandon wineries among the others as it considered famous in Yara Valley.

Red wine or White wine?

I picked the white wine,

The wine cost penny, you have to pay for a glass of wine,

They provide wine testing for public too which charge AUD 45 per person

I dont think I am a good wine drinker, so a glass of wine is enough for me.

By the way, it feels great when you are drinking the wine with the grape vine plantation as your view.

The wineries closes at 5pm, make sure you reach earlier or else you have to drink with rush as they busy preparing to close.

We have late check in on this day after we had our wine sipping at Domaine Chandon,

But thank god that we found the home stay before the sky turn dark.
It is quite hard to find the location of the home stay as there is no signboard provided and any remarkable logo to remember.
But somehow,

This is the best home stay among the all in my Melbourne Trip.

For more info about this homestay, check my itinerary at here.
The home stay is located within Yara Valley,
If you plan to visit vineyard at Yara Valley, you can consider about this property.
It is not matter about new or modern, this home stay is cozy cottage house,
the main reason I satisfied was the facilities, the toiletries and the full kitchen equipment

Of course, the house is super clean too.

I enjoy cooking very much at overseas, especially winter time or cool weather.

This house, the host provide everything in the kitchen that I felt impressed.

That's why, a chef always praise the kitchen with full equipment instead of nice design.

We went to the nearest town to buy ingredients for dinner

It is not far from our stay, around 10 minutes drive either.

The dinner for second day.

The next day morning, we checked out early in the morning and headed to our next destination

Mt Buller

We stopped by at a town along the journey and captured this picture.

We drove 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Mt Buller,

It is not the right time to come up here as no snow at all,

we saw some misleading info from the website and end up we wasted a day at here

but anyhow, the scenery is awesome still.

It was like a dead city, no one at here except the people who operates business

or manage the place stay here.

The weather is cool but not as cool as Philip Islands.

We had our lunch at this peaceful place and seriously, my mind never felt so peaceful until I reached here. The main reason is there is not much population at here and it is super quiet.

But thank god that the cafe still open else we were going to starve for the whole afternoon.

We drove another 3 hours and 30 minutes drive back to Melbourne City in the evening.

The lesson learned about Mt Buller was, never come here during other season except for winter season.

Stay tuned for the next post in Melbourne City.

Melbourne 6d5n Road Trip : Greeting Animals at Maru Koala Park and Philip Island

2018-07-07T16:36:00.001+08:00

Once three of us had touched down at Melbourne Airport,

we headed to Avis Car Rental Shop which located outside of the airport for collecting the car

We had pre booked the car via online before we came here

6 days of car rental cost RM 600 excluding toll fees.

After getting our car, we headed to the destination that my friend had schedule out.

Maru Koala and Animal Park

The park is located at outskirt of Melbourne City, Grantville

It takes 2 hours drive to reach the park.

It is recommend to come in earlier morning rather than noon as those tour buses and tour groups came at noon time and create a crowded ambiance.

We reached at the park around 11am and it was not crowded at all yet.

The admission fees of the park is AUD 20.

It was quite excited to experience a closer distance with the kangaroos

especially this was my first time meet them in reality by face to face, lol

They are kinda cool and lazy of course,

they don’t bother humans and if you have food on your hand,

they definitely will come to you for sure. Well, animals, lol.

The kangaroo are hoping freely at the big field with one another

The another species of goat we called as “Cao Ni Ma”

is living peacefully with the kangaroo too.

We are also allowed to enter their area and feed them with food selling at the counter.

We are able allow to touch and take picture with them too.

Honestly, I am quite excited when I was going to touch its forehead,

I just afraid it will hop away or bump into me if I touched it.

Nevertheless, it never refuse to let me touch.

It seems like its hobby is eat and eat, just like my house pet Bobby. LOL

I cant stop myself to get close to them

just because they are soooooo cute.

They are quite tall too when they stand straight.

It was asking for food from the little boy.

I forgot the name of this little creature

but it looks like kind of rats body mix with pig face

It looks cute but it will bite human,

that's why we cant near to it and it is not opened for public, unlike kangaroo.

The Koala Bear is quite adorable too

but I m quite surprised that they were more lazier in reality.

There will be a photo session at certain time daily for the public to take picture with it.

The staff brought a koala come in to the photo taking area

and that koala refused to work and the staff had to change another koala for photo taking.

The another koala repeated the same behavior,

it keep finding the door to get out,

the staff had no choice and changed another koala again XD

Finally, that's the koala that willing to take picture today

but it seems focus on eating the leaves more.

I cant express its cuteness but the way it tear the leaf was so adorable!

It just totally same like Panda Bear.

We had our lunch inside the park,

the price of the food is almost same as those restaurants in the city,

It is normal to me by now, but the first day landed in Melbourne and looking at such price might need a longer time to make decision whether to eat or not as I keep convert the price to Malaysia Ringgit.

After lunch, we continued to drive about 20 mins distance to reach the first home stay we had in Melbourne, the home stay is super near to the spot attraction of penguin parade at Phillip Island.

For more info, you can check back the home stay detail via my itinerary post
http://osakajoan.blogspot.com/2018/06/melbourne-6d5n-road-trip-april.html

The house is super clean, basically I cant find any dust in this house

and the host is super duper friendly that they can share a lot of stories about Melbourne to 3 of us.

They do provide heater in the bed, the existence of heater did make me sleep easily as the whether at Phillip Island is quite cold compare to Melbourne City

The penguin parade starts at evening everyday

We thought we reached quite early but somehow we were late in fact when we saw majority of "good seats" have been took place.

The attraction of this penguin parade is a natural activity that taken by a group of small size penguins coming up to the shore from the sea and go back to their shelter group by group.

Since the location is by the beach,

My face was almost freeze by the low temperature and the strong wind at here.

I believe others are suffering the same like me,

it was so cold and you cant leave your seat or else it might taken by others.

All you can do is sit and wait and suffered the cold.

The Penguin Parade Entrance fee cost RM160 per person,

I didn't take any photo as they don't allow tourist to take picture on the penguins

There will be few supervisors watching us and they will warned you if you take picture on them

Honestly, I don't think penguin parade is a value for money ticket,

You just watch the penguins walked back to their shelter and you don't even see where their shelter is.

You just can see the penguins walking pass by the tourist spot. That's all. =.=

We had our light dinner after the parade ended, around 9pm

We bought mushroom can and breads from the supermarket at the evening

while the host provide us a cube of butter.

taaaadaaaaaa

Nice yet warm dinner to me for the first day in Melbourne before I go to bed.

Stay tuned at my blog for the following days in Melbourne.

I believe more photos will be uploaded.

Vegetarian Japanese Dinner at The Tokyo Restaurant

2018-06-06T15:14:00.003+08:00

I bet you have heard about this restaurant

their famous cheese cake is the best seller that everyone willing to queue for it

This was my second time visit back this restaurant again

but I wish to try their main course for my dinner before the cheese cake is serve.

I m kinda miss my face of last year XD

I look ugly now as I am fat and plump nowadays.

A must take picture wherever I was.

Honestly, it is quite hard to have vegetarian at here

their menu is not available for vegetarian at all.

What I can do was have a request on excluding the meat for the pasta course.

Mentaiko Pasta (RM25) without any meat. XD

The pasta is tasteless, I mean it do have the taste of salt only. LOL

Not recommend Vegetarian to order this at all.

Potesalad (RM14) is much better

You don't need to request any changes on this dish

They serve the potato chips as side dish and potato salad with poached egg on top of it.

A big recommend for vegetarian to order this rather than the custom made pasta. lol

Japanese Fluffy Omelette

This fluffy omelette should be serve as additional topping together with TTR Beef Curry

But I have request the waiter to change to a main course

That's why I not sure what is the price of this dish.

But anyhow, you should try it if you never try Japan Fluffy Omelette before.

The main character always fall to their signature dish

6th Avenue Cheese Cake (RM18)

No doubt that their cheese cake melts every girl's heart and taste bud seriously.

It is fluffy and the cold whipped cream is the best match with it.

Classic Tiramisu (RM18)

Honestly, I am not a coffee lover and I don't even drink coffee at all.

Their tiramisu is too bitter with the coffee powder that I cant even finish it.

Every piece I put in my mouth, I will show a squeezing expression on my face which showing that I cant accept the heavy coffee taste on it.

If you are a coffee lover, you might love it. =)

Vegetarian French Dinner at Maison Française

2018-05-23T02:23:00.003+08:00

I have never been to a French restaurant to dine in before at KL area

Thank god, my friend brought me to a French restaurant that he wish to try with.

That's the day I know about French food, Maison Française

I never know Maison Française is a proper dining restaurant until I reached there

but thank god I wore a proper attire that day.

For vegetarian like me,

you dont need to waste time to check what we can eat inside the menu.

We just only can eat the bread and dessert at here,

Nah, just kidding !

Let me show you how I have my French Vegetarian Dinner at Maison Française

Just tell the manager that you are vegetarian

and they will make a proper vegetarian french meal for you.

But of course, the manager will explain to you what the chef going to prepare for you before the chef started to cook for you.

Let me show you what they prepared for me that night

The food is awesome and is quite different with Italian food honestly
Although it looks the same, but the taste is dissimilar.

I can't mention the name of the food as all the food is made by the chef which is not inside the menu.

I just can roughly explain what is the food taste like and I am squeezing my brain juice to refresh back on that day.

They did serve bread and butter for you as same as others Italian restaurant did to keep you content before the main course being served.
Their bread is super nice ! I still remember that I told myself that I must try their high tea one day just because their bread tastes shooooo niceeeeeeee.

My friend ordered a bowl of soup for each of us and mine is specially made which is non meat included.

The soup is cream-like taste and is considered light. I forgot what is the soup made from but it is definitely not a common mushroom soup that you always saw on the menu in major Italian restaurants.

Next will be an appetizer before the main being served.

I love this course as the food is cook with creamy sauce and the noodles size is similar to linguine You will never feel satisfied after you finish eating this.

My main course : Creamy Penne with vegetables

Did you realize that the food that they served for me is all related to creamy type ?

I did ask for carbonara type of pasta and I guessed they are quite attentive when I was asking for the custom made food.

Dessert is the only one that cherish our day.
Never miss their dessert here since they serve great in doing pastry

Le Souffle au votre choix/Vanilla soufflé

Valrhona dark chocolate and pistachio lava cake, vanilla ice cream

The dessert is great ! Lava cake is normal and common in others restaurant too.
But I still can't resist the ultimate taste of warm chocolate lava cake mixing with the icy cold ice cream giving me the hot and cold hit in my mouth.

You should try a french dining someday at here too

Maybe you will like it. I bet.

Vegetarian Dinner at Mr Chew's Chino Latino Bar

2018-04-26T15:23:00.003+08:00

Since the name of Mr Chew has been repeating in my ears for a period of times,

I have decided to visit it on last year December,

Yes, sounds like I have been late posting it up in ages.

Please forgive me for my slackness.

Somehow, the building did provide Valet Parking for the customers

Just park in front of the entrance and they may help you else you need to park in the mall or building nearby. By the way, for the first time customer like me, it is quite hard to find where is it as the bar is located inside the building, and the traffic is quite busy, you can't slow down your car to find the bar one by one else you will get horn by the cars behind you.

We have booked a table for 2 at 8:30pm that night and we reached earlier than the time of it so we have been arranged to sit on the waiting seats to be served.

We ended up be served at 9p.m.( later than the time we book our table)

It is not a good impression for me after all when they served the table late for me and my friend.

We got our table finally when the time nearly reached 9p.m.

The view is fantastic with their great ambience surrounding.

I can't deny that I love this seat location as well

especially taking photo with the portrait behind me

I think the portrait has become one of the signature in this restaurant bar.

A big thumb up to them was when I mentioned about vegetarian,

they showed up another menu with vegetarian title for me

I was quite surprised that they did have vegetarian menu as I been researched the menu of this restaurant for few days and no vegetarian food menu shown up at all.I came is just because I saw there is some food I can call them custom made for me, but now seems like I not need to trouble them doing me a favor anymore instead.

Look, the vegetarian menu choices is quite a lot compare to others restaurant.

That's made my day as a vegetarian.

The special part of the serving was, they served the starter just like how Korea restaurant serve to us.

But of course, Mr Chew Restaurant allows 3 starters only.

The starters are chosen by ourselves to avoid food wastage instead.

So these 3 starters below are mushroom, white fungus and seaweed,

which is very suitable for vegetarian.

Okay, let see what we have ordered that night

Somen Noodles - considered as starter as well since the dish serves with cold.

By the way, I love preserved eggs so much that's why I ordered this dish,

taste delicious with a little taste of spice.

Mr Chew's Special Fried Rice- Delicious fried rice that comes with sweet taste by the corns

Yes I am a mushroom lover so I will not miss to order this one

Steamed Mushroom - is the hottest dish among the other two dishes, and it taste normal steam mushroom to me, the dish didn't surprised me.

Another signature part of this restaurant is their toilet,

nice design thou.

I love the basin design so much.

Mr Chew Latino Bar is a fusion restaurant indeed.

2018-03-23T17:33:00.001+08:00

怡保的味道，一直都弥漫着浓厚古时旧街场的气息

一踏入了怡保的第一片土地

一定少不了他们当地爱吃的古早味早餐风味

布丁蛋周围的黑糖甜度遮盖了布丁蛋吃久的腻感

蛮好吃的

关于生熟蛋方面

和那么多摆设品在一间房间内的主题酒店

太漂亮了啦！

其实蛮多新婚的情侣都会选择来这边拍摄婚纱照

看来这酒店很受新婚的情侣的欢迎呢

这里的灯光和布置都很漂亮

数字主题的房间总会有数字一直环绕着

这墙太有味道了！

好吧，就让我继续装逼地把照片放上来

每一张照片都太漂亮了

全都因为背景太精致（不是我赞我自己啦）

在这里住一晚好好思考人生也不赖哦

起码我思考的时候

拍到了一张那么有感觉的照片出来，哈

Vegetarian Fine Dining at Marble 8 on 56

2018-03-20T17:54:00.000+08:00

Many people might questioned about what do a vegetarian eat at a steakhouse place

What can they eat?

Well, I'm quite happy to choose myself to be a vegetarian

but I m not a vegetarian which is super clean that even the cooking utensil also need to make sure is it clean or not (means the cooking utensil must not use to cook any meat at all)

I am not under that kind of category,

so I just define myself as casual vegetarian

Well, a table with nice view must be reserve first before you come.

A glass of red wine is a must to match with the starry night view

Marble 8 's starter bread comes along with 4 types of sauces to spread on.

I was quite impressed with their so called chili color of sauce

but they matched perfectly with the bread thou, especially the "belacan" taste.

I can't describe how it taste like but it doesn't taste weird at all.

I just love to enjoy sipping wine while looking at the menu and thinking of what to eat for my main course later, hmmm.

The steakhouse free us a complimentary appetizer

I was quite touched that the waiter know I am a vegetarian since I have ordered vegetarian main course so he served a vegetarian burger with mushroom for me.

I was quite happy that he still remember that my menu is different with usual one.

The mini mushroom burger

I have ordered an appetizer which vegetarian can eat too.

Zucchini Parmigiana

Honestly, this appetizer is super yummy,

I never expect a vegetarian appetizer can be so delicious

and it totally out of my expectation.

I am definitely going to have this dish again

My vegetarian main course

Pappardelle

The sauce is unlike usual pasta sauce I tasted before,

the sauce is somehow like those chinese food soy sauce that kind of taste

Anyhow, I just wanna sum up in one word : awesome.

The dessert for that night was

Dark chocolate fondant with raspberry purée and conunut gelato

I think the dessert part is almost same to every fine dining restaurant

It is not too special yet too simple,

but this dessert is kinda over sugar to my taste bud.

My OOTN taking picture reflection in their washroom

That's all for the dinner that night

Bali Trip 2017: Ubud 三天两夜投入大自然的怀抱

2018-02-19T03:31:00.002+08:00

虽然这是我第二次到UBUD 了

但我还是很喜欢投入到这绿色大自然的怀抱中

眼睛的近视仿佛跌了几度呢哈

这一次住的UBUD度假酒店呢我超级满意的

其实在UBUD的酒店不只是超豪华而且价钱也超便宜呢

所以想要以廉价的价钱享受豪华别墅还是度假酒店的你们，

一定要来到UBUD体验哦！

我这一次住的度假酒店式

【PURI GANGGA RESORT】

从酒店走路都可以到达RICE TERRACE PADDY FIELD这名胜景点

这边离UBUD市区有一点的距离但也不会远

这间度假酒店我绝对给100分的评价

环境优美，服务超棒之外

他们早上有很多免费活动給住客哦

有免费瑜伽班，晨运，下午茶等等

总而言之，这边的活动都超精彩和放松

被森林包围的感觉，空气超清新

如果你想耳根清净的地方，这绝对是最佳地点。

第一天在UBUD的早餐

由于订房的时候没包早餐

所以早餐都另外给呀

早餐的价钱呢有点小贵但由于在山上嘛

所以费用高都可以理解哦

吃饱后就来瑜伽班啦

由于我目前在KL学的瑜伽都是蛮高难度的

所以我觉得度假酒店教的瑜伽是非常容易的

很适合给所有人包括没有瑜伽基础的人学哦

结束了早上的健康瑜伽

我们就往UBUD的旅程出发啦

这一次选了另一个司机来载送我们

因为价钱比较便宜的关系

所以选择了这位新司机

司机联络方式：

INSTAGRAM: putu_transportbali

FB: Putu Pande

他开的价钱是我最满意的价钱

整天的旅程算我们 IDR400K

Rice Terrace - Kintamani Hot Spring - Kintamani View Lunch Buffet - Tukad Cepung

因为每个景点的距离都蛮遥远所以这价钱值了

第一站： RICE TERRACE PADDY FIELD

来个旅客POSE

其实我蛮佩服其他旅客能走完整个稻田的梯级

因为那太阳真的超猛而且下梯级都是人等人那种排队下和上的

又没有扶手上梯级，对于我这种脚板小身体大的人一定站不稳

干脆找个咖啡屋坐下来享受大自然岂不是更好

看完了绿绿的稻田

是时候又看雄伟的火山了

但这一次想泡个大自然的温泉先

司机介绍我们来到这间超大范围的温泉大池

【TOYA DEVASYA】

成人价钱 IDR200K 泡一整天无限制

泡温泉的当儿还有那么漂亮的山景和湖景

这画面我醉了

其实，泡超过一个小时后都会觉得已经超足够了哈哈

肚子饿了就赶快来到司机带的地方吃自助午餐

这自助餐不会贵，IDR60K 以内都可以吃到了

对着火山吃午餐超幸福

对于食物基本上没太大的期望因为大多数的印尼食物都很一般

最后一站会比较远所以这路程我几乎睡着

因为火山的位置在山上，要下山需要接近半小时的时间哦

这也是司机介绍的

对于我来说当下真的很漂亮

那瀑布的光线配水声，的确吸引人

但是来到这瀑布的路程是好像走了一段15分钟的梯级路程

体能方面必须要有，还有不要穿漂亮的鞋来

有些路要脱鞋走的不然会滑哦

【TUKAD CEPUNG】

不爱走山路的美眉们可以选择不要来这里

因为真的很吃力

我来回走了这路程

我发现我快虚脱了哈哈

为了美景，而且是第一次没来过的

我肯定会挑战自己来

其实司机还蛮好人的

我们要求司机载我们到MONKEY FOREST MARKET这边打包晚餐回酒店

他二话不说就答应了

还愿意等我们呢

来到了以往最爱吃的中餐素食馆

真的很好吃，要不然不会来第二次

【VEGGIE KARMA】

靠近MONKEY FOREST那一条街道

吃的时候那感觉超幸福的！

因为印尼的食物真的不适合我的胃口

水饺

辣炒茄子

羹汤

最幸福的晚餐

隔天早上来个早泳

这泳池对着的是一片森立景色

绿色一片在我眼前，格外放松

退房前还来个泡澡节奏

还没回国之前一定要尽情享受呀

退房后，要求司机带我们到UBUD MARKET走走

顺便吃个丰盛的午餐

这一次又来狂点餐了

因为西餐的关系，我用尽奶力点了

太想念西餐和中餐了

可见印尼的食物给了我很大的阴影哈哈哈

【MAHA RESTAURANT AND BAR】

也是靠近MONKEY FOREST的街道哦

食物好吃

很多外国人都在这里吃哦

他们的户外用餐超棒的

蛋饼

奶白意大利面

炸蘑菇配MAYO

两个小时到机场的路程都是睡着的状态

到达机场的样子惨不忍睹

临飞前还来个冰淇淋把自己变胖

巴厘岛之旅就这样完美落幕

Bali Trip 2017: 两天一夜Jimbaran > Dreamland Beach > Balangan Beach

2017-11-01T01:09:00.003+08:00

来到了巴厘岛第三天

坐船回来后ROCKY的员工也一样地载我们到我们入住的下一个酒店

可以说，交通上真的省下很多费用哦！

入住的酒店名叫JIMBARAN BAY BEACH RESORT

这酒店那天满客，本来拿的不是这间房

但因为浴缸对着外面海边，真的很没安全感

跟订下的照片完全不一样所以才要求换房

而且订的时候已经注明NO CORNER ROOM

他们还是给我们角落房间

换到了这间浴缸比较有安全感的一间

但还是不满意的一间

原因是有点阴森恐怖，还有BIBLE在房间里，

明明刚才那间没有耶，但还是算了，

他们送我们两张免费晚餐自助餐劵当着补偿给我们

厕所也特别阴森，哈哈哈

无奈啊

4点就租德士去AYANA ROCK BAR打算看日出

结果人太多

放弃了那念头，就在那边吃拍照吃甜品好啦
坐着车去AYANA的路上

这边哪个景色都是美景

超漂亮的

但是因为人太多，很难拍到美美的照片

最后才发现才拍到几张而已

由于不想等AYANA ROCK BAR排队等号码的关系，我们决定换计划

那就是换去吃甜品呗

其实马来西亚也有这间甜品店

但是这边的环境似乎更适合花钱来吃耶

对着那幽静的环境，

这甜品值了！

我们点了这迷你型的绿茶甜品

每一样都有的品尝

很不错哦

都好吃！价钱跟马来西亚的没什么差

况且我觉得你们都会跟我一样认为这甜品配美景是划算的！

回到房间看到了酒店服务员送的蛋糕在桌子上

他们的服务真心很好

但是房间那边就真的很失望呢

我们的房间是RM650一晚的就给他们这样毁了

好可惜耶

隔天早上吃了他们的丰盛早餐后就要换地点了

JIMBARAN BAY BEACH RESORT的早餐值得我表扬的

我是超爱吃自助餐的女人

这Bali旅行里，让我最满意的早餐只有这间

他们的选择很多，食物也好吃！

还有当地人在那边奏乐给我们听，心情超好的

退房后，难得在JIMBARAN，

就来到了附近的海边，DREAMLAND BEACH

这边的海也是很美！

虽然不是我最爱的深蓝色海，但是浅蓝色也很美哦！

这边的海都很清洁，水很清，好多外国游客在这里晒太阳。

我最爱就是在海边躺着看别人走来走去

看他们的喜悦，看他们的活动

这一切的时光多么美丽

租了雨伞和躺椅就这样在这边呆1个小时半呗

旅行就应该这样缓慢下来

我来分享那天的照片先

来到了午餐时间

刚好下一站来到了BALANGAN BEACH

离DREAMLAND BEACH很近而已哦！

就干脆在这里解决午餐

话说，这是我第二次来这海边了

虽然这次来的时间不对，海都退潮了

但那深蓝色的海依然我最爱

这边的餐厅全都看海吃的

超完美的午餐！

配着椰水，啊~心情超舒爽！

午饭后，想走走消化消化才上车

反正司机还没来，

便特地来到了退潮的海边看看下海底的生物

来到退潮的画面，一定想到螃蟹！

果然螃蟹超多的，种类也很多

退潮后的景色惨不忍睹

但别有一番特色

也让我大开眼界看到不一样的画面

因为那些坑都很深，

所以当地的人还当场在坑里捕小鱼

我还看到透明的水母耶

这里的一切我都觉得好有趣，真的不一样的体验哦！

下面这生物是住在海里的蜗牛

SEA SNAIL，我忘了外国人称呼它什么名字了

当天外国人发现到它时才指给我们看的

我还看到一个小孩，非常非常努力地在太阳底下当起救护员

帮这些脱离水了的生物回归于水坑里

看到那瞬间，心都因为这女孩给融化了

好啦，结束了我们的生物探险之旅

是时候离开JIMBARAN

向UBUD 出发了！

继续留守我的部落格哦！

Bali Trip 2017: Nusa Lembongan三天两夜环岛游

2017-10-25T16:45:00.002+08:00

第三次去Bali了，但还是对Bali的一切都好爱好爱，

姐妹们都叫我别再去了

因为带去的最后都分手了

听起来好邪门，但我还是很爱去

好啦，这一次是最后一次去了，

我要长长久久的爱情所以我唯有牺牲Bali了

这一次特地买了MALINDO FLIGHT，

因为比较价钱下，它最便宜而且位子又宽，

又有小荧幕看，还包20公斤的行李

还有还有，还包午餐给我们呢！

超划算的！RM400 来回机票哦

MALINDO是在KLIA 1 上机的

千万不要弄乱哦

好啦，我准备上飞机了罗

有小荧幕，位子又宽

3个小时的飞机绝对不会闷坏

三个小时的飞机路程很快就过了，

一转眼就到BALI了，

这次谁来接送我们呢？答案是ROCKY BOAT公司的司机啦

还没去之前就EMAIL他们说我要买船票去NUSA LEMBONGAN，

然后告诉他们你的飞机行程时间，他们就会派人来接你了

上一次给了RM50交通费去到SANUR 码头坐船，

这一次学会省钱了，直接叫船票的公司派司机来接我们，呵呵

你可以告诉司机你需要买SIM CARD

他会带你到码头附近买哦，

机场买SIM CARD超贵的，千万别买。

司机首先带我们到他们的公司付钱，

然后才带我们到码头等船

下到来码头了，竟然还有三个小时的时间等船到呢

姐教你过时间最快的方法

那就是吃吃吃和自拍自拍自拍

在这里看着海边吃午餐超幸福的

30分钟抵达NUSA LEMBONGAN，
他们船员会载我们直接到我们住的地方下车哦
服务还不错哦，回的时候也一样，包山包海给你。

我们入住的民宿是 GECKO BUNGALOW
处于在比较静的环境，有提供出租摩托给你到处去
民宿的价钱是两晚RM510，不包早餐

其实岛上的食物不怎么样好吃，
我们第一天的晚餐我真的吃不下
没味道的咖喱菜，
还好有荷包蛋，要不然我看我吃不下多少了

租摩托车给我们的老板开的餐厅
本来打算支持下他的，结果吃到不好吃就有点后悔了 T.T
NYOMAN RESTAURANT

第二天的早晨正是我最开心最幸福的时光啦

因为终于可以跟大海拥抱啦

但我来MUSHROOM BAY吃个早餐先

虽然早餐价钱有点小贵，

但是环境一级棒，服务一级棒，食物一级棒

而且对着海吃早餐呢！

早餐店名： Hai Bar and Grill

吃了早餐后，继续骑摩托到天堂的第一站：恶魔的眼泪 DEVIL TEAR

为何叫恶魔的眼泪呢？

因为那浪很大，会冲到悬崖石后再冲击上来造成了很细小的水雾

水雾就好像恶魔的眼泪这样，为何叫恶魔？

因为很危险，一不小心站太靠近悬崖的话，浪冲力太大会把你拉下海哦

第二站：梦幻沙滩 DREAM BEACH

来过了还想继续回来这里的海边

因为太太太美了，水太蓝，景太美

DREAM BEACH HUT 的餐厅还允许游客租泳池一整天哦

一整天的价钱是大约马币RM30哦

要谨记的是，他们的泳池虽然很美，对着海景的无边际泳池

但是！

他们泳池的深度很深很深，就连很高的外国人都站不到

你一定要会游泳才下去哦，不然很危险哦

他们泳池的水是海水来的，喝下去咸咸的，哈哈

这里的海边24小时的风是超大的

每一次都把我的头发吹得像扫把头（哈哈）

在沙滩玩到累了的时候，

可以到DREAM BEACH HUT的餐厅享用午餐哦

他们的食物算在这岛上已经很不错很好吃了

只是晚上因为路程太远，路太黑，所以都不敢晚上来这里吃晚餐呢

（除非你住这区哦）

别说了，

静静看我吃午餐吧（流口水中）

分享下当天在梦幻海边拍的照片

那海的颜色我超喜欢的

来一百次都愿意呢！

晒太阳时间到

看着那海的颜色，心都融化了

一辈子都爱的海边

晚餐终于吃到了一间很不错吃的餐厅

因为我们觉得这边食物都不好吃

所以觉得这间超好吃的！

THE SAMPAN SEAFOOD AND GRILL

第三天我们终于出海SNORKELING了

我记得我们一个人马币大约RM135

配套也是GECKO 民宿的老板娘介绍的

我们下海的地点有：

MANTA POINT, GAMAT BAY, TOYAPAKEH WALL

MANTA POINT 是让我印象最深刻的，

那时候早上的浪很恐怖大，在船上的时候，

你根本看不到前面的航程

那些一波一波的浪真的高过我们的船耶

到了MANTA POINT，因为浪很大很大很恐怖的关系

导游都劝我们说不是很会游泳的都不要下

所以我都不敢下去因为整船的人只有我们两个亚洲人

我们真的定义不到会游泳的定义是怎样的级别

但是从船上都能看到很大只的魔鬼鱼游来游去

超兴奋的！

第二站和第三站的BAY的时候，浪平静很多了，

所以我们才敢下海浮潜

很开心的是，第一次被水母伤到

好特别的感觉耶，超兴奋的！

虽然当下真的很痛很痛但这体验超值得！

午餐来到民宿隔壁的酒店餐厅享用

也是有点小贵哦，而且食物还可以过得去而已

PLANET NOMADAS DIVE SURF YOGA RESORT

吃饱后就等ROCKY的船员来民宿载我们去码头啦

我的Bali旅程还没结束哦，

请守住我的部落格哦！

【11天的自驾游必定注意的事情】

1.MT COOK分两条路，要分清楚你要走的路线才订酒店
2.驾车的人一定要会驾悬崖边的山路
3.别把你的行程排得密密麻麻，真的会赶不及
4.遇到冬天一定要准备很多很多很多冷衣，不是开玩笑的冷
5.新西兰南岛太大，要预料到很多地方走不完

New Zealand Trip: Day 10 & 11 Queenstown > Auckland

2017-09-18T15:17:00.000+08:00

Day 10 in New Zealand,

well, is time to fly back to North island on that day

Before we check out, we went to Queenstown mall again for last minute shopping war

I still remember it was around 9am and the shops were not open yet

But the ice cream cafe was open early in the morning that day

so we decided to have a dessert in this such early morning.

I have heard about Queenstown Mall is famous with their ice cream dessert

so we did not want to miss a chance to try the ice cream at here

Well, their machine impressed us.

There are so many flavour for us to choose and even toppings too

The price is not expensive if you choose not to convert to Malaysia ringgit. XD

Look at the color of the ice creammmmmmm,

they look so delicious and they are not made of colour flavouring

They are all made of natural ingredients.

Oh my, I am craving now by looking at these pictures.

My mom and I decided to order 2 scoops of flavour and share

By the way, their scoop amount is HUGE

unlike Malaysia, seriously, we took a long time to finish it

and this definitely value for money for such big scoop

Look, it was HUGE

Happy girl I was when I know I am going to have taste that ice cream scoops

Yeahhh

The weather was not sunny and it was drizzling in the whole morning

We saw a rainbow in front of the hill and matching with the lake

The view is awesome pretty with the additional of rainbow.

How lovely it was.

The rainbow.

Since we had nothing to shop anymore,

we went back to our accommodation and prepared to check out.

A picture taken is a must outside my homestay where it was facing such amazing view

No doubt, my background was not a drawing

IT IS REAL and IT IS AMAZINGLY NICE

Goodbye to Queenstown

As mentioned on Day 3, we had book return flight from Jetstar

which was Auckland to Christchurch and Back from Queenstown to Auckland

Just like you have to fly overseas to Australia and You have to come to KLIA even though Penang has airport also, that's the same theory, lmao.

My Lunch at Queenstown Airport before we fly.

I think is hard to eat this kind of quiche in Malaysia,

so fluffy and full of eggs and mushroom

Back to Auckland, we stayed at YHA Auckland Hostel again

It cost around NZD31 per pax (RM93)
The location of YHA is very strategic as it is near to the city central,
we just walked out and there was 10-20 restaurants for us to choose as our dinner that night.

At last, we chose to had dinner at one of the Korea Restaurant which their restaurant was full of customers that day,

Our food was satisfying and delicious.

Vegetarian Chap Cai

This is the best kimchi I had ever !

I had refill 4 plates and it taste soooooooo nice !

Spicy Fried Squid

Kimchi Soup

Next morning, we had a steep walk outside YHA Hostel,

we were impressed when we saw this road

I think this is the steepest road I have ever seen.

You cant even walk properly when you stand here,

It felt like you were going to fell.

Before we fly back to Malaysia, we walked around the Auckland City

Since we did not really look into Auckland city since at the first day we came,

we just keep busying visit the place that nearby Auckland at the first and second day we came.

The toilet ?? I m not sure.

The city street

Our lunch that day was Japanese meal,

it was hardly to find vegetarian dumpling and vegetarian sushi like this in Malaysia

so I decided to try it in New Zealand before I leave.

Vege Dumpling

Miso Soup

My kind of lunch in Auckland

The another kind of city view in Auckland.

it was so different with south island,

but they look nice thou

That's all for my 11 days in New Zealand,

Do check my itinerary if you wanna have more info on that

The budget for the whole trip is around RM7k-RM10k

Depends how you spend and where you choose to eat.

Check out my Itinerary.

New Zealand Trip: Day 9 Mt Nicholas Farm Day Tour > Queenstown Mall

2017-09-05T02:17:00.004+08:00

Southern Discoveries Travel Agency had offered us a cruise tour around Queenstown on the next day due to the glass top coach to Milford Sound on a day before had change to a normal coach for us

So, for an apologise offer,

they gave us a cruise tour as free for the next day in Queenstown.

Since the cruise tour took only half an hour to finish,

we decided to add on a farm tour which cost NZD25 (RM75)

Group photo before departing

We depart from the Queenstown harbour which is near to the Queenstown mall.

By the way,

the view is amazingly beautiful.

They provide free of charge of beverage such as coffee and tea for us inside the cruise

and yea you just need to request from the staff who stand behind the bar

Taking picture is my routine

and taking picture with the scenic view is my pleasure.

When the cruise was going to reach Nicholas Farm

the captain will announce inside the cruise through the microphone

and yea, Mt Nicholas Farm was in front of me

When we reached at Mt Nicholas Farm,
we been gathered in front of an old man
He brief us about the farm background around 5 minutes.

After the brief, we been told to on board to a van which provided by him

and his partner fetch us to the top of the hill

The view on top of the hill is incredibly mesmerizing !

The lake was so calm and peace

The environment is so lovely and peaceful

I think you would like to stay here if you hunting for peaceful and quiet life.

Lets enjoy the view.

After enjoying the view on top of the hill, we sat the van and back down from the hill

This time, the owner introduced his pet, Dolly

and Dolly is the only sheep that can walk freedomly around the farm

as Dolly is the owner's pet.

Unlike others sheep, Dolly followed him everywhere he go.

The owner ordered the shepherd dog by using his hand to direct the direction

and the shepherd dog run to very very very far till we can't even see it.

But then, the moment we wait for the shepherd to come back,

we fed the cow with the grains that owner gave us.

The very first time I get so close to the horse

and it is so huge that make me felt a little bit nervous when I touch it.

Okay, 5 mins after, the shepherd dog came back but it was not alone,

it brought the sheep came too

Then we moved to the place that the sheep rest,

when the owner was explaining the routine work he did,

I caught a chance to take picture with Dolly

Great shot I had ! They told me that Dolly turn its head at the right time, yea.

After that, we moved to a place with a stage that seems like we were going to have a show to watch down the stage.

Yes, the owner will show us how the sheep fur being shed off from a machine

Of course, the lucky sheep is not Dolly,

remember? Dolly is his pet.

He was showing us the process of how the fur being processed to become cloth for human

After the tour end, we were been invited to a farmhouse to enjoy our light lunch

Oh ya, Dolly left by its own to the field after we reached farmhouse entrance,

the owner did not order Dolly to leave but Dolly know its job done and it back to the field to eat

We were so surprise that Dolly know when the work be done

That's why I said it is so smart.

By the way, this was our lunch they provide for us, simple yet lovely lunch

Our family group picture before leaving the Mt Nicholas Farm

By the way, the noon time passengers visiting the farm were quite a lot

It was 3 times more than the number of people in morning time.

So my best advice is pick the morning tour.

Individual picture with the cruise at Mt Nicholas Farm

Then the cruise brought us back to Queenstown was around 3-4pm

We shopped at Queenstown Mall after we back from the tour.

Well, you should come and shop here if you love city travel

There are so many shops here for us to spend. LOL

The view at Queenstown Mall is pretty too

Don't mistaken the Mall word,

even though we Malaysians always take Mall as an indoor

building which located hundreds of shops inside,

But in NZ, Queenstown mall here is belong to outdoor one,

is same like how Malaysians always called as a Street.

The evening view in NZ always was my favourite view

their evening sky in NZ is pink in colour

and matching with the snow covered mountain,

is like a drawing !

Stay tuned for my Day 10 and 11 post,

I am going to combine the post as one post for the next coming post

stay tuned
