Seafood Although you can get seafood from any part of Japan, Hokkaido justifiably lays claim to having a special association with seafood. Prior to visiting Hokkaido, the seafood we ate, when visiting the other parts of Japan, were limited to Sushi and Bentos. While in Hokkaido, we had the priviledge of trying a few things … [Read more…]
Part of many traveller’s motivation of travelling to Japan is to sample Japanese food. For me, you could say it’s half the reason I’m there. I know exactly what I want to eat and plan for each meal of my trip. Hokkaido is choke full of food offerings. Here are the food I sampled in … [Read more…]
Time flies and it’s almost time for my Hokkaido trip. To be honest, i have the feeling it will be anticlimatic in comparison to my Europe trip, but nevertheless, there is food and tranquility to look forward to, not to mention the extremely hot weather in Singapore that i’m so so happy to leave behind.

It’s been almost two years since I have used Shopback and I am happy to announce that I have just crossed the S$500 milestone! Most of the cashback were accumulated from hotel bookings. Yes, I travel a lot, but most of us do travel every now and then and there’s no reason why anyone should … [Read more…]
Received the mailer as pictured above today. ANZ Retail business taken over by DBS, and that would include the Credit Card business. It can only mean one thing – all ANZ Credit Cards will go. As the saying goes, all good things come to an end. Also, if it looks too good to be true, … [Read more…]
This is a topic that invites much debate, and there will never be a conclusion. Pardon me for borrowing the popular phrase spoken among Indians: “according to me”, I say Chung Wah is the best. It is often mentioned that chicken rice sold at Jonker Walk are hype and are to be avoided. My tastebuds tell … [Read more…]
Today i found my new favourite lunch stop along the North-South highway – Hin Thoy restaurant at Panchor. It is easily accessible from the North-South highway – merely 8 minutes from the Pagoh toll exit. Panchor is a quiet village by the Muar river, and i love the sense of serenity here. This was much … [Read more…]
