Misty Plaza, School & Delicacies At CingJing Nantou, Taiwan
One of the Taiwanese auntie manning a local tea specialty shop summarized CingJing, Nantou in Taiwan really well. She said “清境有三好 – 好山, 好水, 好无聊“. True enough, CingJing offers gorgeous scenery high up in the mountainous central region of Taiwan. But with only Misty Plaza, CingJing Farm, The Old England and some scattered shops around, things […]
Necessary Provisions Is Too Basic For Brunch, Eng Kong Terrace
Visiting Necessary Provisions was not part of our agenda on the Sunday morning. We have wanted to check out the breakfast scene at Carpenter & Cook but unfortunately the cafe was undergoing renovations.

Vienna Pleasance Cottage Breakfast & Dinner, Nantou Taiwan
Waking up early the morning at Vienna Pleasance Cottage and seeing the sun rise from the distance mountain range in Nantou Taiwan was quite an experience.

Minsu Experience At Vienna Pleasance Cottage, Nantou Taiwan
Not known to many, Nantou County is an Asian paradise that lies at the geographical heart of Taiwan. Although it is the only county that does not border Taiwan’s coast, it’s breathtaking mountainous scenery more than made up for it.

The Baker Boy At Viridian Art House Made My Sunday Fabulous!
Instead of having my usual economical bee hoon downstairs, I decided to be more atas and check out the all-day breakfast at The Fabulous Baker Boy @ The Viridian Art House along The Foothills Of Fort Canning Park. Why The Fabulous Baker Boy specifically? Well, the name sounds fun (well, agreed that it’s kinda gay) […]

How To Kill Boredom During Travelling
I’m sure you have heard of the cliché that goes, “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey,” or something to that effect. In the course of my travels I have learnt that though overused, this phrase encapsulates pretty much the essence of going away itself. Close your eyes for a moment. You’re on a long drive, […]

Bombay Dreams – Best Indian Lunch Buffet In Hong Kong
Indian cuisine is probably not on many tourists’ Must Try List in Hong Kong. With so many mouth watering options for great dim sum, wanton noodles, roasted meat joints and desserts, I would not have visited Bombay Dreams if not for Shinichi strong recommendation. Having spent a significant period of time in India, he claims that […]
