My New Love


I am so addicted to Macarons! Simply lovely! La Belle Miette sells the best macarons I have tasted so far.

I tried 12 flavours - Caramel a la Fleur de Sel (BEST), Cherry Blossom & Sake, Mariage Freres Earl Grey Chocolate, Hazelnut Belle Miette, Lemon, Olive Oil & Vanilla, Pimm’s & Pomegranate, Pink Grapefruit, Raspberry, Rose, Strawberry & Vanilla, Violet & Blueberry.
Love the colors. Love the taste! Even the box is nice! ($4)
$2.50 each. Absolutely worth it!

I am missing it already!!!

First Meal

It was a 2 hours flight from KL and we reached Siem Riep about 8 am. We stayed at Golden Mango Inn, a highly recommended hotel (rated #1) we could find in HostelWorld. A triple room costed around $27 and since there're 4 gals, we had to add another $5. With that additional $5, all you get is an extra pillow and not an extra bed.  How weird is that? Apart from that (and limited lighting in the room), I am quite satisfied with the hotel's cleanliness (bathrooms are super clean) and services. They provided us:

  • free pickup from the airport,
  • free breakfast,
  • free fruits in each room, 
  • hot shower
  • unlimited drinking water in the room and in the van & tuk tuk we hired,
  • charge $4 for each tuk tuk after 10 pm. (which is considerably cheap),
  • great advices on where to go/what to eat, 
  • friendly hotel owners who helped us buy our bus tickets to Phnom Penh and called the van to pick us up directly,
  • and of course, free wi-fi for some of us who cannot stand a day without facebook/online.

Nasi Lemuni

Where?Pasar Ramadan next to Bayan Baru Market, Penang
When?Now till 9th September 2010
What?Nasi Lemuni, a very rare dish you can find anywhere (at least for me). Lemuni is some kind of herbal plant if I am not mistaken. =P

The ingredients are the same for nasi lemak - hot & spicy gravy(sambal), roasted peanuts, anchovies, egg, chicken or rendang, etc. Simply delicious!
