we chose a gastronomic visit this time to eat in their many 1 michelin starred restaurants. to us, a 1 michelin is the best value for money eats. it is not pretentious and it offers great food at a smaller premium.

we spent most of the days thinking about the next meal and lying by the pool.

3.5 hours flight south of nyc, the yucatán peninsular, mayan civilization beckons. here one can find unbelievable hues of blue ocean water, crystal clear fresh cenote water, white beaches, pink salt lakes, ancient pyramids and lots of modern entertainment in all-inclusive resorts.

almost paradise.

back to the big apple to wrap things up, prepare for the next one and eat, shop and walk.

it’s been a long time since we get excited hopping on a plane. but when it’s the very first time on the world’s longest flight, it definitely calls for a small shout out!

07/03/2023

on a full moon night, the queen bloomed.

23/02/2023

we came to nola for the mardi gras (fat tuesday in french) because everyone told us we have to see it to believe it. no amount of pictures and videos can explain it, and there are lots of inappropriate ones. we can’t wrap our head around the debauchery. and to make this cultural phenomenon weirder, mardi gras is a christian holiday.

it’s the best party ever though.

21/02/2023

on lundi gras, the party in nola just swing from crazy to mayhem. and it isn’t mardi gras as yet!

what started as vandalism became mainstream arts and now it’s an attraction.

design style born in the early 20th century, still stylish today. deco drive is a feast of the visuals.

the same atlantic coast but feels like 2 countries. from the rolling meadows of new england to the white sand beaches of spanish florida. the adaption of european culture found in the new world.

sun’s out, surf’s up.

12/02/2023

still cold in ny, ny. looking forward to the sunny southern states.

nights were spent looking for local food gems. the bills per meal never exceed SGD80 for 2.

05/01/2023

show more snow.

04/01/2023

cold is not even sufficient to describe the temperature here. after 3 years of covid, we finally found the season, and location, to leave ourselves out in the cold, literally.

japan is one destination that will never go wrong.

tucked between the pacific ocean and the troung son mountains, far away from the city’s temptations, a perfect getaway.

23/10/2022

hoi an is about taking it slow.

22/10/2022

there are no shortages of trading ports in south east asia. due to its rich diversity of tropical natural resources; spices, materials scents. it is no surprise why south east asians adopt strong propensity towards learning foreign languages.

walking through the old town of hoi an is like going back in time. an eclectic mix of architecture styles frozen in time. indigenous people, japanese, chinese, french all lent their presence here. and the vietnamese wrap it in creative style.

after the streets come the foods. no experience is complete in new york without the gastronomic visits.
