 Frasers Hill Food Guide Unlike most highlands in Malaysia, Frasers Hill or Bukit Fraser is a less popular tourist destination thus makes it a blessing when comes to dining and eating. Without the squeeze, pushes and queues, we found the summit was not quiet yet not too crowded though we arrived on a school holiday and a national holidays weekend. From a thought of weekend's nature escapade, we ended up with a day trip at Fraser's Hill. To find out more on the landmarks and how to get to Fraser's… |

 Bukit Fraser Now everyone can drive up to Frasers Hill or Bukit Fraser at anytime you wish. Unlike what happen in the past, there was no more hassle, no time restriction, no blackout zone for ascending and descending this highland from The Gap - the last 10km before the peak. New road to descend the hill has opened to public for almost a year. Though longer than The Gap Road, it is a pleasant road winds through the lush greenery. We departed from Kuala Lumpur about 8 am. A sunny morning, the sky… |

 Exotic Sweet Desserts If you're going crazy for mango sticky rice, you have 2 options. One - head straight to Tesco Extra's food court at Penang Sg Dua, zoom into the Thai corner, dine and you'd be fine! Not many eateries in Penang offer scrumptious mango sticky rice, but this little Thai's Khao Niaow Ma Muang deserves to be highlighted. Their sticky rice is soft, blends perfectly with the creamy coconut milk sauce and ripe mango is simply delicious, and cost less than RM5! |

 Whether it is the rainy season or you just want your children to abstain from the perpetual summer in Penang, you may consider this wonderful indoor playground for kids. A brilliant sanctuary for young children from babies to tween (or even for parents), I-Play Toy Library is the name of a little gem that occupies right wing on ground floor of Penang Children's Library. One of its kind, and perhaps the one and only indoor playroom that is offered by state-run public library. |

 Penang Public Library Not that we are big fans of public library but when we're in TX, Milwood Branch Public Library at Amherst Drive was like our second H.E.B. store. Not for groceries shopping obviously but borrowing so-called 'learning' materials mostly books, sometimes CDs and DVDs, almost every week. And it was just a stone throw from where we lived that made it pretty convenience. Back in Penang, we always think twice before making a trip to library. Never stepped into any of them for more… |

 The Founder of Ulu Yam Loh Mee Loh Mee is synonym to Ulu Yam Lama. For the folks who are wondering where is Ulu Yam or nowadays is written as Hulu Yam, this small township is located in Batang Kali Selangor, slightly off the north-south trunk road. Sitting somewhere in-between Kuala Kubu Bahru and Serendah in Rawang, Ulu Yam Lama is famed for handmade noodles in starchy black soy sauce or better known as Loh Mee. Introduced by our host, the return journey from Fraser's Hill took us to detour in… |

 Penang Organic Restaurant No menu, just set meals or sometimes noodles, cakes and dumplings, these are key features of a quaint organic cafe set up off Jalan Burma. Highly recommended for their organic dumplings, that was the reason leading us to find this little eatery - Reflections. Reflections started as an organic and natural food store and today, it is also known one of Penang Vegan Restaurants in George Town. Of white facade, tucked away in a quiet and attractive residential street opposi… |

 Used Book Stores in Penang Used book stores in Penang are places that I have almost erased from mind. Once upon a time ago, I was a heavy-user for used books due to budget constraint. Coping with the last two years in high school was exhausting. These hectic days not only demanded loads effort and time but also money! Yep, I had never spent so much on reference books before. To source for inexpensive books, I frequented a spot on Love Lane in George Town. To identify this nameless place, my clas… |

 Macrobiotic Diet in Penang Restaurant After burning some calories at Botanic Garden, what else is better none other than fueling up with a healthy meal in a recent established Penang restaurant. Aplenty of eateries are conveniently nearby particularly along Gottlieb Road but Idealite - Malaysia’s 1st Macrobiotic Wellness Kitchen somehow struck us. Macrobiotic is not a new jargon, it had been used in food and health context as early as 1797 by Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland (a German Physician). Summ… |
