WINE & PINTXO NIGHT with Tres Monos & Isle Grocer @ The Vault Alkaff Mansion

Thai Trang Style Breakfast @ Phong Ocha Dim Sum Branch 1 in South Thailand ร้านพงษ์โอชา 1

One of the things I realised from this trip to southern Thailand was this place has great dim sum! Dim sum, of course, is a Guangdong / Hong Kong thing but the Thais have taken the ball and ran with it. 

I mean dim sum here is so creative, innovative, and delicious yet preserves the core tradition of yum cha in its own unique way. Thai style dim sum is a must when you come to south Thailand. 

Md. Zain Cendol @ GIANT Hypermarket Southern City Taman Suria

Md. Zain Cendol | Giant Hypermarket Southern City, Jalan Suria 18, Taman Suria, Johor Bahru ☏ +6017 728 6885 🕘 11am - 9pm

During our dawn till dusk JB food trails, we always have this happy problem of where to chill and let our tummies take a breather between lunch and dinner. We usually go to a mall to walk off some calories, or a cafe to cool our heels. 

Today's trail we popped by at Md. Zain Cendol @GIANT Hypermarket Southern City in Taman Suria. 

Pocha! Korean Street Dining @ JEM • Enjoy Seoul's Hawker Culture in Singapore

Lunch today at Pocha! 

The idea is very simple but hard to resist - bring the street food from Korea's night markets into the comfort of air conditioned shopping malls in Singapore. 

Brilliant. 

Khanom Krok Sweet Dessert Thailand

After our sumptuous lunch on our raft boat house, it was time for dessert and we made khanom krok or coconut pancake. (Also spelt "kanom" without the "h" ). 

Kiat Fang Famous Pork Bun, Roast & Stew Rice • Must Try in Songkhla Old Town พ พฤร้าน เกียดฟั่ง พ พฤ

✍29 Sep 2024. Heard a lot about Songkhla city but visiting it for the first time. It left a deep impression, I love it. I mean cities everywhere are developing very fast with cafes, highways, hotels, condos, popping up but here in Songkhla city, I can still see traces of the old city that reminded me of my childhood in Singapore. 

Spanish Wine Tasting @ CornerStone Wines • An #EatSpainDrinkSpain 2024 Event

Enjoyed and learned about Spanish wines at the Spanish wines night at CornerStone Wines under the auspices of EatSpainDrinkSpainSG 2024 festivities. Since I first joined the EatSpainDrinkSpainSG activities, I looked forward to them every year. 

Raft Boat Sightseeing & Lunch at Ban Nam Rap Mangrove Forest in Trang Province South Thailand บ้านน้ำราบ จ.ตรัง

Touring mangrove forests is one of my favourite travel experiences as I always marvel at the teeming floral and marine life of these forests at tropical river mouths.
