Fast forward to 2009 and I am happy to find Little Tokyo in Makati. Fellow bloggers have been talking about this place and it was time to see :D It warmed my heart at first sight. ... Continue Reading...
LP 52: Paboritong Litrato (Kalikasan)
Mahirap ang tema ng Litratong Pinoy ngayong linggo na ito kasi kailangang pumili ng paboritong photos. Mahirap kasi halos apat na libo na rin ang mga larawan ko sa Flickr, at ang iba namang paborito ko ay hindi na inabot ng digital age. Katulad ng mga coup d'etat nung late 80s at ang pagguho ng mga gusali sa Baguio. Kasagsagan pa yun ng aking mga coverage sa dyaryo. Sayang di ko iningatan kaya nawala na ang mga yun. Ipapakita ko na lang ang ilang pictures sa mga paboritong lugar na napuntahan ko sa Pilipinas. Kung lalabas lang din tayong mga taga-Maynila ay masasabi ... Continue Reading...
Penang hawker food
What made my short stay in Penang so worth it is that I didn't taste anything that wasn't to my liking. Meaning, everything was delicious to my curious tastebuds. I didn't even eat in a restaurant labelled as "fine dining." Because to have an inkling of Penang cuisine, you'd have to be there on the streets, where the cooking mamas chop onions as fast as those chefs on TV in their little stalls and serve food on makeshift tables. Outsiders would have the impression that whipping up good hawker food was a way of life there, and the practice was passed on through ... Continue Reading...
A short journey to Georgetown, Penang
We stayed in Georgetown, Penang at about the same amount of time it took us to get there - a total of 10 hours from Kuala Lumpur, and back. It wasn't really much of a bother as the ride was smooth and it afforded views of the Malaysian countryside I haven't seen. Add to this my determination to go to Penang because of all the things I've read about it in publications like 1000 Places to See Before You Die and more recently New York Times' 44 Places to Go in 2009. Curious old me wanted to see what the hype was all about. And glad to say I wasn't disappointed. ... Continue Reading...
Sunway Lagoon Theme Park, Selangor
When you're in Malaysia, I'd highly recommend a visit to Sunway Lagoon if you're tired of the whole Kuala Lumpur shopping-eating scene. The resort is just a 40-minute taxi ride from KL. As I didn't grow up with cartoons, I find frolicking in its chlorinated waters better than romping with Buzz Lightyear in Hong Kong Disneyland. Sunway reminded me of a bigger version of the Fontana Resort in Clark and it is also better than Genting Highlands because the latter looks really old and cramped. If you can zoom through this picture, you'd notice that there's a ... Continue Reading...
