It was a cold and wet Friday evening when hubby returned early from work and said he was taking me somewhere nice for my birthday. Despite pestering him so much, he still didn’t want to disclose where he was going to bring me to. He just told me to pack a day’s worth of clothes and off we hit […]
Unwinding At Lexis Suites Penang
Just came back from Penang yesterday! In fact, we’ve been to Penang many times and almost all of which coincided with hubby’s conferences that were usually held around the Georgetown or Batu Ferringhi area.

Kimchi stew or Kimchi-jjigae (김치찌개), made with kimchi and other ingredients, namely scallions, onions, silken beancurd and pork has been my favourite stew since my last visit to South Korea. Kimchi-jjigae is cooked […]
