Man vs Wild Bear Grylls Guatemala. Watch starting minute 3:04Bear Grylls "After a night out, it is important to replace your energy, and one of the best things in the jungle for that are plams. The hearts of most palms around the world are edible, you just need to cut away the tough outer leafs.

Some of you may have heard or read that one of the most active volcanos in Indonesia erupted. Gunung Merapi aka the Mountain of Fire erupted multiple times since 25th of October. Villagers from the foot of the mountains were evacuated and all but that did not prevent the ashes from being blown to the near by city of Yogyakarta. Watch Indonesian news on Gunung Merapi eruption hereWhen I heard

The future is uncertain.At this time two months ago, I was walking out of the jungle after a mountain hiking trip in Gunung Yong Yap, Cameron Highland. I still remembered my legs were tired and my problematic right knee was swelling up inside as we made our way out of Pos Brooke orang asli settlement. The pain was not new, I have a history of “running patella” (running kneecap) or patella femoral

I'm heading to Sungai Siput tomorrow after work, and Thursday I'll be hiking up Gunung Ulu Sepat! YAY! Ulu Sepat is the 7th G7 (G7 = top 7 highest mountain in peninsular Malaysia). I can't stand having instant noodles and bread for all the days so I spent the last week busy preparing the menu and food stuff for our 3D2N hike.

I was forced to take 4 days of leave last month. I'm not sure if it was a good thing or bad thing but forced to take what... I had no choice. Didn't want to waste it doing nothing at home so I went to Brunei to visit my best buddy and then to Mulu to climb the famous Mulu Pinnacles. Here are some highlights from my trip. ...look out for the chicken backside! Airline food. EEK! Ikan Kunyit sucks

There is no such gunung called Gunung Disappointment. What was a disappointment was that me and my climbing buddy had to turn back after a few hours of trekking on a supposedly 2D1N climbing trip.The Daun Keladi Hutan (Wild potato leaf) being used by some insect to built a cocoon. Gunung Chabang was my last climbing trip for 2009. I was desperate to climb something (a mountain of course, not a

So it was an easy guess. Sate kuda... aka BBQ'ed marinated horse meat. Telaga Warna, Dieng plateau.It was our second last day in Jogja. We spent our time becoming typical tourist visiting the Borubudor temple and the Dieng plateau. After the long day, we decided that it was time to have something the typical tourist wouldn't.

Lumppppiaaaa! Somehow saying the word lumpia out loud makes me laugh. I have no idea what but lumpia reminds me of the Oompa-Loompas in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. I know, I know, two very different words... but Lumppppiaaaa! HAHAHA!Lumpia is actually the Indonesian version of fried popia. Deep fried spring roll.

Happy New Year Folks!While many of the people I know spent their new year's eve out with friends, I spent it with my family in Cameron Highlands. Nice little gathering up in the mountains (I like :P) where the temperature is low and the water is icy cold. We had our eve dinner eating organic steamboat somewhere in Berinchang. Not bad, but the steamboat reminded me of a steamboat I had with a

We passed by many es drinks in the hot afternoon (es as in ice) but told ourselves that we will be back for them when we had an emptier stomach. Come night, and sadly all the es es stalls were closed. All was left was this Ronde stall.I was skeptical in trying at first... but what the hell, we were short of one more meal to finish our '5 course' dinner for the night. We ordered a bowl to share,

Our customary Jump Shot! A must at the peaks. Gunung Rajah's peak was nice. We could see Genting Highlands from there and I am also guessing one distant mountain (which still looked tall) was Gunung Tahan.I broke 1 out of 12 eggs. Acceptable ma right? I mean the egg was at the corner. It was no protection like the other eggs on the inside. And it was a long 10 hours climb up... ok la. Breakfast

Honestly, nothing can go wrong if you go with instant noodles.Some climbers I know thinks that instant noodles is sad though. Climb so susah-susah (difficult) to enjoy instant noodles? All I can say is that I rather have instant noodles than rice... carrying up mini bags of rice kills! I was the cook on the first night when a couple of us hit Gunung Rajah. Maggie Mee TomYam.

It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548."Mount Merapi is my most enjoyable climb so far. Good weather, awesome view, and great company of climbers.

100%! That's was how I felt when I absorbed the atmosphere at the lower second peak after my Garuda Peak climb in Mount Merapi. Did the taste of Kopi Luwak bring me to 100%? Well, read on. As you know, or may not know, Kopi Luwak is the most expansive coffee in the world. (Actually, not that expensive if you think about it...75,000Rp is RM27...ok what) Why?

So.. went to Jogya for the second time and it was the second time I went hunting for food along the Malioboro Street. During my first trip, I remembered I saw a lady selling bats in front of Pasar Beringharjo. When I tried to take pictures but she chooed me away because I wasn't interested in buying... I was just there for the pictures. This time, I managed to take a few close shots =)I learn

Back in the good old days of primary school, I was a very innocent and good student. *ahem ahem* The school I studied at is small and the headmaster (I still remember Mr.Teoh! He was a really good headmaster!) knew all the students, if not by name, by their faces. He knows who the bad ass nottie students and the less naughty students.

I know. It's been a while. But please forgive me for my long hiatus because I was stranded in the middle of the ocean and was forced to LOB (live on board) for the past few couple of months. HAHAHA! Ok, jokes aside. It's good to be back! I have been working odd hours and it was really taxing me. Ocean = office. LOB = Camped at work so many times that I lost track of it. But all is good now

When I saw the poster of Mount Batukaru hanging under the Lumbung, I knew I had to climb it. It would be good training for me too because I am going to climb Gunung Kinabalu in July. I didn't really think what would happen (like Eat First Think Later, it's a Do First Suffer Later hahaha) up there.

It was a day after the Mount Batukaru climb. Our legs were aching, and our bodies were tired. All I really wanted was a 5 hour spa session... but I got something equal nice. A trip to the Belulang hotspring. It felt like a long drive to Belulang. We passed by rice fields, and villages and then Wayan spotted this road side stall.

I thought of the egg tart which I heard so much good reviews about in Damansara Uptown area so after Jackson Burger, I suggested to JellyBean that we head there. Since we drove pass Taman Paramount area, a detour! Landed in O&S (not ONS *ahem* if you know what I mean ;P) but too bad... it was close shop time and every stall was already cleaning up. No prawn noodles, no Penang Chee Cheong Fun, no

Being a food blogger does not mean I know everything about food. And even if I have heard good review about something, it doesn't mean I have tried it. Wong Ah Wah's chicken wing is one of those topics that pop up when talking about food in KL Jalan Alor area. Guess what, it's not until last week (it was last week right? .. the night KL was flooded di banjir kilat) did I actually try the famous

I personally find the food here value for money. While some of the dishes are just so so, I have found a few of my favorite dishes here as well. But what turns me off is the service. It's not the lack of attention, but everything seems slow

Busy busy busy. Life is driving me nuts these days. I tell myself that I need a break away from work, life and activities, but every time I do find time,...why oh why do I say "YES! I'll do that!" I wonder if it's a bad thing.Anyway, I better feed on some good ol' Do Nuts, HAHAHAHA just to make sure I'm ok being nutty. I got these from Giant. Comes cheap and goes well with hot tea, coffee or

A quick post on my last dinner with Jin when I was in Singapore... and the last mean which I have pictures off. It was a whole day of Shopping in Orchard but we ended up in Bugis Junction again because I really wanted to try Ma Masion out. I have never eaten is a Japanese fuse French restaurant before. We manage to get our bookings this time Yippie!Ma Maison Restaurant Level 02-51 Bugis Junction,

Jin and I skipped breakfast again on Sunday. SaturNight was way fun. And I think this is my first time going out to the clubs, wanting to return to bed before the club closes. What time does the clubs close anyway? We left at 4am and they were still blastin' music away! Clubbing is cheap in Singapore, and crowds are way better too. I can't believe it when I saw the board "Before 10pm, SG11, After

When I saw this, it totally reminded me of MOS. Ministry of Sound. Clubbing while having some sashimi? I can see that happening. HAHAHA. Anyway, SaturNIGHT was meeting up with folks from Singapore which I want to meet/see. My *ahem* good looking brother was there. The two Ying's I know... one my good buddy back from college days, and the other famous flogger XLB. And last but definitely not the

We woke too late for breakfast and brunch on Saturday. So we just headed out for lunch. We ended up at Shokudo, Japanese Pasta and Pizza in City Link Mall.Jin ordered the Cabonara Shokudo Style (SG12.80). Surprisingly it tasted quite good. I personally prefer authentic Japanese and Italian dishes but this works.The Tako and Bacon (SG12.80) I had wasn't to bad either. I loved the fact that they

A very delayed post on my Singapore trip because believe it or not, I actually forgot to pack my camera for this trip!I was rushing home from the office. Ditch my laptop aside and took a quick shower. Had to pack some of my remaining travel essentials... and then figure out if I needed to bring anything else. All checked. And the most important item, the pastport... checked.It was about 10

I was quite happy when I found the text, but was really disappointed when I realised that I have lost the pictures that came with it. Went through my backups. Nothing. Cache. Nothing. CDs. Nothing.Asked if he kept it... I doubt he has it. He wrote this way back in April 2004. ...but then weeks later I got a text message... "I found the pictures!"So here it is.

When the food blogger eats too much, it's time for her to exercise. ...or maybe not. I joined a bunch of friends for a macro photography outing yesterday in Taman Pertanian, Bukit Cahaya. A really good Sunday walk in the park!I saw this tree which its berries were growing at the tree trunk. Was interested in it because I have eaten green berries like this back in my aunt’s house.I tried biting

I still remember a few years back, Apple was the one who brought me to Soo Kee Mee for the beef noodles. Soo Kee Mee, No 14, Medan Imbi, 55100, KL Call +603 2148 1324 or +603 2145 9528 to make reservations. Opening hours from 12-3pm and 6pm-1am daily.And here we are after the many years.

Step #1: Clean your chicken. Cut out all the fats. Remove the chicken internals and clean the insides properly. Step #2: If you like having the skin, double check to make sure you don't have chicken feather remains stuck in the skin. Pinch them out if any.Step #3: Salt the chicken inside out and let to marinade for about 30 minutes. Step #4: Rinse the chicken. Keep both chicken feet in the cut

None of my colleagues have eaten in Bukhara because "There always no one eating there. I bet it's not nice". I was so sick of eating everything else in KLCC that I didn't care if the food was said to be good or not. I just needed something different. And from that dinner onwards, Bukhara is the place I recommend folks who tells me there is nothing else to eat in KLCC.Apple La Vim (RM8) vimto, 7-

I got into the car without knowing what was planned for the night. Just sit back and relaxed, and went with the flow. Parked at Pavilion and got a little lost in the shopping complex for a while because he didn't want to tell me where we were heading. But it's ok, I had fun getting lost. When we reached Carlos Mexican Canteena (Lot C3-03 The Pavalion), he said "Ah here we are!" I think he didn't

Have you heard of music hangovers? Will, you will when you read on.I woke up with my ears still ringing that Sunday morning. I was standing a few feet away from the speakers at Zouk, while Lap Sap and ShitDisco played their "dirt" and "rubbish" for the folks to enjoy. Music was good, the bass was blastin!The ear drums belonging to this old lady can't take the strong bass anymore so her ears kept

Mom was away for the weekend. My sis had her own plans. So it was me and Daddy. When it's the both of us, we always head to Alisan Mamak for Mee Diau. But since it was still early (Mee Diau stall only opens at 8pm), we head to New Town P.J. for duck rice instead. My Dad loves this place and have always been a loyal customer. I still remember many years ago the coffee shop had to open table and

I had a few box of corn flakes at home which have only about 2 to 3 months of shelf life left. Eat cornflakes everyday? Make cornflakes cookies? I didn't have time to do all that so I gave my colleague a box to experiment with and guess what? Before....The results of her experiment was successfully!She made chili, fried ikan bilis and brown groundnuts and mix them all together with the cornflakes

The first thing that caught my eye were the lights and hung from the ceiling at Hadhramout. Ain't that beautiful? I love the shadows that the light makes on the ceiling too.Hadhramout Restaurant is located at Lot 787A, Chulan Square, Jalan Raja Chulan (03-2142 2744) and serves Yemeni cuisine.

I'm feeling lucky on Google for 'Amuse Buche' is "a sort of pre-appetizer, a bite or two of something tasty,..."I had no idea what amuse buche was until that Thursday night at Cavallini's in Palace of the Golden Horses. I was lucky enough to have Chef Simon Sim's Tuna Tataki with Sea Whelk. He later mentioned, "my amuse buche for you". I went blank "Huh". He later explained to me that Amuse Buche
