Penang Hawker Food
Last month in June, we drove up to Penang for a friend’s wedding. It was only over the weekend, so it was pretty impossible to conquer all the Penang hawker food. The last time I was in Penang was nearly 10 years ago, so I could hardly remember what’s good to eat. Well, this time round, it was a memory refresher. Here’s some great foods I still miss… We reached there in time for dinner, so dinner was at a hawker place, I can’t remember the name now. ‘Oh Jien’ which is Fried Oyster in Egg, super oily and super delish. This can be found anywhere in Malaysia but in…

Postcrossing joy
It’s a joy to be able to give joy to another person. That’s one of the joys of postcrossing. Recently I sent a postcard of Elma my cat to a Finnish lady who loves cats. It reached its destination in 28 days after traveling 9,090kms! ullakettu wrote you a message: ————— Dear Leona, I must say your postcard with Elma-cat and adorable bird stamp was something very special, thank you so much!

Salut Seafood Centre
Salut Seafood centre was recommended by my friend who stayed in Kota Kinabalu for over 3 years. She was studying at UMS for her degree. Salut is pretty far from the town, so it was well known only among the locals rather than tourists. Tourists would usually be recommended to go to the ones near town or around the hotels. Initially we were not sure whether we should go to Salut since we don’t know the way. It would like 30 min to drive from Tune Hotel. John’s aunt talked lowly of it too, saying that the seafood is less and not that cheap anymore. After our island hopping morning…

Island Hopping in Kota Kinabalu Sabah
Sabah is the best place to go island hopping, having so many islands that are still pretty natural thanks to conservation efforts. Tunku Abdul Rahman Park is one of the most accessible and popular ones within Kota Kinabalu town. The Park is created to protect the environment of 5 islands, Manukan, Mamutik, Gaya, Sapi and Sulug. The Park entrance at the jetty called Jesselton Point is up north of the town. We parked our rented Kancil under a shady tree to avoid paying for parking fees. Entering the ticketing area, we found a blood donation drive going on. There were many counters all promoting island packages. It’s up to customers…
