The Eastern & Oriental Hotel Penang – Experience The Heritage Wing
The Eastern & Oriental Hotel (E&O) stands majestically along Farquhar Street in Penang and each time I pass by it, I’m always awestruck by its elegant beauty.

In fact, it made such a great impression on me that I can still recall how I stood at the window facing the sea, feeling the sea breeze on my … [Read more...]
CULFISHERY – order your seafood via WhatsApp!
Before the Covid-19 pandemic and MCO, when life was normal, I’ve always bought my seafood at the wet market and sometimes, at the supermarket.
