RESTO RAVE ❤ Ramen Sanpachi 38
I’ve seen Ramen Sanpachi (or Ramen 38) around malls, but have never felt the urge to try it out, until our “local” guide Imman took us to the original branch Jakarta in the Blok M area. This place is a hole in the wall type in the gritty area of Blok M. What’s special about it, is that this one serves pork (unlike it’s mall-located halal counterparts). TD and I are the pork tourists of Jakarta and we are happy to discover new places with fellow pork lovers. iPhone photos after the jump!
Read MoreHCMC TRAVEL DIARIES ✈ More eats
Food is cheap, healthy, clean and super yummy in HCMC. It was one of the goals of our trip – to eat as much authentic Vietnamese cuisine! I’ve already featured all the phở bò we ate and our top 2 favorite restos, L’Usine and Ngon, so here is the rest of our trip from the point of view of our tummies.
HCMC TRAVEL DIARIES ✈ Phở Bò
TD and I absolutely love Vietnamese beef noodle soup or Phở Bò. So it was our default order when we didn’t know what was good. The Phở Bò we tried on our trip to Ho Chi Minh City after the jump!

RESTO RAVE ❤ Magnum Cafe Pop-up
A friend of ours read about the Magnum Cafe online in an international paper and told us about it. So we made sure to to come over for dessert! Good thing too because according to Fab Tad it is a pop-up resto and will not be a permanent fixture in the Jakarta dining scene.

After a morning at the gardening shop and the ceramic outlet store the girls and I deserved a treat! So we had lunch at KOI Kemang which is a favorite spot in Kemang. They are known for their Brunch menu (I personally prefer Social House for brunch) but we decided to try their regular lunch menu. All 3 of the girls ordered the Angus Roast Beef with Truffled Pudding which was excellent. I must bring TD (The Diplomat) here so he can try it! That Truffled pudding is amazing!

To other bloggers out there…. do you have such a special experience that you end up putting off doing a post about it because you want it to be nice enough to give the experience justice? Well that’s what happened with this post!
TD took me to Sekitei for my birthday and I had such a wonderful time that I took so many pictures and wanted the post to be soooo perfect. I put so much pressure on myself that I ended up putting it off so long that I forgot about posting it at all. LOL. (My birthday was last September…eeep!)

PHUKET TRAVEL DIARIES ✈ Fresh seafood at Phong Phang – Palai Bay
“The crab that walks too far falls into the pot.”
- Haitian Proverb
Coming from a province near the sea and enjoying freshly caught seafood my entire life, I am what you call a seafood snob. I’d rather eat something else if the seafood isn’t fresh. I barely ate seafood when I was in Manila, because despite being in an archipelago it was hard to find fresh and inexpensive seafood.
Read MorePHUKET TRAVEL DIARIES ✈ Breakfast, Sala-style
Day 2: We woke up to another amazing, sunny day (despite the forecast of clouds and rainshowers..Yay!) and headed off to breakfast at Sala Restaurant. We weren’t expecting much because it was not buffet, but were we in for a surprise! Breakfast, Sala-style, was a yummy feast! Check out the drool-worthy food pics after the jump!
