Ao Nang Beach. Krabi in Thailand is as spectacular as all the photos I have seen online. This place is well known for its limestone karsts and beautiful turquoise waters. Read about the places we visit at Ao Nang.

Shane and I found our favorite Japanese Restaurant at Citta Mall. Sushi Zanmai has some amazing varieties of delicious sushi and sashimi and we are inspired with the food presentation. One big bonus for us – they have the real Japanese wasabi for us to try and it was indeed a culinary experience!

Our quest to look for the real Japanese wasabi leads us to Don Don Donki outlet and Sen Sen Sushi restaurant in Sunway Pyramid, Bandar Sunway. Braving a huge crowd on the weekend of their Grand Opening to get a taste of the Japanese wasabi as advertised.

I LOVE ice kacang. My favorite place for this thirst quenching famous Malaysian dessert is at Suria KLCC. It is quite a distance to get there from where we are staying BUT ice kacang there is my to go place. I will explain why.

Shane and I are fortunate to celebrate many festivals in Malaysia as a part of a multicultural families.

From excess baggage at Spokane Airport to exhausting long haul flight from Seattle to Singapore. We were completely drain out when we finally landed in Kuala Lumpur. Do not book certain legroom seats with Singapore Airlines.

I think of this Chicken with Crispy Ginger and Black Fungus every time I want to cook a dish using ginger. This dish also call for some Chinese rice wine to compliment the taste of ginger. This is the first time Shane gets to see black fungus up close when I ask him to hold them for me for photo taking. That man is not convince it is tasty.

It has been a year since I was first diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy. Living with Bell’s Palsy has been a challenge emotionally and physically. It has made me questioned what is important for my life and not to take health for granted. This has been a roller coaster journey and I am thankful for moral supports from family and friends.
