Petaling Street @ Glen Waverley

On February 28, 2010 By

“Say What???!!!”

Yup, Petaling Street has landed in Australia and no we weren’t lost.

Note: You can see the signboard for the store next door, ABC (which is another Malaysian Restaurant, hence the ABC – Air Batu Kacang)… food there isn’t that authentic is all I’m going to say.

Opened in [...]

Le Petit Francais @ South Yarra

On February 27, 2010 By

“Why didn’t you take me to this place?”, I questioned Ms Tinymouse when I saw her sister’s post on Le Petit Francais… (To read more about their experience there… visit Melbourne Munchkin’s blog) *bleik*

“Les poisson, les poissons,
how I love les poissons,
love to chop, and to serve, little [...]

Hakka cuisine is the cooking style of the Hakka people, who are primarily found in southeastern China (Guangdong and Fujian).

Being 1quarter Hakka (My Grandma is a Hakka moi)… I decided to venture out and try this cuisine.

The Boy and Cousin A had to tag along =) We [...]

Day 8 – Part II – Sakkara (Saqqara) & Citadel of Salah Din

On February 17, 2010 By

(the first pyramid ever built, the Step Pyramid, during the reign of King Djoser; pronounced zozer)

And so we arrive in Sakkara, the original Memphis… not the one where Elvis was born.

Beautiful smooth columns, cool to the touch. This is the roofed collonade columns leading into the funerary complex of King Djoser.

Day 8 – Part I – Giza & Lunch @ Carvery

On February 16, 2010 By

Checked in round 8pm… after a long 4 hour journey from Alexandria to Cairo, I couldn’t be happier.

For our last 2 nights, we were put up in Le Meridien, Pyramids. A would be stunning 5 star hotel if we didn’t stay in Alexandria the night before.

Also, the [...]

Day 7 – Alexandria – Athineous

On February 15, 2010 By

Wiki travel has it that the “Mermaid of Alexandria” is a local legend frequented by both Durrell and Cavafy, but alas, it has fallen far since its glory days. The views are still amazing, and the Greek motifs in the gilded friezes and stenciled frescoes give some character, but the food is, despite [...]

From the excitement and the lack of sleep (only 3 hours), this tour had a mad schedule.

Our welcome plate of fruits, not that we had the energy or time to eat this…

Best hotel ever!!… This was the Helnan Palestine Hotel in Alexandria… 5 stars!! And [...]

On February 12, 2010 By

So after lunch at El Hussein’s, we were taken to the Papyrus factory (shop). We were introduced to the art of making papyrus. We spent about LE875 on 5 papyrus paintings. Very proud of ourselves, although dissapointed that we didn’t get more…

In the picture below, you can see the papyrus in it’s raw form. [...]
