iEat @ DIY Sour Plum Stuffed Tomatoes

Yes, you read it right, I am going to blog about dried sour plum stuffed tomatoes
I learned about this interesting recipe when I was invited to a housewarming party.

All you need are tomatoes and dried sour plums. I used smaller sized of tomato.

Remove the tomato core and make a hole in the center. Then stuff the sour plum inside. Let it sit in fridge for four hours or more. 

Serve it chilled. OMIGOD, they taste so gooood and juicy! I could eat it all day. My friends who do not even like tomatos loved it! I bet you will love it!

iPlay @ Gold Coast, Australia

We went to Gold Coast after we left Cairns. Gold Coast is a well-known theme park capital of Australia. It has Warner Bros Movie world, Sea World Gold Coast and so on. We did not to go to any theme park as we aren't theme park lover.

View before landed at Gold Coast

We joined duck tour and walked around the city aimlessly to enjoy the beauty of the city. Then we strolled along the beautiful beach side.

Surfers Paradise.

We sat on the beach, took my shoes of to feel the sand between my toe. The sea breeze was so refreshing. The relaxing sound of the waves that crushing on the beach make me so in love with Gold Coast

Beautiful people was around the beach.

Sunrise and infinity sea view.

Little girl was chasing after pigeon. Happiness can be so simple.

From Q1's observation deck - Skypoint

Q1 is the tallest building in Australia. It has a 360 degree view at the Skypoint. One of the  friendly local resident brought us around the deck and share the history of Gold Coast with us. He pointed out the whale in the sea when whale reach the surface to breathe.

No more lonely nights!

We stopped by Harbour Town Outlet Shopping Centre for shopping. Don't miss out this place if you like to shopping. The shopping centre is about 20 mins away by bus from Surfer Paradise. Get your cash or credit card ready as you may find a great discount in this shopping centre.

Accomodation:
We were staying at Hotel Grand Chancellor in Gold Coast. The hotel is close to the beach. It has good view from room's balcony. The room was cleaned and the staff were friendly. It worth the money that we was paid for. I would recommend this hotel for those who are planning to visit to Gold Coast.

iEat @ DIY Lettuce Wrap

I googled how to get rid of the lettuce in my fridge and I found this recipe - lettuce wrap. The recipe looks fairly easy so I decided to give it a try.

I used ground chicken for the lettuce wrap. It took about 20 mins to prepare it. I put garlic, onion, ginger and ground chicken into a large skillet and stir fried it with medium high heat until it turned brown. Then I stirred in soy sauce, dark soy source, sesame oil, chili flakes and cooking wine. I seasoned it with salt and pepper. It is now ready to serve!

Spoon the chicken onto the lettuce leave. fold it up and EAT. Apparently it's not a good choice to use lollo bionda lettuce. It is quite messy to wrap the chicken up with, but it is still tasty! :D

iPlay @ Nepal

First of all, I would like to thanks the Airasia X for bringing me to this magical Nepal with affordable airfare. This ticket was booked 8 months ago.

I was excited and counting down when the travel date is near. Finally, it the day! I'm going to spend my coming 8 days in Nepal.

The flight from Malaysia to Kathmandu took about 5 hours. Please do no sleep when the flight is about to touch down to Nepal! Otherwise, you might miss the chance to see panoramic mountain range view from the airplane window. You will be able to see the mountain view on your right side when you fly from Malaysia. But i have no idea what is the name of these mountain Everest? Maybe.

Can you feel the power of mother earth?? 

“Namaste!!”(It mean hello or goodbye in Nepal) We were warm greeted by the friendly driver once arrived at Kathmandu. While we heading to guesthouse, i can see prayer flags were hanging everywhere in Kathmandu city. These flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom.

Trucks are everywhere in Kathmandu.

After resting a night at Kathmandu city, my friends and i had a good close up to the ecology by visiting to Chitwan National Park also known as Heart of the Jungle. View along the way from Kathmandu to Chitwan National Park is amazing. The natural beauty is everywhere in Nepal.

The view out lf every window resemble this. 

There was a lot of activity in the park such as jungle adventure, canoeing, bath with elephant and much more. I had experienced a slow and relaxing moment during the visit to the park. 

It's 11am now. Brunch time.

Canoe ride at Narayani River.

I will share more on Pokhara, Nagarkot on the coming post. 

iPay @ Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2015, Putrajaya

The 7th International Putrajaya Balloon Fiesta 2015 takes place in Putrajaya from 12th-15th March. Let me begin with a brief introduction on this event. This event first took place in 2009, and has fast become one of the most famous events in Malaysia. Every year, selected balloonists from all over the world are invited to Putrajaya to fly their amazing balloons for all to see.

There will be many colourful balloons from 13 countries, including the USA, Germany, Netherlands, France and more.  This event is expected to attract 300,000 visitors this year. Of course, I’m one of them. 

It's started around 7am. I still able to see the preparation before balloons fly high.

Keep it up! Grow bigger! 

Opps. Getting pack here as balloons are growing! 

Loading... ... 98%. Yeah! They are getting ready to fly. 

Balloons are not launched at the same time but one by one. Everyone is so excited when seeing colourful balloons in unique shapes. 

They are able to fly higher than plane! 

I'm Mr Bald from USA

Obviously, this is by Korea.

Special but scary balloon. :D

I bring along my favourite bunny to take part in this attractive and colourful event too. 

"Hello"

Hot air balloons decorate the sky in Putrajaya

Not limited morning activity, The Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta's highlights include the Night Glow with firework Show, an audio visual display of lights, music and balloons. It is definitely a fun event for the family.

This year, another Hot Air Balloon Fiesta held in Penang on last month too! This would be annual event in Penang. So if you miss out this round, no worries. You may either join Penang Fiesta or Putrajaya by next year! I probably still attend Night glow next year.

iPlay @ Singapore

I spent my last weekend in Singapore - an island just next to my homeland.

It’s so easy to plan a trip in Singapore because the public transport system (taxi, bus, and the MRT) is very efficient. Every attraction that I visited were within walking distance from the MRT station. 

I decided to start my journey by paying a visit to S.E.A. Aquarium @ Resort World Sentosa. This marine life park contains over 800 species of marine animals, swimming in almost 12 million gallons of water. This used to be the world’s largest aquarium. I’m so excited to meet up with fish, especially Giant manta ray! 

Blue sky and white clouds. Before entering the Aquarium.

Great white and hammer head sharks are waving their tails at me when I entered the Aquarium.

I feel like I'm entered into a magic world when I walked into jelly fish section. The light in the tank changes color from time to time. It makes the jelly fish change from red to green, green to purple, and purple to blue…..

Very big tank that is filled with colourful fish and live coral. 

Say cheese! Cute little yellow ray. 

Flying carpet - Giant Manta Ray

I spent around two hours here. This is by far, the top aquarium I have seen! The entry price of S$38 is totally worth it!

A visit to the Gardens by the bay is a must in Singapore nowadays. It is only five minutes walking distance from the Bayfront MRT station. I strolled around the garden and there is no entrance fee. 

View from Dragonfly Bridge.

The night view at Gardens by the bay is highly recommended and I wasn't disappointed. 

Entertained by the music and light show.

“Hello everybody!”

She had a happy moment @ Arab Street

I will definitely go to Singapore again as there were a lot of attractions that I was not able to visit during this trip.

Hope to see you soon!
